new Q & A: Night attacks will be possible due to new sensor trimming

[rik007]

That is great news:

Does SH-V allow for nightly surface attacks? Can you surface within a convoy at night like Kretschmer did without a big chance to discover?

Yes, we have adjusted the ships spacing to be historically accurate and also the enemy sensors to allow the player to recreate those surface attacks.

I did complain (was concerned) about that some time ago:

Did they check this forum? I Do not dare to think so. Well, I think others did complain as well.

In SH-III a nightly attack is possible but after the torpedoes hit al searchlights switched on. I do not hope - and expect not - to see that again in SH-V.
