I'm starting to actually get afew of these ships and i'm wondering how effective they have been for people. No smart use the search-engine comments,I already tried.
Do they give better service as CV escorts or SF escorts?

I think they help when avoiding suprise in naval engagements, and I haven't had the IJN suprised in quite a while. The Allies, on the other hand, need all the help they can get - so I think the radar upgrades are a bigger plus to them than the Japanese.

If they are going to be one or the other, they need to be air search, not surface.

I thik it is pretty sad that they have not fixed this in Scenario 15. As pathetic as they are, sound detectors are superior to the radars that replace them because the radar has no effect. The problem is, you can't accept replacements on base forces after the radar becomes available. If you do, your horrible sound detectors become even worse surface search radars.

I am also amazed this keeps getting overlooked. I think it is worthy of a data base patch that works on save games like the AA patch they did in 1.5.
