It’s really nice to see some changes being made here, will try out this week and report back later but sounds like it’s about 1 in 10 matches so far?

WE ARE NOW GAMING THANK YOU O’ SNAIL !

The ratio’s still 1 out of 10 / 20 battles, but it happens a lot more and happened a couple of times in a row for me, so that’s great.

I’ve also noticed there’s less people in those lobbies, which makes the round more interesting imo.

I still think it’d be a great idea to have a dedicated Night Battle queue, I’d gladly sit two to five minutes in a queue if I can play night only.

Alsoooooo… Night battle for air ?
Pretty please ?
Tracers looks soooo good.

Pretty sure playing at night increases the chance, got 3 night battles all close to each other

Do have the slider flipped on to opt in? Just want to double check =)

Has anyone noticed if the night map is only one particular map yet, my one an only one was ground zero I believe

I just double checked, it was a ground zero.

I’ve had 3 diff maps, but still only 4-5 NBs total. None today so far.

Wolfe have you had any luck? I’ve been doing ground RB since my last message an still can’t get another NB, I’m using USA at 10.3BR with night battles on, I’ve double checked an made sure I’m to the latest update on PS5, an I’ve restarted app after every 4 failed attempts.
I’m honestly at my wits end trying to get a night battle.
Is there anyone we can contact or message to try an have the issue actually resolved so everyone on this forum can do night battles or at the very least acknowledgement of the issue.

I have not had any NB’s today. As far as contacting people, I assume the mods/devs are seeing what we are saying here, as they already increased the odds. However, I still advocate for a NB only queue. I do not have any other advice but to keep posting your updates here, let us know if you do get a NB. (I would suggest only giving an update once a day as to not spam up the thread too much). GL o7

First night battle. Great work Gaijin. Now we just need to:

  • Remove flares
  • Lower minimum BR to 8.3

And it’ll be perfect.

it seems like the chance of getting night now is close to what it was before the removal. a step in the right direction

-But since it is optional i think the chance should be WAY higher.
no one is going to complain about getting to many night games since you can always opt out if you don’t want them anymore.
(maybe even give us a slider to choose how often we want them? maybe as an average appearance per x amount of games. ie “1 in 5 games” “1 in 2 games” “1 in 10” and so on)

-BR-limit should not exist at all in my opinion. (at the least be moved to like 8.3-8.7 somewhere)
it was a good idea when there was no choice but i think it would be a cool option to play in the dark with ww2 tanks. and as previously mentioned; you can always opt out.

-Flairs at 10.0 or above should not be there, it makes the thermal/nigh vision less impactful.
if anything it would be cool to give tanks the option to flair instead of artillery or even give flairs to those tanks that has flair launchers on them. (they could maybe work in the same way smoke does, limit number per tank, launched with a button and at a set distance and height). some planes even have flairs as an option instead of bombs that could be added to those CAS planes that have them.

i realize that some of these are really big and require months of planning, testing and implementation. but there is no reason for you to not add them to your next roadmap if a big majority of players want them. that way they know what is in the plan to be added and won’t complain as much/often.
even just flat out saying “no that is not in the pipeline” is better than silence. i would rather have a no than no info at all.

It’d be useful for 8.3 BR and lower tanks to be able to use visible light, from headlight and/or searchlight.

Many WW2 era tanks had lights of some sort, and post-war tanks like Leopard 1 and M48 had dual purpose IR/visible light illuminators.

Using visible light makes you an obvious target, sure, but that’s a tradeoff for seeing your target more clearly.

Strong searchlights can also blind/confuse enemies at close range, to the extent that would benefit gameplay (useful, but not harmful)

nice but when are gaijin gonna increase the chance? over 20 matches at 9.7 and not one night battle, increase the chance, this is criminally low

Say when you find a night battle at 9.7 because you wont, you have to play atleast 10.0
