Hope this helps.
In the game do Allied radar detectors really work though? I was in a light fog at night once , shadowing a convoy and flicked it on looking for a blip. Got the blip and adjusted course, no escort came to track me down. Okay, put radar on continuously, still no escorts. I guess the easy work around would be to play as it would be done historically and keep it turn off. But if the programmers didn't programme it correctly ...

Anyway, anyone else found that Allies don't detect radar very well?
