Perhaps the black thick line will be shortened slightly in the attack periscope. At night it can be hard to see the bearing scale exactly

Is it possible to get a slightly shaded edge? I'm really glad that the scratches are gone

I second that. Having dust/scratches on the lenses is matter of taste (personally I don't disdain some degree of weather on my optics), but scope lenses without some degree of vignetting are matter-of-factly unrealistic.

I agree and recommend "Larger optics to TDW UI". It seems to work fine to WOS

Is this what you mean with a ring of dirt around the optic !



It doesn't look to bad in daylight but I think it will look terrible at night, this is how bad it is with the scope down.

That's not "a ring of dirt", but the gradual decrease of the light tramsmitted from a group of lenses, going from the center of the optic to the edges. In optics it is called vignetting. Normally this is barely noticeable, but all the original pictures of WWII scope views show this phenomenon to some degree.

IIRC other scope mods as well as stock periscope masks got this effect right. Try looking at them for some clues on how to achieve the same.

Is this shaded enough or would you like it darker at the edges.

Mutch better, but you can judge yourself from some original pictures. You can google "u-boat periscope view", but be careful: most of the pictures you get from there are just reconstructions, or game screenies

Updated post one with screen shots and download links for the best match that I can achieve to recreate the vignette effect from the few original photos available.
