Exactly what I was going to ask of <wildcolonialboy>. After noticing these things the first thing to try would be to set up some identical scenarios with just one or two aircraft and try to determine if the numbers that you are seeing in ...

RE: Bug in aircraft Radar Cross Section inputs

<t> An additional datapoint. I completely ignored the database and looked at 'real world' performance. I set up a A Russian Billboard [9S15M Obzor], a modern Russia 3D air defence AESA radar with a notional range of 130nm (presumably against non-signature reduction bomber type targets)<br/>

[WAD + TWEAK] Bug in aircraft Radar Cross Section inputs

<t> I've just been looking at some of the Radar Cross Section inputs and they are absolutely ludicrous, or someone wasn't paying attention or just entering whatever.<br/>
<br/>
The UK's F-35B has an RCS of 0.065m2. The identical Marine Corps version has 0.15m2. I can only assume they meant 0.015m2 ...

RE: CAMM missile has incorrect target speed modifier

Data doesn't seem to come back to the original platform on datalinks anymore, and as soon as the weapon goes pitbull it loses the datalink (used to get confirmation through two-way datalink that AMRAAM-D had locked on, and the ...

RE: CAMM missile has incorrect target speed modifier

<t> Two issues with this. First is that it has been widely reported that it is a Mach 3 class missile, so the DB sea level interception speed value of Mach 1.75 is something that perplexes me. The Sea Ceptor was specifically developed with the supersonic, sea-skimming missile threat in mind. If ...

CAMM's estimated speed of Mach 3+ is actually slower than ESSM's estimated speed of Mach 4+.<br/>
<br/>
Remember, CAMM is a rather small weapon (100kg) that is much closer in size to RAM (90kg) than ESSM (280kg).

CAMM missile has incorrect target speed modifier

<r> Greetings<br/>

I was doing a little test scenario to see how a Type 23 frigate armed with CAMM missiles would cope with an attack by supersonic, sea-skimming Oniks missiles. Presumably it should do reasonably well. However when I started engaging the incoming, it showed a -50% target ...

Spear 3 missile addition to DB

<t> Greetings sirs,<br/>
<br/>
Please could you add the Spear 3 missile? It's an awesome little British missile, just now being integrated into Typhoon and in the near future, the F-35. It is like a cross between the Israeli Delilah missile and the SDB-II, a multi-mode seeker air-to-surface ...

Please please can you add Spear 3 missile!?

<t> Please could you add the Spear 3 missile to CMANO? The Spear missile is a truly remarkable little beast. It's based on the UK Brimstone Dual missile (itself a modification of the Hellfire which introduced a dual-mode guidance of both active MMW radar and semi-active laser guidance).<br/>

I decided to create a scenario after being inspired by a documentary film on YouTube, a two-part filmed in 1983 aboard the Royal Navy nuclear hunter-killer SSN, HMS Warspite**. The documentary was made in the early 1980s and it depicts a large NATO naval exercise called 'Ocean ...
