Just got to be careful, a star shell gets close, it can really light you up and their visuals really increase.
Now fast DD's coming, lil different story, depends on how far away you are.

That is good though, that is how it went in real life most of time from what have read, hitting a sub with guns on surface at night was tough, probably mostly luck if hit one unless it was at point blank range.Read many accounts of the firing, coming close but not hitting.They can still hit, it's a risk being on surface, esp since I play with darker nights but standard TMO visuals and my own custom cfg file.Right balance basically found and like in rl, all depends on moon light, have to operate accordingly.Really is nice being able to even work way inside some convoy screens if they are large enough convoys and spaced far apart enough, fun to blow a few ships up and then have to navigate way out, at times under fire.
