Periscope and waves
 

I don't know way but I have my periscope covered by wakes quite a few seconds, even in almost calm seas. This often causes the missing of the fire bearing. For this reason I have to go to shallower depth in order to clear up my view, exposing my mast...

I can tell you that this happens in reallity, but not in that extent even in rough seas.

Does anyone else bothered on this?

I dont know if "bothered" is the right word.

Yes everyone experiences this. The key is to raise your sub a few feet above periscope depth to get a clear view.

Periscope depth as ordered is for optimum conditions.

Excuse me for my english!!!:oops: :oops: :oops: . Didn't mean anything bad!

It was a good word choice, your English was fine.

I think SteamWake just meant that it did not bother him, or it bothered him very little.

Ok, Thanks!

I just want to point that the SAIL is much exposed above the optimum periscope depth (after 3 ft above). I hope that the wave high is correctly applied in the game!

Yes, rising above wave action has risk.

FYI, the periscope depth (and other parameters) for each sub can be adjusted in the subname.cfg files, in the individual sub folders under Data/Submarine/

Yes it does expose you to a greater extent. Im not sure how the "code" handles visibility I havent been detected yet.

Then again I tend to lay in wait at around 80 feet listening on the sonar untill the target gets close to launch angle then I pop up, a few last minute adjusments and take the shot.

But I think there is a mod to tone down the waves.

Look in the modding forum you might just find what you want :up:

I will look around indeed, the covering of the periscope has started stretching my nerves!!!:yep: :D

I'm only having that problem with the Salmon and Sargo type. I therefore adjusted periscope depth from 16.4 meters to 15.6 meters (54ft to 51ft) which helped. It also solved the OBS scope problem being too low.
