SH5 - Periscope view too dark during night
 

Hi friends,

I have installed TWoS. During the night time when I see it in the periscope I see nothing but pitch black. Even when I increase the monitor brightness, I see everything look brighter but the view in periscope still look darker.

I understand in real life it will be dark in the periscope view during night. However, I see this is unrealistically too dark. And put this to not playable at all.

Please help me friends.!!! I love SH series. I am so worried. Please what I can do for it?

I’m afraid I can’t help to brighten the scope, but a dark night is hands-down the best for a night surface attack. U-boats only attacked submerged during the day, or at dawn/dusk or bright moonlit nights when it was too light to attack surfaced. Have you tried a night surface attack?

In terms of realism... you should not see much at night through the scope.

Good evening welcome to Subsim :Kaleun_Salute: Do you have good graphic parameters because it surprises me ... after that, it depends on the night ... moon; half-moon; deep night ... personally there is no problem on this side I think it is your machine which is incorrectly adjusted ... :ping: :yep:

I see.. at this point maybe I need to attack by surfacing the boat or wait until next day time. :k_confused:

Do you already tried the "TWoS Env Settings - Brighter Nights" Mod?

Yes I tried same! Still very dark. And I removed as well... it is same. Maybe I did not see the stars. However, no use of having or not.

Welcome aboard!
 

Any solution for this Cap???

Any CFG I can change for it? I am ready to do anything!. I want attack at night it is so fun. But I could not since it is soo dark, the dark that is not playable at all. It is not realistic dark.

are you still trying to use the scope or are you on the surface trying to use uzo,what mods are you using can you post a screenshot i know from hunting and fishing and camping away from man made lights its get dark where you cant see your hand in front of your face unless there a full moon out also post here and you probly get more help https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=238315

Do you think it is much visible to do any attack during night?

Fwiw, scopes were only used on more or less clear full moon nights (and rarely then) as it was to dark otherwise. Not trying to tell you how to play the game as much as maybe that is the reason for it being so dark, don't know.

hate to tell you this but it is realistic you playing a ww2 sub not a nuke only use the scope during a full moon also on the surface at night put the moonlight on the backside of the target has it helps with the uzo but if you are so set on playing with the scope go to ofev then ui then night filters enable

From these screenshots, I'd say the problem is not with brightness but with direction you're looking in. Target is slightly to starboard, you are looking too much to port and from clouds clearly visible in lower part of periscope view, much too high as well:

Oh wow I am glad you can see it LOL. Hmm OK. So, I will take it that this is the realistic. Now If I want to attack during night, what is the best method? Dive, using Sonar, get bearing, find the target and then fire? Sorry, If I am wrong on anything.. I am newbie LOL.
