Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues

[User2]

In the game USET-80 and USET-80K have the same PoH.
IRL USET-80 has "Vodopad" seeker (similar seeker is used at UMGT-1 light weight torpedo), while USET-80K has "Keramika" seeker (as well as TEST-71MK, SET-65K and other "K" variants). Keramika was the most advanced soviet era torpedo seeker, thus it should has higher PoH. I could not find much info about USET-80KM, most likely it has the same Keramika seeker as USET-80K.

In the game USET-80KM is labeled as non-operational. However it contradicts official documents that can be found online.

Requesting MiG-31M.

Was to be equipped with uprated Soloviev D-30F6M engines, along with multimode phased-array radar. Gun was to be removed, two additional fuselage hardpoints added.

Happy holidays. Added anything with good info etc. to the master list from my last post. Rag has done some updates here and there as well.

Thanks!

To give more details, an tested air-launched Hit-To-Kill vehicle is the NCADE.

Attached is a link to a description of the missile: http://missiledefenseadvocacy.org/missi ... ent-ncade/

Based on the article: Corbett, M., and Zarchan, P., “The Role of Air Power in Active Missile Defense,” U.S. Air and Space Power Journal, Vol. 24, No. 2, 2010, pp. 57–71

The NCADE has about a 150km range against an ICBM, depending upon geometry. I think 150 is most favorable.

Lastly, the article states that the aircraft will need an IRST style sensor to assist targeting.

1. The Thailand Friagate, DW-3000F is missing from database.
2. The United States database says the US retired the EP-3E Aries, but on the US Navy Website it states they have 16 Left in service

MQ-8C sensor request

Osprey 30 AESA radar
Link 16 datalink

Osprey provides a genuine multi-domain capability, with high performance sea surveillance, notably against ‘di cult targets’, land surveillance with wide swath, very high resolution ground mapping, small and low speed ground target indication, high performance air-to-air surveillance, tracking and intercept

Radar is repotedly air and surface search

Guys

I wondered if I could request a loadout for a Scenario am working on, I have a scenario that requires C47s to drop a mix of air cargo and troops.
I notice that the DB3000 database has a Dakota in it but it lacks the load out to allow para drops. I seldom bother with the country the aircraft comes from, in my case its Guatemalan C47s am thinking of, but if you guys could update any Dak load outs in the DB3000 that would be great.

You guys I know like to have sources , the first source is the book
Rhodesian Light Infantryman 1961–80 by Neil Grant

This shows that Daks were used in a para role into the 1980s.

History of war cites the standard para load of 28 paratroopers, or upto 10000lb of cargo that could be airdropped.

http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/we ... akota.html

It also cites that in the 1990s still a third of air arms used the Dakota

http://www.dc-3.co.za/dc-3-in-africa/rh ... force.html

explains the Dak in service with the Rhodesian Air Forces and subsequently the Zimbabwean Air Force formed in 1980.

If I can be of any further help then please let me know.

Kind Regards
Butch

Requesting the EC-135 to be added to the DBs:

- EC-135(A/B/C/D/E/G/H/J/K/L/P/Y) [Both CWDB and DB3000] - Airborne launch command center. Only loadout is "Airborne Strategic Command Post"

[VIF2NE]

B-1B

The AN/ALQ-153 Missile Warning System is a solid-state pulse Doppler radar used to detect missile threats. This Northrop-Grumman Electronic Sensors and Systems Division [Westinghouse] tail warning radar is carried on the B-1B and the B-52H heavy bombers. Aircraft equipped with this self-protection system were able to penetrate high-density Iraqi radar defenses to attack military targets during the Gulf War.

Request that PL-15 loadouts be added to J-16. thanks for considereing

I’m working on a Spratly scenario and trying to model the new China military installations.


Is it possible to add these units:

Hardened missile shelter (i.e. TEL such as HQ-9)
-66 feet long and 33 feet wide
-armor
https://amti.csis.org/chinas-sam-shelters-spratlys/


Hardened point defense bunker (i.e. H/PJ-14 and H/PJ-26)
-approximately 30 feet wide
-armor
https://amti.csis.org/chinas-new

Mounts and sensors could be included or added by user in editor.

I know there is a work around by modifying existing units. However having dedicated units would be much better.

I was digging around the Chinese internet in search for informations on the KJ-2000 AWAC's Type 88 3-face AESA, and it turned out that it operated in L-Band (1200 - 1400MHz). Which seems to be old information already, dating as far back as 2011:

https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A9%BA%E8%AD%A6-2000
https://www.aviationsmilitaires.net/v2/ ... /5173.html
https://www.globalsecurity.org/military ... j-2000.htm

I'm not sure which radar frequency the Type 88 uses in the database, but it might be worth it to change it to that band, barring any new and updated information that contradicts them.

Speaking of KJ-2000, I made a quick scenario of E-3G vs KJ-2000, both can be searched as predicted, but only E-3G can ID KJ-2000 in instant, while KJ-2000 gone totally oblivious about its aircraft signature -- it has to be flew at eyeball range to ID E-3G.

Tested with KJ-500, it can instantly ID E-3G once searched, both 500 and 2000 are using Type 88 radar. I can safely say the KJ-2000 ID issue need to be fixed.

[Hongjian]

Well, in the absence of data detailing the improvements made for the Type 88 and or newer AESAs developed by the 14th Institute for those new AWACS, it is hard to "improve" them, aside of maybe setting their tech-level to "late 2000s" instead of "early 2000s". But what can be changed is the operating frequency, as most information I found point to the direction that the Type 88 is in fact an L-band AESA.

I've made another mistake in my submissions, this time regarding the variants of the G.91 used by the Portuguese and Italian Air Forces. As before, I've edited the original post, but I'll post the changes here too.

- Missing loadouts:
--- 4 x AIM-9B

--- 4 x LAU-32/A (7 x FFAR Mk.40 each)

[TheOttoman]

Is there a format in which database requests should be submitted (or would it be helpful to create a format), or do we just post links or requests with a "please add this", and leave it to the devs to work out the actual data?

Also, is there anywhere a list of gaps in the database where information needs to be sourced?

[Bashkire]

More to the point: where is the database to see what's being worked on? The link in the first post doesn't work.

Request that the Super Hornets get an option for some updated loadouts, based on some searching I've done around the web.

4x LRASM loadout


2x LRASM, 2x HARM/AARGM of some sort (wonder if this could be 4x and 2x, with a centerline tank. Short Range loadout)


4x JSM

I started looking into this one but the 4x LRASM loadout hasn't actually flown? Anyone got details?

The 4x Harpoon loadout was cleared recently and is already in the database.

The 4x Harpoon loadout was cleared recently and is already in the database.

It hasn't been fielded yet, and it's still testing at Pax River.

"A long gap in U.S. activity is ending with plans to field a limited quantity of Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (Lrasm) versions of Lockheed Martin’s Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (Jassm) on B-1Bs in 2018 and F/A-18E/Fs in 2019. The Navy plans a competition in 2017 for its Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) requirement. This will pit a surface-launched Lrasm against the Tomahawk from Raytheon, which will also pitch Kongsberg’s JSM for air-launched needs."

http://aviationweek.com/defense/arming- ... les-market

So the Air Force gets it this year, and the navy gets it next year

[ComDev]

Thanks [8D] Think we should wait then, since 4x LRASMs may not actually be an operational loadout?


Anyone got photos of F-35s carrying (twin) AMRAAM rails externally?
