I'm all for the lighting.
Look, I readily concede the lightbulb soldiers were practical. They were also just plain frickin' stoopid!

And ugly. AND immersion busting.

If you children really MUST have your lightbulb men, so be it. All I'm arguing for is an option to turn the lightbulb men OFF, just like the green arrows, so that hardcore realism buffs like me can also have their druthers.
