3d modeling issue i beleive.
My educated guess is this:
Appendages to the uboat (perisopes, torpedo tubes, masts, antenna, etc) are individual prefabircated 3d models that must attach to a special "node" in order to work properly in the coding/mechanics of the game.
. (if you can get the exterior view to clip right, you can see right into a uboat model and see how all the tubes, periscopes, etc are individual modeled).
For example, the GEMA radar is attched to a node on the front of the conning tower. If attenas must attach to a node, then to get it to work properly on top of the conning tower would involve create a new node. For whatever reason ubi didn't do this and as a quick fix to get things working, put the mattress style radar mast on the same node the GEMA uses.
The same theory can be applied to all aerials. The model was done, but no node to attach them was created. So they just sit there.
Again, thats a guess.
