I'm running "stock" gwx, if there is such a thing... haven't even looked in JSGME, yet... for I hear there be dragons...
in any case, you're probably right... but I'm not sure if that's going to stop me from doing it anyways ![]() ![]() |

Water is too dark and murky to see very far with a periscope, and the seals on them aren't strong enough to handle being raised at any great depth.

When you get around to installing mods, you MUST use this. It is easy IF YOU READ THE ******* MANUAL!!! ![]() If you encounter any problems, there are many here who will help you. SH3 without mods is like a honneymoon without a wife (or husband, depending upon your sex preference). ![]() Welcome aboard.

Don't worry. Be happy with JSGME. You're missing out if you don't use any of the huge selections of mods out there produced by many talented modders. JSGME makes it a breeze to enable/disable mods. As far as the scope goes- Not only will it leak at depth and the water is too dark, I doubt the hoist would be strong enough to raise it at depth as well. There's alot of sea pressure pressing down on the scope that the hoist has to overcome. Lowering it, if you could get it up ![]() I don't know if u-boats had a hydraulic lift for the scopes or an electric motor. I believe US fleet boats used hydraulics to raise/lower scopes. ![]()

There actually should not be much water pressure along the axis of the periscope - most of it would be trying to compress the scope inwards towards its axis.
But the word around here is: 1) You would historically be limited to speeds under like 5 knots or it could break off/bend your periscope. 2) You could not see far underwater through the periscope. 3) The seals, while fine when operating statically at depth, would probably not tolerate operating dynamically, that is, with the periscope moving up and down and twisting, at very much depth. |

A bit of realism that was really needed.

I've heard about this h.sie fix... i think I'll google it for my next career. Changing the rules mid-patrol feels... wrong somehow :P

Well worth it. The periscope fix that h.sie came up with is perfect. Your periscope blurs if you go a little too fast and is unusable if you are going too fast. No more running around at flank speed while submerged and looking through your scope. There are other fixes as well like no more kicking the WO out of bed when you surface. Now he gets his butt out of bed himself and goes up to the bridge automatically. ![]()
