We can thank him for that accomplishment

I would have traded SMpizza for Mindnao but I'm glad some adjustments were made! I think most of us can rejoice that Buzzsaw is finally gone. Thanks for switching somethings up Hitech!

Buzzsaw suffered to changes in ship navigation applied after it was introduced.

lol so ironic I was just starting to come around on Buzz. I will live.

Please don’t ever give in to the small map small crowd.

Anything helps. What's his reluctance to just turn it off?

How boring to have just one set daytime hour always. The last thing this game needs is less dynamic options.

The star constellations are super cool. I dont particularly like it too dark because yaks are even harder to shoot  :rofl, but I have my gamma turned up a couple of points and that really helps a lot to where I can see the planes infront of me.

I like(d) all the maps in the rotation except for Northco. Really bummed that these are gone, variety is the spice of life, etc.

I get your point, but night time kills the action for most of an hour.

Also, it looks outright terrible. Dawn and dusk lighting cause this strange green tint to everything, including the clipboard. And then you get harsh on/off transitions to/from pure night. Also, the dawn, dusk, and night skies really highlight how misaligned the horizon of the sky is from the horizon from the visible ground.

It's bad in all ways.

If night time looked good it'd be great. But it looks like ass, as does dusk and dawn. IL2 has a hell of an immersive night time.
