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

Wulfmann · 11-28-06, 10:10 AM

[Equipment 21]
NodeName=L01
LinkName=REF_small
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

Here is one example. I ask because every ship has this from the beginning or before the war starts even trawlers. Radar did not show up in even moderate quantity until early 1941 and in 1940 except for a few big ships did not exist.

If this is, in fact, radar, we need to edit this to reflect when each of these ships generally would have had it.
If its not, what is it?
Bismarck has four large ones so I am betting it is not sonar:rotfl:

Any explanation would be helpful.

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

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

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
