We have no night, therefore we can fairly easily determine what HT's position on night is.

There might be about 5000 people that play the game, but not all look at the forums. Fewer post frequently. So then out of that bunch, you need to pluck out the ones who don't care either way towards the issue of night.

So far it seems that the majority of those willing to post in this thread want night time back to a certain degree.

And this is a perfect example of why we need polls. Off topic I know, but sometimes I want to just look at charts.

So pick a night, ask to use the special events arena, and set up, for example, 'The Nuremberg Raid" of March 30, 1944.

Night ops, with 110s, Wild Sau 190s and 109s for the LW.

Lancs and Intruder Mossies for the RAF.

See how many people show up to fly at night.

Radar enabled to let folks get in the vicinity of the bad guys, but obviously it doesn't give altitude.

Who knows, the reaction to it might tell us a lot

Well I want night back but I wouldn't participate in a scenerio to test out the idea simply because I don't like scenerios. Something about flying around for couple hours not really doing anything.

Our faction rules.

We had night once, a long time ago.
Everyone, hated it.
(ok, almost everyone)
So, the night went away.

Take my word for it.

Or, just log off for the hour of night and play "try to kick myself in the prettythang" waiting for the sun to come up.

Just saw a black P-38 (J?) in the hangar today. Why would we have black p-38 if there were not going to be a use for it?
On the other hand, I've also seen what appears to be a pink spit, and a polka-dotted ME-109 - and I don't know what good those are either.....

What is the point of requesting night? Wouldn't asking for no dar bar, radar, or icons suit the same purpose? That way you can keep the current weather system and get the same result!

1.) You can't tell where the enemy is.

2.) Once you get close, there is the thrill of killshooter!

3.) You stand a better chance of hiding when you disengage.

4.) Perk planes can be flown with no concerns of ganging! Note that this a bit dated with the updated icon system.

5.) It can be called 'realistic' (note that this is not the same as historic).

What fun! Of course, I won't be doing any of this. Afterall, I hate night.

Malta

Maybe they should implement night time above 10,000 feet. Then all the La-7s and P-51s can continue their furballing. Bombers could have their night time missions and the addition of a few specialized night fighers could make it interesting.

I would like to see a 30 minute night or so, but would REALLY love to get rid of the BS sun glare that is around for most of the time I am playing. I would think that having it for 10 or 15 minutes after sunrise would be enough... Weather would be even better than night if we could get it! I would also like to see snowy and desert terrian on some of the existing maps for a change of pace...

When you see a black P-38M two-seater, then you'd be looking
at the nightfighter.

I just plain don't like night time

Apearently, there are those that woul like to see it again. It would be awesome and would leave room for the adition of night fighters.

Gotta hand it to you for your persistence but night does suck.

Have you ever played this game during the "night" ? ... offline does not count.

Ahhh, nightttime in AH. How peaceful the MA was, when everyone landed and logged for an hour.

I like the concept of nighttime. You may imagine a night mission to be romantic, but actually flying it stinks. Night cannot be implemented properly in the MA.
