While Syrians are at a disadvantage in real life, night fighting just twists the knife. One of the few counters to US superiority in night fighting technology would be flares and other forms of illumination. Instead, CMSF doesn't allow for artificial illumination. The Syrians now cannot only not use flares to to expose US troop movements, but they can't use flares to blind US passive night vision.
In WW2, not as big an issue because all sides are limited. But in modern combat, it really limits any lower tech side ability to counter non-TI night vision. I started thinking about this in some of the sighting tests I have been doing.
