Air Search Radar | Forums

Having a problem - running SH4(1.04)/TMO/RSRDC. I am driving a boat that has the Air Search Radar (has no other radar). I have checked the option for "No Contacts on Map".

I will get a report that Radar has picked up a target and give me the bearing. After that I get no updates of bearing. If I go to PD and raise the Antenna I get no furter updates. I understand the plot not showing on the map but is there no way to get radar updates once the target is spotted - like the sonar updates?

As it is I have no idea if the Plane is still in the area or if it is on a constant bearing, changing or approching or moving away. Am I missing something?

I am fairly certain that if you have map updates off, that is how it should be. You will not see it until it is within visual. By that time you will be toas since he will see you first. I leave that stuff on for that very reason. At PS depth you will not see them until they are bombing you. This is what our skippers had to deal with real world. The game is bugged though so you cant verify range and all until you have both radars. Then you can use the A scope to get range.
