The Two Most Important Fixes We Need...

#1) The radar. Does anyone have a mod that truly fixes it? Please tell me if they do. The only fix I've seen makes it so SD radars reveals all surface contacts, when it should only alert you to air contact range w/o direction. My understanding is that, in early war patrols, we essentially have a choice of going out blind (no radar) or with what is effectively SJ radar way too early in the war.

#2) Rangefinder on the TDC. Aiming at the top of the mast gives VERY unpredictable results because all the measurements are screwed up and are only calculated in meters. Even with a measurement tweak for Jap ships, the fact that there is no meter-to-yard conversion means the ranges will still be wrong. Since this game should be played in imperial units, that's screwed up.
