which in a way is good so now you can use artistic license, these guys are definitely on or were on the Russian front, it looks like they have picked up some tips from the Russians who would use searchlights on their tanks during night assaults....

No that is just search lights when you think of it its a good idea the infrared that the panthers had is more like this on the capola.
