In a word, sorta. Fleetboats didn't have an "observation" periscope. They had a night periscope. Main difference was the night scope had a bigger apeture to allow more light in. While the attack periscope's tip, much resembled a broomstick handle in size. The choice of textures for the night and attack scope on my part was very deliberate. Here's some earlier screenshots to illustrate:

I keep reposting this. I wrote it some years ago for SH3, but the same principles apply.

well i know one periscope is shorter then the other. Only applies to prewar conning tower. To the best of my knowledge, this descrepency in periscope height is historically correct. However, if i adjusted for the night periscope and not the attack periscope for the periscope depth command, then i made a boo boo.
