I'm really trying to get the feel of what a real U-boat commander experienced in the war. (Minus the realistic career length).

I've recently read on the forums that the water clarity in GWX and vanilla SH3 are unrealistic.

So for SH3 commander, what is the "realistic" setting for water clarity? 5? 9? 16?

It's odd... in GWX3's manual had an article detailing a harbor attack. It said that you couldn't see sea-mines regardless of depth or periscope... said that the only way to find a sea-mine is to get blown up by one. I saw a sea-mine rather clearly and was able to adjust my course so that I didn't run into it.

I don't want to see just black when I use the periscope underwater, but I don't want to "cheat" with unrealistic water clarityeither... can anyone suggest a realistic setting?
