Thank you
Early air warning radar would normally indicate the presence of aircraft via a vertical spike on the A-Scope as seen in the pic below:


I have never personally seen (or attempted to see) this in-game. I believe the advent of advanced systems with the PPI would display a blip on the screen much like the surface search radar scope. I don't know/recall if these air warning systems (w/PPI) were ever actually compact enough to place in a fleetboat which may account for the A-Scope's continued use in the subs.
