Periscope Attacks at Night

I also think this will dramatically reduce the unrealistic 1 million ton carreers to a more realistic level. Good job there GWX team.

I've actually noticed the opposite, although it may be my rig and/or graphics card.

My old computer had GWX2.1 and an ATI graphics card and the nights were dark as a well diggers arse. I tried periscope attacks at night and they were quite difficult. Even on the surface they were difficult. I was shooting at shadows basically. Maybe more realistic.

I recently got a new and better computer with a Nvidia card. The first thing I noticed was the brighter nights. I don't think too unrealistically though. I can make out more detail on targets sooner than I could with my older rig.

I've read somewhere that ATI cards will make nights appear darker compared to Nvidia cards. I don't know if that is really true or not.
