Play nice, Gentlemen.
It has been interesting though.
Certainly with TM i have been having some hairy aircraft encounters. Both my recent careers I lost to aircraft. The first one was through greed (I got a radar contact as i was racing to get a firing position on a big target and figured one more minute, one more minute...boom!) I was finished off later because I had no radar left and couldn't dive. it was a bit sad really, i'd just been upgraded to Salmon class form my S-boat which i had attained great success with using only a whiz wheel for all my attacks.
Second career as i wrote before.
Both of these sinkings were in 1942, so I have a historical/technical question. How early did Japanese planes develop night search and attack capability? What were the details of the evolution of their radar capability?
Was Japanese radar better/worse/about the same as Allied/German radar?
Did Japanese planes also have radar warning receivers?
In the game i don't seem able to turn off my SD radar. Is this not radiating a clear beacon to all RWR equipped planes of my presence?
Would it not, at night, have been better to turn off SD radar and just use RWR as a defense?
And how did the USS Catfish get sunk?
Thanks
Joe
