LoneRunner -> Please fix the weather (8/24/2021 9:39:38 PM)

I think we need to continue our discussion of weather in WaW. The current system allows luck of shifting weather to be too big a factor in the game. I've been involved in battles around Perm, in the middle of the USSR, during winter months, and watched the weather go from snowing during my turn, to clear and sunny during my opponent's turn, back to snow and mud in mine. And even when I've benefited from such weather shifts, I didn't like it. In my current MP game, I've invaded France. The invasion was supposed to be supported by a large air armada in England. Nope. For the past two, three turns my fighters, tac air, bombers are sitting on the runways in pouring rain while USA units get massacred. Then to add insult to injury, during the last enemy turn, it rained in England and was clear in France, so German air pounded my troops while most of my fighter pilots played cards. Seriously, let's fix the weather. I suggest more graduated shifts in the weather. For example, rain leads to mud or rain and mud. Snow leads to frozen and on to mud or on to blizzard or back to snow. The shifts should not be huge where your turn is a blizzard and your opponent's turn is clear. Rain and snow should not shut down air operations. Perhaps air operates at half effectiveness. Maybe an occasional blizzard or typhoon/storm could completely shut down air. But it doesn't last more than a month. Thanks for listening. I'm glad to hear your ideas.
