This was in the OP. Also it's not being detected that is my main peeve it is being shot square in the scope to the effect of "Observation Periscope Destroyed"
Try shooting a periscope with any direct-fire weapon from a relatively unstable naval firing platform, at night. Multiply that difficulty by 100 to achieve the impossibility of using ww2 radar to successfully attack and destroy a periscope that is extended only enough to breach the surface.
I could go on with examples of short-range blindspots and lack of crew experience and lack of radar equipment stories but I already feel bad for mocking your post.
It just seemed like a good reply. I appreciate the effort to help, however.
