The idea that night has to be pitch black is quite wrong, at sea anyway.
If the moon is out, capital ships could be spotted up to 10k away. With only stars out, it's around half that distance, and obviously if it's cloudy it's more difficult to see things. Black silhouttes are easy to see against a very dark blue sky, or stars, or the moon. There is a quote by a former WW2 Japanese sub captain to that effect somewhere on the SHIV forums, and it also accords with my own experience. |

its dark at night, i like it. its makes the game much better when you can´t spot a destroyer because of the darkness. enjoy the mod, but don´t start to blame the weatherman :rotfl: i wan´t a sunset everyday,no waves and it should never rain
on my last patrol it was the first time i attacked at about 0.30 o´clock, it was great fun and i realy had to keep attention

I do remember that it is a minefield... and that we released the best compromises we could make. That being said... individual monitors vary so greatly... I don't think it can ever be perfect. |

My problem is exactly the opposite: Tuddley's pictures are what my nightimes look like all the time; even on an overcast, cloudy "dark" night. There was a mod that made it more to my likeing, but it was before the 16km mod and only worked with the original 8km settings. I'm still hoping for a "black" night someday (or night).
