Two questions for vets from a new SH3 player

Hello all.

Used to post here in the SH2 days. Maybe someone remembers me. Anyway...not terribly new to subsims, but new to this one.

Question 1: is it realistic to be able to raise the periscope while submerged at a great depth (say 100 meters) and be able to see the draft of the DD that is stalking you? I seem to remember not being allowed/able to use the periscope when deeper thant 50 or so meters in SH2. What is realistic here?

Question 2: does anyone have any tips for identifying ships? I have been having a difficult time distiguishing between C2's and C3's, for example. I mean advanced tips. I know the basic stuff. First look for how many stacks. Then see how many masts. However, many ships have the same number of masts. Any tips...other than, you know, look harder?

Thanks,
SKinner
