ddrgn, what was the reason to lower the scope depth at 14m? I searched the uboat.net and found no evidence that the attack scope was bellow 3m+ above sea level...

Personal preference.

IN stock ordering peri depth is 11/12 meters, personally I don't like the scope sticking out to high when I go peri depth, I lowered it so I can manually adjust my depth. In different sea conditions in stock as well, 11/12 meters will have your boats bow and stern popping out in swells, which is quite lame.

In real life periscope depth wasn't a set control, it was a command, a captain could alter to whatever he felt should be periscope depth, and I am quite certain he would adjust his depth to get the best view w/o his scope poking out 3 meters in the air.

This setting gives you more control especially under TC, you order peri depth and your scope will breach slightly and if you want up more, manually adjust it. In different sea conditions its position varies, and from boat to boat of course.

Also most sites/reports/logs report periscope depth to "around" 15 meters ;]

Another thing would be I like my boat lower in the water. During convoy attacks its easy to forget about the DD's buzzing around when focusing on target freighters. The deeper your boat is the less chance of being split in two after being rammed.
