SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Can This Be A Work Around For The 8 KM Visibility?

For me, my crew seeing 17 km, or even 8 km originally, is a game ender for night time. It is not real for someone to see a ship 17 km away.

How far should a crew see at midnight on a clear sky, considering the moonlight, in reality?
:hmm:
I would like to figure a way to get the night vision down to say 4km??

The Uboats were terrified of the airplanes using radar (and leigh lights) at night swooping down and shelling them with bullets before they could dive, since they could not see them coming in time.

The game's RWR warning will not work if it is within visual range. If the visual night range was reduced to say 4 km, then the RWR will sound off. The RWR is modelled oddly in the game.
