And yet you 'drag' destroyers at flank speed when the periscope in real life was useless at more than about three knots. One, the vibration was impossible to deal with and two, at even higher speeds the tube could bend or even break.

True. I also load external torpedoes while going flank speed during an end-around to get back in front of a convoy.
One concession I did give in to is I now only load steam torpedoes in the external stores.
And I've finally broken myself of pressing "L" in periscope/uzo view to identify, locate, and chart invisible ships.
But basically if the game allows it, I use it. I still can't survive to the end of the war. Maybe if I make it to May 1945 I'll start over being more strict. But I'll probably move on to SH4 then.
