Keeping it at 5 or higher would not affect it at night as fours don't count anyway so what about putting -1 to dice roll instead. If it only had two ASW dice then the former would be ok but with three it would needs two sixes for most subs and maybe if not keeping to a OPG ability that would be better. In my experience these are likely to be out more in darkness.

Just quick scanned up to date with this thread so I don't if this has already been mentioned.

Okay, I guess I am dense. What is the difference between "5 or higher" and "-1 to dice roll?"

There are existing examples for both wordings:

Determined Attack: If this unit is aborted by a ship's aa attack, roll a die. on a 1, destroy this unit. On a 4 or higher, this unit can make either a Bomb or Torpedo attack. you get -1 on each attack die for Bomb or 1 less die for Torpedo

Press the Attack: Whenever this unit is aborted by a ship's Antiair attack, you may roll a die. On a 1, destroy this unit. On a 4 or higher, this unit makes a Bomb attack during your air attack, hitting on a 5 or higher only

Desperate Attack: When this unit is aborted by an Antiair Attack, you may roll a die. On a 3 or higher this unit makes a Bomb attack during your Air Attack step but gets -1 on each attack die for that attack. Destroy this unit after the attack.

So it really depends on what fits better.

When the Royal Canadian Air Force decided to purchase PBY flying boats in December 1939, they discovered the U.S. Navy and the RAF had already contracted for all the aircraft Consolidated could produce. In 1940, Boeing Canada and Canadian Vickers tooled up to produce the PBY-5, named the Canso by the RCAF. It was a patrolling Canso that located the Japanese fleet incursion into the Indian Ocean and warned Ceylon. Flying out of Iceland, No. 162 squadron Cansos sank four out of the five U-boats they sighted during the month of June 1943.
