The PSBN-M was the first radar bombing device of the centimeter range for the Il-28 front bomber. It was developed in accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR in the period 1946-1948.
To solve the bombing tasks, the sight of PSBN-M was coupled with an optical sight OPB-6sr. Such a connection made it possible to perform aiming and bombing both with the sight of OPB-6sp - with optical visibility and on the screen of the PSBN-M sight-seeing indicator - regardless of the conditions of optical visibility. At the same time, the connection scheme of the two bombs was used.
In accordance with tactical and technical requirements, the maximum range of detection and identification (at a radiation power of 60-70 kW) of large industrial centers and cities was 70-100 km, and large ships - 40-50 km. Bombing was provided at altitudes of 900-13000m with a range of velocities for bombing 300-900 km / h. The accuracy of determining the flight altitude is ± 100 m.
The PSBN-M bomb with a narrow directional pattern (2 °) in the horizontal plane and broad in the vertical plane could conduct a circular view of the azimuth or sectoral within 60-300 ° through 60 ° in any direction.
In the sight of PSBN-M, it was planned to work together with a ground-based radar beacon.

ПСБН-М был первым радиолокационным бомбоприцелом сантиметрового диапазона для фронтового бомбардировщика Ил-28. Он разработан согласно постановлению Совета Министров СССР в период 1946 – 1948 гг.
Для решения задач бомбометания прицел ПСБН-М был сопряжен с оптическим прицелом ОПБ-6ср. Такая связь позволяла выполнять прицеливание и бомбометание как с помощью прицела ОПБ-6ср – при оптической видимости, так и по экрану индикатора кругового обзора прицела ПСБН-М – независимо от условий оптической видимости. При этом использовалась схема связи двух бомбоприцелов.
В соответствии с тактико-техническими требованиями максимальная дальность обнаружения и опознавания (при мощности излучения 60–70 кВт) крупных промышленных центров и городов составляла 70–100 км, а больших кораблей – 40–50 км. Бомбометание обеспечивалось на высотах 900–13000м при диапазоне скоростей при бомбометании 300–900 км/ч. Точность определения высоты полета ±100 м.
Бомбоприцел ПСБН-М с узкой диаграммой направленности (2°) в горизонтальной плоскости и широкой в вертикальной плоскости мог вести круговой обзор по азимуту или секторный в пределах 60–300° через 60° в любом направлении.
В прицеле ПСБН-М была предусмотрена его совместная работа с наземным радиолокационным маяком.

What about USN ASW and AEW-Blimps?

Would be glad to see them sometime.

[Suintila]

Could you please update F-86F Sabres in CW database?

-Mount was 1x12.7mm/50 M3 x 6 instead of 2x20mm Mk12 x 2.

-AN/APG-30 range was 3000 yards (not 20nm!). It is a ranging radar.

In the CW database the characteristics of MiG-15 and MiG-17 engines are exchanged, with the result that MiG-15 are overpowered and MiG-17 underpowered. The correct data are:

*MiG-15bis, MiG-15UTI, CS-102, LIM-1, LIM-3, S-102*
Klimov VK-1 engine
Maximun thrust 26.5kN
NO afterburner

Maximun speed at 3000m: 688mph
Rate of climb: 51.2 m/s
Thrust/weight: 0.54


*MiG-17F, MiG-17PF, MiG-17PM/PFU, FT-5, J-5A, LIM-5, S-105*
Klimov VK-1F engine
Military static thrust 26.5kN
Afterburner thrust 33.1kN

Maximun speed at 3000m: 712mph
Rate of climb: 65 m/s
Thrust/weight: 0.63


If you could amend this would be great. These aircraft were the backbone in many airforces since 1949.



Thanks

I'm not sure if this is an error in the database or not but I discovered that the B-52D (1975-1982) in mission 7 "The Mighty O" in Northern Inferno, doesn't have a nose mounted radar, only a tail mounted radar for the tail gun.

[SlabSheetrock]

So, if these requests are possible via modding, please ignore me.

I'd like to see some more of the Soviet carrier projects, here we go.

Project 69AV- Build off of Kronstadt BC hull. Angled flight deck, 32000 tons, 260m long. Around 50 aircraft carried.

Project Kostromitinov- 50000 ton carrier design, up to 300m long. Probably should be given angled flight deck. 70 aircraft carried.

Project 85- Designed to counter American Essex-class. 28-35000 tons, 260m long. Angled flight deck, 40-50 aircraft carried.



MiG-23K- Carrier-based MiG-23ML.

MiG-17/MiG-19K- hypothetical carrier based variants.

[StuartG]

The Sturgeon, Permit and Narwhal class seem to be using BQQ-5 sonar from the start, but it seems they only got these in the later 1970s. The earlier ones would seem to have been fitted with BQQ-2 If I remember rightly.

There is also discussion on some links of the Sturgeon being fitted with 'Raytheon Harmonic Power Conditioners'. Ive no idea what this is, but it seemed to make the electrical bus quieter, so it might make sense to have a noiser 637 class for submarines earlier than the puffer.

Keep up the great work on whats a most excellent sim.

HUZZAH! I can finally post in the right thread. I'd like to celebrate by posting what I hope is the last installment of my Nike facilities requests:

The United States activated the first Nike Ajax battery in 1955. The last Ajax battery was shutdown in 1964. It had been superseded by the more powerful Nike Hercules, which became operational in 1958. Because the new missile had three times the range of its predecessor, fewer batteries were needed to cover the defended areas. During the 6 years that the two missiles were in service concurrently, those Nike Ajax batteries that were not closed were converted to fire Nike Hercules.

In several cases during the conversion period, batteries hosted both Ajax and Hercules missiles. While an individual magazine never had both missiles simultaneously, every site hosted multiple magazines and some mags continued to operate Ajax while others were converted to Hercules (Note that since equipment was replaced to accommodate the heavier missiles, some 4-launcher Ajax complexes became 3-launcher Hercules complexes. Whether it became a 3 or 4-launcher complex depended on the specific magazine type – types which you may be relieved to know that I omitted from the details of my already-too-long bloviations). When Nike Ajax was finally retired, their magazines were either converted or closed. For example, a 12-launcher Ajax site could eventually become a 10, 11 or 12-launcher Hercules site if all magazines were kept, or a 7 or 8 launcher site if one were closed.

For “double sites” (sites with two IFCs), in many cases one of the IFCs was shutdown along with half of the magazines, to make a double Ajax site into a single Hercules site. During the transition, one of the IFCs received the Basic Nike Hercules radars while the other continued to operate the Nike Ajax radars.

Because the introduction of Improved Nike Hercules started as Nike Ajax was being retired, no mixed sites had the Improved Nike Hercules radars (i.e. HIPAR/ABAR & TTR/TRR Pairs).

The Missile Tracking Radar that served as the datalink for Basic Nike Hercules could also guide Nike Ajax. In my two previous Nike posts, I recommended making one datalink for each missile (the only difference being the range of the link). Now that I think of it, you may want to just make one datalink that’s compatible with both. Whatever works.

At any rate, here (using mounts and their weapons records from my previous posts) are some of the mixed Nike batteries that might have been found in the 1958-63 time-frame:

Hi Paul

Could you please add a AGM-48 Skybolt weapon record (2xAGM-48 Skybolt). This record would fit both the proposed Vulcan and B-52 loadouts.
The weapon is in the DB but I can´t play with it.[:)]

There are a couple issues of consistency with the Polaris missiles and their RVs: UGM-27A Polaris A1 SLBM is listed as [3 MRV x W58 200kT Nuclear], but instead it separates into 3 W47 Y1 (600 kt); the Polaris A2 is shown as having the same 3 W58 MRVs, but instead it separates into 3 W47 Y2 (1.2 mT). It should either be 1 W47 per missile, or 3 W58. The A3 entry is consistent with its RVs.

Any chance of

TBM-3W (1945) version, with the 1945 AN/APS-20?
Various Japanese Kamikazes
1945 Radar Picket Submarine?

If you give me some time, I can get what data I have on the 1945 APS-20 and 1945 Radar Pickets.
