Bad weather in GWX does affect detection probability by enemy radar, but not drastically. For the allied sailor in WWII, a primary attraction of radar was to have a set of eyes that could see through the storm and/or darkness. That being said, surface radar was rather short ranged in real life. On a clear day, you could usually see farther than its actual effective detection range, even late in the war as technology progressed. Conversely, within that limited range it can be far more dependable than the Mark-1 eyeballs of the lookouts... narrowing the search pattern of watch crewmen.

Sounds to me as if you had a bit of luck with you and managed to thread the needle. Good show!
