My point is players from each side will argue why the other side's troops are op or unrealistic. It is reasonable to have the rangers be invisible because (as a player who uses them it find this very annoying) if the orc gets within a 3 block range the ranger will activate its melee mode. This is realistic because their cloaks are green and if they are shooting in the grass (laying down) they would be almost invisible at night and hard to see in the day. On top of this their low armor and damage output, means the only reason they are a good troop is because of this ability, without it they would be a gundabad orc archer, which from the books is definitely not the case.

Except:

1. They can camo even without anything green

2. "...but I cannot disappear entirely" -Aragorn, greatest of the Rangers

3. Olog-hai aren't bad unless you're fighting them in a perfectly flat field. They still need realism fixes, but rangers are far more egregious. Create a superflat world and spawn twenty Olog-hai. Then spawn a single ranger. If you have the patience to watch, the Ranger will kill all of the Olog-hai, invisible, without the Ologs even reacting. Absolutely absurd.
