Periscope color filters and late war scope customized for TMO Update.

These are from the OPCF(Observation Periscope Color Filter) mod originally created by subsim member Arclight, with some changes for compatability with TMO Update BH.

Remember, US subs did not have a "night periscope". (The label of such in TMO has been changed in forthcoming release, as I finally found out how to do this, it will be properly labeled as 'observation periscope') Since night surface attacks are now possible, the observation (night scope) is , as historically accurate, only useful for night attack when there is moonlight light such as a full moon. Attack scope is basically useless at night, as it should be. However, some subs did use red filters. Other colors have been used but only aware of red. I included green and yellow filters in addition to red for those who prefer those colors.

First, I highly suggest that you adjust your gamma settings. Start up a patrol, wait until nigh fall, hit Esc, go to graphics settings, use the gamma slider to adjust, exit back and see how it works for you, change accordingly. Each rig is different so will have to adjust to find what works for you. For me, its just over a quarter of the way from the left. With the dark nights, this enables me to see targets at realistic ranges in the darker nights of TMO. Obviously, a smaller vessels is going to be more difficult to spot than a larger one. The AI's visuals are unaffected gamma changes.
