Radar

Does anyone have any pictures of the radar screen they will be using in sh4? Does anyone know which types of radar they included? SJ and SD im sure of but what about sv? How good were the japanese radar detectors and what year did the come out? Was it common practice on US subs to use the radar as a rangefinder during during an attack run?

I haven't seen any pictures of radar screens but I would assume (which gets me into trouble) that early radar will use an A-Scope and by mid-war they will have PPI scopes.

The most common radars for fleet subs were SD (aircraft warning which gave no bearing) SG and SJ. Not sure SV was available...

Yes--Radar was commonly used to confirm ranges during an attack, especially under poor visibility conditions.

That's what I'd expect too

Did I see that correctly: The radar is turning counter- clockwise?
