It seems with all the accurate skins, as close to accurate flight modeling, and all the accurate terrains and textures and all the money and research put into that effort that is does seem completely asanine to impose a radar technology into the game that DID NOT EXIST IN WWII.
Scientists, even before WWII were messing around with crude radar and started off in the 30-100 mHz (or so) range and it was not very accurate. They possessed this radar at Pearl Harbor and you know how well that worked. The scientists on most all sides kicked up the efforts at the start of the war and moved up to 200 mHz (some were experimenting with 400 and even 500 mHz range sets) or so and it was a bit more accurate but still had high inaccuracies and could be easily "jammed" by thin metal foil strips (similar to Christmas tree "icicles" but made of super-thin metal) which the British used to mess with German radar sites along the French, Belgian, and Dutch coasts in advance of night bombing missions of the RAF. Since the "chaff" took so long to fall to earth it was a decent system.
The absolute "Cadillac" of radar in WWII was installed very late war onto Royal Navy aircraft carrriers and battleships. It was the best so far but at best, could "see" down to about 500' (Wiki is quoted as saying 650' but take Wiki with a grain of salt).
By the end of the war they were moving up to the 400 and 500 mHz ranges and getting more accuracy but not one system was accurate to more than 500' above terrain except the Royal Navy had a half-way decent radar that went down to around 500' but the naval only radar was only accurate out to about 15 miles or so due to the curvarure of the Earth and the fact that radio waves bend or "refract" out to about another 30% because radio waves bend. And that radar was early 1944 and after, and only the big ships got it because it was expensive to build, maintain, and train operators for. There was no "down to 60' accuracy because anythink less than say 500' was considered inaccurate do to "ground clutter"--and still is.
Read your history. Even the Second Gulf of Tonkin incident in August of 1964 was prompted by inaccurate radar and US naval forces claiming to have been attacked by North Vietnamese naval vessels (read that radar alledgedly accurate down to 60' or so) that prompted America's escallation in the Vietnam War. Inaccurate naval radar...19 years after the END of WWII.
It wasn't until the late 50's and early 60's that the US military went to 800 mHz to 1 GHz radar that was very much more accurate but still can't ID something at 65'. Even the Royal Navy losing the destroyer "HMS Sheffield" in the Falklands War in 1980 shows that the Royal Navy STILL had no decent radar 60' or so as an Argentine flown jet firing a French made Extocet Missle that came in at just around that hight, striking the Sheffield broadside and sending her to the bottom.
Watch your local TV coverage of tornado watches and observe as they try to pull it down to less than 500' and it will turn most of the screen to a blob...ground clutter (unless you live in Iowa or Kansas where it's flat as a pancake). Radar cannot see through mountains or hills, and once a radio signal is deflected off a mountain or hill it is reflected UP--not around an obsticle and is worthless after that in that same direction until the radar rotates back that way again--and STILL cannot "see" through hills or mountains. Modern (read that 1980 or so and after) radar morphed drastically and was not only straight out but at multiple angles almost to vertical for both tracking aircraft and aerial objects but moisture filled clouds as well and color-weather radar began to help track tornado rotation as well as developing tornado rotation--and that's saved countless lives since then--and IT cannot read much below 500'--read that "ground clutter".
Radar in WWII was at VHF and then graduated to UHF. Anyone who has studied radio signals, and radar IS a radio signal, and history, knows that the technology for radar accuracy to much below 500' (much less 200' or even the insane 60') DID NOT EXIST IN WWII in any theater, period.
