After reading Deighton's "Bomber" years ago I think it would way cool to have a purpose built night fighter arena with ground controllers and close range airborne radars. It'd rule for that.

But then again the first time we tried the ground controller thing in BoB I signed right up for that slot thinking it'd be a cool twist on things. First target? The radars! Broad daylight. Poof. Waste of those Saturdays lol!

I enjoy the night.
I like the immersion and the night time also allows for a change of strategy. GVs can get more done, etc.
Also a great excuse for people to get up from their chairs and stretch their legs if they are having too hard of a time.
Adjusting gamma settings may also improve the experience

I would, however, also be fine with always having a full moon night, more of a purple night vs true darkness. Airceaft exaust and such would help too, as me tioned above.

Keeping night = perfect excuse for nightfighters which many people have wanted for some time. They could improve the icon appearance (during night)for their pilots and can relay that to others.

Fug I think it looks super cool as ####. I just don't see it's value in at least the fighter component of our game.


However:  For the navy types, and with all the new boats, you would be able to replicate the night actions at Guadalcanal, Bouganville and the Phillippines, as wild examples.

Of course, this ought to be in a boutique navy arena.  I observe that Jaeger and Bustr, and perhaps others, are already working on such a fabled place.

No, Hitech suggested along with all the details to create battleship task groups that I add one group for every CV group on my MA terrain. And attach them as second task groups to each port on the terrain. There are 9 of them and they are all Iowa class, not boutique class capitol ships. And each bbtsg0 group has one CV in it that you can launch birds off of.

I log off too- a bit annoying if i only have an hour to play though.

Love the night time, it is well done. It is distracting in that while I'm flying, I try to find the constellations. So far I have only found two of the three stooges and Agua man.

Whaaa? Hate the night?  I LOVE it.  (sigh).  BTW - I'm flying regularly again in the MA.

And yes, they're working on it.  :x

It's not so bad once you hit gamma 2.0 but it is irksome.

My personal preference would be to make the MA times be between the hours where it stops being a "cockpit full of urine" view, but that's just me.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Don't fear the night... RULE THE NIGHT.  It is the perfect time to get those buffs up and climbing for that dawn raid.   The perfect time to position the GVs for a blitz.  I LOVE THE NIGHT.

Night time is only as good as the players using it.

example, most people just use the gamma slider during night and whala no more night time.

it would be good to not allow people to use gamma sliders, but then they will just increase brightness on their monitors.

easiest way to approach night time is simply turning the game off, for people that dont want to fly at night.

I personally would like to see the following happen for night time.

1.  cockpit lighting
2.  friendly tagging decreases to 3k
3. maybe some friendly lights o n wings etc for friendlies and enemies over 3k
4. enemy icon range decreases to 3k
5. enemy lights blinking red or just a E Icon until you get within 3k.
6. searchlights from ground bases would be awesome however towns kept dark woth only some twinkling of some person who didnt get the message to black out their windows this drawing a big bullseye on their positions _ happenned to biebesheim am rhein , gernsheim am rhein and many other small towns in that area when US was trying to bomb darmstadt and the train depot there in what was formerly called kelley barracks.

7.  262s and 234s have some type of red orange on their engines
8. when you look into the cockpit of another aircraft top gun style you should be able to see some lighting there, maybe the pilot should be smoking a cigar ??

while we add all of this, lets make night time reeeeaaaally dark, to the point where you cannot see the ground or anoything within 6k,

for gvs
1.  sparks while on concrete
2. chemlight markers or small ligts on top
3. reflection of binoculars and turret sights while pointed at you.
the light marker would be the equivelant of the light inside the vehicle  shining through the periscopes of the tanks.

I like the night time and the clouds, it feels like there is some weather now too, at least what seemed like updrafts I have encountered a few times.  New towns, new scenery, new maps, new bases, new rides.  Lots changed but the core remains the same.  Still fun times. 

I just came back after not playing for years and the only thing I don't like about the new stuff is my old account got deleted from inactivity so I lost my name and perks.  Building it back up though.
