[Help] - Aircraft warning radar stops working

Might be a holdover from SHIII. IIRC, the higher TC you used the less you detection range/notification was. It had something to do with how often checks were performed. The higher the TC the less checks were made. Several times I got swooped by aircraft in high TC and didn't get an "aircraft spotted" until the bombs had already gone off. The clincher was at night - in a rainstorm - at 2kx, a british destroyer has taken my hull down to 25% damaged most everything on board...Then I get the message "ship spotted" and TC drops to 1x. Thanks a lot watch crew, no really I mean it.

This is why I don't go above 1024x during the day or 256x at night. The only times I go to a really high TC is when I am not expecting trouble. The lessons I learned with SHIII, keep me in good stead with SHIV.
