that is correct. The wires running fore and aft to the conning tower are really the radio antenna wires. I made the one one that looks like a periscope raise as you submerge (and just barely stick out of the water) to simulate a radio antenna.

it creates a wake at periscope depth. I'd assume that'd give my position away when I'm at periscope depth, more so than with just a periscope. Is that the case?

purely visual eye-candy for the wakes created by the scopes, radio antenna, and DF loop.
