The real periscopes also were quite dark since the periscope head did not let much light in.

I bet any submarine commander in WW2 would have killed to be able to see targets as clearly as you are able to on your PC Monitor

There are reasons why submarines where encouraged to get as close as possible to their targets, and also why they preferred surface attacks at night.

Being able to see and identify your target is one of those reasons.
