TOW: Nightfighting in WW2?

[dsawan]

Hi, all. has anyone ever thought of doing nightfighting in WW2 campaign? I currently have a WOI install with RAF bombers and Luftwaffe nightfighters. The atmospherics and lighting are good at night. Still missing certain variants of planes like the Do 17Z and Ju-188 nightfighter variants. But wasnt sure if this came up before. thx.

It's an older thread, you may or may not have seen it.

Hey! I just took a look at that old thread and had an odd thought. Not surprising, considering how many times I fell on my head as a child, adolescent, and an adult, but here it is: maybe the reason Baltika had day bombers show up to oppose his night fighter Hurricanes was because he didn't define any bombers as night_only. I wonder if it would work? Make some copies of each German bomber that would have done night raids and define these new planes as night only, just as he did for 1 Hurricane Squadron.

 

Or perhaps you could do a night only install, and create a campaign that contained only German night fighters and British night bombers. Or would the game happily create day missions for them, no matter who their defined?

 

I'll shut up now. Although, if it could be made to work, dsawan, I think it would be great, because, as you've said, the atmospherics are great.
