Default just curious...

hello y'all, I have a question to ask... in a book I have been reading - not strictly about subs, but touching here and there, it says that in 1942 the Brits came up with L-Band radar which pinpointed the whereabouts of any U-boats that were up on the surface charging their batteries, so that they could then scramble the planes to take them unawares and sink them. The Germans countered by developing an L-band receiver so that they could be forewarned and dive before the planes got there. Then the Brits switched to the S-band radar, which German intelligence did not pick up on, and consequently the U-boat fleet suffered a significant loss from plane attacks. Life got harder for Das Boot. My question is - will that be reflected in SH3? I am in 1939 now, and previous to the new GWX upgrade I was coming up to a significant event to do with Norway ( my ex-father-in-law was on the Cossack when the Altmark was boarded and the prisoners released btw) and I think that was a bit before 1942, so I haven't yet experienced any really tough times. just wondered really....
