Petition for Night, weather, wind

[DaddyAck]

I am drafting this petition for the purpose of getting HTC to add back in the night time hours and weather patterns into the main arena.  

It does get tedious seeing nothing but perpetual blue skies, and an anomalous one minute it is sunset then a second later, oh look its now sunrise?!?!  

It is in my opinion that the game would be better with weather, wind, and a cycleing of day and night would be more fun to play in.  Night time bomber missions would be especially fun

If you feel the same please respond to this and help get our realizm back.

Was up the day before Xmas when HT came in, fired up the bottle rocket sleigh, and killed the lights. That brief half hour or so of night was a highlight of AH2. I upped a 110 (the black skin) and shot some lancs down. Very enjoyable. No marauding packs of 51s and Typhs at 38K alt. Just me and those bombers. (and HT in that abomination he called a sleigh. Oh, and a bunch of guys who started squealing like stuck pigs the moment it got dark [I mean, literally, the very moment it got dark]). Fun stuff.

Bring back night, and add some weather or at least overcast conditions. Flying into the sun taking off and flying back into it when landing does suck. Please. Maybe the cure for what ails gameplay is night. It'd certainly suck the momentum out of the horde (I think).

What if day/night proceeded across the map?  Is that possible?  This way it may well be night on the west side for example but morning on the east. Kinda like compressing the 24 hours of the globe down a bit.  See what I'm saying?  maybe 8 hours difference between one side of the map and the other...

That and weather fronts moving across the map would add a lot to the game.

You could avoid weather by upping from other locations so that would cut down on the whines.

heh kinda like that idear.

Glad to see I am not the only one whoom thinks that the posibilities of using Lanc's at night (historically correct) and having them intercepted by night fighting 110's (also historically correct) would be great fun.   Also I beleave that adding back in night and weather would stem the tide of LALA weenies

[Furious]

Yeah, HT should do whatever he can to reduce the amount of combat in the MA.

What makes you think it will reduce combat?

[sullie363]

It didn't limit combat, it changed it.  People would plan missions to take advantage of the night, especially gv missions.

I would like to see solid clouds, instead of these multiple layers of 2D clouds.  Our current clouds look cool from a distance, I would just like them to be like AH1 where you could be surrounded by them.  And when you're in the cloud, your icon would disapper and you could only be seen at very close range.

[Klum25th]

Oh those AH1 clouds were the best. I fly threw them straight on the next i know lol im flying towards earth. 1 eye off the instruments and your dead. I LOVE THOSE CLOUDS. Bring them back.

[Wolf14]

hehehe

Imagine flying through the clouds.....whiles its dark.....and straight into a mountain.

I can just hear the squeals now.

not trying to dis the wonderful AH1 cloud density or the night time. I like them both.

[DaddyAck]

I think all of that would add infinate amusement to the game,  It would be nice to see some more stratagy and actual combat instead of steady streams of lalas and nikies that swarm the map bragging about how they can vulch an easy kill in perfect sunny unclouded weather   Oh yes the squeals indeed

[101ABN]

would like to have the night back, good for the Lancs.  Some adverse weather would be cool too.  Rain would probably be a pain to program but some winds and fog would be a welcome sight.

[CMC Airboss]

Yes on all three   - Night, Weather, and Wind.
