Hi

Look like Spice 2000 Integrated on Israeli Barak. See photo below. Likely same for F-16I and F-15I. Will see if I can find pictures of those.

The F-15X Should have an AN/APG-82(V)1 instead of the AN/APG-63(V)3.

ASM-3 range should be 400 km now. Also could you add a load out for the F-2 fighters with an ASM-3 carried, along with 6 tube/VLS truck launched version that replaces the Type 12, and a ship launched version in a 4 missile box launcher?

[KC45]

There are no information for ship launched ASM-3, but it might be in the plan. There is information for super-sonic CM but it is different development. Also ASM-3ER for extend range to 400km is still in development, current ASM-3 has around 200km range. And because of PLAN's Navy power got stronger,the budget for production of ASM-3 is cancelled. The program for ASM-3ER will start 2020. So we don't have to worry adding ASM-3 to DB for next few years.

It is fine to have a near future system like ASM-3ER in the game now. Is it going to take more than 5 years to extend the range of the ASM-3? It seems obvious that they would also field land and ship launched versions of ASM-3ER.

Kasta 2E (#2248) has the same radar generation as the older P-19 it's supposed to replace.

A-7H has ALR-45/50 in 1976 (#2969), the ALR-66 in 1984 (#2267), then back to ALR-45/50 in 1990 (#1430), then finally the ALR-66 again from 2002 (#2067)

Scenario Reds, Issue #3. Command is updated to v1.15.2. Scenario updated to DB 477.

DB Entry for SAM BN (HQ-12) Unit #1277 says for Missle Defence 1 Harpoon /SLAM.
However, the SAM can easily shoot down 2 HARM or 2 Fasthawk Missles. My guess is Missle Defence should be at least 6.

Greetings, Nudnik

Some request on French forces:

Weapons:
Mica-NG infrared
Mica-NG active radar

Those are new version of the Mica AAMs (DB ID 1872 and 1873)
Main changes are upgraded seekers (with an AESA for the radar), more propellant volume and a dual-pulse engine:

More specifically, the infrared seeker will use a matrix sensor providing greater sensitivity. Meanwhile the radio frequency seeker will use an AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Antenna), enabling smart detection strategies. The reduced volume of electronic components within MICA NG will allow it to carry a larger quantity of propellant, thereby significantly extending the range of the missile. Utilising a new double-pulse rocket motor will also provide additional energy to the missile at the end of its flight to improve manoeuvrability and the ability to intercept targets at long range.

manufacturer PR

IOC 2026, will be carried by Rafale, Mirage 200D and Mirage 200-5:
source

The main issue for DB addition is the range. Current MICAs are modelled with 45nm range. As a comparison, the AMRAAM went from 60nm to 75nm range in the DB from the -C7 do the -D, which apparently introduced a dual pulse engine. That's a 25% increase. So Mica-NG should have the same increase at least, giving a range of 55nm.
Also, Mica are CEC capable, this should be added in the DB, it's important with the recent air warfare changes. There was a test of a Mica radar version with designation from another platform, with the target behind the shooter:
source


Aircraft:
Mirage 2000D MLU
It is an upgrade of the Mirage 2000D (DB ID 3931), with the main changes being the addition of a podded canon, and the replacement of the Magic II AAM by Mica IR:

Armed Reaper UAV
The reaper UAV are represented as unarmed in the database (ID 3231). Starting from 2019 they will be armed:
source
Since France has ordered 6 block I and 6 block 5, I suggest to add the block 5 with an IOC of 2019 (basically clone the US block 5 DB ID 4536)

SDAM drone
A drone helo to be carried by the frigates: will carry a radar and an IR turret at the same time, 10hours of autonomy, 15kg fuel/hr, 4hr of maintenace every 50hr (so the ready time should be much shorter than a traditional helo), top speed 185km/h, max altitude 6000m. Will come as an addition to the existing helo since it can fit in the remaining space in the hangars due to its small size
IOC 2028

Ships
Air defense version of the FREMM (FREMM AAW)
Already exists in the DB as the 2022 version of the FREMM ASW (DB ID 2794). The ASW should be replaced by AAW to avoid confusion

Intermediate size frigate
5x, IOC 2025
Basically a FREMM ASW with the 16 MdCN removed, and the radar replaced by a fixed-plate Seafire AESA. The CAPTAS towed sonar is also replaced by a lighter version with the same performance called CAPTAS nano:
manufacturer PR
full specs at wikipedia, primary source


upgraded Lafayette frigates
3x, IOC 2021
An upgraded version of DB ID 2520, with an added bow sonar, and the Crotale SHORAD replaced by two SADRAL Mistral launchers. Will use block III exocest but that's already the case in the DB

The firing facilities of the 8 anti-ship missiles, now the Exocet MM40 Block2, will be modified for the implementation of Exocet Block3/Block3c. The Crotale system with its 8 missiles in battery and 16 in cargo hold will be landed and replaced by two Sadral with 6 Mistral missiles each. These systems will come from the former anti-submarine frigates Dupleix, Montcalm and Jean de Vienne, which were retired in 2014, 2017 and 2018. Upgraded, the Sadral will implement the latest version of the Mistral, with an improved self-director to increase anti-missile capability and also to address asymmetric threats, including surface targets such as fast boats. The renovated FLFs will also be equipped with the new KingKlip Mk2 hull sonar, which will give them an anti-submarine warfare capability that these vessels have hitherto lacked (only the Surcouf is equipped on an experimental basis with a BlueWatcher hull sonar since 2017).

JAGM’s first increment incorporates a dual mode guidance section capable of Precision Point targeting using a Semi Active Laser (SAL)
sensor, Fire and Forget targeting using Millimeter Wave (MMW) radar, and a targeting capability that leverages both radar and laser targeting
capabilities for maximum operational flexibility. JAGM leverages the fielded and combat proven HELLFIRE II Romeo (AGM-114R) propulsion, warhead, and control sections. The JAGM system will be compatible with all Joint Rotary Wing and Unmanned Aerial Systems that are
compatible with the HELLFIRE II missile. JAGM Increment 1 will have an 8 km range, be 70 inches in length, and have a weight of 115 lbs.
JAGM Increment 2 adds increased range and terminal aim point targeting, as well as passive lock-on-after-launch capability. JAGM Increment
3 adds passive lock-on-before-launch targeting capability and increases to a 16km range.

Please add Indian Amphibious Class MK IV LCU class

https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http ... 18.jpg&f=1

https://www.janes.com/article/87630/ind ... -mk-iv-lcu

The Indian Navy has commissioned its sixth Mk IV landing craft utility (LCU).

The vessel (L 56), which was launched by India's state-owned shipyard Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) in March 2016, was commissioned on 30 March in a ceremony at Kolkata, the country's Ministry of Defence announced on the same day.

The LCU is part of an INR21 billion (USD303 million) contract signed between GRSE and the Indian government in September 2011. The first of class (L 51) was commissioned in March 2017, while a further four LCUs (L 52 to L 55) were inducted between August that year and December 2018.

The vessel has a standard displacement of 830 tonnes, an overall length of 62.8 m, an overall beam of 11 m, and a hull draught of 2.2 m. Powered by two MTU 16V 4000 M53 diesel engines with a power rating of 1,840 kW, and a twin fixed-pitch propeller propulsion system, the LCU can attain a maximum speed of 15 kt and a standard range of 1,500 n miles at 12 kt. It can accommodate 50 personnel, including five officers.

The LCU is armed with two 30 mm CRN-91 Sarath naval gun system turrets manufactured by Ordnance Factory Medak that are each complemented with a Bharat Electronics-built EON-51 electro-optic fire-control director. The vessel has a lift capacity for up to 160 fully equipped soldiers.

https://www.naval-technology.com/projec ... ility-lcu/

The Mark-IV Class LCU is powered by two MTU 16V 4000 M53 marine diesel engines coupled to a twin-propeller fixed-pitch propulsion system.
The propulsion system enables the LCU to attain a maximum speed of 15kt and a range of more than 1,500nmi.
