Default Binocular

When I sail "decks awash" I can't use my binocular(everyone on the bridge).
Is it normal in WOS?

Hi hcs

Yes, that is quite normal when at decks awash.

Hi hcs

You have to put it into the game context rather than reality.
The temptation to constantly over use decks awash rather than being fully surfaced is the reason.
If the need to use the binoculars occurs then you have to be fully surfaced.

I am not sure of this but I think I once read that when you are decks awash your crew will not spot contacts as well...can somebody confirm this? To be honest i think that the crew not spotting contacts is penalty enough. I would really like to have use of binoculars.
