Perhaps some of these...

[texace]

I got to thinking and I came up with something. HTC...do you plane to have any of these?

---Night in the MA (doubtful)---

• headlights for the vehicles with respective light cones.
• navigation lights fo the planes
• Nav lights for the boats.
• Proper cockpit lighting (inst. and the red light)
• reduced icon range with just an airplane's country.(use lights as guide)
• moon reflection in ocean

---Water---

• Landing craft(I know)
• varied CV classes
• better wake effects
• ships rolling and pitching a little bit.

Yes I know that coding all of these requires a hell of a lot of time, but maybe in future versions?

Whatcha think?

Some nice ideas. Arent the gauges illuminated anyway?
The 6K icons at night *have* to go. Reduced them down to 3k or so, and only have type showing up at 1.5 or so. To do night properly we need night-fighters, and we aint got none, so maybe we have to be less severe on the icon issue for playability sake.

Night has to come to AH. It just has to  

It is a niche for massive and fun ground battles, when radar planes are introduced the action will be intense!

/and heck, perhaps even NIGHT carpet bombing would be introduced. NO vis of ground targets from 10k (its too dark), so have some PATHFINDERS dropping flares so the main lancaster formation just drops around it. Weee!!!!
