Sorry for this stupid question, but I used the search option and found no results.
When you are travelling underwater, at periscope depth, looking at the sub from outside do you see a wake (foam) made by the periscope, like on Sh3?

I believe you do, yes. Though I rarely have my scope up long enough to notice ;)


Yeah, usually some destroyers snapped the bloody thing off :lol:

And it seems to depend how fast your travelling too, from what I can tell. They seem to spot you much quicker if your really motoring underwater with your periscope up.

No periscope wake and there is no wake around the tower when diving either like in SH3 or stock SH4.

No wake problems here, I see them just fine. It seems that they're just a bit less pronounced than before...I do run PE though, so perhaps that makes a difference.

Maybe you need environmental effects or something checked in the graphics options . Just a guess .

Thank you all for your answers!
I have everything enabled (maxed out) in the graphic options, apart from volumetric fog.
I forgot to mention that I have, also, the following mods installed.
1) Remove the grainy effect;
2) Capt. Cox Less Water limber holes;
3) Capt. Cox Bow Conning Foam Kit;
4) Capt. Cox Improved Bow Wake Kit.
I suspect that mods 2, 3 and 4 could be the problem.
The only strange thing is that when launching an US sub mission I can see the periscope wake without problems

I have no wakes and im only running the nomograph mod.
All gfx settings maxed out to included processing filters.

No wake on stock plus 1.5 here either...

I was wondering why there was no scope wake... It looks really weird.

We need a fix ASAP!!!

It seems that you are the only one who can actually see the pericope wake.
Can you post a screenshot and your computer specs?
