Seriously, this fog crap (Air RB), this needs to stop

Night battles? Fog battles? Night-Fog battles?? Dude, you have 2-3 guys smack ground every match even in bright daylight.
You need ask yourself a few question
Who asked for this?
Does it benefit the game in any way?
Would people push the “No fog” button 100% of the time if you introduce it (YES!)

This is not realistic, missions where you need to hug the ground would not be initiated in these weather conditions.
You introduced 50 m multipathing change, every patch brings new missiles, now the air is full of event Mirage Derbys at 12.3 + and then you add - more fog maps. What a brilliant combo!
Most of ppl have barometric altmeter and not radar /realistic (why is this not default?). Sometimes fog hugs the ground, even right in front of airfield! This is insane.
If you want to add safe lane for bombers, add the fog on the map edges. Even this is questionable if necessary.
Reduce the fog 10x and reduce fog density on maps (area affected) by 3x
Let’s start from there

No us Q5 mig 21 and F4’s didnt pay money for good premiums with good missiles to fight the other team like plebs clawing at tiny RP gains for 4+ kills a game…We gave Gaijin money so we could freely bomb bases without interference from IR missiles or people chasing us with guns…The clouds allow us HIGHLY SKILLED PLAYERS to not be seen or attacked while we top the team in points not fighting anyone.

Honestly I kidnda expected more people would say “Yea! frikkin clouds, who likes them!”
People are always commenting negatively in the game, content creators are mentioning it all the time
Meta pushes you low and you can’t see crap
This morning 5x30% boosters 4 times I got Mysterious valley, there are fox 3s everywhere!
Maybe if we all ban the map, they would get the message.

I’ve seen the hypothesis presented that Warthunder lacks the proper ability to set different conditions for different game modes.

Ergo, clouds were introduced to make GRB CAS more challenging to do. This leaked over to ARB and ASB.

I am inclined to believe this given how a few updates ago changes to AAB/ARB introduced red warning texts to ASB somehow.

I’m also inclined to believe this due to where and how the clouds are placed - a continuous blanket covering a whole 64x64 map at 1km altitude up to 2km with minimal variance.
