No radar.

You will get detected by using radar far more than you ever detect other ships.

But in a storm, where you can't see more than 30 m. And have radar detector.
Inside a convoy, its really, REALLY usefull. You can dodge the DD's while you hunt the ships.
And more usefull when you got some of the Escorts & DD's destroyed

TBH I sometimes find the radar detector to be of much more benefit.

It truly is, I recommend everyone to get that than anything else.

I tend to agree that the FuMo-29 is the best stormy weather radar, but I am learning that with the FuMo-30, as soon as I hear "Detecting Radar signals" its time to head below water.

Thanks guys.

Any radar is perhaps imo only practical in heavy fog/rain. It gives your position away.
29 makes your boat look stupid, like it's wearing a daiper.

Many great warmachines and technology's devices tend to look stupid. I myself don't give a damn about the looks of them, and probaly most of us don't too (Womens are execption).
