Technology timeline

I am currently in November 1942 in a "dead is dead" SH4 campaign using manual targeting for the first time. Although I am not satisfied with my targeting, I have managed to somehow sink 95,000 tons. I am currently "stuck" in a Tambor without a deck crew. I'm hoping a new sub down the road will revive my gun crew. If not, I'm going to have to go see the admiral. (I have read links regarding that issue but the gun was moved during a refit without my permission. Rats!)

What concerns me is the technological advances that may soon arise on both sides, and my ignorance of when they will become available. Although I have encountered a few IJN destroyers, I have been able to elude them so far. Playing "dead is dead" really raises the tension as those depth charges explode!

Future radar and sonar capabilities of the warships, merchants and aircraft would be nice to know. I have searched for this and have read discussions but have never seen a concise outline/summary.

Is a link, source, or brief summary of a "technology timeline" available for SH4?
