If I'm reading you correctly, you're saying that you were able to see much farther than you should have been able to.

Sadly, the game does not use a spherical model of the earth. You can see as far from a low periscope as you can from the bridge of a surface vessel. Additionally, one cannot see farther than 10 nm under any circumstances. This seems rather unfortunate, as in SHCE the simulation allowed one to see father from a high periscope than a low one. I can only hope that there will be a future sub simulation that takes these things into account.
