Have a few VTOL's or helicopters fly over with search lights to break up the bleakness and give stealth mechs a little something extra to think about.

I really like this Idea warthunder did something similar with flares in night battles. just hope it won't cause a massive fps drop like the day night change on river city did when that was a thing.

If a stealth 'Mech can survive and thrive on a daytime map (such as Tourmaline Desert or Forest Colony Classic), then some ocassional overflight of a searchlight-equipped helicopter here would be quite dismissible.

MechWarrior 4 had searchlights, sticky flares and parachute flares.

But as Russ Bullock said: "This is not your father's MechWarrior."

Why do you need VTOL to search light mechs? their not that hard to find.....

The OP talked about "stealth mechs".

Finding a Stealth Flea on a very dark map can be a difficult task sometimes ...
