Introduction

高性能な大型対空電探です。
英国のレーダーを参考に開発したため、他の対空電探より高い性能を発揮しました。

This is a large, high-performance anti-aircraft radar.
Since it was developed from a British radar, it has better air search performance than other radars.

Mechanics

Radars are used to provide boosts to LoS and accuracy . They are additionally used for:

Certain Artillery Spotting,
Certain Night Cut-Ins,
Maelstrom resource loss mitigation,

"Dual Purpose Radars" are radars that are both Surface Radars and Air Radars.
SurfaceSurface Radars are radars that:

Must have 5 or more LoS ,
Are required for some Routings,
Metigate the accuracy penalty of Smoke Screens,
Increase the damage potential of most Special Attacks.

Air Air Radars are radars that:

Must have 2 or more AA ,
Increase the Anti-Air of the fleet,
Are required to trigger most AACI.
