Have people who have tried this found that they are now able to make realistic night surface attacks? I'm thinking of trying it and curious about what others have experienced.

v 1.3 values:

Visual range factor=0.3 ;[>=0]
Visual fog factor=0.95 ;[>=0]
Visual light factor=0.6 ;[>=0]
Visual waves factor=0.6 ;[>=0]
Visual speed factor=0 ;[>=0]
Visual aspect=0.9 ;[>=0]
Visual enemy speed=0.2 ;[>=0]
Visual noise factor=0 ;[>=0]
Visual sensor height factor=0.5 ;[>=0]
Visual already tracking modifier=600 ;[detection probability modifier], most accurate, once a contact is detected it will lose it very hard
Visual decay time=200 ;[>0] already tracking bonus decay, in seconds
Visual uses crew efficiency=false ;[true or false]


Patch 1.4 values that have changed:


Visual range factor=0.5 ;[>=0]
Visual fog factor=1 ;[>=0]
Visual light factor=1 ;[>=0]
Visual waves factor=0.8 ;[>=0]

Visual decay time=250 ;[>0]

That looks like the sensors.cfg - which deals with your sensors.

The one that effects the AI is the sim.cfg

Using deck awash, low speed, low aspect. Night surface attacks have always been possible. I do it. You just can't get too close and how close you can get depends on the type and quality of the closest vessel.

They can probably hear your props cavitating if you are going faster than 2 or 3 knots . Thats why you have to approach from the front/side slowly .
