100% agree. Please, please, remove conection betven observation and UZO/attack periscope/ observation periscope. Its super annoying.

Its also one of the things that prevent you to normaly play first person mode. When you leaved the station (UZO/ periscope) another officer takes over and you cant use UZO/periscope any more, your effective observation range drops after leaving UZO, after you go to periscope depth officer go to attack periscope, sailor assigned to him goes to observation periscope......madness! I just want to assign people if I want them to occupy UZO or periscope.

Observation on surface should be only through binoculars. Observation under water shouldnt even exist since you use hydrophone to find targets under water. I sugest just adding command for occupy periscope with possibility to make this command permanent on periscope depth for those players who want that option.

I see this as a simple thing to fix: if the officer will use a pair of binoculars to scan the horizon, only mounting the UZO once the target is assigned.
