Adjusting visuals so can have realistic surface attacks.

One of my great frustrations in SH 4 is inability to perform realistic night surface attacks. TMO RSRD makes it a bit more possible, some cases can get 2500 yards.Of course depends on escorts.Now in the big convoys the Japanese start running in 1944 and 45, want to be able to move inside the escort screen as subs did in RL.How would I go about making this happen? Which visual sensors need adjusting? Someone has explained to me how to make the nights darker, so going to fool with that soon.Assuming that will affect things, but would like to be able to pull off attacks such as Tang, Barb etc.

I share this frustration (if a bit mildly), and am very interested in whether a fix could be made. Certainly in the "Wolves of the Kaiser" mod some allowance would have to be (I would think at least) made to allow surface attacks. I don't know how frequent night surface attacks were in WWII, but I know in WWI they were common, if not even prevalent.

Well Traveller Mod redid the nights and visuals, can pull off pretty realistic night surface attacks in the sense you can get 2000 yards or less from convoys/escorts on darker nights, all about the moonlight but there is a stability issue there someone, it crashes when i get near big convoys, its not my pc it runs everything just fine, he has an error or something in there, he disappeared so no one to correct it.Issue is want to make it where can move inside the larger convoys on surface and attack on darker nights, as they did in RL.Would be pretty awesome to be able to get that close.Of course going to take some work to do so.Adjust visuals, nights, also making it where deck gun fire is not deadly accurate from merchants and escorts at night(it generally wasnt).Also have to work on the radar, even with Tater's excellent radar patch they are detecting me on their radar at 7800 yards, bit too effective for ijn radar as read multiple accounts of us subs making attacks on radar equipped convoys.
