Once again,

I hate night.  I flew at night in AH1 and either logged or adjusted my video gamma. Adjusting your video gamma, for those unaware, removes the effect of night but distorts some of the colors.  

I have been working on becoming more of a bomber pilot, but why would I want to fly at night?  It's not like radar can't detect you?  Your Icon is just as glowing and its hard to see the target.  Is it the moon and the stars what you guys are getting wood about?  Is there some lunacy going on?

Maybe if I understood the reason for night I would change my mind.  I have yet to see a good reason for night.  Is the reason because it looks cool?    Is this like an "Apple Jack's" commercial where some adults just don't get it?

I am also someone who likes good weather.  Snowy, rainy, and dark overcast days do nothing for me.   Although a snow covered landscape would be ok.  It's good to have somewhere the sun is always shining and the weather is nice.   Why have night when you can have perpetual daytime?   What would night add to the game?

I have previously cancelled my subscription to AH because of night.  I have a limited time budget.  When I log on and its night, that's when I either have to readjust the settings on my video card (temporarily) or just not play.  If I can't play, I won't pay.

Not to sound too absolute and rigid, since the training and dueling arenas are available, there are places that people like me can go while you guys play in the dark.


Regards,

Malta

people who 'wont' fly at night, or adjust their gamma so they can cheat are not ever going to let us have night back.

they suck.


they are scared of the dark maybe?


kinda pathetic if you ask me.

the only guys who dont want night are the ones who only fly a few hours a tour. obviously if they log in for their one hour a week of flying and its dark for 30 mins i can understand it might be frustrating.


but tuff chit.

I can't let a night vote go by.

Ok, perfect night solution to follow:

Make "night" a altered form of "dusk".

You know those summer nights when it is dark and you can see stars above you, but there is a good amount of light on the horizon.

From the games viewpoint, anything from the horizon to ~ 40 degrees above is in a soft sunset light and anything above is a starry night.

Fighters/gvs could still fight in the twilight while buffs flying above could use night for cover.

What a comprimise!

Ok rip it to shreds with various witty doomsday scenarios...
