Importance of aircraft radar - 3/17/2011 3:03:25 AM

Status: offline 		i would like to know if other planes (without radar) in a attack group gain advantage if at least 1 plane is equipped with aircraft radar? At the same time, exactly what are the advantages of a radar equipped torpedo bomber during its attack run??
As I see, radar equipped planes at spotting ships before the actual attack run.

Thank you

AFAIK aircraft with radar get a bonus spotting the target but my squadrons with radar eqipped aircraft get just as many "bombers fail to attack target due to range or weather" just like the ones without radar so I don´t give much about radar in this case.

Addendum: Thats all it does. But to say this has no further implications on different game aspects
would be a major understatement...

Hm.

if it´s greyed out then the radar isn´t available yet, so no bonus

So are radar equipped bombers actually better able to pinpoint ground targets????
