StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19481231 ; Should be 19451231 but has no effect.
[Sensor 2]

EndDate=19430601
[Sensor 3]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=ASVMarkIII
StartDate=19430601
EndDate=19440601 ; this is the end of stock file 
[Sensor 4] ; proposed fix that gives it radar after June 1944

Hi!
RUb 1.45 has the following entry for Wellington sensors:
[Sensor 1]
NodeName=O01
LinkName=AI_Visual
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19481231
[Sensor 2]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=ASVMarkII
StartDate=19420401
EndDate=19430601
[Sensor 3]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=ASVMarkVI
StartDate=19430601
EndDate=19451231
My research indicates several variants of the Vickers Wellington bomber were produced for RAF Coastal Command (maritime and ASW patrol) during the course of the war. Of these,
- 394 Wellington G.R. Mk. VIII bombers were equipped with ASV Mk. II radar; some night variants with Leigh lights
180 Wellington G.R. Mk. XI bombers were equipped with ASV Mk. II or Mk. III radars.
58 Wellington G.R. Mk. XII bombers were equipped with ASV Mk. III radar and Leigh lights
841 Wellington G.R. Mark XIV bombers were equipped with ASV Mk. III and Leigh lights
I am not familiar with an "ASV Mark VI" or "ASV Mark VII" radar, although there were Air Intercept (AI) Mark VI and AI Mark VII radars, I don't know they would work to find a submarine. Assuming the SH3 "MarkIII" is the same as the real-life "Mk. III" you might want to use a Mk. III starting in 1943 instead of a "Mark VI", "Mark VII", or some such.
