Yes they do come on at night, and only at night. Thats my point. When I go into attack mode, I want the boat rigged for red, whether its 12 midnight or 12 noon. If I'm hunting in early morning or late evening I want the red mask in my periscope TGA to kick in, even if the clock says "sorry, just a few more minutes yet until its officially dark". When I'm setting up a shot, I dont want to back out to a brightly lit conning tower or map,( I wish the TDC was dimmed as well ). Too me a subsim is all about atmosphere, and lighting, whether its in a movie, or a night club, or a game, is a very mood setting tool. If I want to go deep to ride out a storm, or some escorts, and I know I will be down for several hours, I should be able to flip a switch and go back to normal lighting if I choose to. I guess you get used to having these features in older games and when its taken away, you realize how much you miss it.
