2. Radar off, heading into a port, or or home - nothing showing on blank screens and I keep getting radar hits??

In Silent Hunter the inexplicable things abound. It's a game designed to make life miserable for the player, regardless of realism or historical facts. The ships did not start the war with installed sonars, perhaps a few and then they were equipped over time, but in SH even the poorest fishing boat has it. Ridiculous situations like what happened to me, which I explain in another post: "The unsinkable merchant", serve as a sample engine for this topic.
