There aren't any nightfighters in the game. How about we stop night until there are?

Esme, good to see ya bouncing around. You still have the Amiga up and running ??

Took up the 'Richthofen' moniker over the hill for a trial. I think I'm the only one flying at this point in time.

Haven't flown a 190 in 2 years..

I am a student of the fur. I suck, but it sure is a blast. Lotta animals in the fur.

Without the fur over there, my time may be quite short. SA overload makes the juices flow.

Flying from a perch no longer fuels the fire.

The lady of 'Richthofen"

Because despite the best efforts of some people, or groups of people in this game, we still have bombers. And bombing was done at night.

By the RAF. Against specifically designed/modified night fighters.

We've got the Lanc, an actual RAF night bomber and no nightfighters.

Pretty pointless right now, IMO. Certainly not worthy of a minute of US Prime Time. Like it or not that's when the majority plays.

Erm... there were B17 night bombing raids of German targets. Probably not much call for bombers operated from the continental US.

Toad · « **Reply #50 on:** December 21, 2003, 01:54:38 PM »

Yeah. However, the predominant US heavy bombing strategy was daytime bombing.

And your tidbit still doesn't address the total lack of nightfighters in the AH hangar.

We won't even go into how bogus a "night" we really have in AH, although it's been alluded to in this thread.

It's really only considered a "skill" among those of advancing age, but I agree, night sucks.

wtg EsmeNhaMaire i agree with you

i think if you wanted to make night fighters useful this is how to do it

turn down icons to 3k on the day fighters

and the nightfighters get 6k

but if you realy wanted to have fun put a real life like ww2 radar in the cockpit showing the radar bands and everthing

It serves little purpose except to annoy the majority of the folks in the MA... get rid of it.

Night is still a nice change of pace. Keep it!

Night is ok, the hours around midnight give more moonlight, instead of those just before dawn and just after dusk.

The orange stuff makes your eyes swim.

Additionally, we don't have "night fighters". We have a few of the day VRF fighters that were hastily pressed into service until night fighters were readied, but those didn't do much in "real life flying".

Night sux.

What do u think the 110 was avtually for? "night fighter" hello anybody home?

LAWCobra · « **Reply #58 on:** March 11, 2004, 12:57:15 AM »

Why cant we post missions at night?

I enjoy the Night,,however...
A couple less night cycles per day or shorter period of Night would be welcome
