Trying to get the periscope and the periscope fairing to raise separately but at the same time.

A periscope fairing is the teardrop shaped thing that goes around the periscope to reduce drag and help prevent damage to the scope itself.
EDIT: Here's a picture for everybody.

Ahh OK I get what you mean, so for example on the 688i mod its the, for lack of a better description.. white tear shaped area before the actual scope head with the random black splotches? One last thing, what are these splotches used for :s?

Those random splotches are camouflage.

Russian subs will be included. The extent of the details is unsure at the moment though.

Actually only the Virginia has the new photonics masts if I remember correctly. They may have added them to the Seawolf class.
