Ah yes. I would sure love to see a much longer night time in the MAs. I love dogfighting and bombing under the shadow of the stars and the glow of the moon.

   I miss the brief period of night time we used to have.  I thought HTC had it perfect.  It went all the way to dark.  Then dawn started.  I thought this was a very elegant solution.  It was just enough night to get the point across.

  Despite all the complaining from the players the real truth is/was that it was only dark for about 15min from pre-night ...to night... to  post-night.  So for that 15min it was hard to see, but that was the whole point.
it!

  Remember seeing the the ground in the glow of the full moon? ...or the lovely sunset, sunrise routines? ....or looking up into a sky filled with stars? ....sadly today's players have never even seen them.  It was also nice to see a "new day" start in aces....the way it is today it feels like one continuous 365 day,  and that is the very definition of "Lame".  Today players get cheated out of all this beauty...they have never seen them.

Nighttime was great!
Unfortunately I never got to see it much in the MA, but with the H2H still around, we organized lots of night-operations. (Lancaster raids etc.)
Great part of H2h was that you could set your own time. Forming up with lights on, and when ready; *poof* utter darkness :D
