Phases of the Moon

I have never seen mentioned any documents carried on a boat referring to the Moon phases. This was obviously very important information to know if you were attacking a convoy at night.

Were charts issued routinely to crews departing on a mission?

Could the developers include a moon phase chart in Wolfpack bitte ?

Are the moon phases even modelled in-game?

Any charts, maps, almanacs, and moon charts were historically ordered and maintained by the navigator. So I would believe they would have access. I don’t think it is modeled in this game. The first thing they need to do is tone done the moonlight before anything else. Seems really bright!

Hi mate,

There is a great moon phase predictor for designers to use at:

How do I tell them? Think they read this?

I use something similar when I am writing SH3 Moonlit night Missions

The moon is not only excessively bright, but also also absolutely huge in the game. I'm not an outdoorsy person in general, but I think this is not quite what it's supposed to look like
