TMO2, enemy surface radar ?

With a Gato in calm waters, at 28ft the engines will engage, although they lack full speed, basically running decks awash, con tower fully exposed. Doe's this have any effect on enemy surface radar, range, ect?

What about angle?

I don't think it doe's. I was doing this with one TF, one to charge batteries and two more speed to get in position. The DD's finally came at my position at roughly 7nm.s away. It was night and fog, so they couldn't see me. Also, it was Oct. 42, I assume the capital ships have radar then as nothing else would explain it. Course I often wonder why DD's come at you fast from 7nm plus away when it seems impossible they could..no complaints, just wish I knew what was the cause to better deal with it.

Another question, surface radar use. Can they home in on your use of it? In reality I don't believe they had directional capacity with surface radar, but what about your radar. Obvious in game they come right to you. When I have radar on and they're coming at me fast, I can cut it off and run away, later cut it back on and they're often going back to the TF. I"ve never got the full answer to this.

I never do status reports, but what is the range that they can pick them up. I assume a TF must be in your contact zone for them to do so?

Game wise, not real life answers please, unless comparing.
