I never noticed before, but in the evening the order of events is wrong! In reality Twilight begins after Sunset and ends with Dusk. In the game Dusk initiates Twilight and Sunset ends it.

I think that the problem is one of nomenclature. I think they meant night instead of sunset. Maybe This link will provide everyone with a better understanding of the terminology. www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/dusk.html

Here's another one: natureescapes.co.uk/blog/2020/1/22/sunset-dusk-and-twilight-all-your-sunset-questions-explainedMight it help to rename the later event "nightfall"? Anyway, Sunset comes first. Within one hour of sunset you suffer from Glare, if firing into the sun. The manual also states as gunnery factor: Dusk (firing eastwards in dusk or westwards at dawn is penalised) A problem might be that the term dusk is used all for: 1) the time period between sunset and nightfall (even though those events are misordered). The game calls it "Twilight", the manual mentions it as "dusk" 2) the event when the night starts and "twilight" ends 3) The gunnery effect which happens in twilight when you are firing into the non-illuminated direction.

I think its the reuse of the term in perhaps too broad of a manner - will look at this. Thanks.
