Question radar detection TMO

Can't remember, but anyone know the correct distance that JP radar can pick up your sub with TMO1.9.

Chased the large JP TF headed to the battle of Philippines Sea for two days. I sunk one Yamato and had the other one DITW, but out of torps.
I sat beside it why JP planes would drop bombs on me, but hit it instead..yea, I wanted it....course when it started smoking, I had to hall tail and can't be beside it when it blows.

I sat there a few days hoping some US planes would show up, but instead came the JP TF back. It was over 12NM away and I was decks awash and picked up radar detection. Before I know it several DD"s are headed my way fast. I try to haul tail to hide under the Y dead in the water, but they drove me down. I've never had DD's hunt me this bad. I went to 700ft, running silent and they never relented and finally got sunk....I wasn't using the cam, but still....

Anyway, had a save point and gonna give it another go round, just not sure why all those DD's came from that far away with me decks awash, unless the Y sitting there made them react.
