panthercules,
You are right that in 1942 most of your issues will be radar related.
I was testing elco visual detection in late 1940 and was getting detected at distances that were excessive and was at a lose to explain why, until to my surprise I discover that the Elco gets a radar set in June of 1940!
[Sensor 5]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=TypeSC
StartDate=19400601
EndDate=19430601
It is most likley that NYGM will have a look at the radar after the release of TW 2. It is hoped that we may be able to reduce its 'instant' detection ability without knee capping it and have heavy sea states play a bigger part in reducing its excessive abilities.
If I remember correctly, it was not until some time in 1944 did the allies finally attain a set that was not adversly affected by rain etc. After all, it was with the HuffDuff that the allies were able to ‘see’ the u-boats on or over the horizon, not radar. It was something that the allies allowed the world to believe for many decades.
When the AI in in a normal alert state the persicope detection is not as high as we would have liked, but it is not invisible. This is a direct result of making the night time vision less effective. Yes it is hard to see how they could be related but they are.
That said, they are not totally blind to the periscope and when the AI are in a high alert state, well, I suggest not using it.
Moon phases, never going to happen in SHIII.
