Heh.  Certainly it's one of them.  In which case, how come so many people want to reduce the reality?

The perfect Summer day, EVERY day AH2 reality, or reality reality?

Bring on the whole package -
Bad days
Fog
Mist
Rain
Clouds
Storm fronts

I agree, bring it all.

Everyone says the MA is for arcadey style play, but to me that's the dueling arena. There are so many different things that happen in the MA with missions, base taking, GV battles, there will always be a lot of action whether it's night, high noon, foggy, rainy, whatever. I'd love to dogfight through a fog bank twisting and turning just catching glimpses of my enemy. Brings  a whole new dynamic to the game.

I would say give it a shot for a tour and see what happens. There's always going to be different opinions on the forums, and this is such a small percentage of AH players.

The real measure of if something is working is how many are in the MA at a given time. I wonder if HTC tracks that with a log?

Bring us weather and a 24 hour clock!:aok

Why doesn't HTC make it so every target gets a big yellow circle around it so we can't miss it?  I mean, c'mon.  I don't want to have to work to try to see targets.  Besides, everybody knows that in WWII, the guy who won the dogfight was the guy who had the better headon technique, not the guy who spotted the other guy first.

I've decided that from now on, anytime I log on and it is not night, dawn or dusk, I am going to log off.

Well, honestly I hope in Combat Tour they will model the Force. That way the game will be more enjoyable for a level 25 Jedi like me.

I would love to see some form of a "night" time. In the picture of previous post of the Santa & raindeer the night and moon are done very nicely. I believe it might add a new dynamic to the game.

Just my 2 cents

I say get rid of the Sun all together, but still have it light.  It is so anoying to look at it, and it screws up my shots.

While your at it, get rid of the G thing.  When I pull hard on the joystick, I keep blacking out and this makes it hard for me to shoot down people.

Oh yeah, what's this thing about crashing when you hit the ground.  In MSFS I can set it up to bounce off the ground.  This would be much better because I wouldn't crash all the time.

PS, unlimited ammo would be nice too
