Radar Depth - Help please

[Nauticalwolf]

I've been using Anvart's great SDantena_UpDown mod and was wondering how far out of the water the antena mast should protrude when running at Radar depth; or whether any part of the tower should also be above the surface?

As Avant is using snorkel depth to set radar depth I thought I could adjust my snorkel depths to give me the correct amount of exposed mast height :yep: . (at full extension)

I only run V1.4 and dont use any of the "supermods" so hopefully there shouldn't be any problems adjusting the depth in the configs.

I've googled for a day and haven't been able to find any photos or references detailing how deep radar depth was.

Was wondering if anyone had an idea?

There is no "radar depth" in the un-modded game, I'm under the impression this is a new feature introduced by mods like TM and RFB. At periscope depth, that looks about right for the raised SD radar, which will indeed raise that high.

But true "radar depth" should allow you to use the SJ radar as well. Try between 45 and 48ft.

Snorkel depth = radar depth for the American subs in the CFG files (/data/submarine).

Thanks CCIP

Was the SJ also raised or should I just adjust the depth so that it is out of the water as well?

Thanks LukeFF

I noticed in the stock game its set at 15m for all. Thought that I would adjust it to give different radar depths to the various boats?
