Ok, some follow ups then:

IRL, is there any data to indicate that the radar used by Allied forces in WWII had a minimum range?

Also, again, IRL, is there any data to conclude that radar was significantly effected by the deflection of the u-boat or its surface radar signature due to the sea state?

There are some mentions to tactics in regards to these conditions in the u-boat KTB's, but considering how the Germans came to the conclusion that the British were picking up on their RWR emissions, I am hesitant to even begin to believe this conclusion.
