seeing through the fog on BF1
Can anyone tell me how some can see through the fog on the new BF1 game? I just don't get it? I cannot see anymore than a few meters, but seemingly Im getting shot and killed at tremendous ranges wit...

As someone who is flying in the fog himself, I can actually say that getting kills from it is not that impossible - usually it simply forces me to either fly at about 15m (which is enough to see targets in advance; fog blocks your horizontal vision way more than vertical/diagonal vision below certain altitude) or do the blind bombing. If I see the flag area blinking, I will be more than happy to send some bombs that way without actually seeing the target. If I'm in certain plane types, I will also drop spot flares, which show nearby enemies on the minimap long enough for me to make a turn and bomb the living hell out of them.
About snipers, the thing is, I suspect that a certain quirk from BF4 found its way into Battlefield 1 - in BF4, smoke becomes more see-through when you look at it through something with magnifying power (like a scope). I suspect that it's the same with fog in BF1.
I don't think this is the case. I actually tried with high magnification and even marksman rifles and no go. Although I've got a POS 4K TV. And it's too small. Although because of the fact I am running in HDR it does seem to cut through a little bit. So maybe perhaps when I get my new TV which I'm planning on either the LG 65SJ9500 or LG C7P I'll get back with you on that one. Because both of those models Peak a lot brighter and have better colors and much higher contrast than my current TV. The SJ8500 with local dimming has 400:1 contrast higher than my TV. So my theory is between a very large size and good quality HDR and color approaching Rec 2020 would probably be enough to cut through the fog also higher contrast ratios might be helpful.
