weather
« on: February 26, 2011, 12:47:12 PM »
a new (i think) wish... and a question. in the different "dayys in history" campaigns, does the weather correspond to the weather on that day/op?

and if it doesnt, could it? just to make things interesting?

On days with bad weather missions were recalled. So I'd say, yes, it is.

I think all AH needs to do with the cloud is fluff it out a little bit more.

So you can fly in and out and make it opaque but don't cover the whole arena with a sheet of cloud.   As it is now the clouds gradually move across the terrain,   having a few pockets of cloud would be cool but if there is too much it can get annoying.

A good example of this is on A32 ?  Baltic,  the base on the far east side sitting in Finland.

Make them thicker too so you can hide in them or use them as cover to get someone off your six and loose them?
It would be good if a goon could fly in a cloud haha

it would be cool to have weather. but then hitech would have to implement weather controls into every plane that had them.
