Observation Scope.

Hello again shipmates.

A quick question... is there a "game use" for the observation periscope? Or is it really just there for authenticity?

Second question - with 1.4 I believe the fast/slow and contact/influence settings for each torpedo are now properly implemented. What are the actual in-game consequences of these settings? I am guessing the fast/slow setting toggles the 2 different speeds listed for a torpedo, and thus the range. But is there a difference in, for example, the visibility of the torpedo to the deck crew? How come I get the fast/slow setting for electric torps with a fixed speed?

Also, what's the trade-off between influence/contact?

Sorry to load this first question up with a lot of other "sub-questions" (groan) but the realism of the game (quite rightly) makes it hard to draw comparisons by eye.

Cheers from the frozen North.
