Night

[toadkill]

i know its much asked for but im picketting nonetheless. i have the 1st amandment right to:p

re-add night for like 30-minutes . and add fighters with night radar. and give them some advantage over non-dar equiped planes. not ike a "shoot here to kill plane" circle maybe a blip on thier"HUD" (canapy) every so often to simulate the sweep of the dar. this would give us a reason to fly those much loved and o-so lovable p-38s, 110s and mossie. for reasons other than ground attack. sure they all have big guns in a dogfight, but they have mediocre performance(beaucse they are big) none of those will out turn the fighter planes, thus making turning just something to prolong you demise. and none of these planes are fast enough to out run the most commonly flied planes(la7 p51 109 190). right now these planes would be used in large numbers and in dogfights would only "cherry pick" or HO(because of alot of firepower). now i have talked to many who played aces high when night was present. they said that it was hte most fun part of the game. who wouldnt love the thrill of flying along in the dead of night and all of a sudden seeing tracer shells go hurdling over your canapy. its would be so thrilling.

i realize that this is a nil-rated post, but nothing gets done w/o the pickett man.

P.S. i know, people who didnt like night would just turn up the gamma to a rating of like 500000000000000000000 so it was like day. i know not of a way to prevent that.

Mediocre Performance?


I think the 7 people I shot down in 2 sorties with a 110 would not think that the 110 performs only half decently.

im for it, i like the night realy. would be nice if we get it back.
i wisch we had a oficial vote for it. we dont need 30min. i would be lucky with 10-15min. it is so nice the big moon and the stars and the fire in the night :-).
we can rise the icon range for the nightfigters at night and the others get a lower range for the icons. This i gues is easy to do. we have alot of fun. Sure many say it is to dark to furball but the night keeps many abilitys of fun i think.

OOHH, Pleazz, can we have one of these???


F82G Twin Mustang Nightfighter



but I can answer myself NO because it was never used in WWII  :-(

We don't really even need full dark.  It would be nice if HTC went back to what they used to do.  It would gradually get light from total darkness.  The virutal day would pass and then it would fade to complete darkness.  It did not last that long, but made for some interesting times, IMO.

Take a base right before sunset and you get a few minutes to reorg and regroup before sunrise.

NOE missions get to use the darkness and semidarkness are part of their tactics.

Helped to create small natural pauses.

That said, I know the guys that don't have a lot of time to fly in the course of a day don't like night.  However, if the time was kept low enough (like I said, the time to go to full darkness and the time to get light again), the impact would be minor.

All in all, I'd like to see at least some portion of night come back to the game.

Toadkill, the 2 La7's and 2 La5's would disagree with you.

Wasn't it stopped because to many people logged or just sat in tower till night was gone? I think it was do to ppl complaining that got it stopped in the 1st place. I think I'd like it though so I'm all for it.

[Blammo]

If I remember right, night used to last like 30 minutes.  It went dark and stayed dark for a while.  I can understand why some poeple wouldn't like that.  However, it never stopped me and I ran into a lot of action during night.

Like I said, if you just had it run from complete fade in to complete fade out, that would give everyone what they wanted, for the most part.

Endless day just get's boring.

People would just turn the gamma up to circumvent the intent of the game and put themselves at an advantage over those who played game as presented.

That said I would like to see it for a half hour or so.

How about we have night once a week.  Sunday morning from 7-7:15 am.
