Added all requests up until this point. Thanks guys!

Gents,

Could you add the following sensor?

AAQ-29 FLIR - It is mounted on the USAF HH-60G and USMC CH-53E. It will also be mounted on the CH-53K when it enters service. The AAQ-29 has the same specs as the Osprey's AAQ-27, just an additional FOV. Here are specs for both.

AN/AAQ-27A
In production for USMC MV-22 Osprey tiltrotors, the AAQ-27 is a MWIR system that has much in common with the AAQ-16B. IR camera: 3-5 micron, InSb, 480x640 pixel, staring-array detector with two FOV, 30x40° and 5x6.7°. System weight: less than 90lb, turret weight 50lb. Turret dimensions: 14.19(H)x11.95(D)in. Options: electronic zoom, dual-mode tracker.
AN/AAQ-29A
In production for USMC CH-53E and USAF HH-60G, the AAQ-29A is similar to the AN/AAQ-27A, except it incorporates an additional (third) FOV (1.3x1.73°). It is a MWIR system. IR camera: 3-5 micron, InSb, 480x640 pixel, staring-array detector with two FOV, 30x40° and 5x6.7°. System weight: less than 90lb. Turret weight: 50lb. Turret dimensions: 14.19(H)x11.95(D)in. Options: electronic zoom, dual-mode tracker.

USS Zumwalt

Surely the 105mm gun could engage ships also, not just land facilities.

[johntgraves]

Suggested b-1 variants.

B-1a to test out how it would do against soviet ad
B-1R proposed AMRAAM carrier

[DeSade]

1. Chinese #2691 - 130mm China H/PJ-38 (052D destroyer) is dual-purpose gun and should be able also to target air targets/missiles.

2. #2487 - Y-8W Cub [High New 5, KJ-200 Balance Beam] - radar should be clone of Saabs Erieye, and like original don't have full 360 degree coverage, rather 150 degrees on each side with blind spots at forward and rear 30 degrees. Same for sensor #544 - PS-890 Erieye

[severe7]

1.) Applies to 290, 282, 283, 2022, 281, 2021, 368, 1455, 20 (all RB 15)
These missiles fly really high for sea skimming ones, and since the book "World naval weapon systems" by Norman Friedman states that it flies as low as 2 meters i think they should have their flight profile lowered to the same height as most other AShM (9,14 m). I'm not 100% sure this applies to the first version, but the MK 2 and MK 3 certainly should fly lower since most sources call them sea skimming.

2.) The VA-111 (DB entry #1138) can't be added to any submarine or ship see: Link.

[Vici Supreme]

#2567 Gepard-class Project 1166.1E lacks a helo deck and open parking space for medium-sized helicopters.

[blh42]

Given the last few days of submarine action in Sweden, we need to add at least one Russian mini submarine Baloogan and I have dug up. Stats and picture can be found in this forum post:

[UPDATED DB v440]

Oh boy, took me some effort and a lot more time... [:D]

In addition to my previous post, it looks like designation and data of both Russian Gepard-class ships have been mixed together into one class but both ships do differ from another. I suggest overworking #584 SKR Gepard [Pr.1166.1K] in the database. Here's a quick summary of changes:

- Redesignate existing platform to SKR Gepard [Pr.1166.1] (Tatarstan was classified as Project 1166.1K until 2003 when Project 1166.1K was reclassified for the future VLS-equipped Dagestan)

- Add MR-212 Vaygach Navigation Radar

- Change dimensions to 102,2m in lenght, 13,76m in beam and draft 3,7m

- Remove Palma CIWS and replace it with an aft-mounted Zif-122 Twin Rail Launcher firing Osa-MA2 missiles (20 9M33 missiles total)

- Remove AK-230

- I read something about an MG-757 Anapa-M sonar was added during modernizations but couldn't find further sources to prove this


In addition it would make sence to add SKR Gepard [Pr.1166.1K] to the game because it inherits most of Project 1166.1 data. I don't know how much work it takes but I'm sure it takes some effort to collect all the informations for a platform. Given the idea you use the current Gepard-class (without the above mentioned changes) as a basis for a new database entry, you will have to edit following things:


- Add MR-212 Vaygach Navigation Radar

- Air/Surface Search Radar MR-352 Positiv has been replaced with MR-352 Positiv-M1

- Add two 14,5 mm HMGs covering engagment arcs from 30°-150° and 210°-330° (Dagestan only)

- Change dimensions to 102,1m in length, 13,2m in beam and 3,5m in draft

- Remove both KT-184 Quad Launchers and replace them with 8x UKSK VLS (SS-N-27 Slizzer VLS in database) capable of firing missiles of the Klub-N familiy

- Remove AK-630M and AK-230

- Remove RBU-6000 [Smerch-2]

- Dagestans superstructures are slightly different from those of Tatarstan, possibly decreasing its radar cross section

- Aft-mounted CIWS is sometimes claimed to be Palash gun system instead of Palma?


Please take some time and look through this!

Keep it up!

Palash=Palma without missiles(9М337)

as Sosna-RA(9М337) did not complete the tests now all palma=palash
after Sosna-RA finish the tests missile will be installed on Palash
and palash turn into palma

Thanks Triode!
If I reacall right both Palash and Palmaare equipped with octuple missile arms in the DB. Anyways In this case Palash is the weapon system aboard Dagestan (Check imagines)

Thanks Updated.

#2333 - T-AFS 8 Sirius [ex-British Lyness Class] -- United States (Navy), 1981-0

This vessel has a munitions magazine in the database. But no capability for unnrep. At least according to the database. Not sure if that is accurate or not.

[tservello92]

Here is my latest in the MH-60 series...the worn out USAF HH-60G...prominently featured in the National Geographic series "Inside Combat Rescue".

Please add a separate DB entry (from 1991 onwards) for the HH-60G Pave Hawk. All H-60s in AFSOC were passed to ACC in 1991. Now all HH-60Gs are operated by ACC Rescue Squadrons. You can use entry #242 MH-60G Pave Hawk as baseline and modify for new entry as follow.

1. Change to USAF vice US Army and change name to HH-60G Pave Hawk
2. Add AAQ-29 FLIR
3. Add weather mode to APN-239 radar. Is there any place where all the radar modes used (or modeled) in the game are listed? I don't want to keep posting mods that don't matter (or aren't modeled), but I have seen weather mapping in other entries, so I include it here.
4. Add 2 x GAU-21 mounts in place of 12.7mm mounts listed on #242
5. As for load outs...the HH-60Gs see more time carrying PJs, casualties, humanitarian cargo and displaced persons than anything else. Suggest removing the load outs for combat troops and add load out of - PJs, 3x
6. Add 194 USG auxiliary fuel tank (internal). See robbietanks for sourcing.
7. Add ALE-47
8. Add ALQ-202 radio frequency jammer. 2-3,10-20GHz Autonomous Jammer; manufactured by Lockheed Martin (Loral)
9. Defer to moderators if a SECOND DB entry is warranted from 2001 onwards...at that point the HH-60G was upgraded with the APR-39(V)2

[tservello92]

Gents,

As an update to my 10/18/2014 2:51:48 PM post on helicopter armament subsystems. I recommended that ONE entry be made for all .50 cal weapons...it would look like this - GAU15/16/21. I unfortunately forgot the good ole GAU-18...since supplanted by the GAU-21 in service. If this change is made, could we name it this - GAU-15/16/18/21.

Thanks!

Project 885 Severodvinsk(order 160) passed trial with UGST torpedo (Fizik-1)
in databese Severodvinsk has USET-80K torpedo
Could this be corrected?

[schroedi]

Some aircraft speed should be changed.
-F-5 Tiger II is to fast, 950kt or Mach 1.66 is about it's maximum speed clean. With weapons it should be less.

-The Su-17/22 M4 shouldn't go 950kt, too. Their maximum speed is about 970kt clean, so 950 with weapons is unrealistic.

-F-35 is way to fast. In reality it's maximum speed is about the 950kt it does in game but loaded with fuel and (internal) weapons I don't think it reaches the maximum Mach 1.66, especially with external weapons. The fact that in game it does the 950kt in military without afterburner is totally unrealistic. In different sources the F-35 is described to supercruise with Mach 1.2 for 10-15 minutes or about 150 miles without external weapons but never with Mach 1.6. With external payload the bird isn't capable to supercruise at all.

[mikmykWS]

Updated work list to latest posts. Thanks all!

[tservello92]

Can we add the following aircraft to the commercial section?

1. Boeing 777-200LR
2. Boeing 777-300ER

The wikipedia site for the 777 has all the specs for each 777 model. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777)
