Each have their place. It is just that PGI shortened the range of Night Vision. If they undid this change it would be fine.

not only the distance , see if there is smoke coming out from a dead mech you are forced to switch to heat vision or was it night vision to see through that smoke.

No.

Having both is useful. Combining would likely combine the shortcomings of both.

Heat vision is awesome in fog and blizzards as well as clear spaces in hot maps. But smokey places like caustic or dead mechs blind heat vision. Night vision on the other hand is useful for seeing through smoke.

There was an idea to implement a "height vision", showing the gradient of the terrain in a color spectrum, identifying inclines and traversable areas. One of the developers responded that it wouldn't be too difficult to display terrain gradients, but the idea went nowhere.
