VAS - Radar on German Ships and rangefinders

[Ostmann]

Hi

I posted this earlier, I realy could do with an answer to thos one

States in the rules for the German Navy - Radar only effective in front arc of the ship also German ships get +1 to hit at extreme range

Q: If radar gives a ship -1 instead of -2 to hit a target at extreme range, then if a German ship with radar has a target at extreme range, does it only get this benefit if the target is in its front arc, and if so does it also get the range finder modifier as well,

Example
German ship fires at target ship with target of 4, which lies in the German ships front arc, does he have -2 for extreme range, +1 for rangefinder then +1 for radar )for detected ship in front arc) this is all in good weather of course

Thanks

The modifiers for the Germans are cumulative - so they do get +1 for Radar and +1 for their gunnery.

The German radar only works for the front arc. If a ship moves out of the front arc after being acquired (either ship's movement can cause this) then the positive modifier is lost and the target will have to be reacquired with the radar if it moves back into the front arc.

So, from that mentality, does that mean that once the ship is acquired by radar, it stays that way until the end of the game, assuming the ship stays in the forward arc? Is that the same for other ships that have a 360° radar? Also, should you roll to acquire a target with radar and fail, do you attempt again next turn or is it a one shot deal?

BS
