My way of looking at it: The 'scope has to extend thirty feet or so. It certainly isn't going to do it instantly. The default time is fine. If y'all wanna speed it up, that's fine... but don't claim it's historical.

good point, but:
in WW2 the scopes weren't electric, but mechanic with contra weights which will make it a lot faster. and the movie was just an example.
and besides... it a freaking game, so only if you'd caught me cheating on a real sub, u can tell me I'm a bi ach XD |
If I'm not mistaken it was done with a hydralic pump. I also believe the entire assembly is around 2000 pounds. As far as the movies, do not take what you see as how it really was.
Also, the nice way you display swear words needs to stop. If you believe you have arrived at some half baked forum, think again.
