The battle in Berlin lasted from April 25 to May 2 or thereabouts. It’d be hard to convince me there wasn’t at least
some clouds overhead at some point in that week
I like the skybox. I haven’t tried the new lighting yet, but it can always be brightened up slightly if it’s too dark. It seems like almost an overcast twighlight, and from all the bombings and fighting, it seems appropriate to have a dark haze over the battlefield. But more than that, it’s a nice atmosphere from an artistic standpoint; it makes it truly feel like the last stand of the German Army and it calls back to Berlin streets which is nice imo. I dig it, as long as it proves to be not too dark for gameplay.
Edit: I think overall, if you could find a skybox that was more “smoke covered” and less “overcast” it would be cooler. (Thinking like the images you see of
wildfires creating a haze over the city). But tbh, that might not be possible with the BF2 engine. And this is a fine substitute.
