Supporters Liam Porter Posted November 20, 2011 Supporters Posted November 20, 2011 I just looked out the window and it's so foggy I can't even see 5 metres to the path, can only just see the light from the street lights. I was just wondering if anyone has been airsoft in extremely foggy conditions (like 10m or so visibility). If so, what weapon/play style did you use and how was it?
Nickona Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 it was foggy when i left but luckily it cleared up
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted November 20, 2011 Supporters Posted November 20, 2011 We had about 20m maximum today - challenging, but different. You are permanetly wondering if it is actually foggy or your glasses have steamed up. very cold, damp, muddy. have to keep moving or doing something to stop your hands from freezing, other than that it is fantastic and well worth the effort.
Supporters Liam Porter Posted November 20, 2011 Author Supporters Posted November 20, 2011 I really want fog next time I go, although sniping may be difficult..
Supporters TPI Posted November 20, 2011 Supporters Posted November 20, 2011 Yea never played in fog but its defo something i want to do
Supporters Nutster Posted November 20, 2011 Supporters Posted November 20, 2011 Played at urban assault in the fog, could barely see from one side of parade ground to the other
Nickona Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 i imagine its like playing with one massive smoke grenade going all day
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted November 21, 2011 Supporters Posted November 21, 2011 I always wanted to play well lit, outdoor CQB at night, in an abandoned factory complex type place, whilst it's raining. I think it'd be an awesome skill and nerves test, rain hitting lots of metal structures would make it hard to hear people, then there's low visibility and close range encounters to test reflexes. I think it'd be awesome. Does anyone else ever go anywhere, like school/Uni/work and just walk around thinking, "God damn this would be an awesome place for airsofting!" Or is that just me? xD

joshcowin Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 ive played in fog and snow and i must say never again using lights in the daylight to see where you going then seeing a enemy going prone then realising theres now 3 inches of snow down your top :s
Nex Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I played in super foggy conditions at a night game once. It was in the middle of a storm and the fog set in reducing visibility to about 10ft. After we left the game, the fog was so bad that we actually got stuck in a muddy road. The vehicle was towed out in the morning.

Supporters Liam Porter Posted November 21, 2011 Author Supporters Posted November 21, 2011 Last I played in snow, I spent half the day squelching with a freezing cold foot..
Counting Count Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 nice and foggy, about 10 am on Sunday Morning from the rough location of the camera to the two staff in Hi vis bely / vest in the background is around the 55m mark About 13:30 Visibility ranged from 20- 100m depending on your location and equipment, using telescopic sights in the afternoon was not very comfortable (actual condensate on the lenses from either the fog or breath), as well as motivating players was a nightmare. Why do they complain about mud I don't know, if its that bad bring a change of trousers for the ride home.
REMSoft Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Played woodland on Sunday, very very foggy. My shotgun came in pretty handy as I'm an awful lot more likely to hit a spontaneously appearing target with a shotgun than an AEG. Pretty handy when you see a bulbous (burger-eating...) Noob appear in the fog when he hasn't noticed you. A barrel appearing would have been his first clue, but no, a bang kill (Which he didn't take) resulted in him jumping backwards and trying to get away. 5 BBs later to his builder's behind, and he wasn't standing straight for the rest of the day...

Great day was had, loved it. Clocked -4 degrees at one point. To quote Rick - "It's like real-life has a draw distance! It's like I'm in a 90's PS2 FPS!" Very useful for me actually - meant that everyone was reduced to my normal short-range vision. One tip - don't wear (black) tinted goggles. Made the conditions far harder to see in...
Supporters Liam Porter Posted November 21, 2011 Author Supporters Posted November 21, 2011 Counting Count, what site is that?
Nickona Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Ucap sandpit I think we've got to go there during the summer!
Counting Count Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Marksman your incorrect, its actually Cerberus Sandpit, and its been operational as a ground since April 2010, OK its not huge, but its not dahn sath neither...
Counting Count Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 West Yorkshire, its only about 80 acres of actually playable area with it being a working quarry in an urban environment (you gotta love the industrial areas of the country for that). I doubt if there will be any more games this year, the final before Xmas is at "The Complex" on the 18th December. In the winter is cold, wet and very muddy, in the summer its warm, dry and very dusty, its not a place to play if you don't want to get dirty or work hard for the locations as it ain't flat in the locations where there is cover, and we don't have control over what is where either.
