Dear developers,
How about adding the abandoned CGN(X) cruiser to the U.S. Navy as a hypothetical unit? All the specifications remain the same as the CG 21, except the followed:
Damage points: 2500
Standard displacement: 22300 tons
Full displacement: 25464 tons
Propulsion: 1*A1B Nuclear Reactor

I see one problem with this right off. Propulsion and electric power was to be provided by 2x S6W (Seawolf) reactor plants. There is absolutely no way an A1B plant would fit in that hull. Weapons and sensors would be complete speculation. I guess that's two problems, as much fun as it would be

[SeaQueen]

Ohio Class SSGN

The submarine as currently implemented lacks the capability to carry special operations forces (e.g. Navy SEALS, USMC MARSOC) as cargo. The platform has space for up to 66 SOF personel.

It is written on Wikipedia that there were two options to choose from,“using two of the Seawolf-class submarines' 34 MW S6W reactors, and halving one of the two 550 MW(th) A4W reactors used in Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. The first option would not even match Zumwalt for power, while the second option probably would not fit into the Zumwalt hull”. So probably its propulsion would also be a hypothetical unit, for example C2W, C1G, C1B etc.
As for the weapons and sensors, they developers have already made some quite good speculations on the CG 21, for instance the AN/SPY-3&4 Dual Band Radar and the Mk57 PVLS. The missiles in the PVLSs could be SM-3, SM-6, VL-ASROC, or anything that is loaded in today’s Arleigh Burke class destroyers and Ticonderoga class cruisers.

I’m a nuclear engineer and I worked on the preliminary design for the reactor plant and propulsion plant of CGN(X). The preliminary design WAS for 2 Seawolf reactors. The 34 MW power rating you quote is wildly incorrect. That's not the power rating of the reactor. That's the shaft horsepower converted to MW. The 550MW you list for A4W IS the reactor power rating. Different kettle of fish. Unfortunately I can't reveal the actual rating. (It's bigger). There's no "probably" about fitting an A4W plant. It didn't fit. Not even close and it wasn't ever seriously considered.

There was also no option for development of a new reactor. That would have taken many years of up front work that would have had to have been started long before the ship design and the cost would have been prohibitive for what the Navy wanted for CGN(x). That's why the Seawolf reactor was chosen. Already a proven design and there had been plans to build 20 Seawolfs before the Soviet Union collapsed and the class was cancelled at 3.

Thanks for your informative reply and for clearing up my misunderstanding regarding the reactors.

No problem. In general you won't find accurate numbers for US submarine reactor plant power ratings anywhere. Any that you do find should be taken as estimates. Whoever wrote that Wikipedia article didn't have a good understanding of what the numbers were.

[Hongjian]

The 2nd Type 927 SURTASS ship has been launched
On occasion of the serial production of this class of ASW ships, I would like to lobby the devs for the addition of this ship.
The equipment would be comparable to that of the USNS Impeccable, which serves a similar purpose.

I've got a couple minor database fixes for Canada.

1. ADATS
1.a. Because it's "Air Defense Anti Tank System", it can hit ground targets, too. Can you add land structures and mobile vehicles to its valid targets?
1.b. The warhead is a combined fragmentation and shaped charge warhead; can this be modeled in the database? With the damage models, this should make it more lethal to ground and air targets than just a frag warhead.


2. CRV7 70 mm Rocket
2.a. Can you change the CSAR loadout for the CH-146 Griffon from Hydra-70 rockets to the domestically-produced CRV7?
2.b. It uses the exact same M151 ten-pound warhead as the Hydra-70. Can you synchronize its damage values with the Hydra?
2.c. If Wikipedia and the manufacturer's brochures are to be believed, supposedly it has better accuracy and kinematic performance to the Hydra-70. Would it be worth it to reflect that in the database?
2.d. Can you add the CRV7-PG, a laser-seeking variant pretty much the same as the database-extant HYDRA APKWS II? I don't know how to find deployment information, but I figure they're available for platforms that are: 1) Have a post-2007 variant, 2) Already carry the CRV7, and 3) Carry a laser designator or laser designator pod. This limits them to only a handful of platforms.
I'm not allowed to post links, but the Wikipedia page has links to the manufacturer's brochures in pdf form.

CWDB B998.7

Beginning with #1624 - CA 124 Rochester all the way through #59 CAG 2 Canberra, all have incorrect aircraft facilities. All are US cruisers that have aircraft carrier arresting wires, catapults, and/or 24 aircraft capacity.

This should be posted in the CWDB requests thread.

[ExNusquam]

Request to add OECM capability to all F/A-18 variants equipped with the AN/APG-79. This is consistent with the F-35 AESA implementation.

Source: 2008 Powerpoint from VX-31 on AN/APG-79 testing explicitly call out electronic attack as features.

Slide 12 and 13 - List Electronic Attack as both an A/A and A/G feature.
Slide 39 - Shows bandwidth of various aircraft features, explicitly calling out Electronic Attack/Support bandwidth on the radar. Numbers and threats appear to be removed for classification, but EA bandwidth is larger than the radar bandwidth.
Slide 44 - Shows aircraft avionic controls for Electronic Attack option and method selection.

While I suspect that all AESAs likely have similar functions, I can't find any documentation for APG-77/-82 (or Russian radars).

[Sardaukar]

Please add SAM Section FIM-92E: Stinger – RMP Block I to Finland. It has replaced Iglas totally already years ago and Iglas were phased out.

So a few days ago I posted a thread on Chinese nuclear forces, and emsoy asked the participants to leave a list of Chinese nuclear capable aircraft. I have decided to post it here however because it is more fitting to the section. Furthermore, I have decided to post speculatory/missing Chinese nuclear capable ballistic missile requests as well.

Aircraft-

Nanchang Q-5Jia -- China (Air Force), 1970, Few built

Armed with a choice of either 20kt, 15kt, or 8kt tactical nuclear weapons, presumably still capable of carrying the conventional munitions of the standard Q-5. It uses the loft bombing technique exclusively in delivery of nuclear weapons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanchang_Q-5
https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/china/q-5.htm
Page 102 of this- https://fas.org/nuke/guide/china/Book2006.pdf

H-6E Badger -- China (Air Force), 1980, Nuclear bomber

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xian_H-6#Variants

Note- the current H-6E could be renamed H-6E -- China (Air Force), 2001-, PLAAF, Conventional bomber

Hypothetical/theoretical platforms, only speculated by various intelligence agencies-

H-5A Beagle -- China (Air Force), Nuclear bomber

This would carry either a 20kt, 15kt, or 8kt nuclear weapon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_ ... e_variants
Page 102 of this- https://fas.org/nuke/guide/china/Book2006.pdf

Su-30MKK Flanker G -- China (Air Force), 2002, Nuclear capable
Su-30MKK Flanker G -- China (Air Force), 2018, Nuclear capable

This would also presumably carry the same tactical bombs as before- 20kt, 15kt, and 8kt- but hypothetically with modifications to reduce drag.

Page 102 of this merely suggests the idea, but still an interesting platform- https://fas.org/nuke/guide/china/Book2006.pdf

JH-7A Flounder -- China (Air Force), 2008, PLAAF, nuclear capable
JH-7A Flounder -- China (Air Force), 2018, PLAAF, nuclear capable

This would also have the 20kt, 15kt, and 8kt weapons as loadouts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_and ... mber_Group

H-6K Badger [God of War] -- China (Air Force), 2011, PLAAF, 6x KD-20/CJ-10A ALCM, New Production, Nuclear

This is based on the speculation that the CJ-10 is nuclear capable. Loadouts are as follows-

FAB-250M-54 GPB (Strike, Land/Naval) - 36x FAB-250M-54 GPB

KD-20 [CJ-10A] (Standoff Strike, Land) - 6x KD-20 [CJ-10A] ALCM

KD-63 [YJ-63] (Standoff Strike, Land/Naval) - 4 x KD-63 [YJ-63]

KD-20 [CJ-10A, 50kt] (Standoff Strike, Land) - 6x KD-20 [CJ-10A, 50kt] ALCM

KD-20 [CJ-10A, 50kt] (Standoff Strike, Land) - 6x KD-20 [CJ-10A, 200kt] ALCM

Missiles-

Note- these are all based on speculation revolving around tactical nuclear weapons development, and should all be marked as hypothetical.
