Any way to change it back?


Not a huge issue, just messes with some of my calculations and charts.

Also it seems some mast height information is incorrect.
Stock:
Attack Periscope: 1.5x, 6x
Observation Periscope: 1x, 4x

GWX:
Attack Periscope: 1.5x, 10x

This was done because in 6x you can't see as clearly as you can in real life. I don't use it myself, but it's a very good idea, especially for people who do everything manually.

Real Life:
All periscopes are 1.5x and 6x. This is true for pretty much every navy.

The mod you want to make them historically correct is this one:

Or with S3D you can change the parameters yourself, which is what I had to do to make it work with all the other mods I'm using.
