I am using the 60M underwater visibility mod.....

However, I noticed that it only seems to affect the 'free cam' view, and not the 'follow sub/next ship' views. So far all I know, what I see through the scopes while underwater is stock view.


While perhaps not totally realistic, I am after all playing a game and I don't mind a little 'extra feature' here and there. I personally find it very cool to be 100 feet down, and look up through the obs scope to see which way that pesky DD is turning.

And since water visibility varied greatly by ocean, temperature, time of day, etc, who's to say it was never done in real life? Certainly seems plausible. At the very least, against the noonday sun, you could see the shadow of the escort passing overhead.


And sub nets and mines? In shalllow water lit by the sun? You bet you should crack open that scope and have a peek. You guys will save yourselves a ton of frustration, and it's sort of cool looking around underwater anyway.

That's how I got the sig pic of that pesky fish.
