A Question about the moon
 

While on patrol last night i was gazing up at the moon and watching the reflection on the water (nice work with ROW mod guys). And i was wondering does SH4 model the phases of the moon historicaly. What i mean is on December 2nd 1942 there should be a full moon. And on March 3rd 1942 there should be a total lunar eclips. Does these things actually happen?

I believe it does, yes. I think Leo implemented solar/luner eclipe event if you lucky enough to witness one while in game.

Actualy I didn't impliment them
 

The Dev's did this. But the size's of the sun and moon were far enough off so that they didn't happen properly.

But if you have a save game in the middle of a Lunar cycle it throughs off the cycle until the next time the moon rises.

I do not know why this happens but it does. If you do a save on a night of the full moon and come back to that save game the moon is no longer full.

So a compleat 24 hour cycle has to happen again for it to straighten out ususaly.
