G'day Simpson(simo251)petramylov,

Your sub is equiped with two periscopes, the observation 'scope and the attack 'scope. The obs' 'scope is housed in the command room and the attack 'scope is housed in the conning tower.

There is a stock bug which makes the obs' 'scope rise a few meters on loading.

At any time and from any where you can controll the 'obs 'scope with the 'Page up'(up) and 'Page down'(down) keys and the attack 'scope with the 'Insert'(up) 'Delete'(down) keys.

Sorry if I've stated the bleedin' obvious btw, I don't mean to be condescending.

3 you say? Depending on your mods you can maybe see the HFDF radio antenna? It doesn't stick up too high though.

Default thanks

yeah thats it is on the side of the conning tower not center like the attack and observation scope its also like a a parascope just with a spike top but it looks just like the others just with a spikey tip it comes up just as i go under to parascope deph and if i go deeper it goes back down into the sub . it comes up through a black circle hole .but i just think its guna be seen by the enemy shipes when i cruise at parascope deph .do u know what its for and can it be lowered and raised .thanks for you letting me know what it is anyways

That's not a periscope, it's a radio antenna.
