It comes down to 2 schools of thinking.
If you break something while fixing others?
You've FUBARed somethings.
That's one school.

The other school teachs to fix things
without breaking other things.

So,
As I follow the Second school?
I'll stand by my post.

And it's not a mean post.
Just fact.

I think he means the air raids aren't completely broken.
They still work much like they did before, just with less white things.

You could argue that the smaller ships lights FUBAR the air raids, but at the
same time you could argue that the large air raid lights FUBAR the ships.

I think it's more a matter of taste than anything else.

It can be argued any way you wish.

And I don't have a problem with the quick fix in any way.

But the fact remains,
it breaks things.

So shall we break the Whales and Dolphins
because you hardly ever see them?

Hey, there's those darned Sea Forts also.
Let's mess those up too!

It's no big deal how or what someone does to the files.
OLC himself should know I'm not upset nor bothered by this fix.

I was asked to state my opinion,
and I did.

So carry on and enjoy the fix.
Let's not make it a big deal any longer.

Privateer out!

It is mean, and it's not a fact.

All I've done is change the texture used on the beams. Air raids are not broken by that change, nor are they F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition. They'll work exactly the same as before but with shorter-looking searchlights.

Edit:
I cross-posted with you, privateer. I get what you're saying, but you could choose your words better IMO. Nevermind. This was a five minute mod, it's not worth arguing about.

On-Land search lights were more powerfull and yes they had longer light beams. In fact in RL they were more transparent than in the game.

It would be perfect if the game allowed to tweak the lenght of land based and ships mounted searchlights independantly. So there would be less debate about reality.

Not to mention the weather conditions also reflects on light beam visibility. And i guess it's already too real for the game to handle it, unless SH5 will do the trick

If you can trust on what you see here is one:
