So merchants should be almost blind at night...that is not the case presently in any SH3 megamod.
Only way to represent this, is to modify the Sim.cfg night settings (and probably fog factor too for different weather types) and maybe the AI sensors dat visual adjustment...not easy task to get the correct settings for all kind of weather, keeping in mind warships must keep some better visuals at night (slightly better than merchant, but still lower than actually)
To me, and according to what Kretschmer wrote in his testimony, cargo ships should not see you surfaced at 150m when dark night, and warship should not see you surfaced at 300/400m!

Exactly. I was saying surprised none of the mods have made this possible in SH 3. Then again, I was surprised no one had made it happen in SH 4 as well. As said, SH 4 is basically a clone of SH 3, so sure it can be done.
Definitely complicated and took many hours of testing. The first step is making sure the nights are dark enough. SH 3 and 4 by default the nights even without moonlight war just way too bright. Likely done to make visual identification easier at night for player but it kills realistic night surface attacks. Mods improved it but still far too light. Once changed the environment at night with the darker nights mod with proper settings in .cfg to balance things, have desired result.
I am wondering if the darker nights mod for SH 4 would work with SH. Hmmm. I do not have SH 3 installed currently or I would check. In near future I do plan to get back into SH 3, take a little break from the pacific after a year plus working to update some things. Only modding will do in Sh 3 will be the try and make the Kretschmer style surface attacks happen, if it is not done before. Of course , if one does not exist will need someone to do the darker nights (if the SH 4 mod does not work) as that is beyond my knowledge base at moment.
