The newer boats will have radar installed when you receive command of them. The developers of the game had plans on installing "covers" over the radar units (their in the 3D models) but they didn't implement them into the game. What you see, is what you get. SD radar (the air search radar) is on the boat, but the two screens you're seeing are only for the SJ radar (the surface search radar). You're told of an approaching plane through the Message Text Box only. You won't be able to see the plane using TMO's radar (when you do finally get it).
(Bolded the part I'm talking about)

But I installed surface search radar(as well as air radar) via the submarine setup thingy, where you can change guns and other equipment. That doesn't count?



Also the reason why it wasnt obvious to me to use the imperial system, is because, to be frank, in comparison to the uniform and logical metric system, it's quite stupid and I have no idea about the units, and having like 34 feet to the yard(making stuff up because I am clueless) and 120yards to the mile is quite weird. But I'll guess I just have to use it anyways. It's not like I would have to do much conversion anyways, just that it feels weird using a less pragmatic system of units.
