yes moonlight does affect how the enemy spots you.Other factors are fog, your subs speed(due to the wake) and the profile you are presenting in addition to distance.At times in TMO on dark nights I've had enemy escorts pass 1000 yards ahead of me and not detect me but usually you want to keep them 2000 yards away with your bow pointed at them.
