Various Questions On Game Engine And Game Play

[Von Due]

Now, I don't have the game and I am on the fence, I'll probably wait until I see more of how the game developement progresses and in which direction. That being said, I have for starters one question (for the time being).

Different games have different ways of dealing with lighting conditions for an attacking sub. In https://www.history.navy.mil/researc...t-convoys.html there are a couple of snippets that read

Moonlight Nights.

On moonlight nights submarine will probably operate on the surface with very little buoyancy. Under these conditions they are very hard to see, especially if their position is well chosen with regard to the moon. The Germans are known to possess very good night glasses, which give great assistance in enabling them to make out ships and patrol vessels without being themselves seen.

A submarine captain will not get between the lines at night if he can avoid doing so, as he will be exposed to close-range gunfire if sighted, but will probably try for a shot from outside the escorting craft on the flanks, or, closing in after they have passed, try and pick off any stragglers.

The submarine is most dangerous to the convoy when on a bearing away from the moon, and this position should always be guarded, if possible, by stationing one of the escort on that bearing, but outside the short-range escort.

Unless the sun and moon have a high altitude, a submarine will prefer, if possible, to attack from the direction of the sun's rays and, at night, from a direction opposite to the bearing of the moon.

Is this something that will matter in this game?
