We should have lights in the game!!!
« on: October 12, 2009, 10:41:41 AM »
I think GV's should have front head lights that can be turned on or off when you want. Aircraft should also have landing lights for night time use. I think this would allow for the night setting in all the arena's to be turned on. Also i wish there would be search lights to spot bombers. Tell me what you think.
Would seem my only decent plane

First, probably should have posted this in the Wishlist.

Second, with things as they are now, there's no use for lights.

Third, in combat at night you wouldn't be running with your lights on in the first place.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

It would be nice if the tower fired a warning flare whenever there is a vulching tank nearby to warn you about the danger of landing without being aware.

Keep in mind that HTC would have to make this mandatory for EVERYONE and not toggle, so after a certain time of day your lights automatically turn on. Otherwise guys going with their lights off would have a MAJOR advantage.

Because as I said you wouldn't drive around in combat at night with your lights on. It makes you a sitting duck.

Also, you could game it by cranking your brightness way up, negating the use for lights. We need effective night before we need lights. But it does keep me thinking about my idea to use an infrared lamp and a low-lux camera to use as a ghetto radar to see RC planes.

I think we should have a night arena in which P-61s, He-219s, 110s, Lancs, etc war via the use of their crude crew-operated radars.
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

We could also have an SE Night Arena to reenactment British raids on Germany. JG301/2 could be formed with WildeSau 190s. We could have an alternative low-light universe there. I'm not sure who has the advantage...
