IR and Subdued Flags

IR and Subdued Flags for the XCom operative models.

[Tuczniak]

An infrared flag (or IR flag) is a type of combat identification used by soldiers. They consist of a national flag or other identifying icon with a Velcro backing for application to a soldier's uniform on the upper arm or chest.

IR flags are rendered in materials that result in a high contrast ratio in the infrared spectrum. They are designed to show up brightly whilst being observed through night vision equipment, as found on modern combat aircraft or attack helicopters. They are designed to protect the soldier from friendly fire. However, camouflage (if any) is not compromised as the materials produce a low contrast ratio in the visible spectrum, and are thus not easily visible to the naked eye.

I didn't know what IR flags were. So others may find it interesting too.

Nice mod, but could you make all flags look just in same style (a lot like that brittish one). instead of just running for authenticity. I have a feeling that our mod would be great together with a camouflage texture mod. Really rmoves all this brightnes from the game. Thanx in advance!

Won't you improove your mod? I ;kied it so much!

In response to post #6623596.

That bit about friendly fire from combat aircraft just makes me super nervous in the context of XCOM ironman games xD
