No offense, but I have to wonder about your expectations/tactics here. It is possible to get medium close and make successful night surface attacks, but that doesn't mean it can be done easily, or in all circumstances. The weather, phase, and position of the moon are critical. The darker the better. Even a slight lightening of the sky can make a difference. Having the moon behind you is a sure giveaway, even if it is still below the horizon, it can ruin your approach. I think people get into trouble thinking they are invisible at night.
