SH3 and all big mods don´t use minimum ranges, execpt for sonars. But for radars, it is not correct. ASV Mk I had a minumum range of about 1km (0.5nm), ASV Mk II. even 1,8km (1nm). These large minimum ranges were the reason for the introduction of the Leigh Lights, because the planes lost contact in dark nights when narrow approaching. One has to correct this wrong minimum ranges (for german AI search radar, too).

I don´t want to tell you what to do, but if you take these wrong minimum sizes, you´ll lose the above mentioned effect. Btw. if Stiebler ist correct with the introduction of 3cm Muecke Antenna for Naxos in January, 1944, the only "gap" for german search radar left, is between March, 1943 and Oktober, 1943. At all other phases, it seems to be that there was at least theoretically one RWR which was fitted to allied radar.
