Well she has 8 guns so I would like to have eight, but 3 is ok I think. all guns has "EL-RIS" otical directors. aswell so she can engage up to 8 targets at once, but only three with radar FC. I have a philosophy that every gun should have its own director.
Is the new WM-20/ ARTE-62 dome on your dutch parts sheet?

it is on the dutch parts sheet and the dutch navy parts sheets, yes.
the reason why I would limit the amount of WM's is because they have 2 parts: an search/targeting radar on top, and an director below. having 3 (and in this case I think even 4) tracking radars will most likely give more problems then be really useful.
that said, I can't be certain about that, as there is no ship with an weapons fit like this.

Yes, I know the antenna - called PK-62 (I have the old RSWN education movie about it) in Sweden, As the ship has good air and surface search radars I think it would ok to have just the director antenna in the dome.
I could send a mail to radar geek I know and ask him.

if it is possible to use the system with only the director, then I would opt for that indeed and use 3... 2 with only the director in it, and one higher placed one (slightly) as back up targeting radar system.

Slight WIP
The SAAB Scandia- IRL a small airliner built by SAAB as private venture in around 20 exampels, not a great succes. I choose it as my AEW aircraft for the carrierfleet. Compare it with the E-1/ S-1 tracer.

Impressive, and no doubt a cod version will also be developed? Outside the USN types there was only the Gannet, and that was limited by size. Another candidate (IMHO) would be the Hawker Siddeley 125 business jet, with bigger engines, split tail, folding wings, and of course the radome.
