Start your career on one of these boats in 1945 "Beginning of 1945".
How many radar slots do you have in your equipment?

I have ONE, for "SV Elite Radar" or "Improved SD Radar". ST is simply not there (no second slot).

mazzi,

the US boats have two types of radar available: surface and air.
each is independent of the other.
in this in-port screen shot, you can see an example of both radar sets.


in this example, the ST set is installed as the Surface Radar and
Improved SD is the Air Search radar.

if you click on the graphic for either set, the left hand panel will display all of the available sets for that boat at that time period.

in the example above, Improved SD is the installed Air Search set but SV Air Search Radar is available for upgrade.



in this second example (just above), i've clicked on the Surface Search radar and you can see that there is another Surface Search Radar available for installation, SJ-1 Improved Radar.

what PB and i have discovered is that there appears to be an unexpected result if one upgrades to a Tench in 1945 from a Sargo boat, the new Tench should come with the ST Surface Search Radar as standard equipment, but it didn't. My attempt to install it while in port did not make it an effective radar, which means that it doesn't work when i leave on patrol.

does this help you understand the unique situation we have encountered?
