No more in-game nights on Friday prime time.

Game dusk/night is a serious detraction for me.  If its past 5pm in-game, I usually log and come back in a few hours if I can. 

The other thing that might help is when a new map comes up, make sure the game time is set to 8 or 9 am.  The last time I was present for a map reset, I logged back in after the map reset and the local game time was already 4pm.

I will wait until light again to start to video the fights. It's just too dark for any kind of quality video.

No depth perception over water either. Planes are already hard enough to shoot down as it is for most people. Night time fighting is extremely difficult.

Friday nights are typically the peak activity in the MA from week to week, but that potential action is severely choked when the game clock rolls into night time.

I propose coding a condition into the game clock that once a map first begins, the game clock is set so that if it were to stay up until prime time Friday, that 9PM EST Friday is 12:00 noon on the game clock.

Might want to reset the game clock to 07:00 instead of 12:00.  That would produce about 2 hours of real-time game daylight at the current clock multiplier setting.

Good point.

Do you know if the game clock runs at a consistent ratio to real time?

Might be a good idea to open this wish up to "daylight in primetime everyday"

Not sure what the purpose of night is in gameplay..

With icons and dar nothing is hidden

It's pretty to look at but agree it shouldn't be on during peak times

Now if icon range was cut in half during night that might make it interesting

Not a fan of the night. And not just because it seems to find me just about every time I log onto the game. It's become a running gag. Ah jeez Drano's here... It's gonna get dark now! It does!

I appreciate the work that went into creating it. It looks awrsome.
But it drives people away. It actually attracts ZERO people. There should be NOTHING at this state of this game that makes even one player want to log. It should never occur in the main arena. As in--NEVER. Not twenty minutes. Not a long dusk. NEVER.

DITCH IT ALREADY!

Because people asked for it for years.

When Santa started flying on Christmas eve, the night turned dark when Santa started to fly.  People said, "This is cool.  We should have this during the regular game." 

So now we get about half an hour (?) of sundown, darkness, and then sunup, a couple of times during regular game time, and people hate it and want it gone.  You can't please everybody.

Since it's been here, I can't recall ever seeing or hearing someone on channel say something to the effect of "Oh good, it's dark!"  Christmas is one thing, when you've got an hour or 2 to play is another.

My personal opinion- either give VR players the ability to adjust gamma like you can on a monitor, or ditch it.  Either would work for me.

I have mixed feelings about it.  My time in game is limited, so if I login and find its late afternoon or dusk game time, I'll most likely log and came back later if I can.

Having said that, one time (before I got VR) I was playing scout in a GV and I was hiding in the darkness in the hills overlooking an enemy town when a formation of Lancasters let go on it.  The brilliant string of bomb explosions across the town in the dark was among the cooler things I've seen in AH.

I'd just like to run into it less often.  If every new map that came up after a reset started at game time 8am, that would help a little.

easy fix in the settings. thats all.

How about some “HOW TO” on how that’s done?

If you're not using VR, go to Options and change Gamma to 2.0.  It will brighten the screen, things will be washed out but I find I can follow the bandit reasonably.

If you're using VR, it doesn't work that I know of, but I would be very interested if anyone knows a way.

What do you kids do in RL when it gets dark?  🤣
Get over yourselves.
