Ship upgrade question for Don

Post by jcjordan »

Don, I'm not sure if this is correct or not but I noticed several of the BB's have 2 aft facing radars when upgrading. I just took a quick look around & noticed the NC & Col classes but there may be several more BB's as well as other types. Is this correct or not for a ship to have 2 radar systems?

Yes Sir - it is correct. After experience around Guadalcanal it was decided to fit a second radar set to U.S. battleships. The "A" is Above, not aft, so these were 360 degree search radars.

Ok thanks just thought it strange as I didn't remember the ships being that way in the Matrix stock versions.
