Just one question, which one would you guys consider most historically correct?...I am a bit confused with all the versions here...

Cheers!

Thanks! I hope they're usefull in their basic form. Coming from a veteran modder like yourself I feel good about adding something to the community that can be appreciated.

Regarding which one is historically accurate .... I'm at a loss to say Captain. From the operators handbook on the SJ that LukeFF posted ...
http://www.hnsa.org/doc/radar/part4.htm#pgSJ-2

it appears the display had three adjustments :

1. Scale light: azimuth circle.
2. Range circle: adjusts intensity of the range dot.
3. Intensity: adjusts brilliance of the scope

So IMO, the basic plain PPI would be the closest :

#1 MR_PPI_BK_4 : Basic default marks.


However, the color, the number of range circles, and the overall historical grid pattern is yet to be determined. The other 3 grid patterns I made are just a combination of what a historical grid pattern might look like, although perhaps late war or on a totally different radar type. Thanking LukeFF for his SC variant (soon to be an addition).

Radial Mark Variant note:
Due to the lack of a cooperative radar operator, ie ... he can only tell us if new contacts appear and can give us range to closest target (are there more dormant commands that I'm missing?) the radial marks make up for that and can provide a skipper a quick look at the target's relative bearing as he cons his boat to an attack position beyond visual range.

I'm really hoping it brings the radar back into play. I remember comments a long time ago how the radar's quite useless.
