Default Does the periscope has a wake?

Sorry for this stupid question, but I used the search option and found no results.
When you are travelling underwater, at periscope depth, looking at the sub from outside do you see a wake (foam) made by the periscope, like on Sh3?

I believe you do, yes. Though I rarely have my scope up long enough to notice


Yeah, usually some destroyers snapped the bloody thing off

Not having gotten the expansion yet I cant tell for sure, but in stock SH4 you would. I doubt thet would remove such a feature

And it seems to depend how fast your travelling too, from what I can tell. They seem to spot you much quicker if your really motoring underwater with your periscope up.

No periscope wake and there is no wake around the tower when diving either like in SH3 or stock SH4.
