Is it just me, or is everyone else detecting Aircraft in the SJ radar???

RFB 2 patch 18 Feb + RSRD 575 in November 1942

You're supposed to if they are low enough. My SD radar has been picking up aircraft and the ones skimming the waves have shown up on SJ as well.

Humm these ones were a couple hundreths of metres high

, I watched them in external view. At first when I got the contact I thought it was a ship, then saw how quickly it moved and that could be nothing except an airplane. Or an UFO

The width is not all that narrow of the beam and it does follow the ship as it rocks back and forth. I think tracking planes up in the region of 2000' at range is not wrong. You'd have to compare the radar pattern height in the sensors vs. some real world data.

Fred you have a point there, but I was not questioning if it is real or not. If the RFB guys put it there intentionally, I can be sure it is realistic. What I actually wanted to know is just if it only happened to me, or if it happened to everyone and if it was intentional

Is anyone having any problems with deaf hydrophone operators? My sonar guy doesn't pick up and report ships until we're practically underneath them. When I take the trouble to report a ship myself the operator will then follow the contact, but only for a few minutes until he declares that he's lost it. This happens with the watch officer assisting in the Conning Tower.

I've played a fair few patrols with RFB now, but I've taken to manning the hydrophones every hour when underwater which really shouldn't be necessary. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm running RFB2 + the patch + the fog fix + RSRD + the patch

Fantastic mod by the way.

The historical documentation on SJ does give detection ranges on aircraft (5 miles at 500 feet altitude), and the patrol reports also have notes about the SJ picking up aircraft contacts, so yeah, it's definitely historically correct.
