SV radar was indeed an improved air search radar which came into use around June 1945. You can see what the radar antenna looks like in SH4. It was hooked up to the SJ's PPI and A-scopes, thus making it far more advanced than the SD. Of course, for SH4 that doesn't make for any advantage, since the radar man will (incorrectly) give you a bearing each time an SD contact is made.
ST radar also gave bearing information and was hooked up to the SJ display as well (A-scope only).
