underwater obserwing with OBS

hello,

little Q: .. i have SH3+GWX+sh3cmdr playing at 100% difficulty (no god's eye) and would like to ask, if using OBS (OBservation Scope, probably should be OBP - OBservation Periscope) when dived in some shalow depth is unrealistic .. i suppose so .. when you're around 50 meters even in night, you can easily track traversing destroyers by an eye using OBS and you see depth charges sinking, whatever ..

pff .. i stopped playing for some time, resting between patrols .. my last patrol ended up after 42 days with all (one remainded in back) torpedos out and only with 2 sunk ships in sum 7k tons .. most of the time rough seas and no visibility .. torpedos either malfunctioned or I just missed 4/5 times .. but as I say, 10/14 torpedos were fired at night at rough sea and at moderate distance to target (800 - 1200 m) .. too dangerous to come closer .. heavily guarded convoy .. i also hit at least once my first big (20k tons) battleship, but other torpedos missed .. frustrating to be captain of submarine .. we also received some damage but thanks to God we returned all in one piece back to our home port .. actually i am #5 in submarine aces rankings after 9 patrols with average 12k tons of destroyed enemy ships per patrol .. from long view still 50% torpedos either missed or malfunctionous ..

thanks for response and regards, ntz
