Default Periscope Depth

Is it just me? When I order PD my depth is now 14 to 15 ft. Even on smooth water it's barley sticking up. On rough seas it is almost impossible to see anything. I even have a tough time getting it up to the right depth. I'm running 1.2 and DW's UI mod.

Which boat are you in? VIIA? VIIB/C/C41? Also are you using other mods, perhaps UHS which changes the periscope depth?

Same Issue here, just got the VIIB boat, and now I can´t see anything in the Observation periscope. the Attack periscope is still oki though.
I´m also using DW´s mod, but not sure thats the one to "blame".

Well I'm in 1940 around Norway. I did accept the command once for a new boat though. I've taken out DW's mod and it made no difference. I'm not running any mods that changes the sub files. I'm using the MFCrew mod and the morale mod. I am going to take them all out tonight though just to make sure.

Are you using the twisty periscope thingie mod? That changes the height of the periscopes, but it's a problem from the game, not the mod. The mod just reactivates stuff the devs turned off.

HA! That's another thing. I use the morale mod and that stupid cook always refuses to make his special soup. Everything is enabled in his screen. Any ideas. I'm ready to throw him overboard!

If you're using the MoraleMod still, you don't need the cook's soup since there's no morale to raise.
