Where is the Night?
« Reply #45 on: September 18, 2000, 09:11:00 AM »
I hear ya KKen  

I too want it back. I'd heard online that the reason was they were making some changes to the night mode to make it better. I hope so. I too liked the arena when it got dark. Not crazy about the infallable icons that give one way but it is very cool.

I believe I saw, in another thread, HT say night was removed because the MA #s dropped during the night time.  People would go to the training arena or the SEA and goof off til it was dawn again.  BFHD!  Some people aren't going to like it.  And they dinnae even give it a chance with the moon light (I never saw the moon while in the MA, save peeking over the horizon before the time warp).

As for icons, remove them beyond D1.5.  Except for the radar equipped night fighters.  Give us the tell tale exhaust to home in on and you have to get just about inside guns range to know if it's friendly or enemy.  Radar-equipped night fighters (HINT: P-61B) get icons as they currently are.  Probably a real bear to program/setup, but I think it's be worth it    

Bring on Monica and luftwabble birds that had the detectors, the Widows, etc etc etc (we've already got the Lancs   )

And if not the P-61, a Mossie could serve the role of Night Fighter, Fast Bomber, anti-anything we want (Read FB Mk. VI), and they already have the Ju-88 to modify into a nightfighter! Hell, they could give us a P-38M! (I know they were few, but it would be a quick solution here just like in WW2   ).

Just (I make it sound simple, don't I...just)make the moon another lightsource in the game, with only about 1/8th the illumination of the Sun.

To simulate the Radar in fighters, make it so only the Night Fighters have the pinpoint radar on the cockpit clipboards (with the ability to only pinpoint aircraft within 1 grid of the aircraft), and all other aircraft only recieve the grid (Bar) Radar while flying at night.

I was just trying to figure out a way to incorporate `night' fighting into the game using what is already existing. How would you guy's/gals implement it? Maybe we will stumble across a way to do this that could be tested out in the SEA or something like that if HTC see's enough interest and it isn't too difficult to incorporate.
