Does anyone 'dislike' the night?

[Ripsnort]

I found it extremely enjoyable, first thing I do when the sun sets is land and grab a bomber or tanker!

We NEED the P61 now!  A small, crude in-flight radar for finding bogies within 5  miles of radar in nose...Yes!

I want a Me410...and no icons during the night!

that would be KEWL!!!!

How often does the arena turn to night?  I've only seen night time once since the patch, maybe I'm just playing at the wrong times.

I liked it when I did get the chance to fly in it.

Hopefully HT  wil  read this, I wouldn't mind seeing nightfall about every 2 hours, for 15 min or so...anyone else have  a preference?

I really hated the night in Warbirds, but the one opportunity I had to get into a good fight during the night in here I had an absoulte blast.

Real white knuckle stuff.

Agreed Sharky, I think its because  the graphics are really good in here.  Stars and the moon would be a plus.

No, rip. If we want true night fighting with night fighters we need more than 15 minutes...maybe to set the time to x3 would help, and putting one hour to night fighting, so we get some 7 hours of daytime and one hour of darkness. THat way there would be 3 nights each "real life" day, and we'd be able to fly 1 or 2 night sorties in heavy night fighters.

AH has a VERY good chance here, Night fightning can be VERY FUN!...Lancaster is coming, so if we get a couple of night fighters Me410 (could be used in daytime too) with optional radar sets in hangar (so as a day Zerstorer can be flown with some chances of success), and your loved P61...or better still, a Mosquito.

Dunno about how can be Radar modelled but I'm sure they can develop something in that way.Of course, always with icons off during nighttime.

And night tank battles too!! heheh that would rock!!

I think we have something REALLY GOOD HERE!

Well, you could always run tests in the H2H arenas, right?

[RAM]

If you give me a Me410, yes

 I used to think I would dislike it.  But I found that I LOVE it. It's just the right amount of time, not too short and not too long in duration, including the dawn and dusk time. Mayber one or two times a month have a two hour long "Night Fright" session for those who would like more of it than is available in the MA now.

 I do wish that the icons would go tranluscent or dim (like my map on the keyboard does) otherwise forget about a P-61, OWL, or any other night fighter who uses the darker skies for concealment while hunting.

  I havent come across night in the arena yet but look forward to it. And i agree with RAM, 15 mins is not enough, if we are going to have night 1 hour would work pretty good IMO.

Yup, I agree with Ram too, 15 min is not enough!

1 hour of night??? No way...
I persoanlly don't like flying during the night. 30min every 3hours would be fine with me though.
Plus if I like to fly during the day time and I have only around 1 free hour/day, would you expect me to stay in AH if that free hour would always be night in the arena?

You bring up a good point with 'limited' playing time, your suggestion above seems ideal in my opinion!

I had a great time in the night and I hope it becomes more frequent and lasts a little longer.  Maybe 4hrs of day to an hr of night, so it's not night time at a specific time every day?

Here's a thread I started on night fighting a couple months ago.  It contains some pretty good discussion about it.

And I'm gonna hold ya to your post Rip
