Zoom of the Periscope?

[Fortune]

Is it correct, that both, the observation and the attack periscope zooms 1x or 4x?
I always thought that the obersavtion periscope can zoom 1x and 4x but the attack periscope 1,5x and 6x?
It's hard to get the range of a target at long distances just seeing it 4 times bigger than normally.

There is a magnification of the scope mod in the SH4 mod forums. I know it worked for 1.4 but may not be ready for 1.5. Search the mod forum for it. :up:

There were lots of periscope models for UBoats in WW2, however, all attack periscopes I have seen were 1.5x/6x.

For late war observation periscopes, the correct zoom would also be 1.5x/6x. Fortunately, this is easy enough to fix in the cameras.dat file.:hmm:

Here is a pic of a real german observation periscope manual, indicating clearly the 1.5x/6x for this late war model (Binocular type):

Nice one there, Hitman! Is that yours?

1.5x and 6x magnification is valid for both periscopes on the German and American submarines.

Thanks a lot, Hitman!
