underwater obserwing with OBS

Almost. It's not the glass, but the seals in the periscope shaft that can't take the pressure. And yes, it is too dark to use the periscope to look at things above from underwater. Some players use this to watch depth charges falling. I've seen no record of anyone ever actually doing that.

i do, warships are in the night using reflectors so you guess by a beams direction and shape possition of vessel above .. but if it is not realistic i won't use it .. in the final it always works a same: when you hear motors above you just set full speed ahead to avoid a depth charges :P

i play it hardcore, no loads (reloading game on torpedo miss or submarine death) at all .. if i die, i usually create new captain leaving current KIA .. it's pretty hardcore and i'm even in June 1940 on my 10th patrol .. seems to me, that i'm getting worse in each patrol .. on last patrol (reffered above) i sunk only 2x 3.5k vessels / 13 torpedos in water, in this patrol i set on the floor only one 5k tanker / 4 torpedos (1/2 T2 hits, 2/2 T1 hits to ?finish it) .. i'm starting to think that this will be final result if weather won't come wiser ..
