When you look at the minimap in the down left corner, you can see night and day pass by. In january you see it as a wave moving round the globe representing shorter day - longer night north of the equator, and vice versa in the south (where it is summer that time of the year, as we all know).
Now, as the game proceeds to march 21st (equinox), you expect to see a perfectly vertical dark shaded band from north to south, moving east to west, representing exactly 12hr day and night, in every region of the world. But then you look at the minimap still seeing day-night ratio as it is during mid january, and in june more like mid february. So, when I launch a German attack in Russia somwhere in june, i've maximum 9 hours of daylight to accomplish instead of the 16-18 hours daylight in real Russian summer!! Minding the severe penalty you have in a night attack,I think this situation has an enormous impact on the game, and is completely unrealistic.
It's strange that I did not find it mentioned before in all the other threads I've read.
Reactions?
