Realistic patrols

Sailor Steve, I like your tips. How would you make a submerged attack going faster than 3 knots without using your periscope? As for reloading, I mostly sail using silent running while submerged anyway. I have to wait until I'm clear of all hostile ships before reloading.
I will use your tips, just please explain the 3 knot one.

I don't remember the exact source, but several players have said that it was next to impossible to see anything at higher submerged speeds due to the periscope vibrating. Apparently there was also some minor risk of bending the thing, or at least upsetting the delicate optics.

Archeologists holding onto your periscope can also cause that


Yes, that's Indiana Jones holding on a periscope in a deleted scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark lol

I jost tested in SM at 8kts and it's clear and no vibrations or damage.

That was only in GWX without Stieblers mod.

I guess in theory you could use your hyrophone, but never attempted this myself, so can't say
