Is it possible to tweak the AI so they will fire upon spotted periscopes with light AA weapons?

Is it possible for this fire to damage a periscope?

Question #1: no, as they already do so...
Question #2: and yes, this is possible...



Oh, and sometime if not all the time, U-Boats would get at a minimum range of 2km of their target... and sailors firing at a pariscope with MG and AA guns have happened most of the time I they saw a glare or what was thought to be a glare from a Sub. pariscope, or they got really paranoid <------ this those happen especially when your out at the sea for some time.
