I can see that - makes sense after you say that. I guess if the UI were a bit different than the left/right arrows it would better imply that.

But then again I'm not trying to nit-pick on an eleven year old game's interface, especially when my first game was Pong back in '77 and the graphics blew me away.

I still think it's backwards.. Trying to rack my brain to remember from personal experience.
I think I'm about 95% certain it's backwards..lol

It just throws me off every time I use it.

Guess I should just let it be..that and the shortcut to PD is 67'..where did they come up with that one

Pressing left hand mouse button within periscope viewing field makes the peri to rotate left and right in more intuitive way. Left half to the left and right half to the right. Little hand icon appears when in field of view.Sure, again, maybe not too realistic, but after all DW is just a computer game.

In DW there are some annoying quirks here and there. For me my biggest beef is with the double 3D targets appearing on the surface even after you acquire them visually. IMHO at that time once you see something there should be no ambiguity. Or, maybe, I am doing something wrong here....
