Ah... no.
There's no basis in any of the various universes of reality for massive use of day VFR fighters in NIGHT combat. I'm sure you'll remember that bombing raids were switched to night (with even more horrendous results with respect to bombing accuracy) to get away from the day VFR fighter threat. That would be because there was essentially no threat from day VFR fighters operating against bombers at night. Ever heard of any massive Day Fighter V Day Fighter combat at night in WW2 either? No, I didn't think you had.
My problem with it is that it gives me two options. Game the game with a gamma adjustment, which makes things barely usable... or don't game the game and have it be unusable, given my old eyes.
If you like night, well, good for you. How about making night start at say midnight Grapevine, Texas time and last till 0600 Grapevine time? Then those who love it can REALLY have an opportunity to fully enjoy it?
And the rest of us who don't can just play at the normal primetime hours in daylight... that time during which most of the day VFR fighters actually fought?
