Radar scope

gg5056 · 07-15-07, 12:17 PM

The scope in 1.3 has range of 8,000/20,000/60,000.
Is this meter or yards?

any help would nice.

Meter. The letter M before x 100 in this pic. Sorry about that if you were hopeing imperial as I was.

how soon into the game are radars used. I started my carrer in 1941...but have the gear in place, unoperatinal

I am in 1943 Gato class. has SD & SJ radar.

its yards. The grafic shows M for meter because they forgot to change it. Its still yards when you use imperial system.

1 yard = 9,144 m
1 naut. mile = 1644 yards

froschman · 07-18-07, 08:12 AM

Opps, you did make an error of factor 10!

1 yard = 0.9144 m

Therefore the difference between yards and meters are not so important, the difference is not great.

Also, 1 nautic mile = 2025.372 yards (ref Wikipedia).

something for the modders to fix

chopped50ford · 07-18-07, 07:28 PM

at what year can you start using the radar? I have the units, but they are unoperational

Capt. Shark Bait · 07-18-07, 07:32 PM

Just hit late 42' in the USS Drum...got both Radars working.

I'm guessing the distances are in yards.

The "m" is for "magnification", I think.
