Surveillance Radar

Surface-search or Surveillance Radar expands the range at which the ship can detect other ships, without regard to line-of-sight obstacles such as smoke, terrain, or weather.

——  Details  ——

This consumable is excellent for hunting down destroyers, as it instantly reveals all enemy ships within the radar's specified radius, regardless of any obstacles such as smoke screens or islands. Additionally, it can extend view range in cyclones. For example, the American Tier VIII cruiser Baltimore can see enemy ships at 10.00 km during a cyclone, giving her a 1.0 km advantage. Note that this will only work for radars with a range of more than 8.0 km (as cyclones hard cap visibility range at 8.0 km). While active during a cyclone, Surveillance Radar will extend a ship's visibility range out to match the ship's radar range for the duration of the radar consumable. This allows radar-equipped ships to potentially fire their main battery undetected for a time.

The ship using the radar sees the detected enemies immediately in the game world and on the minimap. Her allies see them immediately on the minimap but only after 6 seconds in the game world, provided that the enemies remain in the radar zone for the whole time.

Surveillance Radar detects only ships, not torpedoes or aircraft.

British and American cruisers have longer lasting duration, while Russian cruisers have longer detection range. Pan-Asian destroyer radar is of very short duration, but does extend past their typical detection radii.
