you think it'll be permanent?  perhaps this is a sign AH2 is getting close to being released (not AH2-TOD, tho) - at which point all the timid moonlighters will get back their beloved cloak of darkness.

plenty of buffs to be seen...  if buffers want their moment of glory, they should arrange escort and stuff....  i rarely, if ever see, "proper" missions in the MA.  a hodgepodge of planes and a  pigpile to a base under the aegis of yellow icons is not a "proper" mission.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

It a huge sadness for me to see night go away ...

It was great helper to sneak into an enemy base and reduce their fuel to 25% and then to laught at all those fuel-less furballer.



:p :p


It's a joke , I'm pretty pissed when I see only 25 % availlable on a base :)

i remember knights doing this alot...the 68ths and maws made good bomber missions... although most of the people couldnt keep formation with them so youd have a spread out line....

Bish on the other hand...well theres probably about 2 missions a week, they are normaly something like 50x p51ds to suicide some fuel somewhere :(

saying that, some squad about a month ago, made some b17 mission and there was about 30 of us, plus 15 or so p51 escorts...took out 3 bases hangers then they took them to the deck over the 4th to vulch upping planes...:rofl

Indeed. A creeping process to make the game more furballcentric by stealth, and to phase out buffs.


And the BS is flyn, time to get the boots back out.  Just when the air was starting to smell good again too lolh.

As the majority of people have stated, night is stupid to have when  A)  People just turn up their gamma which is stupid.  If your gonna have night they need to disallow this, which I don't see being easy.  B)  Add some night fighters.  C) Add search lights.  d) You cant plan missions during night.

With the ICONs you aren't hideing crap so the "we need night to hide our buffs" is BS cause you aren't hiding.

But you are doing well to keep the whine going on that side of the fence:rofl

Yeah Muck et-al used to run buff missions all the time, they were a blast, but not too many, if any, at night.  And night didn't hide buffs or fighters anyway since we hace icons.

a few times me and a mate would up lancs about 30minutes from sun down, so at "midnight" we would be over the target...

and I think it's wrong for their wishes to be dismissed out of hand.


But it's ok to dismiss the wishes of those that hate night?

Beet, I got my answer... Bahahahahah!!!!

The wishes of those who hated night were NOT being dismissed. Night only accounted for a minority of the time. Most of the time it was broad daylight.

And... like I said, it makes no difference to me personally. :aok

Sure they were, night was short but the twilight and early dawn were nearly unplayable as well.  Many people who  would only have a short while to play would log on to find the aberration we call night in place.  Thus they would log in despair.  Beet, I got my answer and the shoe is on the other foot.  Yeah baby!

The broblem was that that was the one hour I had to play.  Sory if I don't want to play it in the dark or mess with my screen settings.  Night is kind of pointless while dar and icons are up.  All it does is mess with your aim.  If you want night back, lose the icons also until D500 and the black dod thats visible from 10K or more out.
