Sorry for the stupid question, but is the games database open?
Can people add pictures, extra equipment (planes,vehicles, boats subs etc)?

Is there any entries for European fishing trawlers in the DB3000? can't seem to find any.

These are in the DB3K as Commercial:
Commercial Factory Trawler [2,500t DWT]
Commercial Fishing Boat [23m]
Commercial Fishing Boat [35m]
Commercial Large Trawler [1,250t DWT]
Commercial Trawler [800t DWT]

Have a question: in the CWDB i found the entries for the navy version of the Sikorsky HO4S-3 for Canada and the Netherlands, shouldn't there be an entry for it for the US Navy?

Hi All,

Copying from the specific thread.

Italian light carrier C 551 Giuseppe Garibaldi: too many Aircraft slots (16 Hangar + 12 Open parking). In reality this very small (14kTon) vstol carrier can operate a MAXIMUM of around 16 aircrafts (standard wing of 8 AV8+ and 6 Helicopters)

Italian light carrier C550 Cavour: 1) not enought Aircraft slots (6 Hangar + 6 Open parking). this ship is twice the size of smaller C551 Garibaldi (27kTon vs. 14kTon) and in reality can operate around twice the air wing (20 to 30 aircrafts: 12 Hangar + 14 Open parking would make sense). ALSO the current version of the game does not allow for Aircraft ammunitions on this ship (maybe because it is recorded as a LHA ---> which is also wrong as it is the first italian ship to be optimised as a carrier).

Regards
Giovanni

anyway of getting photos of the platform/unit added to the database? The adverts of the game prior to release seemed to indicate there would be a photo(s) along with all the data. Data base is indeed very useful.

Maybe I am being a little thin skinned here (or perhaps a little guilty) but its all positive IMO. Feedback to make the game better and more representative has got to be positive and requesting changes, additions or corrections to a game driven by a big database (created by a relatively few highly talented individuals I must say) has got to be seen as the wider community getting its say now. I view it as help, after all if I or others know which little niches of the internet or open source to look in to make the game better (as in 11/10 rather than 10/10), then so much the better...

Any chance of a 2015 SA-21b, as per the earlier SA-21 but with TELS that have 2 x 9M96E, 2 x 9M96E2, 1 x 40N6 and 2 x 48N6E3 - this provides for layers which is the whole point of the Triumf system (according to its designers). I checked the Mk41 VLS and Sylver before asking for this - if its good enough for the navies then surely GBAD can have it too [:D]

ausairpower.net would be the source for this, the date is based upon the fact that they are not yet shipping the 40N6...

Iron Dome please

There are lots of reference sources there too, including a reference to it also going to Singapore

Cyprus

Please add SA-11b Buk-M1
Please add SA-15b TOR-M

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus_Air_Forces

SA-15 goes round in 4's - it works that way as in 4 TELAR and a Command Vehicle. I can show you dozens of youtube videos originally from the manufacturer that show it doing that. Your SA-15's are shown in pairs - they don't work like that...
