Great work! At least, much better than I could do. Shame you can't turn it on/off (e.g. when the moon is not there) but it's still impressive.

I'm sorry OLC, but I think it's kinda ironic that this thread originally wasn't about the OCLE Moon Reflection but you accidentally hijacked it and now it is :-)

[oops, edited]

By all means take the thread back on topic and I'll shut up about the OLCE moon.

Watch out for mines...

Why have I got the image of Prochnow standing on the conning tower muttering "Damn moon" just before attacking an outbound convoy in my head?

Savour that new moon, it'll be your friend in night attacks

Huhm, this actually raises a question i never thought about ingame. does full moon actually "enhance" visibility of enemy ships (or does new moon decrease it for that matter)? or is it just what the weather report says regarding visibility?

Actually it is not misleading at all. New Moon means no Moon, the start of the lunar month when the moon is between the Earth and the sun and is virtually invisible to the naked eye here on Earth. Since there is nothing to see the night view is quite boring.

Regardless of how poorly the game recreates moonlight, some of my favorite SHIII views are at night when the moon is up.
