Hi! in calm sea even with sun, I usually keep attack periscope (that have a smaller head than observation one) just 1 meter or less over water surface..

I sow that in this manner, I can be stealth by DD!

I don't think that GWX simulates sun flashing reflections to detect your periscope, rather it uses periscope hight from water surface to assign a visibility level parameter (maybe in addition with a diffuse day/night light intensity parameter, too).
So check your periscope hight by using water level column!

Anyway, my tactic is stay deep as I can and let the lead DD goes over me.. than i go on periscope depth in silent running (DD can't listen me anymore because I am on its stern) and just watch for a beautyful target... Sometimes it works..sometime no!

good hunting!
