I have no idea if this has already been thought of or if it already in the game(if it is somehow I have never seen it), but I think it could be fun for a map to take place at or near night time. It does sound a little hard with it being dark and all but I honestly believe this could be a cool addition to the variety of gameplay.

it would befinitely be painful
you couldnt really see anything on most maps and snipers, MGs, camping tanks… would be extremely broken
Depends how dark would be night. But i remember night battles from War Thunder…

Imo night battles could work in pacyfic war.
Star shels and flares would lit different parts of the map for about a minute . Might be cool.

Night battles aren’t gonna work because the devs added a Gamma Correction setting which let’s you cheese dark environments and see with much better visibility than if it were at default.

I think night battles would work out in a CQC map with lamps illuminating the streets. We could still have a dark sky, and you could still hide in buildings and dark corners, but majority of the fighting would take place in an illuminated setting.
I think it would also be a lot of fun in open maps too, but I am not sure of what could be done about the gamma issue, perhaps the limit could be lowered, or maybe there could be an overlay so that the visibility is the same for everyone, no matter the gamma. However that comes with its own issues. Maybe it could be an optional event? However I’m not sure if it would be safe from exploits even if they removed the gamma setting (such as through external software, or file modification).
Hopefully one day we will see tracers whiz by like lasers, watch burning planes light the night sky, watch flamethrowers make a house glow, get blinded by explosions from artillery and tanks, and watch planes strafe in awe.

I’m all for this idea. Theres many good suggestions here to make it work.
Star shells and short duration lights, the battle would be frantic and chaotic for a minute or two, and then die down to the occasional firefight when squads bump into each other in the dark. Then another flare, and the fun begins again.
Or make it like the night maps in World at War, where there is just enough ambient light to not seriously impede your vision, but it’s dark enough to where you know you’re on a night map.
This right here, W@W was one of my all time favorite ww2 games, and they had some of the best night maps that actually felt fun to play.
World at War was my all time favorite game ever…until this one. I still play W@W from time to time, you can still find games on the weekends.
What was that one map called…Hellfire? It was at night and it was in Berlin? Loved that map.
I think there was a map with Submarines in it too…Sub Pen, I think it was called.
They also had a Makin Atoll night map too. These maps were dark, sure. But they had just enough light to where it didn’t impede on your gameplay to much.
not to ruin the party,
but it’s a no from me.
sometimes it’s already hard for me to see people in bushes due to their uniform ( which i’m not really complaining. it’s realistic after all. that’s why camos are a thing after all ).
but i can’t see my self enjoy night matches where i can’t see shit and leads to bots do all the work because they don’t have those issues in the first place.
but hey, if there are way more people that like it and wants it, w-why not?.
although, it would make me leave with unpleasant experiences.

If the devs get to the point where we can filter which maps and battles we want to participate in then yeah I don’t have a problem if they want to add night maps/battles …
But only if we can opt out … not if you force it on me … and yes now with the addition of XP boosters maps and games are kind of forced on you now …
