Cloud Cover, Weather...etc - What forces should I look out for?

[BotaBing]

I've looked through all the game info, and been flying nightly for a few days now, and I've got a few questions...

#1 - Is there ever significant cloud cover? I would love to dodge in and out of clouds, or to think that our base is safe from bombing because of bad weather, etc, but I've yet to notice any effect from clouds.

#2 - Is rain, wind, lightning, etc ever a factor in the game?

#3 - Are there any other random realistic issues that come into play such as Mechanical Failure, Bad Ordinance, etc?

Thanks

There seems to be a single cloud bank that roams around.  Still it IS fun to fight in, or try to bomb through, but does reduce frame rate significantly.

No wind or other weather -- yet.    

I get bad ammunition pretty often, but no one else does.

Currently, the cloud cover roams over an area where not many people run into them.  This will be fixed for the next version.

Superfly, don't want you to give away too much, but will the alt of these clouds vary?

Here's hoping.
