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.

Yip.. I remember, No night!

Just to point something out, a few special events (snapshots) are ran at "night" (21:00 hours to 4:00 hours in game). Anyone is welcome to attend these. One of the few ways you can still experience night and fight at the same time. :aok

Yep.  I'm also willing to bet that the majority that want night put back in the game will end being in one of the two camps you described and then we'll see threads from them demanding night time be removed.

Christmas has plenty of people flying because they know its the only time all year they will get to fly in night conditions.

No, the main reason is that players want a chance to shoot down Santa.

It'd be cool if icon visibility were reduced at night with the addition of night fighter versions of the mosquito and bf110. maybe even a miniature dar could float along with the planes to help aid in this role. im all for night and the cool stuff that could come of it. :rock

radar shooting planes are useless when the bomber gunners can clearly see your icon :)

would flying at night affect frame rate at all ? never flown at night so that is why I am asking..A trial run might be good...or do a vote like everything else...

I hated night back in AH, i was one of the people who logged when it was night.  There was nothing worse than logging in to AH with an hour to spare to find it was night time.

One solution is to turn down your gamma and brightness and voila! inasta-night in AH :D

I must admit i enjoyed night at first, the novelty very quickly wore off.
