There's a very lengthy post in the SH4 mods workshop on radar and trying to fix it. What is shows is just how much of a mess radar is at present.

Single biggest issue is that the sim treats ALL radar sensor data as coming from a single source, thus it doesn't differentiate between SD and SJ. This seems to be a direct consequence of basing the sim on SHIII, which we know had radar problems to start with.

In short, don't hold your breath for this to be fixed the way it should have been before release. REALLY annoying as radar was one major advantage US subs had in the pacific, given Japanese radar was both comparitively poor and very uncommon on escorts.
