New to radar (PPI and A-Scope)

Leaving Midway I wanted to see if all the ships around were showing and tested my newly acquired skill.
They were and everything seemed to be working so I set sail for Truk by way of Wake Island and turned on radar.

When I got to Wake I didn't get any contact report what so ever (didn't check for myself either tho) just my luck

so I continued to Truk.

1024-ed to Truk and when 40Nm from patrol area I set normal time, cautiously crept in closer on the surface but again no radar contacts...

Maybe I set radar at its lowest range so checked that and made a manual sweep while I was on station... It revealed 6 stationary vessels

.
I kept on sneaking in and and was hoping to get some report from radar stations. I got within 10Nm on a very clear day when the watch crew shouted "Ship spotted, sir"

.

Is something wrong or doesn't the game 'see' stationary vessel like watch crews sometimes don't seen vessels at long range when you can?

My MOD soup installed in this order:

TMO 2.5
TMO 2.5 Small Patch
IJN Rad_Fix for TMO2_Betaupdate
OTC for TMO 2.5
OTC 8to5 Aspect ratio_TMO
TMO Smoke Mod
ISE Stock Env_v2
ISE New clouds+waves
ISE Realistic Coulors
TDW_ DC_Water_Disturbance v2_0_SH4
