NVD are davailable by default, no need to unlock it.And flares have been removed.
Does it mean it’s time to bring the night battle back? XD
Don’t let her only in RB with high BR! I miss her so much! X(
BTW, thank you for your work <3

I think night Battles are fine as an option for higher BRs.
But what do you wanna do at lower BRs in a night battle where more tanks will not even have NVDs? I think it is fine to do something like that in a custom battle with some friends but not as a nescesarry thing you will have to deal with during regular matches, especially as a new player.
Night battles were removed not too long ago because they were too unpopular. I do not think that NVD changes will do anything here. But runing a pole on that topic would be interestig ig.

The option to participate is perfect, so people can decide if they want to play night battles or not.
Would be great to have the same option for Air RB.

Since we have the option, we can let everyone choose if they want any at lower brs

I can understand why they were removed, but I’m glad they’re still an option at higher tiers.
I have the option enabled but sadly rarely get night battles. Like once every month I get a couple of Night battles in a row. That’s it. I wish they made it less rare… :/

6.7 would still be the lowest i could go for night battles
once a month? man you have bad luck then I get them extremely often compared to how often I get smaller teams (literally like 3 times since that came out)
The flares were pretty cool, I’d be welcome to seeing them come back on lower BRs where NVD isn’t available. All still as an option, of course.

that would make sense
Its really annoying… I dont think ive ever gotten a small scale air match either lmao…
Low tier battle at Night? That’s called I take a low tier to top tier and troll cause it’s funny. Also NVD sucks in game to bright I can’t tell a bush/rock from a tank so I don’t use the junk anyways.
It’s rly tooooooooooo rare :/
Even makes me wonder: does Snail Planet not have nights???
Instead of continuously matching the same map (which I don’t object to because it saves server resources), why not allow day and night variations? That would help a lot
I for one, am really glad it’s optional - as I do not enjoy night battles at all.
Maybe for those who do enjoy it, and are sad that they are rare, perhaps they could add something like a +10% RP boost on night battles to encourage more people to enable the option.
Nights are rare because most players dont have the option turned on.
They will become more common if more players want them.
I doubt gaijin would ever add an rp reward for that sadly. They want to keep the ground grind as rough as possible… :/
True.
I think the profile picture / title rewards were a nice first step, but there probably needs to be more stuff coming every now and then, to keep incentivizing people who don’t like night battles, to keep having night battles selected.
I find it weird that such a low amount of people want to play night battles… I really like it as CAS is more challenging and TV guided weaponry dont work in night battles
I can’t speak for others, but the reasons why I don’t enable it :
-
Hearing problems, and hearing opponents is much more important in visually limited environment.
-
I generally find sitting in Gunner / CITV thermals all the time to feel quite claustrophobic with the lower resolution.
-
On tanks without thermals, I really just dislike burning my eyes with the green NVD filter lol.
-
Harder to visually spot space climbing CAS, who in turn, are way more effective with their thermal TGP’s.
-
Harder to visually spot / stop people rushing down the flanks and spawn camping.
-
Just a general feeling that the heightened mental effort of playing it, isn’t worth identical rewards to easier / more enjoyable daytime fighting.
Flares flashbanging you, and constantly forcing toggling NVD on and off was another huge reason, so glad to see that’s gone at least.
Flares are removed now, though, I guess, so that’s a plus, but all your other criticisms are very valid. In general, the ground grind is so horrible that I find myself just playing the most effective way instead of the fun way…
