oh there are
and there used to be even more
the reason they've reduced their frequency is because they are by far the worst kind of battles to play. up till rank VI, half the tanks won't get NV, so you will see almost no night battles
after rank VI, half the players have thermal vision, so when you do get night battles, you are simply crushed by rush-players with thermals

hhhmmm isnt this stupid ? haha

Sadly, they do exist.

Actually they happen a lot more now at higher tiers, way more than before.

Which is annoying when you're driving a Stock Tank with no NV or Thermals

Most of it is at 9.0 BR+, there are some occasions of it where it`s so completely black that you dont see absolutely anything and people who have not unlocked their night vision mods yet will simply J out and leave the match right after spawning in because it`s impossible to do anything, you see bunch of tanks exploding around you right after spawning in.
I think it`s beyond stupid and unfair towards people who didnt buy their way into 9.0 but it`s Gaijin so they dont care as usual.

The (edit: higher tier) night battles are really fubar as is.

There's usually a mixture of NV & thermal sight equipped tanks - and it's not even close to a fair fight. Thermal sights offer an overwhelming advantage over light intensification NV sights.

It's so imbalanced that the vast majority of LINV players J-out immediately; and I for one do not blame them at all. In fact, I'd rather they J-out then for me to shoot them using my thermal sights. Worse than shooting fish in a barrel imo.

I don't even recall any of my German Tanks having Thermal unless the 2A5 has it (Half way getting it)... I'm just stuck with regular NV but it sucks so bad that the moment I exit cover I get 1 shot because they see me with Thermal and I can't see Jack sht with NV. I will admit, I J out of Night Matches

They happen, just extremely rare. Maybe get one 1/50 matches or so but i usually play tiers 2-5

But here i remain, the last WT player who likes night battles. Really wish they had more battles in weather conditions besides bright and sunny at noon 98% of the time. Its pleasant sitting in the rain hearing the pitter patter against your tank. Shame 99% of who plays seems to be 95 years old with brightness turned to 0

Thermal vision was stupid idea to implement to begin with because most people use it at daytime to spot you with no effort.

Jep. And if you are a 8.7/ 9.0 tank without thermals (KPZ/mbt 70/ Leo A1A1/ Radkampfwagen/ OF 40/ t62 the list goes on)
And face the CV 90 105 which has Thermal vision for binoculars cuz reasons you can either
- get x-rayed
- use ULQ to even out the Thermal imbalance

[PFC Demigo [29th ID]]

Yesh so only very few gets Thermal while Majority uses NV? Now that really feels like a P2W if only Premium gets the Thermal unless the 10.3 Tanks have Thermal for Free as Research Tech but even then that's just unbalanced.

I don't get how you can like those battles
any obscurants over the battlefield give an unfair advantage to ULQ players who don't simulate haze / lens flares/ or rain.
IMO the only good place to play when its raining or foggy is in CQC, which I absolutely hate
