Kinda of two minds on this - the actual taming of the lights is very good - I use it. However, the doctrine of being blacked out was to AVOID detection - once they were among you it immediately becomes useless. In addition, as anyone in any military can attest, trying to get any random set of civvies to do ANYTHING in concert and according to doctrine is the proverbial "herding cats" - damn near impossible. So having the entire convoy light up, wildly start slewing off in all directions and generally acting like the clown act at the circus is pretty much how it was - at least for approx the first couple years as each belligerent entered the war (Brits till '41, Americans untill late '43 or so)
