If you're in a Narwhal Class, you are in trouble with a Tony. Good, fast airplanes - but not much armor.



We really should try to make an appropriate ammo for a 20mm cannon, something stronger than the a plain bullet, yet not as strong as a 40mm explosion... - We also need a 30mm cannon for the PT boats... lol

As for the APR, not too many planes have radar, and only certain locations have those, such as Rabaul and the larger bases. That would be the long-range planes, like some of the Betty planes, or the H6K Mavis or H8K Emily, and a few others. Seems to me that the Judy might get it later, as well as a few other single-engined planes, but usually the multi-crewed planes. The Tony never gets it (if I remember correctly...)
yeah, that's all very interesting, but we never detect surface radar. i mean never. and we are into April 1945. someone in the IJN had to have a radar set at sea. (lol)

now, having had my fun, i believe we are being detected via radar but the APR is not giving us any warning.
i've posted previously that DD-escorts have detected me before i detect them, in clear weather and fair seas, and that is not proper.
I'm referring to DD's, not Frigates and not DE's and not the scows with guns, DD's.
so there is detection afoot on their side but not by the APR. Hey...wait....what if....is it possible....that Ubi designed the APR?
