Icon9 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 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 ...

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.

In 2019, I created a weather modification that had bright nights. In the near future, I will release such a modification in a new edition.
