What parameter sets the depth for optics on the bridge

Deck Awash is a mod added feature, not in the original game as far as I understand. It was added by modders and it is a limitation they could not overcome.

Actually decks awash is part of the stock game, you just have no real control over it. When you leave port your sub is "surfaced", and once you dive and re-surface the interface states you are "decks awash" when you hover over your sub.

I believe the issue could lay in the fact the mod changes the behaviour of decks awash making it slightly deeper thereby making the uzo etc vanish due to a hard coded depth value for instrumentation on the bridge deck.

Frankly I find the uzo to be detrimental to a surface attack with all its bouncing up and down and its limited view. The only solution I can think of in gameplay terms is to use a periscope instead of the uzo. Its more stable and has a better field of view.

Ah so there is no way to change when the things that work surfaced "switch off", and likely the same goes for the hydrophone. It is hard coded into the sim. That's sad as it was my understanding that surface torpedo attacks were done by use of the Uzo, along with Deck watch.
