Searchlights sometimes being used - sometimes not

[kakemann]

Hi!

Played SH4 patched to 1.2 for some time now, and I see that the convois or task forces sometimes uses the searchlights when they know that there is a sub in the area, and sometimes they don't use them at all.
They just keep cruising around in the dark, pinging or listening or whatever.

I have created a test mission with the mission editor, and in this mission I saw that the warships used their searchlights when dark.
But it seems like the warships have non working searchlights sometimes when playing campaign - even if it is totally dark.

I know that the searchlights is used sometimes, but I don't understand why the ships from time to time just won't turn them on even if they know i'm in the area and it is past bedtime?

Anyone else has the same question?

and...

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this or something?
I would like them back everytime!
