Default Obser.Scope with larger view (W.i.P)

Greetings to all once again!

I just want to show you my another small project i working on right now.

Observation periscope with larger view, example:



------------
As you can (well at least i hope you can) see, the Observation scope is larger compare to Atack scope and at least it make some sense now. I don`t like the idea to have the same size view for both and its a best i can made for now .

There is some things that needs to be changed, but i belive it will not take to much time.
Your opinion, advice or critism are most welcome

Dimitrius, I like your idea very much.
imo there is indeed a need for more difference between the scopes.
I mean there must be more reason to use the observation scope. Your idea just gives us that reason. Plus is makes more sense now. Great idea!

Well, one difference is the obs.scope ability to look upwards, before you surface, so you can check if any airplanes are around...

Another way to have more reason to use the Observation Periscope is to never use the F3 key. If you always climb to the conning tower to use the attack scope, you now have three mouse clicks instead of one button. Just clicking on the 'O' scope is much easier, and more realistic.

I read info on websites (don`t remember the adress right now) about it and you are right - but thise is not all .

First as you sad the ability to look upwards
Second a larger Head (not by much as far as i understand) with a larger view.

Use of atack and Observation scopes
Atack scope - Day (submerget atack - observation)
Observation scope - (night observation - navigation porpuses)

The atack and observation scope has a eqiment for firing solution and AOB tracker.
---------
Sorry for possible English mistakes

I also can be 100% shure that the info i wrote is correct but at least to me it make sense.
I will finish thise small job anyway, the rest is up to people here
