    Too foggy, unrealistic.

    Sun rays are blazing through your eyes with most of the time weather is too foggy. I've been to DC and VA for 2 years and never seen such fog, not once. If such fog happens it should be a rarity, not like 50% of the time! I struggle with HDR, can't imagine others playing on SDR.

    It's a game, not a weather simulation. I've never been to DC but I m pretty sure a complete day isn't 1 hour long.

    Troll off, I really like the fog here

    I like the visuals of the fog but from playing-point of view, it's too thick and sometimes I cannot see further than 6m.
    Even in real life, the fog, especially in cities is not that thick and strong.

    but this is a GAME, not simulator.. so take it as is it.i really like it, especially in heavy rain, or even sandstorm.. unusual for real DC? i don't care, it's looks awesome and it played hard on that moments.
    and this weather situation could be in Survival mode, i guess.

    Does the fog (and other sight-impairing circumstances) affect NPCs/AI ?

    I guess you haven't seen any True Sons either, nor Dark Zone.

    Personally I really like how the weather has been implemented in the game. I liked the snowstorm in Div1, and I like the different storms here in Div 2 even more.

    Yes, played the Roosevelt Island Stronghold a while ago. The Black Tusks didn't even notice me when the rest of my squad was busy shooting on one side. I was picking off the snipers at one of the towers there and any enemy that that was trying to outflank them. Didn't notice I was there and they got out flanked.

    The visuals are great with or without the fog. Fog can be pushed a bit to be like rain, less often. Plus it makes it harder to spot the last hunter, or when you're attacking a level 4 control point facing the sun. Speaking about fog, in my region it can get extremely foggy during monsoon season (summer) in the mountains, barely see anything beyond 6-10 meters. Such fog could happen, but DC is not London, even London won't get thick fog that often.
