Isn´t a radar equiped aircraft a bit early in 1938?

but so far I thought we´re talking large, bulky, expensive and to some degree experimental devices.

Your heavy planes feature 1700hp engines. 1700hp is quite powerful for the era. Has inline engine tech already reached that level that early?

We have submarines with snorkels in service already. Might as well have a countermeasure too.

We haven't got to centrimetric wavelengths yet and I don't suppose we will until 1942-43 even following the +3 years rule.

What are you taking as combat radius? Its not the radius as given in planebuilder as you need to allocate some fuel to taxi, take-off, climb, combat and reserve. Realistically you're looking at about 1/3rd the range.

How many independent countries are working on radar in addition to the IRL research programs? As near as I can tell:
- Russia
- UK
- US
- Atlantis
- Italy
- India
- Japan
- Netherlands?
- Germany
- SAE?
And those are just the countries I think are actively researching radar; a lot of other folks have it or have manufacturing licenses.

Canada historically, once the war began created the CSC type and SW1C naval radars.
