The observation scope did indeed have a wider field of view, it had a larger head to go with it, hence it was not as stealthy as the attack scope. It could be tilted to look strait up if needs be to allow for better observations of air activity. Its larger apperture gave it better night vision than the attack scope so it was sometimes also refered to as the 'night scope'. would be cool if this could be added to game, the obs scope was better for submerged attacks at night. The only draw back to using the obs scope was that it was not connected to the TDC and any bearings etc had to be called out and entered manually into the computer. Both had the same zoom settings of 1.5x and 6.0x. Both also had targeting lines, though they may not have been the same. I'm not sure but I think the obs scope was also fitted with a radar range finder later in the war.
