Orca I've only heard of a 3 AS-4 loadout. The internal bay can not fit 2 missiles and it only has 2 external pylons so 3 would be the max

Hi,
Adding to Iborg for SSN Suffren in CMO:

Flank antenna in db has 70 nm detection range. On Map only 40 nm is displayed.(See attached)
I guess inherited from former Amethyst class. Hoping to see this corrected.

Also towed array sonar is planed to have 360° detection capacity.

Thanks !

That may be why I couldn’t find a picture of a 3x AS-4 loadout. Would an AS-4 fit in the internal bay?

If this is considered to be possible, can a 3x AS-4 loadout be added to the Tu-22M?

The AS-4 goes on an external centerline pylon when carrying x3 for the TU-22. This blocks access to the rotary bay, so I assume that's another big reason why you don't see a ton of pictures of x3 Kitchen loadouts. There are probably a lot more situations where it's useful to have a rotary bay full of ordinance (the previously shown bay full of Kickbacks) plus two Kitchens rather than just three Kitchens. That being said, it's an entirely plausible loadout that the aircraft has flown with and can be equipped with so I entirely support the inclusion of those missing loadouts into the database.

[Tookatee]

All variants of the Tu-22 Blinder are missing a loadout of x1 #2375 FAB-9000M-54 GPB and the #1662-1663 and #3007 Tu-22 Blinders improperly have the probe refueling proerty despite the fact that those specific variants did not ever have a refueling probe, that is why the Dalni variants (those with a D in their name, e.g. the Tu-22PD, RD, etc.) were developed.

REQUEST NAME CHANGE

I thought this had been changed previously?

#709 INF PLT (BRITISH ROYAL ARMY) - (United Kingdom) change to #709 INF PLT (BRITISH ARMY)- (United Kingdom)
#707 Mech Plt (BRITISH ROYAL ARMY) - (United Kingdom) change to #707 MECH PLT (BRITISH ARMY)- (United Kingdom)
Its not a generic term.
The term "BRITISH ROYAL ARMY" is simply never used, its either just British Army or a specific regiment or corps title which is awarded the term "ROYAL" as an honour from the sovereign. e.g Royal Regiment of Wales etc.

Regards

The #1365 and #997 SSC-3 Styx ASM should have its top speed be set to 622.03 knots (or 320 meters per second.) The current value of 660 knots seems like it may have been derived from an error in reading a Russian chart detailing the statistics of the missile (as it converts to 340 meters per second.)

The highlighted section indicates the speed (or as transliterated "marching speed") in meters per second while the row that lists the 340 value indicates the weight of the rocket motor (or as transliterated "weight of the accelerator".)

Submarine AIP Implementation Issues

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure this issue has been raised before, but I am fairly confident that the way CMANO and now CMO has implemented AIP for those submarines so equipped, is incorrect.

My understanding is that AIP simply replaces the diesel generator as a power source to charge the batteries (hence no need to snorkel). The batteries still deliver the 'hotel load' to run the boats systems AS WELL AS the electricity to run the propulsion motors.

The current implementation seems to simply drain the battery and then switch over to, and drain the AIP...

There should still be a discharge/charge cycle with the boat running on batteries and periodically switching on the AIP to recharge the batteries.

If I have this totally wrong, I apologise, but if I'm right (or close to right) then it fundamentally effects AIP equipped doctrine.

Thanks for having a look.

Hi

Easy BMP-3 Update

#2405 Indonesian BMP-3 called BMP-3F, Marines use.

Look like Algeria never get BMP-3 #2830. There are no picture anywere can probably switch nation

Kuwait has 200+ BMP-3 IOC 1995 (Source SIPRI)

Venezuela has 120+ IOC 2011
