My question is little bit off topic but I figured that you or TheDarkWraith should now for sure because both of you got involved with periscope height adjustment in your mods.
Some time ago my observation periscope started extend just 3 meters and absolutely unusable if wind is more than 9 meters per second because of waves that covering it (in stock wave mode, nothing is enlarged). It is really annoying issue because during nights I have to use attack periscope that works just fine (but it's darker as you know). Attack periscope is extending for like 6+ meters and fully retracts. I can't even hide my observation periscope while at periscope depth - it does not retracts completely as it used to.
Can you advise me of files and locations that I can play with trying to change that?
I removed all the mods. Same thing.
I've uninstall the game, restarted PC and installed the game, trying to run stock version- same thing. Now I just put all my mods back.

I don't mind to to something even on HEX editing level, no problem.
Thanks.

P.S. My mods soup just in case:

#1 thing to remember when adding new MOD's.
- Make sure you are in port when activating MOD's.
- Enabling MODs while at Sea may cause unusaul behaviour

Not saying this is what happened, just something to keep in mind.

I think it was Stormfly or Anvart that did the math and pointed out that the Observation Periscope is suppose to be usable in calm sea at depth of approximately 15 meters. This is like extending the Obs Periscope 2.5 meters more then most available MODs.

You may want to add [WIP] FX Update by TheDarkWraith as last MOD.

The settings for ObsScope Extend height are located in this file
data\Objects\Sensors\UBoot_Sensors.sim

Thanks man. I've made a little solution after locating this file with your help and help from my Russian friends. Now I am very happy with my periscopes.

A quick look at the Sim doesn't even list a Search light.
To make it playable by User?
Work to the sim would be needed.
