Moon Phases Calendar

08-03-12, 05:33 AM

Hello there!
Today I found a very useful tool on the net which is IMHO a must on a U-boat. Moon phases have a quite significant role in night surface attacks since e.g. a full moon lightens the environment which makes enemy crew's job easier when spotting subs at night. Therefore It's crucial to know the current moon phase during the day in order to conduct a successful night attack.
This link leads to a Moon Phase Calendar which has valuable information about the Moon phases from the last 80 years thus including the 30s and 40s as well.

Sorry if you have already known this table.

I have been looking at the sun cycle in the game and tried to use the moon cycle to verify what I saw in game up against real world data. Unfortunately, it seems that the in game moon is nothing but nice graphics that doesn't look like it should where it should when it should.
