At the same time, is B5N2 with H-6 a good idea for suggestions?

What can this radar do? If it’s like the german WW2 air intercept radars I don’t see it being of much use.

The H6 radar can detect large ships at 100 km, aircraft at 70 km and small ships at about 25 km. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a pretty good radar.

Aircraft at 70km? That’s pretty impressive!

I don’t know about the chosen platforms though. Neither would benefit much, if at all from a radar. Most I can imagine is to avoid other players in Simulator.

Except for J1N1-J, P1Y2-J all planes using H-6 radar were bombers. H-6 radar was big and heavy (100kg), so it couldn’t be put in navy fighters.

Would it not be possible as a modification?

Yes, you can install the H-6 radar as a modification. I just wanted to know what the community thinks about such a suggestion.

That is, propose the G3M/B5N with the H-6 radar, or suggestions for modification (installation) of the H-6 radar on current aircraft.

Made the wikipedia page for the AAM-4 accurate and actually decently filled with information, continueing with re-writes to the AAM-5 and F-2, gonna have a wikipedia page for the GCS-1 at some point soon also.

Wow, the AAM-4 page is really nice now. Finally, I can read wikipedia without having to look at the source for every line.

Each section was basically drawn from its own source, due to the spread of first hand information, working on finding some links for some of the articles sourced which i didn’t have links for though. Adding more citations would’ve just been slapping the same thing repeatedly at the end of each sentence.
