Night sucks.

Make it so its fair to everyone and it wouldn't suck quite so much.  But I hate the fact that a lot of guys just turn up their monitor brightness to counteract the darkness.  I can't do this.

Why give some players an artificial advantage?  I pay as much as the next guy does!

I log at night.  Seems like a lot of others do, too.   I have yet to hear about someone who logs off when it's "day"--so the right course of action is pretty self-evident.

You whiney little fairy.  Close the blinds over your windows, beg wifey to turn off the TV for 15 minutes (I know it's hard to get mistress to obey, but try), and dim the lights.  It ain't that bad...no go scrub the latrines some more, I think Gordo has been lurking around lately and you know how he likes to mark his territory!

I don't mind night.  It's short and just right IMO.  What's porked is the 5 hour sunrise/sunset period where you can't see chit.

I'd like 'Night' a lot more if the Icon range was cut down to, say, D2.

For a game full of daytime fighters, and no night fighters, I think nighttime is gimmicky.  In addition, it's always a disappointment when I log in for a fight or two, and it's dark, or getting dark.

I am still new to AH and as of yet to login when its dark or even see it go dark while online.
Anyone know how often it cycles to night time and how long that lasts?  I rather look forward to trying my hand at night flying - I'm always up for a new challenge as shown by the fact that I repeatedly have my head handed to me on a shiny silver platter (well maybe not shiny  :) )

I quite like the night-time, though I must admit to upping my brightness during the very darkest part of the night, as I find myself crashing into the hills (more than usual!) on take-off in my Lanc...   :)

Last night when I was playing I managed to sink a couple of ships during the night...   :D  OK, I died in the process, but it was fun...    :p

There are programs you can Download that makes dark game brighter. I used it for DAOC. What it does is takes your setting on your Pc an jumps it to the highest without touching a thing.

The night is still dark but if you use the program and then make yuor brightness full then the night seems better. You will be able to see the mountains.

granted...flying at night is more of a challenge...but that's just it: it's a CHALLENGE.

i think night time is great...don't get me wrong...i suck flying at night, but it's still fun.  :p

maybe you should ask HTC for some VASI or PAPI lights.  either that, or work on your ifr ratings so you can shoot an ILS approach on landings.  hehe    :p

Night play is cool.  Tracers really show up at night.  I have no trouble seeing with a red light in the room.  Screen is still kinda bright, even then.  Gotta turn on a lamp over the keyboard to type though.  The sunsets are well worth the night runs.  They are beautiful.
