For me, I haven't found the investment to be worth it. Never noticed much of a difference between the games that I researched radar technology and built stations and attachments, and those I didn't. At tleast not enough to make it worth the IC, tech slots, and time invovled.

You still need the techs upto Average radar for Carriers above basic I believe atleast in IC. so don't not reasearch it if you are USA or Japan. It also acts like encription/decription devices if you look what the research says it does if you compare it to other research items in IC. I am not sure if radar installations are worth it, but also I like to add radar to my ships also..so the research is needed for alot of things. Also if you look at the air craft production and tech screens Average radar is the key to several models of planes and a few doctrine. Basic radar for some naval doctrine.

In my experience researching radar is very important, building radar stations is IMHO not worth it.

At least for ship attachment, radar is important.

In my last Battle of Brittain playing England I got use of my radar line 6 times of 600 aprox air combats.
I got double of my airfields in the south with 2 or 4 radars in each with 32% efficiency. So they where there mostly for show IMHO
