lights on subs

There apparently are lights on sub's conning towers. I assume they were used in friendly harbors / waters? It would be cool if there was a way to turn them on.

If you mean like the 'lighted' merchants...I don't think that's possible because you'd robably need two different files for your one boat...I may be wrong but I'm sure someone will be along presently to pour more 'light' on the matter!!

There is a lighted merchant mod out there. I think it is going into GWX. Correct me is I'm wrong.

could be cool but only in the first years and in frienly ports. but only if it can be switched off.

Later in the war with the danger of night and day air attacks makes this unrealistic and not very cool in night convoy attacks...

There is an update for GW too with lit ships

Does the US have lit merchants before Dec 41 in UWAC Shegeek ?
I dont have the latest version

Yes I hope the merchant ships are not always 'lit up like x-mas trees', that would be rather unrealistic.
