Whatever one's justification, this seems patently ridiculous.

I'm not saying it's impossible to approach; as noted elsewhere in this forum, it's relatively easy to approach a ship and sink it while using the scope briefly and intermittently. I just find it a real immersion-killer to have to worry about supernatural lookouts when the only thing I'm exposing is my periscope and the target is still a miniscule speck on the horizon.

you got your self spotted at around 7000 metres??
that's the key you know.. YOU got YOURSELF spotted at 7000 metres...just out side maximum torpedo range??
i'm not here to defend the games idiosyncracies of which there are many lol
but that's what it boils down too..you ALLOWED your self to be spotted at 7000 metres because you didn't follow the correct scope depth approach procedures...and all that overly serious BS

wether you view it as realism ,gameplay or just plain weird..that's what happened
