How many furballs happened at night in the real deal?

I've heard many adjust gamma to make it closer to daylight anyways.

I've got no qualms either way. Just sayin'

I could care less about what happened 70+ years ago as it relates to playing a video game. Nobody come at me with the history lesson…

We all have to balance some realism with fun and we all have our hills we will die on. The nighttime would be my Hamburger Hill! As a lifelong stargazer and someone developing an Astronomy intelligence software I’m pretty cool with the night.

Regardless of whatever happens, you all just inspired my next video sequence!  :neener: :salute

Can’t ever be truly blind when you have the clipboard as a crutch to find the enemy.

I’m not a fan of the dark either. At least, in the dark, you could justify some planes having radar.

AWACs doesn't help much with gunnery.

Basically when it goes into "cockpit full of urine" mode, I can't distinguish the planes worth a crap, and I dislike that immensely, especially when it occurs during the hour or so I play at a time.

If I could adjust gamma in VR, wouldn't be an issue, but it won't let gamma be changed in VR.

It could be 12 noon all day with laser guided radar and I’m still gonna shoot like Mr. Magoo 24/7!

Ok I see I got it now. Realism for radars

But the functions of nature can go F itself. High noon all day!

Lame.
I’ve actually suggested concessions in my crusade that known night fighters could have AWACS. I don’t care for night fighting but I’ve never railed against it.
