My understanding was in earlier boats, both were same, both had stadimeters etc(they do in the game if you look at the model) and the Gato class(possibily the Tambor Gars as well) were made with an attack scope and observation scope.Basically the attack scope had the stadimeter and was for shooting, it was thinner and thus more difficult to spot, the observation scope was thicker with a larger head and transmitted light better but was not that much different, they both could have colored filters to help for low light conditions. I really liked the scopes in RFB, not a fan of the green crosshairs and drastically different look, esp when it does this to the older boats which did not have the advantage(well may have later in war) of the different scopes.I could be wrong but that is what I have gathered from reading various booksetc.
