Doesn't the UZO come out of the sub where the main scope should?
Ahhhhh now I get it. Yes, good point

What he is meaning is that the position of the UZO column and the observation periscope shaft on the bridge are actually interchanged; he says that the scope should be BEHIND the UZO column, and not before it.

I should check some photos, but I think the game has them in the correct position.

This is a scheme from the US Navy showing the location of items on the bridge of a captured Type IXC:



As you can see, the UZO (2) is actually on a side, and the observation scope (13) comes out in the shaft behind it (As you suggest) but I think that in the Type VII that was not the case.

Will research and see what I find
