Moonlight reflections at extreme distances

[Highwayman-Ed]

Whilst flying a night mission in VR, I noticed that ships and AI aircraft flying in the mission all showed as a white light out to extreme distances at certain angles.

 

For Aircraft, it was constant, but for ships, it only happens at certain viewing angles in the VR headset, as you approached them, and the higher LOD models were rendered, the 'light' went away.

 

With further testing, I found that these lights seem to be a reflection of the moonlight. On an overcast night, when under the cloud layer, neither the ships nor the aircraft produced these lights at long distances.

 

It's difficult to show in a screenshot, but in this one below, there is a Carrier at the centre of the formation and an SH-60 hovering next to it (2 dots), with some escorts around it, and an E-2 orbiting overhead which you can see from the white dots.

I was not able to reproduce this problem in 2D mode.
