It is a vain attempt to not make it into a super-radar... - You should still have a rotating SJ antenna (actually, the "Improved" SJ) - if it applied correctly. If it did not, you might have ST functionality that shows on the PPI, no rotating SJ antenna showing, but you do have the functioning radar... Available only on the Gato, Balao & Tench. However, it needed the conning tower upgrades to "attach" the new Observation Periscope to, but was very iffy on all but the Tench... The entire shmear is changed for the next release, and seems to function better - but still needs the conning tower upgrades... I very much detest the way SH4 does conning towers / turms... sigh
well, the SJ-1 surface radar sucks.
it has worse performance that its precessessor.
so, i took advantage of the availability of the SV Surface Radar and we will see what that does in comparison to the older models.
previously, the SV radar caused the periscope to rotate but i heard a rumor that the modders fixed that.

we shall see.
