Yes most Coastal Command planes were fitted with radar. The radar detectors that were given to u-boats were generally speaking useless as they could only pick up radar emissions in the meter wavelength. The Allies had perfected radar in the centemetric (not sure of spelling) wavelength which the u-boat radar detectors could not pick up. The Germans refused to believe that the Allies had perfected radar to this degree until later in the war. Not sure if this is modelled in the game though.
