Title: night time flying
Post by: azdevil66 on May 22, 2010, 04:49:22 PM
<S> to all fighters bombers and gv'ers.. it would be nice if we could get the night time scenario's back in the game it would bring more challenges for all in the game and make it allot more fun
<S> to all happy hunting :O

+1 on that ideal.  Even try to push a FSO event on night time bombing over Germany but a lot of ppl do not support it.

If I wanted a challenge I'd be outside.  Not hitting trees is a priority and if I can't see them....

Not much use in night time when you can make it lighter by changing the gamma setting.

if we dont get night time, I would love a slight variation in weather, even if it was adjusted ever so slightly

to simulate night flying,  just close your eyes whilst looking at the screen.

Darkness will surround your plane and then you will have your wish   :rock

It didn't do anything other than be annoying.  Icon ranges were still 6000 yards, you just couldn't see unless you gamed it by messing with your gamma.  Night fighting in WWII was VERY different than day fighting and this game is not set up to simulate it, nor would it be entertaining for large numbers of people.

Night was horrid in the old days... people either logged off, went afk until it got lighter, or turned up the gamma. I know one guy that even made a macro to increase his gamma from within AH.

-1 for night time returning.

Do a search. HItech said there will be no more night time in the MA's. I think the last time this discussion came up it got so heated that someone got a "time out" for defending a ship that was on the bottom for a week.

Night time sucked. I seem to remember most folks waiting in the tower for the sun to come back out.

Yea we got it years ago, and I miss it sure was hard to fight but there were amazing fights in air and ground, and was the best time to sneack gv's and bomb around.

Why do you want to avoid fighting in a multi-player PvP game?

if night time comes back they should have runway lights and lights in the towns making night time bombing raids easier  :devil

Well if were talking about runway lighting and what not, then we should also give a thought about spotlights, on bases and strats that turn on when the nme start flashing it.

Are you kidding? They've had everything from flying PT boats to sharks with laser beams on their heads. I'm sure a spot light would be a piece of cake to make happen.  :lol

Night time seems like an awesome idea (personally, I wouldn't mind 15 minutes of it here and there), but I've heard lots of people log off during the night time and anything that takes away customers is not a good thing for HTC.

less time they dont play, more time they have to think about why they keep on paying.

Night time would open up a whole lot of possibilities to expand the game to new levels.  But from what I've read it just doesn't work for the game.

You like a challenge Raptor? When was the last time you were in the AvA arena?

Guys you know I don't post much here, but if we get night time back we definitely would need the search lights in the game.. This is win win for all...makes the game more dynamic and brings out a bit more realistic WW11 fighting.

+1 for nightime flying. Would like to see this sometime in the MAs. Sadly though, HTC  said they will not bring it back in. On the plus side, I would like to see HTC add some dynamic weather/seasonal changes brought to the MAs. Overcast gray, maybe some snow covered ground, sandy deserts, etc. I think those will more than make up for lack of nights.
