New to SH3, and some nitpicks

I bought Silent Hunter III in a Steam sale last week. I also found out about & installed the Grey Wolves eXpansion 3.0 soon thereafter.

So far, I'm very impressed! I just completed the first of the "Naval Academy" missions, and extended my cruise a bit to watch the sun set. Not a bad sunset for a computer game!

I was wondering about a few things though:

1) Why is it that the observation & attack periscope heads always face forward? Even if I leave them pointed towards the stern, then go back to the bridge view when on the surface, they look like they're facing forward.

2) Similar question about the UZO. Shouldn't the attack periscope housing be in the way when I look directly astern?
