On this topic, what orders of magnification did uboat periscopes actually have? Thought I read that it was less than x10.

Stock SH3 has the observation periscope set to x1 and x4, and the attack periscope set to x1.5 and x6. The latter is the proper setting for all real-life periscopes, at least for the Germans and the Americans. GWX made the attack 'scope go to x10 just so you could read the flags from a greater distance. I use Hitman's mod which gives the correct optics to both 'scopes and the UZO.

Also, I read somewhere that a sub couldnt go more than 5 knots with the perisope up and have it be usable due to vibration. Is that true?

Yes it's true. It is my understanding that the acceptable limit is 3 knots.
