Does the moonlight affect the possibility of being detected at night?

TorpX, your night surface experience has been a lot like mine. When I first started playing, I went for night surface attacks since that was what many captains preferred in the war. I quickly discovered that moonlight might as well be daylight. I then discovered that I could be seen even when I couldn't see the enemy. In the end, I've given up on surface attacks at night but do get a bit closer than I would in daytime. I still submerge for the final 5-6,000 yards, though, just to be on the safe side.
