Wow, very informative. SD radar is handled so poorly in game as to be laughable. I'm not sure we'll ever have proper interface or range-only functionality, but I hope we can at least achieve the right performance stats:

Maximum reliable range.
Target Range in Mile
Land 3,000 feet or higher 35
Land 1,000 feet 20
Large planes above 1,000 feet 12-20
Small planes above 1,000 feet 8-15
Low planes Not detected
Especially important to note is that planes below a 1,000 feet are not detected. What height do planes fly at by default in the game?

Not sure if this is within the realm of modding, but SD radar (at least early version) is not in the right location on the sub and should be on an extendable antenna, as described in the above resources and seen in this 1942 pic of the Porpoise:
