REF_small in ship's eqp file. Is this radar?

[Wulfmann]

:rotfl: Thanks for not making a deserved comment!!!:rotfl:

Well then. How is radar determined per ship and when?

[ref]

They are in the R0x entries in the cfg

I believe its in the SNS file - the sensors

Dont ask me which one is radar though as they are just numbers

Ah see Ref knew

[Wulfmann]

Thanks, I know where the radar is regarding its use.

What I seek is a way to determine what has radar and when.

There must be an off on switch for each ship.
If not then all warships are radar equipped from day one?

The SNS file does that

HuntIII

[Sensor 8]
NodeName=R01 <----------As Ref said above
LinkName=Type290
StartDate=19410901 <------------- Radar starts
EndDate=19430601 <----------- And ends for Type290

[Sensor 9]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=Type271
StartDate=19430601
EndDate=19451231

[Wulfmann]

Thanks, again for not taking the shot I deserved. The next question should be how dumb am I.

There may be no end to that one!:rotfl:

So, I will now run a check of all the radar in all the units. I am curious how well my reference books and SH3 devs compare.

To remove a radar (or any other equipment/sensor) replace the linkname value with NULL

[Sensor 8]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19410901
EndDate=19430601

[Sensor 9]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=Type271
StartDate=19430601
EndDate=19451231

BTW, using the .sns files for each unit, if the [Sensor X] is renamed properly you can add / subtract sensors (visual, radar, RWR, searchlights, hydrophones, sonar) nullify them etc. Very easy to do.

Same thing applies for the .eqp files for weapon nodes.

After looking thru the files I was amazed at how close the Devs were in getting the when right on this.
Makes me wonder how they were so far off on other easy aspects.
I only changed the Frigates from late 1940 to early 41 and the Elcos I moved back into 1942. Other than that (and pushing back the Italian DDs into 1942) they are all within reason, IMO.
