I was playing the Night Fighting training Mission supplied with the game where you get to use the M60 IR light.  I can never see the opponent vehicles, either using the IR sights or the regular sights.  My other platoon tank can see them and shoot at them.  I can be seen and hit by the enemy as well.  If I go to the TC position, my gunner can target the enemy but if I assume the gunner's position I can't see them, no matter which sight I use (z and c keys).  The most I can ever see is the enemy vehicle's lights.

Is 'stay concealed' selected on the orders menu? This cause the IR projector to be turned off, IIRC.

33lima, no I turned it on.  The vision of the ai is uncanny.  I can see my wing man blasting away at the enemy and I can see shots coming in from them.  If I act as commander, gunner can sight and return fire but if I use either the commander's scope or the gunner's scope I can't spot the tanks that are firing at me.  Perhaps it is the foliage.

When you say you "can't spot them", are you referring to the sight being broken or you're having a hard time differentiating between rocks and tanks?

It's quite a bit easier to fix the latter.

I can see trees and objects and enemy apcs dashing about in the underbrush.  But I cannot spot the enemy tanks that can see and target me.  My ai wing man can see them because he is shooting at them.  When I act as TC the gunner will spot and fire at tanks but I cannot see what he is shooting at or spot other targets for him to shoot.

You can use the button to take a target from the commander. The gun will face the right direction, and I think a white/grey dot is displaying on the target. Try to give us some screenshots of the situation  ;)
