Can we have night back?

Why don't you guys just turn down YOUR gamma? Then you can have as much night as you want.

Enjoy, and no charge for the suggestion.

The moonlight reflecting off the aluminum is pretty cool.

But it won't play good.

So, it might look kinda neat, but still no thanks.

bottoms to you anti night whiners!

you want a realistic sim, yet you deny the realism that is offered.

night time was a very important aspect of WW2 air combat.

but hey, lets just all keep flying our silly little planes at each other and to hell with realism :aok

Yes on a realistic physical model.  No on "realistic" war.

yeah, well you could try and argue the same point with me and i could come up with these simple answers you have given me. But you do not explain why you dont want night, you have just made similarities between other, tedious aspects of WW2 combat flying

night time was great fun, always for me.

just my view i suppose.

seems a shame that so many of you are just too scared to fly at night :p

Yeah, well, you had mentioned that night was "an important part of WW2", and I was mentioning that the importance of the thing in the real war is not a criteria by which a feature should be included.  There's lots of RL things that are not here and should not be here.

Why?  You can't see anything.  If that's fun for you, as Toad says you should turn the gamma down on your monitor.  Or turn your monitor off.  Win-win, right?  If we had searchlights and radar-equipped planes, then maybe this would be interesting...but as it is, it is like building a solar-powered submarine.

Scared...no.  Pointless, yes.  Are you "scared" of turning off your monitor while you play?

I got with the night time, though I do not fly MA or anything like that (only h2h) night raids sound much more exciting (done a couple of Lancaster raids myself)


..I mean, what good is a lancaster (except for heavy payload) if there's no night? It is a night bomber...

A night fighter is more than a paint job.

BTW, I tried turning the gamma down just to see what it was like, it didn't work.

Night fights were fun, over CVs, with all acs shooting, was like fireworks party. In AH1 we had night at 5pm and 10PM, those hours have maximum players #s, that's why many players were upset.  My vote yes, but if we don't want complais , not at hot hours with max, players#s.
