Ever had enemy destroyers detect you on the surface way before you even see them? When you first sight them they are already headed straight for you. There is a reason.
There are two types of japanese radar are modelled in the game: type 13 which is only air search and type 21 which also detects surface targets. The bottom line is:
AIR SEARCH RADAR ON JAPANESE SHIPS IS DETECTING SURFACE TARGETS (IE. INCLUDING OUR SUB). See the mods forum for the thread detailing the detection of the problem.
The same bug exists for the radar on US subs. The problem is the air search radar is available much earlier than the type 21, so many enemy ships currently have an unrealistic detection capacity in the early war era, '42 to '43.
The fix is to put a "NULL" entry on the air search (type 13) radar for all ships while we figure out the radar error. This is done individually for each ship in a file called: Sea/Shipname/Shipname.sns
Special thanks to tater for helping me to nail this down.
