If not built into FotRSU, can anyone recommend a mod that would allow this to happen?
Thanks in advance!

I made historical night surface attacks possible in my TMO Update BH mod, which is a first for SH 4. Under right conditions can even get inside a larger convoy and attack undetected until torpedoes hit and escape on surface as US subs did at times. Depends on a variety of factors, moonlight is a major one.
Based on my testing, truly historical night surface attacks are not possible in FOTRS at this time. On the rare very dark night cn get somewhat close but I always seem to get spotted somewhat easily, too easy for a sub on surface on a dark night. Main issue is like stock and all other mods, naturally the nights are too bright in most cases to permit this, especially for getting inside large convoys. Visual sensors have to be tweaked as well.
I am currently working on making historical night surface attacks possible in FOTRS as I did in TMO.
