Ah, well I've found several escorts have radar kind of early.

Noticed Wakatakes having it since early 44.

Interesting thing about the Yugumo having radar that early, was not aware of that.If you decided to make it where none of the escorts get radar until Oct 44 like before, that would be fine though, sucks not being able to do surface attacks in 44, that was kind of the year of surface attacks being employed to the max you know? I did notice their radar range was down to about 5 miles, good job on that.

Up to you but I think a good compromise on IJN radar would be to have a range of 5,000 yards.If player has Mark 14's can shoot from outside their range on surface, thus taking care of that issue and IJN can still have radar.Does not make things easy because with the less eagle eyed crew, firing from long distances is as difficult as it was(almost) Seems everyone agrees IJN shipboard radar was not that good anyway because many subs performed night surface attacks on heavily escorted, radar equipped convoys...Tang and Barb come to mind, others also.Just an idea.

I read Akikaze was real, was a DD of the Minekaze class....
