Can't look through periscope that way, i use realistic water transparency - some 3 meters. Only thing that will may help me on my next career is map of mined areas. I must have been extremely unlucky if it was a mine cause it was my main spot of waiting and searching enemy ships (1939-early 1940) and i did never hit something there before. Ahh...i wish there is some replay so i can watch what really happened. Whatever it was it totally destroyed forward torpedo room (turned it red), heavily damaged radio room, almost destroyed conning tower etc. etc.
