Why have 2 periscopes?

Ahh nice that actually having 2 scopes is modeled in SHIII. However they semed to have reversed the funtions lol.. the attack parascope has a x10 zoom, the observation only x4.5 zoom.

On this topic, what orders of magnification did uboat periscopes actually have? Thought I read that it was less than x10. Also, I read somewhere that a sub couldnt go more than 5 knots with the perisope up and have it be usable due to vibration. Is that true?
