RE: Cold War Database 1946-1979 Platform Requests

<t> Several propeller aircrafts (so far I've found B-1, B-17, B-24, B-29, B-50, Il-4, Il-10, Il-14, there may be others) have excessively higher fuel consumption at military speed when compared to cruise speed (10-100x higher). Because several other aircrafts with piston/turboprop engines have their ...

RE: CWDB AIM-9C and Talos H issue

<t> In the Aircraft Database Viewer/Aircraft Stores for the appropriate plane there should be a notice in the description (what system can provide guidance). This is missing for AIM-9C. From my observation, it looks like AIM-9C is not paired to any radar present in the database.<br/>
Also, the ...

RE: Under African Skies (2017) v1.5 -- Testing Now!

After update it looks fine - I've replayed the scenario and events, scoring and everything else should be working as intended. Gameplay is a bit slower (no 30m turnarounds for A/A loadouts), but manageable.

RE: Under African Skies (2017) v1.5 -- Testing Now!

<t> I've ran into problems when updating this scenario to the latest varsion of DB3K. The scenario is built under DB3K v417, update to latest DB throws an error - KC-135 has different loadout. Another one is more serious - magazines of some units contain several weapons in numbers x/99999, these ...

RE: Buddy Illumination

It looks like there is something wrong with the database - AVQ-9 laser designator is incompatible with seeker on GBU-10. If you add a different one, for example generic designator, or AVQ-10 to one aircraft, others will start dropping bombs.

RE: "How not to be seen" as a submarine

<t> Detection range of MAD is much lower (I think about half) if the submarine has non-magnetic hull. Theoretically, a submarine could avoid an aircraft at a standard patrol height (305m) if it can dive as deep as possible (didn't check this myself).<br/>
Also, don't forget about other ...

RE: "How not to be seen" as a submarine

MAD can detect even a stationary submarine. Of course, save would be helpful, to check the opponent's ASW assets.

In the scenario included, an aircraft detects a contact with radar and submarine will identify it as commercial ship when it gets into periscope depth. But, the range between sub ...

As for the second question, I believe the dB values are an approximation and while they might differ a bit from real noise values, for simulation they are precise enough. If you have a specific case of detection that happens too soon or ...

RE: Give Them Hell 2008 broken?

RE: ASW Carrier - messing with a few ideas

<t> I think the concept of ASW carrier is awesome on paper, but it runs into several problems:<br/>
<br/>
1) The carrier itself is a high valuable unit. It can't escort itself, because the usual armament of carrier is for point-defense only. For ASW duty, landing ships can be scratched from group ...

RE: ? Detection Ranges for Ground Units ?

I've approximated detection range at 2m for each level of visual detection zoom level. Given that the best recon cameras have detection zoom 20, this translated to ...

I have decided to use RHIB's, hoping they wouldn't cause PRC to escalate. This triggered rescue events, but at the end I got message that rescue failed, everyone died, and somehow triggered the "Scenario Over - Zumwalt Lost" event and its message even without destruction of Zumwalt.
