Another Saturday Night Ruined.....

By darkness.

I understand the mission clock but the honest brutal truth is night time is the equivalent to barracks time.  No flying.

Good night and, sleep tight.

Yeager - I don't have your home address available. I didn't forget about your book but I need your address again. Do you have an email address I can contact you at?

Night requires higher SA than normal. Please don't log when it gets dark, we need targets!

Or just turn off the lights in your computer area. Hopefully you know where your keys/buttons are if not then get some NVG's and fly. :D

Night time is not that big of a deal. Its easy to fly in and you can smack some bombers who time their HQ runs by the game clock. One night (game time) I dropped in on a flight of 9 bombers with two wingmen about three grids off the HQ and brought 7 down with the 8th and 9th hurting bad and eventually crashing.

Maybe HT could make night a user option, like tracers on or off.

Then the guys that think flying day VFR fighters at night is cool could do that and the guys that think flying day VFR fighters during the day is cool could do that.

Just a thought.

Here is something that perplexes me.  

HT has to know that many if not most "game" the night with contrast/brightness/gamma, but yet it is still here.

In a realistic setting with realistic night fighters/bombers it might be fun.  In the MA it is not.

Won't game the game by playing with my monitor's gamma/brightness.  So for me, night just serves as a handy reminder to log off and do something productive.

night sux and has always sucked. many who fly at "night" just adjust their setting to mke it "not night".

I was glad ht pulled night the 1st time. Maybe hes listening.

Nigh yime sux.

The ct had done away with night as well. Then suddenly it came back. when I use to care about flying in ah I used to go to the ct until 4 in in a row it was night in the main and the ct. Then I said f'it and mostlyfly il2/fb.

The have night modeled way better they but it still sux. The good thing is theres always some other room to fly in.

Always seems like I work to make 45 minutes in my day to play AH and I log in and... it's night in the MA.

Log in, log out.

Welp...gaming the game is what the 'creator' does. :) This would lead me to believe that it is what he intended.
