Radar Warning - Page 2

I find the radar warner an absolute must have. Always get the newest one, and heed it´s warnings!!
The Spring and Summer of -42, when the allies start using Radar and before you can get the warner is close to the most frustrating time of the War. Enemy ships and planes comes at you "out of nowhere" in any weather, day or night.
The Radar I use sparingly... but on the other hand, not all enemy planes have radar. If you do not use your radar, you will not have any early warning against them.

You could do a lot worse than take note of #5 by Wreford-Brown

The whatever it's name "cross" radar warning receiver is very handy in that it buys you precious seconds of time to get below the surface before the allied air arrive to drop death from the sky.

Agreed on radar-warning being usefull, keep up with th upgrades.

FumO 29 however - kind of junk. And makes the front of your conning tower look like it's wearing a diaper.
