Just completed my sixth successful patrol, earning awards and upgrades. My GAR (SS-208) now has a 4" Deck Gun, a twin 20mm AA gun, a cut-down conning tower, and the Improved SD Air Search Radar. Yet on 8/31/1942 I cannot get a surface radar of any vintage - simply not offered. I was under the distinct impression that surface radar was available in early 1942.

Is this a date error of some kind on the GAR files? Frankly, I was also expecting a newer boat by now too.

All of my patrols have been out of Midway. Have I set my radar and new boat expectations too high? Perhaps I was spoiled by TMO 2.5.
