I miss the night time we used to have, granted it was a little too long.
Would love to see it back say for 30 mins every couple of hours.

Do a search, HTC said it isn't going to happen because people logged off in droves when it turned to night. Those that didn't just turned up their gamma settings.
-
Would be nice to have winter summer and desert maps though.

How about nite, but have our planes glow in the dark.. :)

True, but they said the B29s weren't going to be in the game either :D

They never said that. Only players did.

This is the first I seen him post...I don't think he reads the boards much....

The old night time sky was just too dark.
I remember squad and range vox full of complaints when darkness approached.
I would like to see HTC try the night again though. There are ways to give the impression of night without the darkness that aggravated people.
Just for the atmosphere it would lend to the game.

turn the gamma down on your settings, will be the same as night and since everybody else would up the gamma up to turn it into day. then you will know what it was to fight like that back in the day :D.

That right there would be a HUGE plus, in my book. The constant green green green maps are getting old. Half the fun of the special events are being able to fly over snow and desert terrain.
-
I would like to have night one night a week ... say Sunday or Monday... for 1 hour ...not 12 times in the day!
1 hour of night a week after 9pm Eastern would be great. The dynamic at night is pretty cool and you can actually fly and see fairly well.

The night you miss so much has been gone from the MA's for what, eight years?
I think it's time you let it go and moved on with your life.
Night sucked. That's why it's long gone.

Night time is fun - it great to watch zeke's torch at night ^_^
-
I loved night time bombing! Great times! Coprhead skins on the B17's ;)
I would love for there to be some sort of night as well. :(
I'd like desert, winter etc. maps as well :D
-
Was only 15 mins IIRC.

Would be nice to have AH3. AH2 is looking kinda dated.

Night with day fighters is absolutely ridiculous. The majority spoke when they tried it before and we all logged en masse. It'd be nice if this subject could just get dropped. Not a thing has changed since the great failed experiment with night happened I dunno how many years ago so I don't see what would be worth repeating. Trust me (and many others that were actually here) it sucked. Serious. All that was accomplished were some very dark, very empty arenas. And what with these trying economic times---we don't need anything that rhymes wid dat! Sayin.
Don't get me wrong as I've said it before. If there was some way or making a playable night fighter arena complete with radars both on the ground with sector controllers and in the planes and with some way of seeing in the pitch dark once things got to within "visual" range then I'd be willing to give it a shot. I've read accounts of night fighter ops on the german side and it sounded really interesting and really challenging so I'd be all over it. But let's face it guys--that day isn't here. Not only are there no true night fighters, there is no airborne radar in our planes. Additionally, the graphics and monitors of today still aren't capable of displaying the ammount of detail--in mostly dark--what you'd need to have to do this anywhere near realistically. Can you imagine the shades of black you'd have to display to simulate night really? Those that might suggest turning up the gamma are only agreeing with me. If ya want night then don't turn your gamma up. If you're turnin your gamma up then you really don't want night then do ya? If you're just lookin to sneak into a base on the deck unseen--then you're really just lookin for easy points aren't ya? Heck ya could do that offline.

Several of us who WERE here - including the OP - are just saying it was nice and we WISH we could have it back. It's not like we're on here DEMANDING it be put back in like a bunch of little twa-- ...girls did when they changed the vehicle movement setup.
And before someone looks at my forum date and accuses me of not being here - I've played under many names and never had need to use the forum.
MADDOG4U
Lt.Wolfe
and some other old names that I can't recall atm lol.

I was there too. I logged. It was stupid. Bright neon icons in the inky blackness totally not good. Just saying.
If I log on and find the arena at dawn/dusk I just log right away. If I were HT I would put the damned sun at high noon and just leave it there. Optimum combat flight conditions - bright blue sky, although clouds are ok.
Not that it matters.....
-
Let's make it night and use Claws forever! :joystick:
Night sucked -100000 :bhead
-
What is stupid to one might not be to others. Like I said, we're not really demanding night back. I liked it. Night time buff missions were a blast.
-
man hate for y'all to work any harder for a kill.
I play Rise of Flight on the side and you never know how its gunna look in there, might be right at dawn with the sun in your face, could be right at dusk, might be snowin, maybe even raining.
learned real quick to fly around it. Makes it all the more interesting, I would love to see a rain storm (no lighting of course) cover a group of bombers on the way to a target/obscure bases.
add a bit of a dynamic environment. and of course you can always wuss out and log/turn your gamma up hate for the game to get too difficult.

Exactly. All these :cry get upset because it was something that made the game harder for them.
"Optimum combat flight conditions - bright blue sky"
Everyone on here screams bloody murder that they love this game due to its realistic feel. Weather and night are all a part of that....then again they just say that I think to kiss....well you get the idea.

it's not that we hated the night, it is that we found out most players that stayed were just changing their gamma to make it look like day. I found out when I started that I was basically the only one flying literally in the dark and everybody around me had the gamma up. but since the gamma is hard on your eyes, you couldnt play for long.
so the so called "night' was just a joke, just that simple.

That's right, because not a single one of us who didn't like night used the reasoning of the arena emptying... or maybe...

it was because of this. It was for me anyway, but maybe I am wrong about my own reasons. Guide me on my own thoughts please! :D

:salute
Well said, Marine.
:aok +1 to REALISTIC night-time buff raids... after all, because Night with day fighters is absolutely ridiculous.
then daytime raids with Lancasters is absolutely ridiculous, too, right?
-
I look at it this way.
If the other pilots suck so hard that they would rather turn the gamma up to try and get an unfair advantage - then that just means I'm obviously a more rounded gamer.
I can do what they can not - and in most cases - destroy them and send a spiraling POS to the deck leaving a trail of flame that makes my heart smile.
It's just like killing a hacker in an FPS game. I show them that he sucks so bad at real life that he spends most of his time gaming....which he ALSO sucks at, so he has a program do it for him...and I STILL kick his butt.
I prefer a hard fight. I like it when the enemy has the upper hand. Maybe that's the Marine in me...or the fact that I know NOT having a challenge is boring....
meh - you tell me.

He gets on 2-3 times a week. Doesn't say much, just does a couple sorties when he gets time I guess

-1 night time sucked and was exploited bigtime.

I was taking part in a sec (? not sure) event last october or november where we had to attack the british fleet with stukas and 109Fs.
The event started at dawn, finished in the late morning. The arena setup was awsome, i wish fore those colours in the MA. Would add a lot to the impression.

I am the greatest thing since sliced bread and if you don't agree with me ... you suck!

Pretty much nails it if a guy names Noir is against the night :D

Burn fuel on the fields.
+1 But I really dislike that HTC bans posted missions during our current "night time"
Nightime operations would be a lot more fun if the fires created on fields cast illumination on the surrounding area.
I'd like to throw in that maybe the center of the map could be the night area and it would be nice to have Lancasters equipped with that radio direction thing they used as well as night fighters.
Especially the ones with shragmusik gun packages.
While we're at it, could HTC throw in the grand-slam bombs for HQ missions?
-
I seriously thought he wrote a song.
-
That's cute. I am by no means the "best thing since sliced bread." - and by not being able to disprove my argument, you've gone to acting like a child. :neener:
I'm sorry you don't enjoy the challenge. You can always go play....I don't know.... IL2 or something?
I actually am a very crappy fighter pile-it, seeing as how I spend more time focusing on real life than I do hopping on AH. There's a few months I've paid for and not even logged in at all...
But if you would like to think I'm that good, then by all means go ahead. :)
:ahand

I'd like to see the night. It would open up night fighters to be included in the game. Imagine HTC modeling a position called #2 Radar Operator, rather than #2 Another Gun.
With the Radar Operator having an actual terminal to spot aircraft and bombers like in the real night time fighters, who knows.. Night time could open up an aspect of the game the MA is missing.
Plus I'd like landing lights and navigation lights on the aircraft.

There was nothing to "disprove" in that post.
It's not whether I think you are good or not, I don't really care, I just found it comical that you got caught up in your own ... "I am great" back patting ... and felt the need to point it out.
Seeing that I have been here from 2002, I think I have seen ALL the challenges that AH has to offer and can't recall ever backing down from any of them ... and whatever challenge or challenges that AH does present ... they don't even register on the "reality" scale.

2001(2000??) here. IIRC my name at the time was MADDOG4U or LT.Wolfe.
I wasn't "back patting" - I was letting you know that I don't back down or rage quit like a kid because it got hard or the other guy had an unfair advantage. Hell, it's why I'll take up a Spit I every once in a while. To give the enemy an advantage.
Keep digging though. I'm enjoying the frustration from you because I proved that you admitted to running from a challenge. (They had an advantage with high gamma).
I don't come on here with the intention to be an @-$$ hole, but I do swing back ten fold when someone decides to argue and force me out of an opinion. Last time I checked, I was living in the United States...and I don't know about you (nor do I care), but I get to have an opinion.
And before you start, you are more than welcomed to your opinion. You got upset and decided to act like a child. That is why I'm getting an attitude with you. I explained why I liked the night. I enjoy the challenge. I enjoy beating people who have the upper hand. - That's not "back patting" - That is being an American.
Winning as the little guy.
Swing again. I'm just getting started.
