Have we been able to confirm whether or not the height of the scope actually makes a difference in the game?

I had assumed all along that it did... but the reason I question this now is the other day I was fired upon by an escort while submerged, with the scope partially lowered so it was under water, but not completely in down in the well.

Now it's possible - but not likely given the smooth sea state at the time - that the scope broke the surface and was spotted. But it got me thinking. Maybe the game, for detection purposes, simply sees the scope as either fully lowered... or not. Or perhaps the up/down cut off point is the surface itself? Either of which would mean that an inch above water is as good as mile...

Thoughts?
