Well... April 1945, but which boat are you in. Also, what "targeting" are you using? It is really kind of irritating, but you CANNOT do any TMO-style targeting, nor FotRSU either, if you want to do proper APR tracking. You NEED TO USE Moonlight's Sonar Lines, so that you get the Blue for warship, Black for merchant and other, and GREEN (almost black) for the Radar detected. You should also see something to the effect of "Radar signals detected, bearing xxx (whatever)" in the text box, very similar to a sonar detection, and you should then see a dark Green line on the NavMap. It does NOT stay around like the sonar (hydrophone) line usually, because the radar tends to rotate its "focus", and it will fade faster, like a radar contact. One of the MAJOR problems with the game is the AI Sensors. You can only use ONE AT A TIME (sorry for all of the "shouting"). ie: If you have a radar contact showing on your screen, you will lose a sonar contact. If you then "see" the contact, you lose the radar contact... so, if you have your radar on, and have a radar contact, you do lose the APR contact. For ships - if I am remembering this correctly, you might get an APR contact first (green line), then the sonar (black line), then the radar (box on NavMap - IF you have contacts on), then the visual. In each case, as you "step through" the sensors, you lose the previous. Kind of like trying to do an end-around on the edge of visibility, and losing the visual, but getting a sonar or radar contact shortly after. But the game plays it like the Japanese have the best huff-duff (HF/DF) and best radar detection on the planet, even in their smaller planes, and can "home-in" on your boat with relative ease. We've been trying to turn that down ever since beta release 0.1 back in 2016... sigh
