Semi-exist, matches, however, do not last long enough for you to see it really at all. Also go make a proper in-depth suggestion.
Disregard. Misread it as you wanting a 12h period to pass within 20 odd minutes.
night → dawn / dusk → night could be a possible addition but again, it wouldn’t have a big impact since most matches are rather short.
Again, it’s a RNG mechanic. If it were purely visual and has no direct impact on gameplay, okay. But if you loose some electronics or your plane falls apart due to a lightning strike weakening your CFK components, it’s a no for me. Besides that, who’d be crazy enough to fly into a thunderstorm.
ASB and NEC are about 2 hours. NE if they fix the ticket bleeds could be around an hour quite happily.
That would be more than enough time for dawn to morning or evening to sunset
British Sea Harrier pilots usually :P
i like the idea but turning to night would suck.
I think the furthest dynamic weather ought to go is going between clear - stormy.
ALSO SERVER SIDE CLOUDS

Very brave pilots in 1982
I myself haven’t tried to fight in night IFR conditions. There are certain weather conditions in war thunder (overcast + late evening) that makes the match appear very dark and I can’t say that I enjoy it due to the constant fear of crashing into the ground / inability to have a good dogfight since you can’t see the enemy planes movements.
Without a better implementation of maps or TAWS, I personally would probably still hard pass.
Yeah, I am a rotor head. I get scared near mountains or if a cloud looks a little iffy. Them teetering heads are a sth i tell you.
I love the challenge of predicting where your foe is going to pop back up and the risk of being a lawn dart. much more dramatic than two people in space doing a rather safe two circle fight
The way i fly in WT would make a buccaneer pilot blush with how low i get. but i do get the hesitation, especially if you suffer from packet loss a lot.
If anything they’d need to add it the same way like they did it in GRB, as in it being a setting. There’s definitely a number of people who’d get annoyed after like 2 or 3 games

true. its not for everyone. A lot of air battles players just want to zombie for bases and then die to a head on or one circle against a spitfire or zero.
i can see much more volumetric clouds and their appearance mid-game not being liked because of that
Weather should interact with aircraft and its components and Flying munitions, Like in real life.
Sure, but at the same time, I kinda like the idea that you have to be tactical about the usage of afterburner. not from a fuel consumption PoV but from a stealth PoV. Let alone the fact that many have NVGs that are entirely pointless.
that just interests me in something like a tonka.
Definetly needs Ground Mapping Radar for that, but still interests me.
And especially for a gamemode like NE that has 1 map at the moment, you can make it feel like a few different maps by changing the weather and ToD, but the current implementation of weather just sucks
A setting is more than acceptable, but currently, there isnt even that much which is a shame
welp the last cloud update was 6 years ago
Yeah…at least contrails are a little more sensible these days
My personal imagining is that the visuals and thunder itself would be the debuff, along with the storm winds. Though the winds may be a bit too much… perhaps “edge of the storm”?
Lightning, on a slightly dusky map…
That would be epic, wouldnt care if it did absolutely nothing other than look cool

The rumble of thunder on the horizon, the gusts suggesting worse moving in, as the objective you’re guarding crawls into view…
Was that the rumble of a bomber you hear in the clouds, or a faraway murmer of the storm? Better have your keen vision stat leveled ;)

A mature cumulus nimbus will f you up. Extreme up and down winds, windshear, lightening, hail under the downwind anvil and in a multi-cell thunderstorm even a tornado.
And that is not even mentioning the icing risk

I think it’s safe to say something like a tornado isn’t a serious part of the suggestion lol
Maybe in a custom battle…
