Radar dates?

[LGN1]

Hi,

I found this very interesting post from Stiebler:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...30&postcount=5

Now I'm wondering what determines the date of introduction for the radar. The date for the radar warning receiver is defined in basic.cfg, I guess. But where are the dates for the radar? Are these dates taken from the ships' *.sns files?

Cheers, LGN1

Strange question...
Yes, for AI ships in *.sns, i think.

Hi Anvart,

thanks for the reply. Why do you think the question is strange

If the date is from the *.sns file I'm wondering from which *.sns file. From the one that has the earliest date for the radar type or from the *.sns file of the ship that has the contact

Basic.cfg - only for equipments of human subs. Yeah?

If the date of the radar does not match the current time, the radar will not be on the AI ship. Yeah?
The program successively checks the search capabilities of each submarine's radar... one for one scan (frequency of scanning?).
If the AI ship does not comply with the conditions of submarine detection by radar... contact will not be... Yeah?

Hi Anvart,

I'm sorry I don't fully understand your post.

I'm a bit puzzled by some tests I did. I changed the Metox date in the basic.cfg section to 1939:

[EQUIP5]; Radar Warning Receiver
DaysSpent=1
Nb=8
NameIdx0=1280
Year0=1939
Month0=8
NbSub0=4
Sub00=0
Sub01=1
Sub02=2
Sub03=3
Renown0=100
Name0=FuMB1Metox

Now I would expect that the Metox device hardly detects any radar because they are introduced after 1939. However, from my observation it still detects late-war radar It seems that this date is not crucial. But what else determines which radar a radar-warning device can detect Maybe it's the time of mounting

I see I don't fully understand you.

... and what? possibly (in this case) the probability of detection of radars is lower...
... or you want to tell, FuMB1Metox 1939 year of release can't detect radars of more later years of release?

I didn't test this part therefore isn't confident in it...

You speak about it (bold font)...
in original game:
...
[SUBMARINE_AMMO1];IID
...
Year4=1943
...
RadarWarningReceiver_40=1280
...
[SUBMARINE_AMMO3]; VIIC
...
Year4=1943
...
RadarWarningReceiver_40=1280
...
...
[EQUIP5]; Radar Warning Receiver
...
NameIdx0=1280
Year0=1942
Month0=8
...
Name0=FuMB1Metox
...
May be...

P.S.
I think... for "clear" experiment it is necessary to create the new "empty" campaign and special single mission... single mission exists in the campaign's environment.
... and it would be not bad to hear Stiebler's opinion...
