any way to remove night?
so launched the first tank recovery mission, and 5 minutes in it turned into night makeing things quite more difficult, why is day night cycle a thing in a tank restoration game? is there any hidden stealt gameplay? can i hunt for nazi ghosts at night?

Yep, there is a Ger-man lurking at night ;)

We will add an option to disable day-night cycle on extractions ;)

nice, the flashlight seems inadequit for me. maby ww2 flares or draging that light from the garage would help aswell.

Thanks for the option as when you look for other bits outside the tank circle area it can be a real pain in the dark.

sorry for ressurecting ... wow 2 years and still always night
Yes I have to say the whole night thing is pretty stupid, I know yes tank extractions take hours, days, weeks, but from real life experience you do as little at night as you can, you don't want to lose anything in the dark, perhaps the devs can give us an option of if we want the night cycle, after all in the game right now you get very little time, heck half the time by the time the drone has done its scan of the area its dark already.

Also, PLEASE give us a better flashlight! I know we're dealing with tanks from the mid-1900's, but that doesn't mean we need to use flashlights from that era.
LED lights, please!

Thanks, I'm aware your statement is now 3 years old so where is this option? Did you forget to do it or can we toggle the timescale in the console?

It has been added and still waits to this day in the to do list on our road map - while working on another project. I am embarrased to still not add it for you guys. We will do a dev status at the beginning of next year and explain what we want to do

+1 for this disable night option, or at least change the time scale so it's not pitch black after 5 minutes.

Where is the disable-night option? Who thought darkness was a good idea? And I can't even go AFK and wait for morning because the moment I Alt-Tab away, the game pauses. Unbelievable. This is annoying enough to make me consider refunding this game.

One of the laziest developers I have ever seen. 4 years to add a day/night cycle or an option to remove your crappy night and dog water flashlight? That's just sad man. You should be ashamed.

I hate to be that guy but it's been 3.5 years and it's still not here. You probably just forgot about it, no worries. But hopefully, this can be a reminder. Great game tho
