And movie makers.
You're right that the periscope in 'We Dive at Dawn' comes faster and goes down much faster than the game periscope, but it's not really applicable, as the film is about a British sub, another Sea Tiger.
I would think that films of a certain era would have been filmed aboard a real sub, with the co-operation of the U.S. Navy and as more and more are de-commisioned, sets have to be made and things guesstimated.
@AVGWarhawk: I'm fairly sure I read somewhere, though didn't make a note of where, that the early installations were suspended from cables either side of the periscope, just above where the handles are and that these were later replaced with a hydraulic raise and lower mechanism for <can't remember reason> safety? I remember thinking at the tiome, that's an awfully large weight to get dropped if the cables snap. If what I read was true, the Torsk being late war would have been fitted initially with hydraulic?
