I'd really appreciate feedback on this new PG from players who've attempted night surface attacks using OLCU v2.1 or higher. Do you agree with what I've written?

Definitely. In early war it's not even a problem to show a large profile towards escorts in a dark night. One can easily sneak in, fire and escape at maybe half ahead before the torpedoes hit. Hopefully the boat is out of range of search lights etc by then. Till now I only found ahead flank to be a bit risky. Now it's `41 and I haven't been attacking a convoy so far. But in a very dark night west of Africa two merchants didn't see anything when the boat was within less than 300 meters. Also, after the first eel hit, their gunfire was rather inaccurate, either due to the darkness or maybe their low veterancy. I'm using 2.1.1.
