i use both periscopes as that's how they actually watched out for aircraft (Herbert Werner's book). it works even in game. true, i travel at 246x TC, which sometimes gives me enough visual time to spot aircraft. i could care less about destroyers. they hardly touch me even in 44 (VII 41 - 250m depth). its the aircraft. by the time they get to me i am 30m under and at 7 knots flank yet they get my position exactly and knock out everything with one pass. thats what bugs me. they just dont miss. i think they are overly accurate.

but travelling with schnorkel to charge batteries only is a good idea. i only come to surface late nite for a few hours, then i am under again. that must have been an awful way to travel, 18 hours a day under the surface.
