Radar Warning

ddiplock · 05-27-08, 08:41 PM

Its October 1942, and I now have the option to install a Radar Warning antennae onto my boat. Should I do this? And does this antennae also provide enemy destroyers with a means of detecting your boat?

Everybody has a different opinion on this.

I find it more immersive to have a watch crew warn me,

I also play GWX 2.1 AT 100% realism.

I like it as real as it can get.

Nah its totally useless. I have put and upgraded several radar and radar warning. It doesnt help alot. However if you can get sonar and doing submerged cruise it would be better!
This is only an opinion also dont do what i think

Well, I haven't installed it yet, but if people's general opinion is that its a useless piece of kit, i probably wont bother installing it then.

The radar warning receiver is one of the most useful pieces of equipment - it's saved me a number of times (especially from aircraft) as it picks up enemy radar ages before they can detect me.

Radar, however, has never been useful - it's like an aircraft magnet!

well mate wreford seems to like it...but others dont...matter of opinion really!!!

i hated it as i was kicked out of tc constantly with it even though the ships i was picking up never knew i was there

remember to save game before installing it as i dont think you can un-install the radar....and are left with it.

dont bother is my say......for what thats worth

Agreed, it has saved my butt numerous times. On the other hand, I wouldn't bother with radar.

You could do a lot worse than take note of #5 by Wreford-Brown
