<summary>Add new AIM-120D-3 missile (IOC 2023) </summary>
<detail>
AMRAAM’s new AIM-120D-3 missile variant will deliver additional capabilities, including hardware and software upgrades, to address advanced threats.

The F3R program has been developed for the existing AIM-120C-8 and AIM-120D-3 AMRAAMs, which already represent the ‘top of the line’ for these missiles. Of these, the D-model already offers some significant advantages, including a two-way datalink with third-party targeting capabilities.

In particular, the company pointed to the enhanced seeker performance that the F3R provides to the AIM-120D-3, which is now better able to target enemy aircraft and missiles in adverse weather, even when threats are employing advanced electronic warfare systems.

AIM-120D-3 production deliveries beginning in 2023

<summary>Add Antonov An-30 (NATO reporting name: Clank)</summary>
<detail>The Antonov An-30 (NATO reporting name: Clank), is a development of the An-24 designed for aerial cartography. In addition to its principal use as a survey aircraft, it has also been used by Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine to carry out surveillance under the Open Skies Treaty. Soviet An-30s completely mapped Afghanistan in 1982 while Cuban An-30s saw active service in Angola in 1987 and Ukrainian An-30s have been in use during the Donbass conflict. Current and former operators include Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Angola, Cuba, Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia, Mongolia, People's Republic of China, Soviet Union, and Vietnam as well as several Civil operators.</detail>

<type>CORRECTION</type>
<summary>Correct max speed for all versions of MiG-25 (MiG-25P, MiG-25PD, MiG-25PDS, MiG-25RB, MiG-25RBS, MiG-25RBT) </summary>
<detail>Current figures for MiG-25 show a maximum speed at Band 4 (36,000+ feet) to be Mach 2.35/1350 knots. According to Mladenov, the max speed is 3,000 km/hr (Mach 2.83 or 1620 knts). This is confirmed by the Soviet document "Practical Aerodynamics of Aircraft MiG-25RB". A machine translated image of the applicable page(s) are attached. I have combined data from both Mladenov and "Practical Aerodynamics" in this single image, as I can post only one image per post. </detail>

Note: the speed discrepancy on the Mig-25 is particularly noticeable, as eliminates the one advantage the FOXBAT had over western fighters and makes it difficult to employ it as the Soviets designed and envisioned.

I noticed the modern version Of the BB Missouri is missing from the database. Its did even see combat and by modern standards was armed very well and fought in the golf war... kinda... surprised this isn't in the database as it answers what if a battleship was modernized questions and would make some great what if ideas... check the wiki as it has full specs on 1980's era battleship in service

It, and all the various renditions of the Iowa-class from the 1980's are in the DB3000 database. It is possible that you have the game opened to a pre-1982 scenario, so it is using the CWDB database. See below image.

Thank You I was playing Northren Inferno when I checked.... That was it!! I am going to play with these ships for sure

[ExNusquam]

In what I'm calling "Extreme Rivet Counting", The Harpoon Active Radar Seekers (DBIDs 85, 82, 80, 4034) are all listed as I Band, when the DB descriptions (and the Standard Aircraft Characteristics) list the Harpoon seeker as J Band (Ku).

Probably impacts some DECM somewhere...
