Leaving Midway I wanted to see if all the ships around were showing and tested my newly acquired skill.
They were and everything seemed to be working so I set sail for Truk by way of Wake Island and turned on radar.
When I got to Wake I didn't get any contact report what so ever (didn't check for myself either tho) just my luck

so I continued to Truk.
1024-ed to Truk and when 40Nm from patrol area I set normal time, cautiously crept in closer on the surface but again no radar contacts...
Maybe I set radar at its lowest range so checked that and made a manual sweep while I was on station... It revealed 6 stationary vessels

.
I kept on sneaking in and and was hoping to get some report from radar stations. I got within 10Nm on a very clear day when the watch crew shouted "Ship spotted, sir"

.
Is something wrong or doesn't the game 'see' stationary vessel like watch crews sometimes don't seen vessels at long range when you can?
