Which Radar?
 
I have recently upgraded to the FuMo-30. With the FuMo-29 I could get a picture of a convoy at night in stormy weather. The FuMo-30 hasn't been able to do that so far.

So my question is, which of the available radars is best adapted for sub use?

So far, I'm considering going back to the FuMo-29.

Thanks in advance.

Well, as I have understanded, that the FuMo-30 is more unstable at storm. When I had the FuMo-29 (and still have) I notice that on the storm it quite rapidly switches On and Off, due to the high waves I think.

Also, I remember that the FuMo-30 has wider area of radar, but less range.

Stick to the Fumo-30, as Fumo-29 only has a +/- 10 degree arc, so you have to physically turn your u-boat around to get a full sweep.

FuMo-30....if your playing GWX, check the manual http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

No radar.

You will get detected by using radar far more than you ever detect other ships.

But in a storm, where you can't see more than 30 m. And have radar detector.
Inside a convoy, its really, REALLY usefull. You can dodge the DD's while you hunt the ships.
And more usefull when you got some of the Escorts & DD's destroyed

TBH I sometimes find the radar detector to be of much more benefit. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

It truly is, I recommend everyone to get that than anything else.

I tend to agree that the FuMo-29 is the best stormy weather radar, but I am learning that with the FuMo-30, as soon as I hear "Detecting Radar signals" its time to head below water.

Thanks guys.

Any radar is perhaps imo only practical in heavy fog/rain. It gives your position away.
29 makes your boat look stupid, like it's wearing a daiper.

Many great warmachines and technology's devices tend to look stupid. I myself don't give a damn about the looks of them, and probaly most of us don't too (Womens are execption).

Aparently the humor about the 29 is over your head.
Don't fret about it cheif, stick to what works for you. :ping:
