What I've seen is moon phases NOT correct at all. I remember one screenshot of the full moon sitting beside the sun and everyone remarking how accurate it was.
Well it might be accurate if you can find what source of light is illuminating the full moon, since the sun is BEHIND IT!!!! And why is the moon 4 times its actual size?
Moon phase is hard-linked between moon phase, moon rise and set times (the full moon NEVER CAN rise at midnight, for instance) and angle betweein the Sun and Moon. Change one of them (or change the size of moon and sun and all eclipses are laughable) and you have what we have in Silent Hunter 4: astronomical farce.
SH4 is not an astronomy simulator. Not even close. That is especially true for solar system astronomy.
