It does seem it is the "Visual Size" of the snorkel is too big. Anyone know where this is stored? I never found it. 
Sorry to highjack this thread...I am going to create a new thread with all the new findings summary. |
Oh no. You didn't hijack the thread, at all. You just found the base-cause for the entire mess. If the surface area of the snorkel really is massive (as it would seem), then that's the only thing that needs to be changed. The area will be quite a bit larger than just a typical periscope, though, especially with the later models. I imagine the flat surfaces and the enormous head really put out strong returns, over just an ordinary periscope. I'd imagine nothing over 15m^2, with a periscope giving 6-7.
