    Add a Tactical Flashlight for GUNS!!!

    Many real-life Special Forces and even Standard Infantry military use tactical flashlight. I do not like using NVG's all the time in this game because they are not very clear. Adding a tactical flashlight would be very realistic, useful, and not really hard to design and add. It is mainly just created the general shape and then making it so that when you turn on your flashlight, I certain spot becomes brighter. Now PLEASE DO THIS FOR NEXT UPDATE!!!!!

    I second this. In combat situations or exploring at night in unguided mode, a flashlight would really come in handy. It wouldn't make any sense while sneaking tho.

    This would be a great implement, although how would it work?

    My personnal take is just a rip off of another franchise : momentarly blind the enemy, just enough to aim for the head. But it work both ways, making you detectable in the dark decrasing the enemy responsable Time and giving away your position

    While there are more presssing items to address the idea of adding a tact light especially if it can temporarily blind enemied would be a very welcome addition to the game.

    Especially when Switch to a sidearm.

    Now it gets me wondering : if they hypoteticly add a tac flashlight as a weapon attachment, will it be a rail attachment and in concsequence replace a laser designator?

    I ask the question because we all are well aware that the designers at Ubisoft don't seem to have a clue about fireams.

    It would be nice to have the ability to add a flashlight AND a designator, the same way it would have been nice to have a foregrip AND a biopod (moreover a deployable biopod or grippod).

    But I think I have better chances to find an unicorn than Ubisoft putting an effort on these things...

    Instead to adding a flashlight to guns, have them as a attachment to the vest like the enemies do. That way we don't have to sacrifice a attachment slot.

    Yes, we should be able to do combo's...Real operadors do...
    And as for pistol's, surefire has some pistol laser light devices (But the light is not as strong as some other models)

    We should get the option to equip the flashlight to our helmets and/or our weapons, ALONGSIDE with a IR light attached to our helmet, and an IR strobe.
