What happens:
I'm not sure if this should be reported as bug or suggestion. I have been wondering what for are those night vision/infra red glasses, because during night I can see enemies across whole map if no objects obscure view. There is also that alien (Taman) with should have some natural night vision capabilities, but I'm not sure how those are put to any use. Maybe thats why they often try to fire thru walls?
I'll attach ufoconsole.log later when I play again.

How to reproduce:
Any mission during night, preferably on large - open spaced - map.

With infra goggles you can detect body heat through walls.
About night/day visibility, it's a missing feature: http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Gameplay_Proposals/Visibility

Where the bug is here?
