I bought when it first came out, put it away after a few months and recently came back. I only use a few mods, since I am probably one of the few who like the new interface.
In terms of immersiveness, it is the best in actual convoy/ship attacks, but in terms of the overall experience, I would say SH4 with the RFB mod is still better.

I use Arclight's periscope mod and estimate the range based on visual sighting, method is discussed in this thread:

So after having spent some time testing out the scopes in a variety of settings and comparing with the exact range as calculated with map updates "on", I can say, the ranges are right on (running at 1920x1200 w. 8:5 patch). The range as calculated from the scope is usually within 10% of the real range, although that difference has more to do with my ability to guesstimate the actual mast height against the horizontal bars.
the formulas which I use are the following:
observation scope:
1.5x - MastHeight x 100 / horizontal bars = Range
6x - MastHeight x 400 / horizontal bars = Range
Attack scope:
1.5x - MastHeight x 50 / horizontal bars = Range
6x - MastHeight x 200 / horizontal bars = Range

works out pretty good once you get the hang of it:
