There is only one problem with nights, is the unrealistic daylight u get when u increase u monitor brighness and shut off the light in ur room. Than its as if u fly at daylight.
From the experiences i hae with darkness of the night in AH, i must say, i think every fighter jockey that gets kills against an evading tgt or is even able to follow its movemet when he is farther away than 400 yrds, must be using the monitor brighness to be capable of that. Since i dont like using such cheap tactics i usually log off or hop into a buff for a long range strike when night comes up.
