How to identify ship using radar?

p.jakub88 · 08-24-17, 02:59 AM

Hello everyone,

I have a SJ-1 type radar installed on my Balao class submarine and according to description it could identify ship as friend or foe.

However i don't know how to use this feature.

Does the green line on Navigation map pointed towards ship means that this is a friendly one?

Thank You in advance for reply.

Hmmmm. What description are you referring to. The real radar showed a white blip. No friend or foe.

Hello Rockin Robbins,

according to the "Office links, Info Boxes and 50 cal V2.1" mod the SJ-1 radar is able to identify ship as friend or foe. However i have no clue how to check that in SH4. I heard, that in the stock 1.5 SH4 version there is no description for radar at all. I never played unmodded SH4.

You might check here: http://archive.hnsa.org/doc/radar/index.htm for information.

I found this reference in a quick search:

Quote:

If provisions are not available for operation of IFF with SJ-a or SJ-1 radar, all questionable targets should be challenged by means of the SD radar's IFF system.

To my knowledge, there is no such capability in SH4, modded or not. (Unless radar contacts in the unmodded game show up in blue/red colors. But I believe they are shown as grey until they reach visual range.)

Hello razark,

Thank You for the reply and link provided - i read the part of the manual about IFF radar feature. As far as i know it does not work that way in SH4. The player still need to identify the ship visually.
