Sometime back around patch 1.4(?), the penetration value for the Type 13 got zero'ed. It was there in the original release (1.0/1.21) but no-one seemed to notice that it got cleared until 1.5(?). [And again, I think it slipped pass in the last 1.6 database changes.]
Currently, I don't believe that any database fixes are planned. Work is concentrated on fixing code bugs.
If you want to have the radar fixed, either use my little program to update the scenarios #1-16 or duplicate the scenario in question to another slot and update the 'penetration' value to 500 for device 139.

Penetration for radar is simply a flag. 0 means it detects surface units 500 means it detects air units.
The aircraft/surface classification only refers to where the radar is mounted. (Surface is on ships and LCU, air is aircraft).
There was a fix posted from michael that would update the database but it of course does not work on games in progress.
If I understand correctly, since there is unlikely to be a database change in the foreseeable future, and there is likely to be 1-2 patches by such time, doesn't that mean that until the database is changed that if you patched that data yourself, as I did, that it will stay that way? If, in the future, there should be a database change, and that particular bit of data is there, IOW the entire database would be on the patch not just the changes, that would necessitate re-applying the patch wouldn't it (assuming the fix still left the value at zero)? Do Matrix patches for DB's just include the changes or the whole thing? Thanks.
