Meh, cloud are just a dumb way of doing it. Warthunder would be better off with all clouds 10k ft+

Yet there are low flying Su25/Su39 and helis easily getting kills. Coulds didn’t solve anything.

Cockpit lighting barely helps.
Whole map was like this.
Lobbies seem to be stuck on “Evening” and “Cloudy” these past few days in sim.
Even in planes with some semblence of a virtual horizon (P-51s kind of have one), it’s super disorienting.

I played few sim battles saturday, few battles sunday but only one battle with these heavy clouds.
welcome to war grinder.
there on plane you will suffer from impenetrable clounds, while tankers have weather off by default.
Was mostly around EU evenings at BR 4.0 compatible lobbies for me.

If I’m to give my honest opinion, I think there should be more heavy clouds and fog. In air battles I as a bomber love to see high clouds (I play British so clouds are the nearest thing to night) and when there’s fog, fighters are simply just forced higher up in a sudden change in the situation (yes it’s happened to me before). As for ground battles, if planes can’t see the ground, then the SPAA are likely to not see the plane as well so it’s all kind of balanced out. I’m only specifically speaking for rank 2-3 though.
then you should watch the server replay and check if those guys are not cheating. Its quite easy to spot cheaters under this cirumstances.
had thunderstorm clouds… at 3,000 ft … wtf
Are you an old man per chance?
(Surprised no-one had thrown that out to be honest…)

I agree and I suggested low cloud on certain games years ago to counter what I saw as CAS overkill back then.I also think if implemented correctly its one of the few ways to shake of a bandit on your six (I can believe I actually said that)
I think maybe the issue is cloud not rendering consistently overall not its existence.
I liked the old fog in GRB on occasion too and the player bass whined that one away and we don’t seem to get it now. It was just nice for one game in ten maybe,same as having the sun in your face.
Yeah, CAS is getting spammed too much, and I worship the matches where low clouds makes only the worthy CAS players try to revenge bomb.
I like clouds…
-It is realistic to get lost in the clouds to opponents on a six…
-You can enjoy the game while looking from the cockpit…
-Clouds suppress CAS in aerial ARB, which should primarily belong to GRB, only marginally should have an effect in ARB…
- in ARB the target type should be for bombers and fighter-bombers only
- newcomers to the game, I would really save the clouds, about until br 4.0 …
… and I would like night air battles…

I like low cloud matches aswell since they make countering SPAA far easier whilst having little to no effect on bombing tanks. I just hate that it ruins dogfights
Desert clouds however will never make sense

But there are a few things that need tweaking, that’s true … All planes should have cockpit lighting, a while ago I was playing Horten and flying through a black cloud … total pitch black darkness and that’s bad …
Once upon a time during night battles it was really pitch black right from the start, no moon … and it was possible to fly through the cockpit, but most of the players from both teams ended up crashing …
Also the lights on the chassis were mentioned a while ago … this might not be bad, it would turn on/off automatically when the chassis is opened/closed…
I’m fairly sure they all do, but it doesn’t help in some situations, since the clouds can eat light.
If gaijin had proper tutorials on what instruments did what, and how to use them, people would crash less. But it isn’t easy to fly a plane without a horizon indicator or something similar without any view of the outside.

Clouds dont supress anything if theyre glitched into the ground level
+1 this thing is so retarded
