Hi All!

I am finally at a point where I am figuring out the nuances of this great game and will now start asking stupid questions.

I am studying Bersama Lima platforms at noticed that the Type 1007 radar on both the HMS Kent & HMS Manchester have a 96 nm range in the database sensor section but the surface sensor range ring displays at 25 nm when the sensor is turned on. What am I missing here?

Also why does the Type 1007 appear dimmed in the "Sensors for: HMS..." line?

Screenshot attached for reference

At a guess, the radar may have the power to reach 96 nm, but in this mount the radar horizon is only 25 nm away.

Correct guess.

Because it's the selected row.
