That's what I thought, but it's not working for me in my GAR out of a Midway Career started on December 8, 1941.
After completing several patrols through late 41 and early to mid 1942 without SJ radar and anticipating one in June 1942:
Left Midway 6/19/42 - no SJ available, but I did get a cut down Conning Tower.
Arrived Midway 7/22/42 - SJ Not available.
Left Midway 8/8/42 - SJ not available.
Arrived Midway 8/29/42 - still no SJ available, and no Sub upgrade, despite accumulating 367,795 tons over six patrols. I was able to upgrade to a 4" deck gun (stern mount) and a twin 20MM AA gun.
I was really hoping for a surface radar, but no joy.
One other thing to mention is that as an experiment I added Webster's Stop the Shouting mod, and it worked! I sustained 58% damage to the hull in a deck gun exchange with a Jap submarine (he lost), and there was no shouting from an crewmember all the way back to Midway. I'm hoping someone will incorporate his mod into the next FOTARS Ultimate update, because that constant shouting after taking a little damage is irritating!
