With the increased gunnery and awesome firepower of 1.05, restoring nighttime would be an incredible visual rush....the horizon lighting up with heavy guns bombarding the shoreline, etc.
Remember the old Victory at Sea films?
The seige of Berlin?
There is a much broader user base now in 1.05 with the fleet, the PT boats, the armour, etc.
It is time to restore night....if only for a few minutes per cycle.
