I understand it looks good (apart from the insta black) but it adds nothing to gameplay, in fact it detracts from it.
Thanks

I like the night time I love to boogie-Night Time needs to stay-if anything it needs a longer duration

Agree. It adds nothing and should be left to scenarios and Christmas Eve.
Hate the dusk even more. It always seems to be getting dark. Need to get a throttle quadrant and map it to the gamma slider.

i just made a perfectly times night run B29 raid to the strats. it was fun.

Seems lately I've been in a rut where it's either late afternoon and about to get dark, dark or early morning. When it's dark you can't see. It looked cool the first time but not being able to see your opponents in a game doesn't lend itself to game play. To say I'm not a fan of night is putting it mildly. I'd be fine if it went from 8 to 4 and right back. Earlier and later it's just dark or too dang dark. Ridiculous. It's a flying game with daytime fighters. Gotta be able to see.

you know the "map" is round, if the sun is setting on the west side of the map, go to the east side and it will be lighter. and vise versa for the few moments its dark.

Depends on the time in the arena. If it's morning, go east. If it's afternoon, go to the west.

As if it were like noon somewhere in the middle. Dawn or dusk---It's still too dark to see! Early morning or late afternoon is only marginally better.

Its too bad that HTC spent so much time working on the "night time" and getting the stars right and everything and so many people hate it so much. :frown:
-
Fug I think it looks super cool as ####. I just don't see it's value in at least the fighter component of our game. Ya just can't see and that's where the coolness ends.

I could see the enemy icons as I came in higher than them but couldn't see the planes, I guessing looking up against the sky they could see my plane but looking down against the ground I couldn't see them. Gonna have to test it next time,
+1 for no nite
PS in real nite fighting shouldn't I have been able to at least see the exhaust flames from their planes when I got closer?
-
I think the problem with the night stems from the same problem of not being able to see aircraft as well anymore it's just more people notice it and dislike it at night...aircraft blend into the background more now

Maybe if they added aspects to facilitate more night combat - like searchlights and flares - guys who like to fight might actually stick around after the sun sets

I agree that looks cool, but I think it was a huge waste of time and effort. The only place I can see it paying off is in scenarios IF they used navigation direct from the stars.
I think the time they used in the stars/night they could have used to flesh out the sound system better.

+1. Aesthetics would go a long way to increase night flying. Some other things like brighter flashes from guns/ord impact, fires on destroyed objects, exhaust flame, cockpit night lighting. But it's all kinda pointless with the moon as bright as the sun in the cockpit and gamma changing defeating the purpose of it being Dark.
I agree with the sentiment cool for events/not really MA in current form.
-
After reading Deighton's "Bomber" years ago I think it would way cool to have a purpose built night fighter arena with ground controllers and close range airborne radars. It'd rule for that.
But then again the first time we tried the ground controller thing in BoB I signed right up for that slot thinking it'd be a cool twist on things. First target? The radars! Broad daylight. Poof. Waste of those Saturdays lol!

I enjoy the night.
I like the immersion and the night time also allows for a change of strategy. GVs can get more done, etc.
Also a great excuse for people to get up from their chairs and stretch their legs if they are having too hard of a time.
Adjusting gamma settings may also improve the experience
I would, however, also be fine with always having a full moon night, more of a purple night vs true darkness. Airceaft exaust and such would help too, as me tioned above.
Keeping night = perfect excuse for nightfighters which many people have wanted for some time. They could improve the icon appearance (during night)for their pilots and can relay that to others.

However: For the navy types, and with all the new boats, you would be able to replicate the night actions at Guadalcanal, Bouganville and the Phillippines, as wild examples.
Of course, this ought to be in a boutique navy arena. I observe that Jaeger and Bustr, and perhaps others, are already working on such a fabled place.

No, Hitech suggested along with all the details to create battleship task groups that I add one group for every CV group on my MA terrain. And attach them as second task groups to each port on the terrain. There are 9 of them and they are all Iowa class, not boutique class capitol ships. And each bbtsg0 group has one CV in it that you can launch birds off of.

most of the time I will log off when it is night time.
maybe just dusk and dawn?
-
I log off too- a bit annoying if i only have an hour to play though.
-
I like night. It makes me approach fights in a different way. That's my time to use the all black bat- hurri 1.
-
Love the night time, it is well done. It is distracting in that while I'm flying, I try to find the constellations. So far I have only found two of the three stooges and Agua man.

Whaaa? Hate the night? I LOVE it. (sigh). BTW - I'm flying regularly again in the MA.
And yes, they're working on it. :x

It's not so bad once you hit gamma 2.0 but it is irksome.
My personal preference would be to make the MA times be between the hours where it stops being a "cockpit full of urine" view, but that's just me.

just logged in got 2 kills then it got dark. I am gonna go watch tv. let those who love the night play among themselves.

Don't fear the night... RULE THE NIGHT. It is the perfect time to get those buffs up and climbing for that dawn raid. The perfect time to position the GVs for a blitz. I LOVE THE NIGHT.

Night time is only as good as the players using it.
example, most people just use the gamma slider during night and whala no more night time.
it would be good to not allow people to use gamma sliders, but then they will just increase brightness on their monitors.
easiest way to approach night time is simply turning the game off, for people that dont want to fly at night.
I personally would like to see the following happen for night time.
1. cockpit lighting
2. friendly tagging decreases to 3k
3. maybe some friendly lights o n wings etc for friendlies and enemies over 3k
4. enemy icon range decreases to 3k
5. enemy lights blinking red or just a E Icon until you get within 3k.
6. searchlights from ground bases would be awesome however towns kept dark woth only some twinkling of some person who didnt get the message to black out their windows this drawing a big bullseye on their positions _ happenned to biebesheim am rhein , gernsheim am rhein and many other small towns in that area when US was trying to bomb darmstadt and the train depot there in what was formerly called kelley barracks.
7. 262s and 234s have some type of red orange on their engines
8. when you look into the cockpit of another aircraft top gun style you should be able to see some lighting there, maybe the pilot should be smoking a cigar ??
while we add all of this, lets make night time reeeeaaaally dark, to the point where you cannot see the ground or anoything within 6k,
for gvs
1. sparks while on concrete
2. chemlight markers or small ligts on top
3. reflection of binoculars and turret sights while pointed at you.
the light marker would be the equivelant of the light inside the vehicle shining through the periscopes of the tanks.

I like the night time and the clouds, it feels like there is some weather now too, at least what seemed like updrafts I have encountered a few times. New towns, new scenery, new maps, new bases, new rides. Lots changed but the core remains the same. Still fun times.
I just came back after not playing for years and the only thing I don't like about the new stuff is my old account got deleted from inactivity so I lost my name and perks. Building it back up though.

I like night as well. It's not that long and it increases the pucker factor when flying into enemy occupied space.
-
sorry FESS doesent look like its going to happen---if they were going to take nighttime away they could have done it last week, when the night cycle was messed up
-
For the last few times I have played the night has actually been acceptable. I commented on it and someone told me that was just the placeholder while they sorted the 'real' night out.
Not a biggie, I will just continue to log off and others will continue to enjoy it.
-
theres always something to cry about......smh :bhead
about two months ago there was a giant furball that lasted like 2-3 hrs. rook CV vs nit field. all furball no buffs nor porking ect. and when it got really dark nobody left it kept going and it was epic! best furball ever

Nighttime is a blast - if you haven't figured out how to have fun at night you aren't trying.

I know how to have fun at night, I log then head to the bar to drink a few and play pool.

I was gonna say they did something to the Knight-it seems to not last as long or cover much area..which saddens me because I wanted longer nights---it's the length of time the dusk and dawn are on, I think those 2 segments individually are longer than the night
-
but I love the night...especially when it rains

I love the night,
the day is ok,
and the sun can be fun,
but I live to see those rays slip away! - BOC

Yes, exhaust flames would be cool, and visible only at closer ranges .... really though NO ICONs beyond 1000 would be even gooder!
