I just checked on this. The Akikaze, technically didn't exist (i pulled him from the movie RSRD), and i didn't put radar on him anyway. The Shiratsuyu doesnt recieve radar tell late 44.
The Yugumo, on the other hand, is a horse of another color. According to combinedfleet.com, the Yugumo recieved a type 22 radar in
July 1942. In the SNS file, he's recieving it couple months early. Havent made up my mind what to do about that yet. I'll either correct the date, or move it to 44. But, a Yugumo having a rader in 42 is, historically correct.
