US Navy subs:

- sonars: WCA, JP-1 -> Has JT-1 model been removed?
U-boats:
- radars: FuMO-29, FuMO-30, FuMO-61, FuMO-65 -> Is snorkel mounted FuMO-391 also present in RFB mod?
- radar warning receivers: FUMB-1, FuMB-7, FUMB-10, FUMB-36
- passive sonars: GHG, KDB, Balkongerat

Going off my memory here, since I'm not at my home computer (thank you, National Guard
)
-SD: December 1941, though the renown value is very high, since it was not very common
-SD-a: June 1942 (for fleet subs); June 1943 (for the S-42; S-18s do not have access to SD-a (or SD, for that matter)
-SJ: July 1942 (for fleet boats); November 1942 (for the S-18); June 1943 (for the S-42)
-SJ-1: August 1943 (fleet boats); October 1943 (S-18 and S-42)
-SV: July 1945
-ST is in the game files but does not work
-WCA is fitted to all boats from the beginning of the war
-JP-1: July 1943
-JT is not modeled
In general, the U-boat radar sets and radar detectors follow their real historical timeline (don't recall any of the dates right now). Snorkel-mounted radar isn't modeled.
GHG is available from the war's beginning. KDB is available some time afterwards but is discontinued some time in 1942, IIRC (it was ordered to be removed by the Kriegsmarine, because it gave unsatisfactory performance as compared to GHG). Balkongerät is modeled from 1944, as I recall.
