Re Jaxa - sources of radar detector data:
Various sources combined -
Roskill's 'War at Sea'
A. Price 'Aircraft versus Submarine'
Roessler 'The U-boat'
C. Blair 'Hitler's U-boat War'
BdU war diary.
Various U-boat war diaries (KTBs) cited in my own book (whose title I won't mention here).
Re GouldJG - proposal for sensors mod group.
Good idea, but I regret I don't have the time to participate myself.
The modified radar detectors will appear in the next issue of RUb - provided Beery remembers!
My objective in improving the radar detectors was to give the SH3 player a chance of escaping the relentless aircraft attacks while retaining any existing mods already added to sensors.dat. Accuracy wasn't really necessary but, since I was doing it, I thought I might as well get it right. Incidentally, there is terrible confusion in the published literature about the radar detectors. No memoirs of former U-boatmen are reliable (all are biased by what BdU told them during the war), and sources in the English language are blighted by translation difficulties. For example, confusion between Borkum and Fliege; between Bug and Wanze.
