After much delay, I am now ready to make my requests regarding Soviet nuclear weapons. Since I made my requests for the Su-6 attacker and Tu-16 changes, I have now learned that the database request threads aren't for everything that existed or even every little detail that is incorrect as much as it is for major inaccuracies and requests things for scenarios. Thus in this post, all of the requests are in regards to scenarios I plan to make.
I will start with free fall bombs. I will list the bombs, their specifications/how they can be implemented, and then list the aircraft that need them. There are alot of fictional nuclear weapons so I suggest converting them into real ones. For example, the RU-57 nuclear bomb does not appear to have existed. However instead of removing it, it can be renamed as, for example, RDS-4, and the characteristics can be changed to that of the RDS-4 (the first Soviet tactical bomb), and as most of the aircraft with the fictional RU-57 also carried the RDS-4 in real life, those aircraft that carry the RU-57 won't have to have a new loadout added. Of course, a new weapon and loadout can be done instead as well, but I hope my idea is possible.

For the Tu-4A

For the Tu-16A**
1 x RDS-1

1 x RDS-5
1 x RDS-6S
1 x RP-30

1 x RDS-3
1 x RDS-4
1 x RDS-5
1 x RDS-6S
1 x RDS-37
1 x RP-30
1 x RP-32
I will provide more information on these loadouts later, however providing the information will be part of a bigger process as one of the main factors (range) is determined by fuel load, which is very inaccurate (way too much) on the Tu-4s at the moment and also inaccurate (also too much but to a lesser degree) on the Tu-95M.
Also, in the case of the Tu-16A and Tu-95MA, these are aircraft not technically in the game and I need to make a full request for them.
Now for the early cruise missile carrying Tu-95s. There are quite a few inaccuracies with these aircraft, to the point that it would make more sense to do a separate series of requests for the early cruise missile carriers. I will request these changes later.
Next is ICBMs. First I will list changes/corrections, then new units.
Changes to DBID #1590 SS-6 Sapwood [R-7, 3.0mT Nuclear]-
Length should be changed to 31.07 m
Span should be changed to 11.2 m
Diameter should be changed to 11.2 m
Anti-land range should be increased to 4266 nm
Rename to SS-6 Sapwood [R-7, 3.0 mT Nuclear] -- 1959-1965, that is, change the comment after the name from 1959-1968 to 1959-1965
Changes to DBID #1591 SS-7 Saddler [R-16, 5.0mT Nuclear]-
Anti-land range should be increased to 5940 nm
Changes to DBID #1673 SSM Bn (SS-6 Sapwood) (Soviet Union [-1991] - 1959)-
Rename to SSM Bn (SS-6 Sapwood [R-7]) -- Soviet Union [-1991] (Strategic Rocket Forces), 1959-1965
Identical to DBID #1673 SSM Bn (SS-6 Sapwood) (Soviet Union [-1991] - 1959)
There are two more platforms I would like to request, the R-5M MRBM and the R-9A ICBM, but I need to find more information before making the request.
**- This aircraft (Tu-16A) is not technically in the game yet, I have to request it before being able to give more information about the nuclear bomb loadouts
****- This aircraft (Tu-95MA) is not technically in the game yet, I have to request it before being able to give more information about the nuclear bomb loadouts
******- This is the weapon that is supposed to be on the mounts for the SSM Bn (SS-6 Sapwood [R-7A]) -- Soviet Union [-1991] (Strategic Rocket Forces), 1960-1968

After much delay, I am now ready to make my requests regarding Soviet nuclear weapons. Since I made my requests for the Su-6 attacker and Tu-16 changes, I have now learned that the database request threads aren't for everything that existed or even every little detail that is incorrect as much as it is for major inaccuracies and requests things for scenarios. Thus in this post, all of the requests are in regards to scenarios I plan to make.
Jo,

Found an errata in the Yak-9 Frank fuel consumption table, as you can see in the image the burned fuel while at max power if by far the lowest of all. Giving it an endurance of as many as 8! hours at max speed.

I have a few requests for some Scandinavian ships, But i have a bit of reference material my self (Janes and lot of other books) , So whats the best way to send the info in, Is there a template or excel sheet i could use to ensure you get all the data you need. To save everyone's time
- Unit number should be 508 not 500
- Picture shows HMCS Protecteur AOR 509
- 7,400t light, 22,000t full
- beam, draft, displacement varies between versions, please correct, 1964 version seems to have the correct dimensions but missing the displacement
#186 – DDH 205 St. Laurent – 1961
- first ship (Assiniboine) conversion to DDH completed in 1963
- Type is listed as DE-Destroyer Escort instead of DDH-Helicopter Destroyer
#7 – DDH 205 St. Laurent – 1967
- Is equipped with Mk46 LWT Mod 2 - (1972) Torpedo, should it instead still have the Mk44 Mod 1 – (1959, Major version) instead like the preceding unit?
- The CA/SQS-504 – (1964, VDS) is removed on the 1967 entry and reappears on the 1972 entry. I cannot find anything that says the system was removed, please add to 1967 entry
#184 DDH 265 Annapolis – 1967
- Crew drops from 228 on 1964 unit to 210 on this entry and back to 228 on 1972 unit
- Mk46 LWT Mod 2 - (1972) Torpedo is fitted on this unit while Mk46 LWT Mod 1 - (1969, Major version) Torpedo is fitted on 1972 unit in CWDB and DB3000, should be flipped?
HYPOTHETICAL UNIT – FFE (Vancouver Class) 1956-
- x13 units, 10 for RCN, 3 for NATO mutual aid
- Memorandum to Cabinet, Mainguy summarized the navy’s proposal:
The Royal Canadian Navy is preparing plans for an anti-submarine escort vessel which is a simplified development of the St. Laurent-class destroyer escort. This twenty-four knot ship, known as the Vancouver-class frigate, is intended primarily for use in the limited role of immediate defence of a convoy and will not have the full capability of the St. Laurent-class destroyer escort in offensive anti-submarine operations. It will be a single screw ship as opposed to the twin screw St. Laurent-class destroyer escort and will use a single unit of machinery basically similar to the two units used in the St. Laurent-class ships. It will be possible to construct the Vancouver-class frigates relatively quickly in wartime and they will be more economical to build than the larger, faster and more powerfully armed St. Laurents.
The 3" rocket loadout for the British Brigand B.1 (#720) is bugged. While the Database says the loadout has a "350nm Strike radius, Hi-Lo-Hi profile" just like the other three loadouts with external weapons, the 3" rocket loadout actually has approximately 175nm of range (not radius) at optimum cruise speed and altitude.
