You were only 1600m away? Night time or not, I think you are pushing the limits of remaining undetected at that range. Also, I believe the visual range circles on the navmap are a "suggested" or "estimated" range of visual detection by that ship. In my experience with SH4, you need to be at least 2000 to 2500m away for a night surface attack. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: If you were at ahead full you were probably kicking up a pretty good bow wake too. If I understand how the AI works in this game then that definitely increases your odds of being detected.
