Title: PT boat radar
Post by: ML52 on March 14, 2017, 04:02:02 PM
I think it would help to have a surface radar active on the pt boats to help find the fleet.

with full zoom you can spot the cv at 'radar range'

Radar, made the PT boats very effective at night.
Being so small and low to the water, they would often be missed by IJN radar.

Depends on which PT Boat we have.  Some early boats had early radar kits (SCR-517) that weren't very successful and only saw use on a limited number of boats, some even had SCR-517 removed (PT 109 is an example).  It wasn't towards the end of the war that later war constructed boats received the S0-3 radar with a 17nm range.

Well, the "main arena" has the late period, 190D9's, M18 Hellcats, Tempests, Panthers, Sherman Calliope's, ME262's, Essex class carriers, Tiger2's, Missouri class BB's, and AR234's?

That being the MA situation, one would think we would have "late version" PT boats too? Kinda follows doesn't it?

We also have the same carrier, destroyers, and cruiser in every arena, every special event with any form of ships, for every time period.


Just saying, we're a very inconsistent lot in some ways.
