Camo in night missions can be very good. There is just one thing to watch out for: light sources.
Most humans have night vision of 9, so even small night camo values do a lot. However, if your gal is illuminated even a tiny bit, day sight range and day camo is used. Things that can spoil the fun:
- dropped computers. You melee a guy that had a computer in the inventory. In the inventory it gives no light, but once on the ground it is a tiny light source. Suddenly your gal can be seen from the other end of the map...
- the bushes in iron forest. They are a light source in a tileset that is extremely dark. You will most likely not know you are standing in light. You will find out only when things start shooting your gals...
What I do on night missions:
Have a magna lite in the quickdraw slot. Only take it out to spot for enemies, then put it back in to kill the light. You should know that you suffer 50% accuracy vs targets out of your vision range. So if you want to shoot a distant target in a night mission, you need to light it up.
Pro tip when still using airbus or similar: have the gal with the magna lite stand around the corner of your ship. Then you have a zone of shadow you can savely shoot from. See pictures.
Note: this only works if you don't have any surplus magna lites laying on the floor of your craft. Pack accordingly.
