Did several of these tutes on the range circles, the pics keep disappearing so;

Numbers at bottom right are the max range and average range, all circles are average, so you COULD possibly be detected outside the circle. Inside the circle you're asking for it.

Radar applies to late war for the IJN, active and passive sonar applies only to escorts, the visual circle is any ship or boat including merchants, as long as they have lookouts.

So when do they not have lookouts? Knocked off two cruisers, damaged two carriers, and sank what I thought was all the escorts leaving two damaged carriers and two troop transports. Battle surface, finish all these off with the 4 inch 50.

While firing at the slowly moving Hiryu, suddenly a destroyer appeared behind it - apparently I lost count. First lucky shot from the deck gun blew up his bridge.

Note the active and passive sonar circles are there, but no visual circle - no bridge, no lookouts, he can't see me. Sunk him after taking the pics, he never fired a single shot at me.
