Real submarines use the scope almost exclusively for ASuW, to the point of almost disregarding sonar...we don't need it. We can SEE the guy for crying out loud.

Unfortunately, a lot of the real functionality found in the persicope is not very well emulated in the game. In game, sonar is a MUCH better choice. IRL, not so much. The deal with the scope is that you have to have some knowledge of tactics and effective periscope employment methods to use it well, and you're not going to find that on the internet.


Would you rather fire a gun at a moving target you can only hear, or one you can see?
