German U-boats and the "High Scope" Technique

pro's being that because your higher you can see farther over the horizon then you could at conning tower level.
cons? you're effectively sticking a silhouette on the horizon for other ships to see, if your using magnification and looking one way you could get jumped by a destroyer from behind.

tbh i've actually been doing this in game already, it does help a little to have a bit of hight to see those really far off smoke stacks
