Scarnhorst vs category 5 typhoon

That’s right! We have so many beautiful weather conditions in the game, which are probably only needed for the test site. What’s the problem with adding this beauty to real battles?
I’d take regular clear night battles over the evening+thunderclouds matches that are way too common. However, I would hate to play on a thunderclouds+night map in anything below 12.0.
You still need tracers, and cockpit lighting is useful in low light conditions in sim.
That’s why I suggested making this feature “optional”, by checking a box, like they did with tank night battles.
battleships historically speaking did not have weather prediction systems like today so it be accurate as they have to sail through them
Boys, you are getting too far into the world of fantasy and Gaijin is still trying to stick to reality a little…
Typhoon? … here is an interesting link …
Full night battles, air battles under a bright moon… great idea!
Battleships and weather? They had information via radio, from ground radar stations, from air reconnaissance, all via coded radio messages that they received (aka the Enigma system, for example)
And most importantly, if the first radars were able to detect anything, it was the noise and disturbances on the radar displays (i.e. rain, fog, storms, etc…) But during the war, it was mostly taken as ballast that hindered the work of the radar, only after the war did someone think to deal with it more and that’s when the first types of weather radars began to emerge…

I think we have a lot of great lighting effects in the game, like the moon, the flames from the engine exhaust on piston planes, jet engines, bullet tracers, explosions on impact, and more. And all of this would look more atmospheric and impressive if it happened at night. Sometimes, for variety. And at the player’s discretion, by setting the appropriate flag “night battles”.
I literally had this discussion earlier lol
Fortunately we can pull it off in our event server but theres no rewards. just fun and a mild more balance than already in game
Heres a few screenshots of showing it off

Great idea! If they did this too, it would be absolutely amazing!
Very spectacular! The game is emotions. Emotions through the eyes, including. And all the effects of glow, explosions and shots, absolutely definitely look cooler at night!
The thing that comes to mind is the sinking of the Blucher in The Kings Choice
Would 100% recommend but that scene alone is the sort of vibe i wish naval had

Should change Cockpit lighting to just “Lighting” and have it effect both outer and inner lights. It makes the most sense really. also cool lights :3
Ideally they’re added together, as both are just simple visual (maybe mechanical) changes.

Those lights! If only they made them… I love the night and everything that glows. I have several neon signs at home and I love them every day.

This used to be the case until people got sick of not being able to see each other.
P61 noises!

It is annoying time and weather aren’t used enough. Air especially, maps themselves have a more minor impact on gameplay, compared to ground and naval and as a result we have far fewer maps.
If time and weather were used more proactively, you could have some really interesting matches with the current pool of maps. I’d kill for night battles in high tier ASB. Make using AB a tactical choice not just a fuel management choice.

I know but please, W. F. Halsey, not again
If there were night battles at lower BRs (maybe down to 3.7?) there would finally be use for the early radar systems on P-61 and the Me 110s, the night bombers would stand a chance (because not flying in broad daylight!)… this would be AWESOME!
