Nightfighting what needs to be changed

[Sachs]

OK well I have been thinking and rethinking this for quite sometime.  One thing I find most disappointing is icons being present in night time.  I do not go near the ground or ground fight or try and turn fight near the ground but I hunt for would be sneakers of buffs or attack missions.  But it is not hard trying to find a con on the deck when you see his icon pop up then the tracking begins and soon it is all over.  Make it a lil harder for us, get rid of icons until d 400-D 500 that would seem fair.  You still have dot dar but that is if you are within range of using it.  

Another plane that I think is essential is the He-219 (or any other nightfighter butI like this one), well how would you implement the upard firing 30mm?  Simple treat it as a turreted position with aim site.  The guns do not swivel but it would allow you to get under neath a pesky buff.  This would of course be negate with the current icons.  So night time no icons and as it gets today icon range starts to increase.  SO what do you think?

Make Night a little longer, fix the map so it is not dimed(same for bad wheather). the sight for the jazz Musick guns could simply be painted on the canopy above the piolets head as it was in real life, err look up.
 I am all for longer night, mabby a lighting effect similer to that in janes WW2 fighter's now that looked cool

as long as night remains short i'll be happy, i personally hate it, i have my opinion i just hate it.  I like to fly fighters i like to fly during the day when you can fight well.  Night time is usually when i run to the fridge get a snack and watch the history channel a bit.

S!

Don't eliminate the Icons, reduce them to
D 1.0  at night.

Disable all dot radar for dayfighters.  Allow DAR for all planes.

Enable dot radar for onboard radar equipped Nightfighters so they can see target dots on their map which are within distance 10.0 of them.

Give planes like the Lancaster III radar detection equipment which tells them when a Nightfighter is within distance 5.0 of them.

Build the He 219. (actually easier and more historically representative to build the Ju88G7)

Let the fun begin!

S!

Of course include the Mossie VI as a plane with onboard radar.  So it can be stalking those nasty Huns while they are stalking the Lancasters...  

[Karnak]

Mossie VI would be quite poor at that task due to its single stage Merlins.

A purpose built Mosquito NF would be better, say the Mosquito NF.XXX which entered service in March, 1944.

oh yes I love the night even though icons are at uber ranges you can still sneak up on people and blast them with ease at night and some don't even engage because they do not see your dot.

I'm up for reducing icons at night say to 1.0k like it was mentioned but I think we'll find ourselves to settle for something in the territory of 3k icons due to the Quaker children having something to say about it. but any reduce icon cues at night would be really great to see in AH which would add a new dimesion of game play to the game at AH night.

i'd like to have one of those vertical cannons on a plane now

would be a great way of dealin with lancs
