It brings in more light, and since you're at roughly 45 foot instead of 62 for the radar, you won't need much of a rise to use it. The <Delete> key lowers it, or you can use the push button to bring it fully down. Between the radar and the Observation periscope, you might get enough info to actually attack with. That is all.

Radar Depth = Decks Awash ? I haven't tried that yet - my experience so far is that the hydrophone gives the same info but works both above and below the water. Range is a little weaker, though ? IIRC once in awhile the radar displays bigger icons for some contacts but otherwise no advantage in discerning escort vs merchant.
Thx for the observation scope tip but I tried this twice before without noticing any improvement. But I guess there are some weather conditions where nothing helps . . .
