That's a DF loop. It's not used in the game by default and DF is generally simulated by the random map contacts you get.
It's raised animated in both SHIII and SHIV mods though. I suppose it might eventually make it to SHV as well. It doesn't do anything other than spin in the game - I don't think there is any mechanism in the game to make actual DF functional as it would've been in reality. [edit] Nope, not radar. Just a direction finder to catch the exact bearing from which radio signals are coming from (from ships at sea for example). |

If you stand in front of it, it also works like a heater.
Edit: if it were radar that is. DF loop though does nothing cool. Www.uboat.net/articles/id/51 Last edited by Scoochy; 03-18-10 at 05:54 PM. |
