I log off for dusk and dawn.

The pitch-black night doesnt but me, but the huge gradients during dusk/dawn are unplayable as far as I'm concerned.

I personally wish that dusk and dawn would be accellerated to a couple of minutes, and the rest of the time filled in with a dark night time. You could easily extend the effective length of night, without sacrificing daytime.

A.

I actually like flying at night...

Love sneaking up on someone that can't deal with it and getting an easy kill...

Just means that you have to be more SA then usual.

I usually spawn an Ostie or an M16 with tracers turned off and drive to the nearest enemy field I can spawn at and hide in one of the enemy hangers and vulch them as they take off.

Regardless of your tracer selection, your gun position tracers (GVs, PTs and Bombers) are ALWAYS visable to other players.

My answer is A. I keep flying. If I happen to be in the tower when night is coming, I'll sometimes go up in a LANC or B17 for an overnight bombing mission.

Really? I could have sworn I've been pinged by a panzer's .30 cal when I didn't know he was firing at me. Same for ostys - There have been times when I thought that I was sneaking in for a nice divebombing run, only to have my wing torn off in one ping.

A By god!!!!! Especially with the night time in the CT setup for last week. Some of us are lucky to get any kills and need the extra help that night time gives us.

I switch to ground assaults. Sometimes I can see well enough to not hit a tree. The Panzer can be tricky like that, but the M-16 has its own built-in nightscope.

Which letter for, "Keep flying, but squeak about it."?

When I see sunset, I grab my Lancs. This seems to be the only time the lancs can survive. Sure they still show up on radar, but at 20k at least I am outta icon range and you cant see my "dots" from the ground!! I like the night, just wish it was a little longer, maybe 30 minutes or so. It would give the perfect "theater" for the Lancasters to operate in and make them an effective weapon against strat targets. I also think at night there should be spot lights over cities/hq's/factors etc. Night is great for bombers but they shouldn't have a free reign, just a fighting chance
