This long standing issue is one I have sought to fix.

I enjoy FOTRS and watch as it develops, and play it to check out things but my custom TMO install ( the basis of the upgrade) is stable, works fine, and even provides individual things that other mods do not, yet. However, while have played FOTRS and can pull off some night surface attacks, have not been able to move inside a convoy screen like this etc. Which is why I posted, it's something that has been missing. Especially on a "normal" night. Rain etc is one thing but typical night in the game, can pull off night surface attacks and from the ranges they typically did, not the 3500-5000 yards had to before. Other side, darker nights forces the player to get in close so can actually see their target. With the 3d TDC and Radar mod in TMO, radar only shots from long range are possible, I've done it a few times (think USS Jack in April 1944 against the Take Ichi Convoy) but not something can do every time.

I apologize, I didn't mean for my comment to come off the way it did. Is your mod compatible with FOTRS? That's one thing that's always irked me too. I read a lot of naval books, and how subs maneuvered on the surface so close to ships at night, and SH4 is a big disappointment in that area. Thanks!
