Can we talk about Periscopes??

I always see pictures of real u-boats on the surface and they usually always have 1 or both of their periscopes UP, extended either all the way or half way..

What was the point of this? I can only think they were getting a better view because of the vantage point, but is this true?

Finally..I seem to NEVER use my OB. Periscope during the game. I always using my attack scope.. Is there a reason to look at the other one? I mean I understand it can tilt up to see the sky, but would that be the only reason for it?

THANKS!
