Oservation scope saves lives.

I figured out that you can use the observation scope when running deep to look up at the surface and see destroyers dropping on you and also the direction they drop so I know which way to jink to get the most distance beetween me and the Wasserbomb when it goes off. even at 200 meters depth you can see above you quit clearly. Yoy can also use it to stay under a ship in convoy if forced under so that the escorts cant get to you. Then i wait getting deeper and deeper drop a bit behind the transport im under go flank and then jink left or rightthru the convoy going silent after i jink. That usually throw the escorts off.

Anybody else try this? (Note has to be observation scope not attack scope because observation scope can look directly up)

Yep, lots of people claim to use it. I don't, since I keep the water so murky I can barely see my own bow through the periscope.

I have the watter also set more "dirty" via Sh3cmdr (10 I think)... yet I use this "trick" .. got to go down to 5 I guess

Nothing gets your heard beat faster than seeing a DD pass right above you and dropping triple loads of DCs

Never used that. In nighttime it must be impossible.

I do use the obs scope to wait out a storm at 40-60 meters or so. You can see the waves and tell whether the storm is still there.

Noob question for me but are GWX and sh3cmdr cumulative, can i use both of them?

No they're not, and yes you can. SH3 Commander is an external tool. It runs off your desktop and allows you to change a huge number of things with one click, as well as giving realistic crew names and other options. It works with any mod, as long as you use the mod-specific files that come with it.

Very easy to use, and it only changes what you ask it to. I wouldn't live without it.
