As for the game playing experience - radar wheel for FuMO-29 is turning slower compare to other antennas.
If you actually operating station -you will see the wheel making full turn. If you leave station and just watch it-
you will see radar wheel skip everything between 30 degrees and 330 degrees. So it takes even faster time to
complete full scan (if we can call 60 degrees "full"). When you take manual control - I recommend switch for
"focus" mode and check for contacts manually. It does not apply for aircraft - they detected automatically.
Believe me - without hydrophone on the surface in heavy rain and fog it is better have some kind of radar than
nothing at all.
In order to make real full scan with this device - you can use real WWII maneuver that was done by U-Boat commanders
and circle with the boat while in "focus" mode.
In any case you will be very happy to upgrade for FuMO-30 and better versions LOL.

I came to see if there was a bug with this radar. Im in heavy fog and was trying to use it to find a convoy that should be close. I couldnt figure out why the wheel turns so slow and skips lol. I am diving next time I go back into game and doing the 4 bearings method lol. I swear evertime I find a convoy its in the fog
I am ready for FuMO-30
