Can we have night back?
« on: September 08, 2004, 06:00:24 PM »
I thoroughly enjoy flying during the night time and frankly couldn't give a **** if other people turn up their gamma.  If that's what they have fun doing, go right ahead.

But for me it's exciting not being able to see well.  Plus I think it will look awesome in AH2.

Id like to see night come back, I could care less about the gamma dweebs either. If they need to abuse the game let em. And the flaming of this thread will soon begin.

I'm on this bus.  I'd love to have night back.. Especially if someone will make an olive drab B17 skin instead of these darn Aluminum ones!

night is better than the 2 hour "sunset / sunrise"

i wonder... IRL how many times were attacks / fights planned or happen during the crack of dawn or evening?

if you were to schedule an attack and wanted it to happe in the dark, i could see possibly taking off near sunset, but not being anywhere NEAR enagement with the sun up still.

same with morning, who would take off at 3 AM to attack at dawn and have that sun interferring with the mission possibly?


i could be way off, but were there really raids (in only aircraft NOT support of ground troops) that were intended to commence at dusk / dawn?
I don't know what to put here yet.

How about a compromise - just like in the artic circle - 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night time...... didn't think so.
6 months of daylight 6 months of day&night?

I'd love to have night back.  I loved being able to use the hard to see terrain to my advantage, except for the gamma dweebs, but I dont mind that.

I don't mind gamma dweebs. In fact, I was a lot better at night than in the day.

Bring back night, damnit!

howabout every 2 hours, 30min of night.


I'd agree with the night thing as long as the effects were great.

(AKA, engine exhaust visible when it'd hot, light effects, etc etc etc.)
