Why would you need two scopes to begin with? I don't see any difference in range...

The attack scope had a smaller head that poked up above the surface and was more difficult to spot. You give up light gathering ability though. Used for daylight submerged attacks.

The observation scope had a much bigger head and could gather more light. Of course with the bigger head sticking up above the surface, it could raise a bigger wake, making it easier to spot.

I think magnification settings were the same, but not sure off hand.

Oh yeah...and Welcome Aboard!

I like to set my attack scope at the firing bearing (firing ballistically using trigonometry). Rather than move my attack scope off that bearing, I pull it down and pop up my observation scope to look around.

The attack scope is finicky and getting it set to a half degree can be a frustrating experience. Once I get it set, I want to leave it alone until trigger time.

Observation scope is supposedly easier for the enemy to spot so use sparingly.
