I’m kind of fine with vehicles below 10.0 not seeing night battles, but them just not getting NVDs is insane.

I got the feeling you weren’t here before the changes made to night battles.

23

I’ve been here since 2018, when the game came to Xbox. :P

Now that night battles are optional, there’s zero excuse to not enable them at all BRs, in all modes.

24

And the longer this policy is in place, the harder it will be to reverse.

I’d love to have WW2 Night Battles enabled again (with less flares), it would make the introduction of Gen 1 NVDs impactful.

26

Flares should just be removed, they are so bright you are constantly turning on and off your NVDs, it basically turns one area of the map into a day battle where everybody inside is highlighted to the enemy outside that area.

WW2 night battles would be fun, all you would have to do is make it brighter by having a full moon and no cloud, which would still be night and have the same difficulties, just less punishing with no NVDs, which you just opt out of if you dont want them.

I really disagree with you about flares, they are key to night fighting with and without NVD, and they add an interesting random element that can make battles fun. Only TVD don’t require ambient light to function, so flares do become less important at higher BRs.

Remove night battles as they are bad in the current state, take the time to make them better

You brought night battles back as an option, that’s good, now make them better.

You are getting rid of historical features and therefore making night battles worse? Don’t do that

In reality;

Please remove (poorly implemented) Night Battles, and replace with (well implemented) Night Battles.

Just give us low BR night battles. Night battles only fun at low BR.

I’ve always been a fan of night battles, and have never had an issue with them, even since I started 3-4 years ago.

33

Yes but, I’d say they need to change the rate at which they’re dropped. The moment one expires/burns out, it’s not likely that another one will instantly be let off. Better still we could make it entirely dependent on SPGs firing Illum shells, or perhaps make it a one time use consumable in a similar way in which artillery is employed for vehicles.

I though that night battles were not all that popular until they started giving rewards for playing them.

Well when you have something you enjoy you dont need to go to the forums to talk about it, but if its something you hate, well theres going to be a lot more topics about, wa wa wa night battles suck, I can’t see

Occasional night battles are just fun, and if a player doesn’t like them then now we have opt-in controls. Separate issue but I’d enjoy night battles at all BRs.

This is a very bad policy change. Even if it’s not very useful, all vehicles that had NVD historically should receive it, no matter what. There is no reason to compromise on realism just to deny them access to NVD. Even if night battles don’t get reintroduced to all BRs, NVDs can still help with dark areas or if you choose to uptier the vehicle.

you act like that wasn’t a thing. Most people didn’t like them especially at lower tiers, that is why we have the current policy.
