When do the Allies get surface radar?

In early April '41 I've received a convoy report near Rockall Bank.The weather was very bad 15m/s wind and heavy rain,so I tried to shadow the convoy and wait for better conditions,when my watch crew spotted a corvette heading straight for us.Ordered crash dive,and they started depth charging me,but no hit.I got back to periscope depth and when the corvette gone out of sight surfaced.I thought we can escape easier because of the bad weather and it was night.But soon once again ship spotted,crash dive,depth charging,but no surfacing this time.When they lost contact I stayed submerged for a another 1 or 2 hours.After surfacing tried to get further away from the convoy and follow their course from a safer distance.A few hours later,once again ship spotted...

That little bugger was already equipped with radar and they easily find me in the heavy rain and fog.

If in real life was march '41 when the first escorts was equipped witch radar,I'm pretty sure GWX modeled it in the game,and I can confirm that.

@K-61 your sailing in dangerous waters.Get a radar detector as soon as it is available.
