ty, hap

All in favor say "aye" those in disfavor say "nay".
As for me Aye:aok

Speaking of sun and weather effects:
We had a Run-90 hanging out way above one of the fields today refusing to come down and fight (he tried diving on me once, but soon as he saw I was heading towards him he aborted 1k out and climbed back up).
All the sudden for no apparent reason he burst into flames.
I think Icarus up there flew too close to the sun and the heat lit him on fire. :D
Add my "Aye!" (pictures alt-monkey dweebs getting zapped by lightning. "Zeus shot you down!" lol!)
-
Aye!
-
SYSTEM: Zeus landed 7 kills in a Mk. I Cloud of <>
-
SYSTEM: Raiden wins! FATALITY!

I know they prob (never know) will not bring back full on night time, but some cloudy overcast low visability fights would be nice.
The 12:00 O'clock bright sun in the eyes gets real old after a while.
Dusk and dawn would be a nice addition also IMO, add some fog or low clouds, bomber crews might have trouble seeing targets. Might add a little spin on things for flavor and realism.
My 2 cents

Weather was always used as a advantage for you and dis-advantage
for the enemy! I said go for it!

I'd love to have more clouds added for a challenge to buff pilots. What few clouds I've flown through and over on top of my target were inconvenient for me, but it made me rethink my strategy.

Mild, variable weather, affecting only relatively small areas(say 1/2 sector or less for severe storms) I could take. Anything that prohibits flight ops, or causes large numbers of prospective targets to log off or sulk in the tower is a bad thing.
-
cool idea hubson. and in that area drastically increase perk point earning capacity to reward those braving inclemancy.
-
Aye!:aok
-
Increase mid-day glaring sun.
-C+
-
Bug splatters and rain drops on the windshield :)

Oui!,Aye!,Da!,Ja!,Si!,YES!!!!!!AND NIGHT TIME!
So I don't hav to Escort Genrl all the time!:aok :aok :aok :aok and to make use of the black skinned bombers:noid :noid

Exactly, 1/2 sector or so. With the clouds and or overcast moving along so it shifts.
You make for some interesting stratagies IMO.

aye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need some real weather, and dump inflight Dar while your at it :O
Weather more like this, note the ground fog.

I think this is kinda funny...
You're saying that one specific kind of limited visibility is bad, but all the others are ok.
Why is glaring sun worse than night, or fog?
Weather is weather, sorry, turns out the sun DOES glare, turn 5 degrees and its gone... easy. If you don't like that you're CERTAINLY not going to like fog.
-
We actually had quite decent haze at one point. I miss it.

True, but the sun didn't glare almost 24/7 in WWII either. There was different types of weather.

You skipped right past my point though... Of course the weather changed. But when it was sunny the sun glared.
My point is simply that bad vis is bad vis...

i forgot who mentioned it, but i agree that moveable weather fronts affecting small portions (sector and a half maybe) of the front lines are desireable inclement weather opens up a slew of possibilities, fun i think. ops would be hampered, if by "ops" we mean upping any plane we fancy flying any way we fancy and shooting, luring, attacking, engaging enemies fancifully. and for those who pay their $15 for that end, fear not. i do not think we'll see game changes that would cause you dismay.
nonetheless, the more i think about it, "a moveable weather front" would be way cool!! if we had some heads up meteorlogically . . . some sort of weather forecast that is quixotic in its reliablility from time to time.
i'm sure from what i've said, you've a clear enough idea of the suggestion. after all, inclement weather always has been a factor in warfare. should be some sort of esteemable reward for braving it and accomplishing successfully some set of tasks: kills, captures, resupply, etc.

Oh, Aye! :aok
BUT...I have to say...while I would really like more active weather...last night I ran with a couple of Genrls usually good missions, and on the way to giving Bishland a much-needed leveling out...we had a bit o' weather!!
Scattered clouds at altitude, a bit of haze, etc...We actually (albiet briefly) lost sight of one another at ranges of less than 800K. Only lasted a couple-three seconds...but it does already happen in little bits.
Now...give me some truly destructive Thunderboomers, some hail and the occasional tornado...and we'll be cookin' with gas. Although i agree that it must be modelled in such a way as to not discourage too many pansies from flying.
...and the sunglare still sux. Period.

Aye Aye Aye Aye

Roger that, misunderstood:o
p.s. A little "bad" weather now and then is still a good idea
