Hi, I only used the Do 17 P by daylight, it would be posible to use it by night with flares? I mean, in some special cases like airfields, troops...

My two cents.

If these night recon units were used for night recon, we should have the option.

Yes, that was exactly the mission of these very specialized units... to recognize targets at night that are especially dangerous to observe during the day. Its effectiveness was less, but it was possible to have information on targets that were not possible (or very difficult) to observe in any other way.

I am not sure how hard it may be to code something like that.
But it seems to me a relatively abysmal thing for an as relatively small achievement in game that requires some modifies to the code.

Historically, they did conduct night recon air missions, especially at low altitude.

So, it really should be a game option.

According to this, from mid-late war MOST tactical LW recon was conducted at night. see about 6 mins in- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPd83eSVJ_Y&t=568s
