Another issue I think that may be inflating our tonnage is the ease in which we can conduct night periscope attacks. I don;t know how many of you have been out on the open seas at night without moonlight, but let me say that it is a DARK, DARK place. This is how Otto Kretschmer was able to cruise surfaced in the midst of convoy columns without being spotted. This is also why an attack periscope, which by all accounts lets very little light in, is overpowered in SH3. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt that you'd be able to see much of anything through an attack scope in the middle of a moonless Atlantic night.
