That said, one thing about letting about letting them pick up your radar signal is that if you are far enough away when you can tell they are coming after you, turning off the radar and making a quick dodge in an other direction will cause them to miss you. They tend to hunt around where you were when they started the chase, so it has the effect of drawing off one or more of the escorts leaving you free to drive back to the main group. Makes the game much more interesting!  |
Is it that they're picking up your radar signal or are using radar of their own? In FotRSU, I command Balaos, so radar on escorts arrives early in my career; after that is when they start noticing me.
Anyone know the relative ranges of Japanese radar and possible Metox at DD mast height?
