Flares once we get night reinstalled
« on: July 25, 2009, 03:16:14 PM »
If we get night back instead of this persistant daylight, we should get flares for gv's that might have carried them and fighters. If gv's didn't carry flares then hey, infantry probably did and what would be accompanying tanks...that's right, infintrymen.


The flares could be used to mark ground targets or friendlies at night, and fighter droped flares could be used to indicate targets for high alt bombers. We could get those star shells and that would create a better combat environment for gv's.

I know you probably have objections, but instead of focusing on the negativites, think about wether or not you would carry a few at night if some gv guys asked you to mark targets.

night will never be re-installed in the main arenas, search the boards. HT posted it himself.

Then we have it in arena other then the main boards?

I was under the impression that we had it only on titanic tuesday.

And I would guess that this would not be TOO hard to moddle, so if we get this then we may get recon planes and gliders. My guess would be that we won't get gliders towed by C47's. Then HTC would increase the troop count required or make it so you have to carry supplies in the c47.

The only time there's night in game is offline or once in a blue moon in special events (in the SEA arena).

Leave night out of the game, and while your at it, speed up dawn and dusk to about salvo 0.5  :rock

I remember when they had night in the MA. It was not enjoyable at all.

I'm glad it's gone, and I hope it never comes back.

Why do people whine when they don't get their way?

It is not a whine, it is a serious question.

I have noticed that it seems some people act as if they feel threatened by change. (not a reference to Obama's sloagan or members of any political. I don't care to know your poitical views and as for mine... that is hardly any of your buissines.) They shoot down any suggestion for change of the game or something that would possibly interfere with their base grabing or kill scoring.

Night will never happen in the main arena...again.
