A periscope would have to be fully extended with the moon behind it at least.
What do you think?

I would say no, this is not natural. Daytime perhaps but not night.
Are you using IRAI or any other mods that effect the AI's ability to attack and so forth. If you are, this might be the reason for the extra superman vision of the enemy. I'm assuming you mean meters, if it was Km you wouldn't even know there was an enemy there.
So, you might want to list your mods. This may be adjusted depending on which mods you have loaded up.

I'm not saying that it's impossible to get very very close, I'm just saying that it is possible to spot a uboat from 4500 meters 
Though, perescope is slightly different subject. |
I think what UnderWaterDude is talking about are the "periscope spotted" messages that NewUIs is generating when a ship is around us.
Those messages emulate enemy ships spotting us, and our radio man intercepting their comming our presence. Afaik, they are just random messages, and have nothing to do with our U-boat being actually detected.
IIRC they can be disabled through option editor
