I was wondering about a few things though:

1) Why is it that the observation & attack periscope heads always face forward? Even if I leave them pointed towards the stern, then go back to the bridge view when on the surface, they look like they're facing forward.

2) Similar question about the UZO. Shouldn't the attack periscope housing be in the way when I look directly astern?
And shouldn't that cold spray actually sting my face? And shouldn't Hans get washed overboard? Why don't those swinging sausages actually stink up the control room?



It's always irked me, somewhere deep, that the watch crew is never in the way when I do a binoculars/UZO sweep.

Welcome aboard U-000, where it is never immersive enough!
