Hi

Found an error, Montenegro has PC-171 listed under ships.

The PC-171 „Biokovo“ is used by Croatia as OB-61 „Novigrad“ From 1991
The Croats should also have PC-176 „Mukos“ listed as OB-62 „Solta" From 1991
PC-180 „Cer“ as OB-63 „Cavtat“ From 1991
PC-181 „Durmitor“ as OB-64 „Hrvatska Kostajnica“ From 1991
all Mirna class

Montenegro is using
PC-174 „Ucka“ as P-01 „Bar“ From 2003
PC-178 „Kosmaj“ as P-03 „H.Novi“ From 2003
also all Mirna Class

Hi Baloogan

There should be a single unit Heliport, 100-450m airfield and possibly more that would work.

Let me know if it doesn't though and we'll get something in there.

Mike

Hey Mike, I completely lost track of this thread heh,

If it wouldn't be too much trouble Id like to get a 'just the pad' airbase unit.

[Dide]

I hope not to be too boring, but I noticed that the helicopter EH.101 MK 110 ASW Merlin
embarks only two torpedoes MU-90 instead of the four that are on the
site of the Italian Navy. Thank you for all that you do!

[Blu3wolf]

Could we have B model Hornets for the Australians?

we do have 16 of them, and I would love to use them in a scenario that is upcoming.

I do note that D models are in the DB so I see no reason to avoid the B model...

Pretty sure we have a heliport and at least one airfield with a really small runway. Let me know if you need something more specific though.

[Blu3wolf]

Y'know, the Pilatus PC-9A would be nice to have too. Cant model FACDU without them!

thanks guys!

#96 - SKR Riga [Pr.50 Gornostay] uses #2187 - 53-65K WH torpedoes, which is strange because these are only used against surface ships, being wake homing torpedoes. Ship's torpedo tubes (533mm Triple TT) also have no other default ordnance option.

I'm not expert enough to know which torpedo should be used in their place, but it seems like there are other options for ASW fish: the SET-53 and SET-53M, SET-65 "Enot-2", etc.

So I spent a while looking at Russian sources, it took a while but once I found sources that included later modifications the ship class adopted use of 53-65K anti-ship torpedoes in 1969 - the export ships were provided the export version of the torpedo.

It was an either/or thing 2 53-65s or 3 SET-65s

Торпедное:
1 Х 2 или 1 Х 3 • 533-мм ТА ДТА-53-50 или ТТА-53-50 –
1 х 3- 533 мм (ТТА-53-50) 3 торпеды СЭТ-65 или 1 х 2- 533 мм (ДТА-53-50)-2 торпеды
53-65 Парогазовая самонаводящаяся торпеда : основные характеристики
Калибр, мм 533
Длина, м 7,2
Масса, кг 2100
Масса ВВ, кг 300
Скорость хода, уз 45
Дальность хода, км 18

Everywhere I read when they carried TTA (triple torpedo apparatus) they carried ASW torps and DTA (Double) they carried ASuW torps.


But looking closer, the CWDB has the 1954 version of the class having 2x 533 Triple Torpedo tubes. Here is a line drawing of the class as it was in 1954:



Note only the one apparatus. It was driving me crazy trying to find a clear picture with the DTA but found plenty of documentation on the upgrade.

It appears in practice though, what DB3K has (for the Soviets) is correct other than the triple TT. The ships carried ASuW torpedoes as a rule. It was either/or and they sailed with the ASuW fish, probably says a lot abut the role they were used in by 1969. Again this only refers to the Soviet ships.

Both DBs have Pegasus-2 on the class it was upgraded to Pegasus-3M in 1959-1960.

Could I get a unit with one AircraftFacility: 1x Pad (1x Large Aircraft)

The Single-Unit Airfield (Heliport) has 10x Hangar (8x Medium Aircraft) and 4 pads and 4 runway access points; I'd like to get a unit with one 1x Pad if possible.

Plus for North Korea, roughly 450 A/C in their OOB are of the following (absolutely obsolete) classes:
An-2 Colt (or Y-5 Chinese copy)
Mi-2
Mi-4 (or the Z-5 Chinese copy)

Hi Baloogan


Would the landing zone unit work?

I'll add a a smaller version of it but its probably what you're looking for.

Will add requests for the rest.

This is my third post. I should have started the first by saying that this game is absolutely outstanding, and the support from the CMANO team is probably the best I’ve ever seen. BZ! Now on to business:

I’ve noticed that there are a number of inaccuracies with later units of the US Ticonderoga-class cruisers. For all the sub-variants from CG 52 (USS Bunker Hill) through CG 70 (USS Lake Erie), DB3000 has incorrect figures from 2010 onwards.

Starting in 2009 all surviving units of the Tico class are being modernized to a common baseline under the Cruiser Modernization Program. The basic changes are as follows:
*SPY-1B(V) vice SPY-1A or -1B.
*SPS-49 removed.
*SPQ-9A replaced with SPQ-9B.
*SQS-53A or -53B replaced with SQS-53C .
*SQR-19 replaced with SQR-20 Multi-Function Towed Array (Besides being a regular towed array sonar, the SQR-20 significantly increases range of the active SQS-53C by operating as a bi-static receiver through the SQQ-89A(V)15 system).
*SLQ-32(V)3 replaced with SLQ-32A(V)3.
*61-cell Mk 41 VLS launchers replaced with 64-cell launchers (removal of reloading cells).
*Added ability to carry ESSM, SM-3, and (when available) SM-6.
*Mk 45 Mod 1/2 guns replaced with Mk 45 Mod 4 5-in 62 caliber guns and new GFCS.
*CIWS brought up to Mk 15 Block 1B standard.
*Mk38 Bushmaster 25mm cannons replaced with much improved Mk38 Mod 2.
*4x Mk 53 Nulka decoy launchers added if not already carrying them.
*Cooperative Engagement Capability added.

Modifications to CG 52-58 have already been completed. All US CGs not scheduled for decommissioning are being similarly modified at a rate of ~2-3 per year.

I guess I'm not allowed to post links yet or I would include some with additional details and references. Rag or Mike you can contact me via e-mail if you need more info.

Cheers!

Ground Master 400/406 series

I see the 403 for Finland, Estonia and Slovenia

http://www.armyrecognition.com/france_f ... tures.html

Variants
The GM400 family includes the GM403 and the GM406. The GM406 has a transmitter which is twice as powerful as the GM403, giving it a 20 percent greater range. The GM406 is primarily designed to equip fixed sites, with the GM403 designed to be deployable.

First post on forum

Enjoying this game but I feel some things need to be looked at in terms of load outs for aircraft

For Singapore:

Nothing in DB under Singapore is capable of firing GBU-10s, GBU-16s, GBU-31s, GBU-38s, or GBU-54s

Singapore has AIM-120C-7s but nothing uses them in game

Singapore also has AGM-154A/C JSOWs that it can't use because Singapore's aircraft in game don't have any load outs that use them

Missing non Blk 52+ F-16Ds for Singapore (they have 32 of them)

Nothing under Singapore can use Harpoons despite the fact Singapore uses them

F-5S/T in real life can fire AIM-120s but in game they cannot

Singaporean aircraft also cannot use AGM-65D/Gs in game (they can in real life)

For the F-35:

Currently missing Israeli F-35I which is supposed to have special Israeli electronics

F-35s are supposed to be capable of firing LRASMs, AGM-158B JASSM-ERs, AGM-88C/E HARM/AARGMs but they cannot in game

currently missing Joint Strike Missile from DB (Kongsberg missile that can fit inside F-35A/C internal bays (not the B model's bays though because its bays are too short, but can still fit them on wing pylons))

Also F-35Cs are supposedly going to be able to launch AGM-84K SLAMER ATAs

For the USA:

None of the F-16s are capable of firing Harpoons. In real life, blocks 20 through 52 could mount them

If adding all of this stuff is too much to ask I apologize, but it is a bunch of stuff that would make me (and I imagine a lot of others) very happy).

I would post links to all of this stuff, but for some reason the automation on this forum won't let me. (something like "you cannot post links until 7 days after 10th post")

[SuaveWatermelon]

Also i might add that F-35s can also use AGM-65s

[Blu3wolf]

For the USA:

None of the F-16s are capable of firing Harpoons. In real life, blocks 20 through 52 could mount them.

actually, they require a special adapter to be fitted which uses the maverick video interface to talk with the SMS computer. blocks 20 and onwards can be made capable of employing harpoons, but this is actually a fairly rare modification.

ORIGINAL: F-16.net
Only a limited number of F-16 customers use the Harpoon on their F-16s:

Chile: The FACh's block 52 aircraft have Harpoon capability, but no missiles have been ordered
Egypt: EAF Block 40 aircraft have Harpoon capability, no missile purchase yet
Greece: HAF F-16 Block 52 aircraft armed with AGM-84 Harpoons were test-flown at Edwards AFB
Israel: The IDF/AF is very likely to have Harpoon capability, but this is unconfirmed
Oman: The RAFO purchased 20 missiles for its F-16 Block 50 fleet
South Korea: The RoKAF Block 52 aircraft are Harpoon-capable, no confirmed missile purchase
Taiwan: The RoCAF purchased 54 missiles for its F-16 Block 20 aircraft
Turkey: The TUAF purchased 50 Harpoon missiles for their CCIP-upgraded F-16 Block 50 aircraft
United Arab Emirates: The UAEAF's block 60 aircraft are Harpoon capable, and 52 missiles were purchased at the time of the Block 60 deal

[Blu3wolf]

would be nice to add the Pilatus PC-21 trainer aircraft too, for the RSAF (Singapore)

[ventris]

Not sure if this was already posted in this thread but Japan is missing some planes:
C-130H
UH-60J
MH-53E
YS-11EB
RF-4E
F-15DJ
F-2B

I know some planes can be sourced from other countries, but would be nice if they could be get an entry for Japan in the database too.

[SuaveWatermelon]

Guess i should have read my source further... [&:]

Thanks for the correction
