haven't seen a specific topic on the subject so I thought I'd bring it up as a possibility although I'm sure it's been discussed before.... I have no idea how hard/easy it would be to accomplish but I'd like a night fighter with operable radar. They sure would come in handy after the base has been porked and the radar is down. By necessity, it'd have to have a very limited range (say 6 miles or less) and only be forward looking (if that's a possibility). I don't know how you'd limit the look/up down capability of the scan not knowing how it was done on the old WWII radar sets. Id accept 360 spherical radar coverage if that were easier but it's just a tad unrealistic. A platform to carry the airborne radar? That's easy, existing airframes could be the Ju88, the A-20 (P-70), Mosquito and for new aircraft...the P-61 Black Widow, not to mention the Beaufighter. It could be an option in the hangar attached to a weapons loadout.
