Night combat

have enough battery and thermal scope on

it would make your position extremely visible from a long ways off. so maybe you'd achieve some kind of tactical surprise for like 5 seconds and then it would be extremely easy for the enemy to mortar your position into shit

Pretty much this. If youre lucky youll fry the eyeballs of a few PFCs and then get bombed into the stoneage by arty, mortars, CAS, whatever they have on deck.

the idea is that they'd be positioned further away from your positions, along likely routes of approach etc. but I was more curious about how they'd affect troops wearing NV, would it give them too much night blindness to carry on or do NV goggle cap out at certain extremes?

Unless you're dealing with third world poorfags, they'll be using autogating NODs. Pretty much anything better than gen 1 manufactured after 2000 will be autogated by default.

they will just autogate (shut off temporarily) while they look at the bright things. no permanent damage to modern NODs and they will automatically come back on when its not too bright.

that "blinking" effect was autogating

inside the house yea. I mean they are conducting a raid, not a fire mission.

What's a good clip on unit to use in conjunction with an acog?

Thermal sights to be specific

Illuminating the battlefield means you can see the enemy with NODs and they can see you, which is far better from only the enemy seeing you.

night airshit games have taught me that putting big fuckoff IR lamps over entrances and chokepoints makes it almost impossible for enemy idiots to get close to your position without you knowing. It works even better if the lamps are motion-activated. Would it work against an actually-competent force? Probably not.
