The real world radar worked perfectly, in that the contact would be the strongest at the bearing the radar was actually poiting. It's the SH4 radar that is all screwed up. Adjusting the boats course won't do anything to help, as the radar gives a relative bearing, unfortunately.

It was extremely accurate for range, within 25 yards give or take 0.1% of the range. The bearing could be measured with lobe switching to within a quarter of a degree (according to the manual), but it took time to do this, so sight was the preferred method for bearings and radar for range.
