Exactly. A case in point is the SJ-1 radar. It's maximum detetction range was 12nm, while it could detect a submarine at only half that distance. Most of the WWII radars listed in the Radar Operator's Manual (
http://www.hnsa.org/doc/radar) also give ranges to surfaced submarines, so that might be the best way to go WRT to radar ranges (for AI units) especially since we don't have any playable surface ships. It's not like the data is lacking. It's just a matter of properly applying it.
