Me Bf 109 E-4 mit Peil Gerat IV
PeilG IV antena was not a radar but more like a locating antenna.
It was not very successful. It was hard for pilots to see any targets, as the nightfighter role was lead by searchlights so they could see the targets.
The device was used at dawn or at dusk. It was later replaced by the Bf 110 with radar .
