Priority: Medium

I have no idea what the official name will be, but "Medusa" made sense...it keeps with the mythological thread started with Pegasus, and Medusa seemed appropriate...after all, if you see her, it means you die.

Chotia Weedhopper (Civilian) <-- The most popular ultralight in the world...just the thing to add a little more noise to the battle environment...or perhaps get used by a spy or a terrorist to spot something someone else does not want them to see.

Let L-410 Turbolet (Various)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_410_Turbolet
Priority: Low <-- I don't know if I will ever need this, but more than 1,000 have been built and they are used all over the world, so it's definitely something that might be useful to someone

[Mgellis]

And a few more...

(By the way, I know it will take a while to get all these added...I'm just posting them here as I think of them so that the database editors will have something they can refer to. Like I said, "Medium" means "Someday, please, but there's no rush." Thanks in advance.)

Nomad 1000-T (Civilian)

Yes, it's a private submarine! Just the thing for drug lords...


Lifeboat (Civilian)
There are dozens of models available...I took at a guess at the "average" one with this 6.5-m, 15-person lifeboat...

Inf Sec (Pirates) (Pirates)
You could just use the Observation Post Sec, as it has the one machine guns and nothing else (maybe give them a couple of rocket launchers, too?), but change the name (for the sake of Victory conditions, etc.)
Priority: Medium


Inf Sec (Criminals)(Generic)
You could just use the Observation Post Sec, as it has the one machine guns and nothing else (maybe give them a couple of rocket launchers, too?), but change the name (for the sake of Victory conditions, etc.) This can be used to model drug dealers, etc.
Priority: Medium


Civilians (Civilian)
Basically, this is just a platoon with no weapons. They cannot fight. But they may need to be protected. Or rescued. Or they might just be close to something that has to be destroyed, but God help you if you hit them by accident.


Building (Complex) (Generic)
This is simply a generic 1,200-point structure, something the size of a palace, bigger than a single very large building, but not necessarily a palace. It could be an office complex, a shopping mall, a college, etc.
Priority: Medium


Structure (Water Treatment Plant) (Generic)
Basically, just use the Industrial Plant, but change the name for the sake of victory conditions, etc.
Priority: Medium


Bridge (Railroad) (Generic)
Unless the 60-ton single lane bridge is meant to be a railroad bridge? Sorry, it isn't clear if that's what you meant. Maybe just add it anyway so there is no confusion about it?

I just noticed most US and NATO tactical fighters are missing their B-61 nuclear loadouts. One of the few that doesn't is the A-6, which has a B-61 loadout available.
It's missing for, among others: Tornado, F-16, F-15E, F-111E/F and probably lots of others. All these planes are nuclear capable and had or even still have a nuclear strike role. British Tornados are also missing their WE.177 bombs.

Edit:
German Tornado's also don't have any retarded bombs in their loadouts. Right now, they only have the Mk83 LDGP bombs, not allowing them to do low altitude laydown attacks. They should also get the Mk83AIR ballute-retarded versions, which are used in reality, as this video shows:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei5ClUzT ... be&t=1m48s

Edit 2:
The top speed (full speed) of the B-52H is much too low, at just 350 knots. Looking at online sources, cruise speed should be around 420 knots, with full speed something like 500kts.

Cessna 205/206/207 (Civilian)

Swiftships Model 35PB1208 E-1455
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiftships ... 208_E-1455

Small Arms (Generic)
Not sure how to model this, but basically this can be used for situations where a group might have some pistols, rifles, shotguns, etc., but not military grade weapons. Like the crew of a merchant ship. Range is probably only 0.1 miles. Damage (at least at the level at which Command handles it) is probably the same as the 7.62 machine gun, though.

Terrorist Nuke (Terrorists)
This can probably be based off the 5-kt nuke; any changes would be that it is the sort of thing that would get hidden inside a cargo container and used to blow up a port instead of being dropped from an airplane.

[TonyAAA]

It's not a new platform, but I'd like to see the stealth variant of the MH-60 Black Hawk added.

The type used in the Bin Laden raid.

[Juramentado]

MQ-8C - the Charlie version is based on the Bell Jetranger/Kiowa model, but with 12 hours mission duration instead of the Bravo's 5.5 hours. Also, per another link I posted here (Seapower Digital Magazine OCT 2013), the Charlie will have the same EO/IR sensor suite as the B plus a ZPY-4 Surface Search radar set (nice).

Also, can we request the FireScouts all have the APKWS loadout now that it's set for IOC in 2014 please?

Now that we're in 1.0 release, I will re-request FA/50 and TA/50 jets for South Korea please. [8D]

Finally - can we add some Navantia (Spain) configs please:

Navantia 1400 BVL - http://www.navantia.es/ckfinder/userfil ... 281%29.pdf

Navantia 1800 Corvette - http://www.navantia.es/ckfinder/userfil ... 281%29.pdf

Could I please request the following for a Indonesian/Australian scenario I am working on. I saw some of them requested already, but included them to second their inclusion, although I realise quite a few are simply variations of existing platforms that can be substituted instead. I also tried my best with references and did have links for each, but unfortunately I am not able to post links, so I am happy to provide them on request via PM.

Australian Aircraft:
Correction - RAN version of the NH-90 is listed in the DB as the NFH version, but should be the TTH version that is used for vert-rep and the NFH version lost to MH-60R as S-70-B2 Seahawk replacement.
24 MH-60R for Navy
CH-47F for Army

Indonesian Aircraft:
24 former USAF F-16 Blk 25 upgraded to Blk 32+
KAI T-50 Golden Eagle
Hawk 109 & 209
Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano
Su-30MK2
CASA CN-235 MPA
NC-212 MPA
AH-64E
Mi-35
AS-550 Fennec
Mi-17 V5
EC-725
AS-330J
NB-412

Malaysian Aircraft:
AS-555SN Fennec
Super Lynx Mk.100

Australian Ships:
Canberra Class LHD - I know this was requested already.
HMAS Choules(former RN Bay Class) - Another repeat request.
HMAS Sirius AO
Pacific Class Survey Vessels - Also used for border patrol
Cape Class Patrol Vessels - Operate with RAN patrol boats

New Zealand Ships:
L 421 Canterbury
Protector Class OPV
Protector Class Inshore Patrol Vessels

Indonesian Ships:
The 3 F 80 Nakhoda Ragam class eventually got sold to Indonesia.
Improved Chang Bogo SSK
Makassar Class LPD
KCR-40 Missile Boats
PC-40 Class Patrol Boats
Boa Class Patrol Boats

Singapore Ships:
Archer Class SSK

Thanks in advance and sorry for such a long list!

[Gratch1111]

I Think you should focus on missing ships. If a country used a plane that is not in the list it can usually be found with Another country, that is not the same with ships. Example

Jap has F-15, you can probably find similar F-15 with US or Isr
Jap has new Destroyer/carrier, no one else has a similar ships and its not in the DB

[Lerxt]

I am working on Australian/Indonesian scenarios an second the above units being needed.

Agree and that is what I have done so far, especially for the planes, even some of the ships have substitues or equivalents already in the DB. A lot of the small craft and patrol boats could probably have a generic platform represent them with a radar and a few machine guns, since there are probably hundreds of them around the world.

[Mgellis]

What is the view of the database editors on speculative and fictional platforms?

For example, I think you could have really interesting scenarios with this...

Flying Saucer (Alien)

Obviously, being a fictional platform, the parameters can be anything the database editor wants. Possibly more than one flying saucer platform will be included. Personally, I thinking of these guys...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o4fdX8gUMY

(This is a fun movie, by the way, with special effects by the legendary Ray Harryhausen, and aliens who are not simply ruthless conquerors but genuinely evil and sadistic rat bastards...considering that this was 1956, what they do to the heroine's father and the way they "return" him to her are pretty shocking!)

The flying saucer will have air-to-air performance similar to that of an SR-71...but it can also hover and land vertically like a helicopter if it needs to. It has a nuclear engine and does not need to refuel. In theory, it can fly forever. It is fairly nimble, but its real strength is that it is FAST and does not have to worry about running out of fuel. It is armed with a couple of COIL lasers (or one can call them something else, and maybe make them powerful, but suffice that it can use directed energy weapons that are faster and more accurate than bullets and have a range of several miles against surface ships, aircraft, etc.)

"Speed, maneuverability, and force..."

A few more buildings...

(The reason I'm suggesting specific buildings is because some might be linked to Events. Buildings do not do anything, but they are things that can be destroyed or protected. In many cases, one of the generic building types--small, large, etc.--can be used as a model; this just adds a name so the Specific Unit level can be chosen in the Event Editor.)

[ComDev]

Thanks for your input guys. Just need to clear some high-pri items on the code-side and then I'll get back to the db updates.

Would be fantastic if you could also post more links to the above requests. Preferably links to public resources that have the itty-bitty details that we need. Due to Command's complexity we need quite a bit of info before we're able to make a good implementation of a platform. So the more info the better. Ships even need fuel qty (in tons) in order to simulate fuel burn rates correctly!

Thanks again! [8D]

[El Savior]

I'm making Scandinavian scenario. I was hoping to get more precise coastal forts for Finland. Now they are there, but all are using general (old) 243mm gun (ww2 era). We have several newer guns. I'm looking for making new general coastal fort for Finland:

3 x 130 53 TK armored turret
3 x 100 56 TK armored T-54 turret
3 x ZSU-23 guns
1 x ammo bunker (underground)
2 x coy infantry
2 x 12.7mm mg

Looking forward for added units for Finland:
