Did the Attack Periscope really extend 15m high ? Always seemed to high thought it was more like 12-13M

The mod "U-boot Historical Specifaction 1.4" set most boat settings to historical values.

This mod is within MO

If I want to use UHS with IRAI, FX Update, BRF and NewUI/TDC where should I put it in the mod lineup? First, last, middle somewhere?

Normaly I'm going to 25 to 30m. Sonarrange is quite ok there, but my sonarguy should get a hearing aid.
I'm running TDW's SH5.exe patch 0.2 but he reports no contacts when I still can hear the traget sitting at the hydrophone personaly.
Does someone have a solution for this behaviour?

Should be:-
UHS
UI by TDW
FX by TDW
FX with BFR full by TDW
FX with UHS by TDW
IRAI by TDW
Depth fix by TDW - would go here if you wanted to use it

Sorry I have noy used the correct name

Edit: fixed order

I thought it has changed like stoianm posted in IRAI thread:

Thanks for the list Trevally. I could be mistaken but I think the order is now to have NewUI before FX Update. Either way, you've told me that UHS goes before BOTH of them so that's what I wanted to know. Thanks.

I find it hard to believe that the periscope could extend to 16 m

i am sure that at 15 metters was extented... and actually i think this is the most immersive depth for periscope depth... or maybe you want to put you at 12 and to be seen in diferent sea condition?

IIRC, I could dive 15 meters and still see a bit in the scope, but barely. After that it was simply not possible to see anything, it maybe depends on the sea's condition.

ok... than 14 metters will be the most immersive

I agree. I always thought the attack periscope raises too high in SH5. Not sure if it's a mod or stock. It looks ridiculous when it's raised all the way. There's no way it would fit down into the sub when retracted. I think I remember seeing a mod that changes this....something like "realistic periscopes"

Yes... It is too high.

Can easily be changed.
Here's how :-
First make a back up of your Data folder.

Using goblinEditor open the file "UBoot_Sensors.GR2" data\objects\sensors
Then choose merge from the file menu.
select "UBoot_sensors.sim" data\objects\sensors

Then in the project tree double click on "obj_Extensible @ atack_periscop_wire"
Click on obj_Extensible
And change the max height (It was at 8 meters. I changed mine to 4.6 meters).
