To some extent that's realistic. Modern people mostly living in areas of "light pollution" forget just how dark it can get in blackout conditions, especially when there's a new moon and/or overcast.

But, I don't think the game does as good a job as it could of modeling the effects of moonlight or early dusk and dawn, nor does it model things like moonlight reflecting off of clouds, to make somewhat brighter conditions above an overcast.

In any case, the option of having "cosmetic darkness" where you can increase the the contrast between ground and sky while still having the appearance of darkness would be a nice addition - albeit unrealistic. It might also be simple enough to implement, since all that's needed is a "filter" layer
