Might be the minority of those here on these forums, but by far there are more of us in the arenas that perhaps do not ever visit the forums.

Yes, there are thousands that do not post on the forums. However, why would you think they want night back? Remember, a lot of them actually did play back-in-the-day when we had night. One would think that if they all missed it so much, they'd let us know. I wouldn't mind night, given certain factors or adjustments. However, having said that, those things would require a great deal of recoding/tweaking, and its obviously not worth the effort to satisfy just a handful out of 5,000 customers. You can keep posting til you go blind or die of old age, but recalling the glory of a feature you never saw isn't making your position any more convincing. Give it up chief.

He may not have seen it, but i did.
and I still would like to see it back.
The thing that amezes me the most is that you folks dont want to compromise with the rest. We also pay the 15 bucks a month so why not have those features in the game?

Im sure as some have stated, night is not for every one....
none the less this is a flight sim and even Microsoft flight sim has night.............. And if you havent flown at in the Microsoft flight simulator you probably dont know that you can see perty well at night...

It's really sad that the complainers rule the game...No matter what HTC does somebody hates it....

HTC had it correct in AH1 ....it went all the way to night for about 5min ...then sunrise ..this was the perfect balence ..just enuff night for nightime operations...yet its brief enuff to keep the furballers happy ...It's shame when you realise that new players have never seen the moon rise... it is truely lovely

I VOTE:

YES!!...Weather
YES!! ...Night
and a HUGE YES! ...to any improvment HTC wishes to make!!

....Take that MA whiners!!

Dont understand why 1 map in rotation couldnt have night. Then see how well it is accepted.

To me AH2 Night looks much better than AH1. Maybe we will see the aircraft better and have more success. Who knows it really has never been tried in the MA...Since AH2 release.

I have over 20 guys in my squad, and only one dislikes nightime. The rest would like to see it back. If nothing else bring it back as a test.

I used to not care whether it was night or not, but I have
come to the conclusion that night wouldn't be so bad for two
reasons.

One, I could avoid having my eyes burned out by that
supernova thing on the horizon during dawn/dusk

Two, it would give me a good excuse for asking for the He-219
and P-61. What the heck, maybe HTC would like a break from
the TOD thing for a little while

I understand your point about compromise, DaddyAck, but 1/2 hour is worse than nothing. You can heardly get up and find a target, especially in a buff mission, in a half hour.

So you end up with all the disadvantages and none of the advantages of night.

And unless dot radar were eliminated and gamma cheats dealth with, the lack of visibility would be pointless. The MA is supposed to be for fun, with realistically modelled flight sim aircraft. It's not a recreation of WW2 combat conditions, missions, risks, or environments.

Actually I, along with many others, played "back in the day (LOL)". Guess what? It didn't really bother us one way or the other. We came to fly so we did. Those few who coudn't deal with learning how to fly and fight in the dark, left for an hour or two. Most of us considered it their loss, if we even considered it at all. You asked the question why do you think why the 5000 would want night back. A same question can be asked, why not?

As far as the 5000 subscribers I gather you never learned that in any society there are the masses who go out and get the job done not matter what goes on. And there are those 10% who could never be happy with anything anyone does or suggests. If you take a close look there are those few who makes suggestions about game play then get off the boards. There are the masses who go fly and never say a word and there are the few that spend all their time on the BBS telling everyone who bothers to read their trash that the game should be played their way. And it doesn't matter to them that the majority thinks differently. They don't even have a clue as to what the majority thinks but they only care that what they say should be gospel. Since they normally get squelched in the arenas this is the only outlet for those 10%.

Take a close look at the BB's you will see those few names who ask questions or make suggestions about the game. Then you will see those 10% who's names appear over and over who always whine that their way should be followed. They are very easy to spot.

I too flew "back in the day". Night sucked then and it would still suck now.

What people don't realize is that HT decided to switch the whine to "the other side of the fence". No other reason except for that and maybe he did realize that the way night time was implemented really just wasn't cutting it.

If and when he does switch it back, I believe that it won't be the same night that we had before ... it will be better and with that, hopefully more engaging than flying around with one's eyes closed.

With the development of TOD, I can see that HT would need to implement night operations. Out of that development, I can see some of it coming back to the MA ... possibly.

Then you will see those 10% who's names appear over and over who always whine that their way should be followed. They are very easy to spot.

And then there are those who are pompopus and suffer diarrhea of the mouth along with constipation of thought ... they are easy to spot too.

LOL ... you are way too easy Ren.

Please show me where I have ever whined that "my way" should be followed.

Am I not allowed to voice my opinion in this thread like everybody else ? ... or has the ever pompous and all-knowing Ren been given the position to say who can and who can't post.

Anybody who has read your posts as of late will know that this shoe ...

And then there are those who are pompopus and suffer diarrhea of the mouth along with constipation of thought ... they are easy to spot too.

LOL, Did I ever say you? It seems you responded as one of the 10% without my ever mentioning your name. Doh!

Anybody who has read your posts as of late will know.... exactly what I'm talking about.

I've said what I wanted to say, you've come forward to prove I'm right. Thank you.
