Sonar and radar usage

Fader_Berg · 07-09-09, 02:58 AM

Is it safe to use radar to spot ships, or will it just be a call for trouble? I've just merely survived an air raid in the atlantic. (Some new yellow planes, [yes, I'm new to this] which are terrifying compared to the ones around the british islands). I realy don't want to call their attention. But the atlantic is big and a sight of <=~7000 meters, practically means nothing.

I guess sonar shouldn't be used against destroyers. But how good is the precision of it, (by length to target)? Is it closer to truth than the WO? Is it only usefull in bad weather, and so on? How many pings? Does the target notice it?

How are you all using these things?
