With everyone jacking their gamma, there really was no night, well at least not in the universally/equally handicapped sense. The dusk/dawn thing we have now is good enough, you still can't see very well, but WW2 planes did do alot of dusk/dawn missions so it's not as totally unrealsitic as our day fighters flying at night was before.

Night flying in my P-51D ruled on AH, even though I rarely lasted longer than 10 minutes.

Now that I play regularly, I'm quite confident that I can last much, much longer than that at night.

The Dusk/dawn thing is a very fitting compromise.
Thinking about the (Ground Clutter permanently on now)
the Noe's would certianly consume a lota AC in the trees. heheh
Im not sure how Night time made NOEs any better. Most NOEs i fly rarely get jumped enroute. They usally get jumped after we rise above dar.

I really miss the night.  As soon as dusk came you had a great opportunity for Bomber runs, Gv attacks, safer Goon flights etc.

I wasn't here (account active) when they changed it else, I woulda MOANED just as load as those that didn't like night time.  I mean for Christ sake night time lasted less than 1 hr.  2hrs if including all of dusk dawn.

I tried to help those that just couldn't see at all.  Either I was terrible at explaining how to set Gamma or folk were just to Piggin Lazy or Dumb to fix it.  Now everyone has a GAMMA slider in settup / Video.   It ain't bleedin Rocket science.

I would like to see night fully restored But, HTC, why not a compromise.  Bring night back but for a shorter period.  The furballers can still "click, fly, die".  Once they realise night ain't the big deal they once thought it was perhaps fully restore night.

Fugg'em :D



In all seriousness I loved night fighting but realize that it'll be a while if evar before it comes back. I started the post more as a response to all the Bish numbers sux/punish the Rooks posts.  :(


No really fugg'em the bish have collectively failed to cash in on plenty of opportunities in the MA.

Hey we're outnumbered. Then again I've been getting 8 perkies per kill. :)

I'm sick of the whining. And frankly being this badly outnumbered doesn't bother me. We destroyed A41 around 9:30pm EST yesterday only to watch a vulchfest ensue where no one kept the base porked and some moron ran the carrier right up to the unsupressed base.  The word "dumbplows" kept repeating in my head.

My biatch is done. Carry on.
