Super Low Tier Radar

War Thunder features many modern planes with advanced radars but the technology hasn't always been this far. Thats why War Thunder also features one of the earliest airborne radars ever on the DO-217. It is not very useful but still a very interesting feature to have.

Basically like all early radars. They were just made to hunt bombers in the night

[wape]

To be fair, they were meant to intercept massive waves of British Lancs *at night!*

I used to enjoy learning about the designs of vechiles, trying to put them into some form of practise, player base has taught me otherwise.

I remember in 2019 when those radar were working and can actually detect enemies
I used it alot in sim very helpful

[alexstasko]

Good at head to head because the radar tanks the enemy shots

[Ginja-Ninja-kwiy]

They should do night battles and add more night fighters

[stop-the-greed]

This radar was used to find RAF bombers at night

[CheesyBloke]

Correct me if im wrong but the plane was made to hunt bombers at night which is why it has a radar and at the altitude it goes to ground interference wont matter

[LogischerT]

I bought the He219-A7, which has the same radar. And its really helpfull. I was flying in the clouds and it showed me every time when there was an enemy aircraft, even with just 2-4km of range due to the ground. I could dive down, obliterate it with a single gun run and climb back into the clouds, and got 4 air kills that way

Technically the French Catanlina at 1.7 has a radar but it isn't modeled. There is also a French 2.0 bomber (I think) with the same issue as the French catalina

Someone out there has mastered this thing, and Id like to meet them.

[a_catfish]

Everybody gangsta until it gets iff and fox-3s

[ginospina]

I thought there was one other german bomber with radar in tier 1

[comet]

Get a squad of these fuckers going in sim and you got yourselves some AWACS

[cartillery_battallion]

Most likely useful in sim at night where you can’t see enemy name tags

[ZombieSlayerPlays]

IFF in the 1930s? You're kidding me

[FuriousFire]

The British Blenheim bomber sits at a lower br but with a radar fitted in 1940 but war thunder hasn’t added it :/
Just a video idea for ya

[percival]

I have this plane. Radar aint too good but those 4 20mm cannons sticking out behind it cuts through bombers like a red-hot knife through butter!!

[generatorbrainrot]

wait till you see the F6F-5N(US&FR) it has a radar with max configurable range of 120km(default 9), IFF and ACM mode of 1km

[FD_TOMCAT]

I tried you need to be at least at 6000 meters for the radar to be effective and you still have a kilometer short if not at 10000( leave a like as the time that i have put in this comment )
