Binoculars?

This is what I noticed, though I'm not absolutely sure.

On one of the night missions, I could see the red dots on the minimap, but it was dark and my soldiers weren't shooting at the enemy. When a flare gun was fired, it lighted up the sky and the soldiers automatically started shooting at the enemy. Presuming because they can now see them.

I noticed when I used an officer and used the bino, the soldiers started shooting again although there was no flare. So I'm presuming that the bino extends your troops visibility. I've also read that its best to place officers at the front to spot for troops.

This is just my observation though. F9? Didn't even know it existed...

This is what is mentioned in the manual about binoculars.
