I notice that both NYGM Tonnage and GW both use a mod that adds Leigh Lights to aircraft. However, an earlier version of this mod (which I thought pretty cool.. by CCIP I think too) also had lights on merchant vessels. Has this gone by the wayside in the two current 'supermods'? I haven't noticed any probing searchlights on merchants after attacking a convoy at night.....

I use GW and merchants do have searchlights, they usually turn on once hit...

I think I read that they removed the lights from some of the merchants because, they felt there were too many search lights on when convoys were attacked.

I wondered about that myself... having all the searchlights go on aboard merchants after a torpedo attack is very cool but it certainly makes them easier to target in the dark. Smile

If you want lights on them, you can just grab the mod off realsimulation and put it on top of NYGM. It doesn't really change anything else in the mod besides the ship lights.

Maybe it's a cool feature but till now I never heard of merchants turning on searchlights in the middle of a convoy battle.

Lights on planes cool but on merchants well not for my taste.
