I do not know if this is relaistic... but to 100m even at night I can see them.

Until you get in the situation I got into once where a DC bounced off the lens of my periscope and exploded.



:rotflsorry this sounds so funny... I know that moment it was not)
how far was the scope out? I just get it out enough to have a good look around...
I had been persued by a destroyer in SHIII's default weather system (The megastorm). After an hour or so of being persued, I heard the engines of the destroyer get quieter and quieter and then vanish. So I assumed that it was gone. I went to persicope depth, raised the periscope about halfway and heard a *klunk* looked up, and the damn destroyer was sitting directly above me. Abruptly, I see the thing start it's engines and take off as I'm ordering a crash dive. I then see all these cans coming down in the water too close for comfort and one hit the periscope and blew up.

Yeah.. I'm that lucky.
