To some extent where and when the clouds go is up to the terrain designer. I doubt HTC would want any strat object permanently covered by cloud, but a 50/50 chance might be OK.

On an MA terrain there may be other restrictions imposed by HTC for framerate or other reasons. For example on the first AH cloud system a maximum of 900 clouds could be active across the map at any one time. On the second system strange visual effects could occur if cloud systems overlapped. It is too early to know what the restrictions are going to be for this setup.

Thanks, 580 mph sure perks up the view.   :D

My guess is that the haze and clouds are meant to be game changers.

The "Zoneysphere" is above the clouds.  The real question is how will you see me as I come whistling through them as I drop in...................!!!

That last Fri. night skirmish map we had between the USN and IJN with the clouds in it really reminded me how awesome clouds can be.
