No, radar has not been changed (although a make over is intended). The frequency of planes has been brought on by the different warships containing Scout Planes (Pete's or Jake's floatplanes),
AND the already heightened abilities of the planes to have super human visual capabilities (a leftover from FOTRS). We've modified these capabilities in our next version release, which should tone down their behavior. But, you should know, surfaced daylight travel was seldom used when in the enemy controlled environment most American subs were assigned to. You can't expect to patrol surfaced during the day in these parts of the Pacific.
Will it take time to get from point A to B...….Why, Yes it will!! But that's what it took......This isn't a quick "hop" across the "Channel" from one side to another!

Some other opinions:
- I don't like the new classes in the recognition manual, specifically in the IJN section. It's become a mess. It starts alright, but then passes to a mess of heavy and light cruisers, subs, and auxiliary cruisers. I realize that's because the new classes have been coded for plane spawning, but I don't feel the result is worth this. Is there a reason the plane spawning couldn't be done within the existing classes? Or is it impossible ?

It's Impossible.
The plane spawning occurs due to the warships "ClassType". This ClassType is what the hard coded files use to makeup the Recognition Manual. Each "Nationality" starts with (if there is one) the Super Elite Battleships, then the Battleships, then the Carriers and so on......These ClassTypes have a numbering sequence attached to them which is what is used to put the ships in-order within the RM, regardless of what name you call them. A Japanese Submarine that has the ability to fly a Scout Plane will be lumped into the same category as a Carrier, or a Sea Plane Tender. The developers didn't give us the "tools" to rearrange the RM or even provide some other way to categorize the entries. We're pretty much stuck with how they planed things...….one they didn't count on was for us to have Scout Planes on warships!
