Could we get illumination rounds for Southern Storm? I think it would make multiplayer more balanced.

On our list with the overhaul we want to do on the entire indirect fire system. There are a number of things in front of it right now.

This reminds me of a story. I was doing night live-fire on Range 201 at Graf and we had a live Dragon round to fire. If you're familiar with the Dragon thermal sight, you know how finicky they were with the gas bottles to work right. So at the moment of truth the sight failed, and of course this is a spectator event. I asked my FIST if we had illum available and we coordinated to fire illum with the mover target in motion. And we got the hit for a happy ending.
So, if SS factors in failure for mech infantry Dragon thermals at night, illum rounds should be factored in to help. But at the game time scale and range, might be a tricky calculation. But hey...
