Listen, I'm not saying that there's no advantage to be had (although I'm not sure that the sim models it accurately since I've found that they spot my scope if I'm at anything but at a complete stand still no matter how much I make sure that it's barely peeking above the water), I'm just saying that I don't find whatever advantage there is to be worth the trouble.
Trouble meaning that, no matter how much you're decks awash, you're still going to be facing an additional few possibly critical seconds getting your watch crew below before you can dive as opposed to already being below a periscope depth where you can dive pretty much instantly.
I just haven't found it ever to be worth the trouble in the sim. If the visibility is against me and I'm close enough to be spotted (with somebody on the surface who can hurt me), I'll be below the water.
