In the changelog it was reported that TVM SAMs now register on RWR.

But is this entirely realistic? I've read claims that TVM systems like the Patriot can guide missiles in TVM mode while still using tracking beams on the target, thereby masking their true intent.

Can you shed light on how this ...

The author dismissed the "cube root rule of thumb" as a flawed model, but forgot in the process that the rule was derived from empirical data on attacks on warships in WW2, which had far more protection than modern warships.

The data on the effectiveness of anti-ship missiles against modern ...

If the US re-introduces something like the Pershing II, I don't think that will constitute "copying" the Chinese DF-21/26. With its CSGs pushed back to at least 2000km off of China's coast, the US desperately needed an additional attack vector to put China's A2D network at risk.

Any thoughts on this article. Honestly the author is right about China and Taiwan. <br/>

Actually all HQ-9 variants are active-radar homing (no guidance radars on any warships equipped with this missile; the Type 346 radars are basically working like the SPY-1 as in providing mid-course updates, but not terminal ...

HQ-9BE, big big surprise as its export variant sports a ming-boggling 260km range - which is likely a MTCR compliant number. Domestic version of the HQ-9B has long been rumored to approach or exceed 300km range with its later iterations.

<t> I fired the SM-6 Block I against two missiles: LRASM and AS-4.<br/>
<br/>
In the message log I found that the target signature modifier is as follows:<br/>
LRASM: -20%<br/>
AS-4: -10%<br/>
<br/>
Yet, based on signature values from the DB, the LRASM has a radar signature over 10,000 times ...

<t> Type 055 destroyer stats are still very broken:<br/>
<br/>
1. The ship does not have a Type 517 radar<br/>
2. There is not Band Stand radar<br/>
3. There is no Type 364 radar<br/>
4. The ship has a new 4-face X-band AESA radar. This could be modeled as comparable to APAR-X or something ...

<r> I think it is about time that the Chinese destroyer classes 052D and 055 receive quad-packed short/medium range SAMs. <br/>
<br/>
Latest photos from the Zhuhai expo show that the PRC offer an export VLS with quad-packed FM-3000N missiles for export. It is safe to assume that they already have ...

What Western air platforms are there that support jamming of VHF/UHF band radars like the Russian Nebo-M?

<r> In my experience playing the game, TVM FCR like the Flap Lid for S-300 or the MPQ-53 for the Patriot turn red when they launch a missile. Is this realistic: would they really give their intention away as soon as a missile is launched?<br/>
<br/>
In TVM, the ground radar (tracking radar) tracks ...

<r> Is the radar cross section of the Arleigh Burke destroyers too high ? <br/>
<br/>
According to Capt. James Kirk, the RCS of Arleigh Burke is 1/50th that of Ticonderoga cruisers, and Zumwalt 1/50th that of Burke. <br/>

This doesn't seem to be well reflected in the game database:<br ...

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I noticed a curious omission for the seeker capability of SM-6 and ESSM Block 2. Both of these missiles have dual-mode ARH/SARH seekers. The game models them as ARH only. Would this dual-mode capability make any difference in the game? For example, against stealth targets ...

<t> Hello,<br/>

I am looking at the SAM system on Type 054A frigate, designated as HQ-16A or HQ-16B. According to a CSIS report the actual designation of the weapon is HHQ-16 (source: CSIS report August 2015, Russia's Contribution to China's Surface Warfare Capabilities; Paul Schwartz).<br ...

I am looking at the Type 055 (#2834) in the latest DB version. I have noticed a few things that are off, based on what is known about the ship.<br/>

<t> That's an interesting conclusion! I was suspecting that these might be derived values (seeing how the rcs in sq m was recomputed as well), but this is far beyond what I was prepared to imagine. [:D]<br/>
