Yes, this is correct: C nodes werer meant for radar warning receivers, and D for radio direction finders. The new SH5 obj_sensor controller doesn't accept these types. I wonder if using the old SHIII controller on SH5 units would work for the missing sensors

Centimetric radars were approx 100mm wavelength and 10cm x 10cm = 0.01 m2 i.e many times more sensitive than the 0.3m2 listed.
Again, your assumption seems reasonable; going by what I know about wave propagation in general, long wavelenghts would basically "jump" over small targets. However, nowhere I have read that radar sensitiveness and wavelenght used are in direct relation. On the contrary, most sources I have consulted state that wavelenght has an effect on detection accuracy which, I think, is a slightly different concept.
