Educated guessing galore:
I believe USN doctrine specifically states that an E-2 should
not do that. Simply because that would pretty much be to tell the enemy "we're here" well beyond the radar horizon of the ship itself.
On the other hand, the mission editor tends to place the E-2 well below standard operating altitude, giving it a rather close radar horizon. Placing it higher and further away might still give it better radar coverage to the opposite side than it would have low and close.
Perhaps you won't need to have it move its station.
