Good! I very glad the vid helped.

bstanko6 I checked ingame and no there is no switch to hide the alerts. You can drag and move them out of screen, but then the alert for active abilities like "silent running" or "battle stations" would be hidden as well.

Sorry, I don’t know how to help. I have a really old version.

Please see first page

If you're seeking for realism, then, at night:

- You can't see anything with binocculars, UZO nor persicopes, and hardly with your eyes, unless there is enough moon light.

- You can't see anything during a cloudy night, even with your eyes (unless a ship is illuminated of course).

Interesting topic. I have some RL experience fishing in the deep dark night (1-4am) on the Atlantic ocean and surf for striped bass. These fish are nocturnal feeders. It always amazes how far you can see under some conditions once you adjust. You can spot fish at times even with optics . You don’t always see the fish themselves, but rather the water disturbance caused by their movements on the surface or beneath. Even in the white surf line foam at night you can spot fins and fish moving and feeding from remarkable distances at times. The worst conditions are a new moon below the horizon with a low mists and a irregular wind blowing counter to water movement. I always felt that one reason the Japanese were expert night fighters was because they were also expert night fisherman.

Thank you for your testimony. :up:
