Nights and Tunnels
« on: August 20, 2006, 05:43:47 PM »
i know this has been brought up before, at least some of it however im gonna bring it up....again :D

First off, Night. id like to have it reimplemented. MAinly for the immersion value of it. i always liked nighttime raids. True you can crank up your gamma on your end but, as i said its for the immersion aspect of the game.
Low level nighttime bomber runs, dogfights where u could barley see the con, it all kicked it up a notch IMNSHO.
Im no programmer but, i was wondering if there was a way to limit or even disable some of the gamma control when we are in a nighttime state?
the old night didnt last very long and I dont think it would "kill" everybody to have a 15 min night as apposed to the dusk/dawn we have now.

2ND is what happened to the tunnels? I used to LOVE the tunnels for gv battles!
I can understand on the newer maps how it may be difficult adding them however, the older maps had them and personally I jwould like them back. I have spoken ingame with many GV'rs both part timers and hardcore and the consesus is we would like them back.

I remember a comment HT said ...awhile back about reinstating night and also stuff like searchlites, that would be sooooooo cool.

Just wondering if maybe HT or pyro could comment on these issues and we could have a discussion about it, kinda like we did back in the good ol' days

Was never a fan of night, and as I recall about 75% of the players parked there birds and would go eat or something till the morning rolled back around. Very few players flew at night in my experiance.

As for the tunnels that would be nice to have. I would also like to see them get rid of the GV icons so that Enemy planes can not see them like it is for enemy GVs. (I realize it's this way for nme GVs now so they can't range them as easy) It sucks to try and sneak to a base when you have this Huge Icon screaming at the planes above to Bomb Here. I don't do a lot of GVing, mostly up them to kill vulchers. I know I will get frustrated trying to find LTARS. But to me it would make game play a lot better in this area of the game.

Icon is set to 1.5 , and since monitor is a poor substitute for what the eye can pick up... it's a good compromise.

As jumpy the ack is while picking targets, the searchlights would look like hyperactive-seizing-speeding alien fingers twitching nervously throughout the sky

Night (as much as I want it) wont work in the MA.

PPl will just up their Gamma (You need gamma adjustment for some monitors and Unless I am mistaken ya cant avoid it).

Sorry but I gotta disagree with ya there hondo, Back when we had night, true some players didnt like it and would take a break BuT, there were still alot of guys who did like it. As I stated mostly for the immersion aspect of the game.
And if i recall from what HT said regarding the searchlites, they werent hooked up to the ack guns they were seperate. as IRL they would scan the sky for taqrgets. I dont know if HT can code them to "lock on" a plane but just the "look" of several searchlites scanning the sky to me would look pretty cool.

Ya cant please all the ppl all the time as most of us know. It would just be nice if night time would be brought back even if at limited times. say 15 mins or so a few times a week even.
I'd just like to see it on occasion. doesnt have to be everyday for loong periods. Im just asking for a little compromise on the issue to try to include the wishes of of a group of players.

The tunnels issue is another thing id like addressed or atleast discussed with HT or pyro If it "cant" be done due to technical issues with the terrain i can understand that. If its just a issue with putting them into the newer maps i can understand that however if that is the case I would like them back on the maps that "used" to have them.

Hitech once said in game that wehn the night issue was brought up in a constructive, formal, adult manner in the form of a request that he would look into reinstating it.
So im formaly requesting HT consider reinstating "some" time to night ops and also address the tunnel request.


My regards-

I would recomend everone go offline and set your time to 02:00 and fly around for a bit.   AH2 is a vast improvement to AH1 in this regard.   Visibility while slightly deminished was still good enough to dogfight in and the skins would be worth something at night as they either made you glow in the moon light (silver/grey skins) or you could actually have a cammo effect (Lanc default) from under the lanc they are almost invisible but over the top of them they arn't hard to pick out.

 It's not hard to see the runways or cv for landing either... Over all I don't see why night should be left out of AH2.

how about for night landing lights on the runways like they have at airports. Might not be realistic but it could help.

I like night. Makes for interesting visual bombing. Maybe searchlights? That would make for some cool screenshots! A 17 framed in a searchlight... and as to the searchlights being jumpy... maybe they could just move a patern until they locked on a target?
