I've tried a few earlier boats and they can be fun for sure, but generally, I prefer the newer boats. A patrol or three is OK without radar, but I tend to get a little impatient without it. On the other hand, if you are fortunate enough to get sent into shipping lanes for your patrols, it's more rewarding to catch the quarry the old fashioned way, otherwise, it's sleepy time. So...I like to start with the Gato just early enough to get in at least a couple of patrols without radar and then upgrade.
