It seems like the SD and SJ radar's are linked!

If you move the radar beam of the SJ over a contact(s), and then glance to your left, you will see that the contact(s) also show up on your SD, giving you a rough range to target. (I have a couple of images, but I dont know how to upload them, but I could mail them to anyone interrested.)

Could somebody mod the radar screens so we can get:

- accurate (readable) range to target,
- accurate (readable) bearing to target.

(I really, really miss the silent hunter I radars)

This could, make the radar the powerfull instrument it was!
Because you could accuratly plot targets many miles away, giving you oodles of time to get into a good attack possition. (Saves fuel too.)

I think this is on no way a cheat, or an exploit.
Beeing an ex sailor, and having worked with old, 1940's radars, I know accurate plotting was and is definetly possible! (I know 'cause I've done it myself).

In RL you'd need a plot table, of course, but you can also do it on the ingame map.
