Hi to all,

is it possible put moving radar antennas on destroyers?

Easy.
Just one question:
Do you know what's every DD's radar's moving speed?

In SH3 there are more or less 18 different radar equipments. Here there are a lot of informations on several radar types used during WW2 on US warships: http://hnsa.org/doc/radar/index.htm

Radar rotation was manually tuned by the operator using a knob on the radar instrument panel. So we can just decide a general rotation speed...

I found the Type 268 was rotating at 22rpm, so almost 1 complete turn in 3 seconds.

Adding the WatchMan controller to each Radar you want to rotate
will make them turn back and forth.
Not 360 degrees continuely.
For total 360 degree continuous you'll need to
do a keyframe animation for each.

S3D will allow you to do both.
