Hell, they did it for AH1.



I vote for bringing back night.  My squad's night time missions were some of the most fun I've ever had in the game.

hes got a point
No he doesn't. Most of the skins you can still see clearly the plane at night, and even the type of plane. All the edges give off a glow.

Guess you guys don't remember how half the arena logged when night came around.  And the only ones who stayed are the ones who turned their gamma settings up.

More like 90% of the arena logged.

For those saying "night is better now" -- it's not that much better. NOW the only difference is that the ground glows unrealistically. Planes and dots are still the same and it's still just an excuse to try to milk run or try to cherry pick somebody that can't see you. Night = avoiding a fight. Night = same as stats padding, want all the rewards none of the risk.

Night?

Why stop there.  Get rid of Icons.  Then along with "E-night".  Put in real clouds.  The kind where you have to have some knowledge of how to fly on instruments only.  Get rid of the current "GPS Moving Map" and give us only a map of the arena and let everyone learn how to navigate using pilotage and dead rekoning.  Add in real wind, and throw in some moderate turbulence below say 10 k.  Now try to keep your gunsight on target!     

It would be fun watching people try to land low wing taildraggers, with a cross wind.  :rofl

YUP!! that would get almost EVERYBODY to log off.  It would be way too realistic.   

I say no to night.

making the moving gps map an option in the "Flight Preferences" part of the "Options" folder would be nice. i would even disable it for chiits and giggles  :D

Night fighting was not interesting. I can be resumed in an icon chase, as you can't see the trajectories of any planes. 1VS1 usually ended in a blind turn fight until someone crashed into the ground. I have a gamma boost switch on my screen but I still used to log out during night as the fights were boring.

I'd give it a NO.

Give us a real weather before please.

Seconded.
