Night Time

I know this has been asked before but I never heard a response.

Can we minimize night time in the CT?  Please?  Purty please, with sugar on top?

Got to agree on this one. Was in Ct last night and numbers were good, night came (I didn't time it) and it lasted waaay too long. I checked about halfway through and numbers had fallen off by at least half.

Would be nice if it could be shortened :D

unfortunately, the past 2 days both arenas seem to have hit night times approximately the same time.

but other than that, i think night should be either drastically shortened or removed in toto from CT...

just my 2 cents.

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

imho, night time is good, as long as it's not toooooooo long.  my favorite "times" to fly, however, have to be sunrise-ish and sunset-ish.  much better than just outright noon, again, imho.

that is allskie.

I agree. Until we have nightfighters and real radar modeled in there, nightime should be removed.  Even at dusk, I can't fly.  I would have to turn on enemy icons.  So I just land.

So, I'm the only one who enjoys hunting other AC at night? Or tank battles at night? I enjoy the full darkness. Oh well feels good to be different than the pack on occasion.

I don't mind it when its dark, but even I have to agree that it was lasting a /little/ too long. The only reason that I say that, though, is because no one is willing to come out and play at night and it gets boring just sitting there.

If people would suck it up and fly at night, like they did/do a lot rl... it would be fine as is.

And for my two cents, full night for at least thirty minutes. Prefferably an hour.

I don't like night time myself and would prefer it to be very short or not at all.  

IMHO it is better served in specific events such as Snapshots where the CM's can adjust the DAR for the night time, for the side that has the night fighters.

I enjoy it but it did seem a bit too long the other day, or night I guess.

night time in this game is my least favorite aspect of the game.  I like getting pilot wounded blackouts more than flying at night.

I'm with Eagler.  short dusk/short dawn with no night in between.   CTs have used that setup before, and it was really nice.

I'm here to have fun.  Night isn't fun, and is instant cause for me to logout.
