Spooky timing in relation to the post above. The Block 1 Aster 30 NT is already in the database but it's unusable since the Sylver A50 mount is not compatible with it. I've been trying to equip Type 45 destroyers with it but it seems that there isn't a compatible mount so the missile is unusable at the moment. Can we add some Sylver mounts to the weapon please?

Could we get the USS Des Moines 1957 from CWDB put in here along with a "hypothetical" version with late 80s upgrades like this?

Des Moines class late 80's upgrade...4 x CIWS (white) 4 x Mk141 quad (yellow) 2x quad ABL tomahawk (red) Figure in new radars and ECM same as the Iowas etc... an Iowa "lite" if you will



Thanks!

S-400 batteries with 40N6 both Russian and Chinese are dated from 2017 and 2018 respectively and the missile itself from 2013, this appears too optimistic based on reports the testing has only just been completed.
Could I suggest an in service date of late 2019 appears more realistic?
This ties in with apparent issues with the production facilities.

Sensor DB ID 966: Long Track [P-40] mobile radar is a 3-D capable device but defined as only 2-D in v474 of DB3000. This sensor should be capable of returning altitude data which it currently does not. The description also says 2-D. Pictures show multiple feed-horns associated with 3-D operation.

Aircraft >> Russia #2510 An-22 Cock has in its description:

The GBU-44 originated out of the canceled 1990s BAT projectile, which was to have been an anti-tank guided cluster weapon. The BAT technology (and some actual prototype airframes) were converted into the Viper Strike missile, which is extremely useful in urban areas where collateral damage must be limited. Initially deployed by US Army MQ-5 Hunter UAV’s in 2003, it was also adopted by the USAF in late 2006 on AC-130 Spectre gunships and MQ-1 Predator UAVs.

The rest of it looks correct, just the description is off.

Is there a way to copy text when looking at the db viewer? I copied that from cmano-db.com.

I found this photograph on the USMC's website of an F-35B test flight. It looks like an external load of 4 GBU-12s. I figured you guys might want to add it to the "beast mode" configurations which would give the F-35B a whopping 8 GBU-12s. Man... the firepower is overwhelming...

[Gunner98]

Can we get some boat capacity added to USN LPH's? Acknowledge that they don't have a well deck but there are certainly enough photos of lifeboats hanging from davits. (the DB photo for #677 for instance)

I'm looking for a few RHIBs, ROVs and PEP-104s, particularly for LPH 10 Tripoli in her MCM support work.

I don't have data for the request but believe it is reasonable to assume she carried support RHIBs and spare ROVs for the MCM vessels.


Thanks

Request the following updates to the Type 055 (Renhai) DDG/CG:
- change VLS quantity to 112 (currently 128)
- update radar to type 364B (currently 364A)
- add HHQ-9B (200km range) and HQ-9C (active homing) to DB
- add WS-64 ASBM to DB and VLS loadout
- add Sino-ESSM as hypo weapon to VLS loadout
- change helo hangar size to 2 medium (currently small)

Sorry, can’t post reference links as I don’t have enough previous posts to be allowed to do it.

Thanks!

Please consider adding AS-17D (KH-31 AD/PD) to Su-34 loadout.

Thanks

As far as I know, South Korea A330 MRTT has a flying boom system. But CMANO's South korea MRTT has wing drogue refueling system. Because of this, All South Korea aircraft cannot be refuelled by MRTT.

I hope it gets fixed soon.

The F-35 only carries 2x bombs internally (except for SDBs that fit 8 internally on BRU-61s).

Lockheed recently published a bunch of papers through the AIAA on the F-35's development and they've handily included the following chart that lists the loadouts certified for Block 3F (also 2B previously):

Please Add KRI 521. Teluk Lada. IOC 2018-19

http://www.janes.com/article/81460/indo ... nding-ship
Good Datas

Indonesian shipbuilder PT Daya Radar Utama (DRU) launched a 117 m-long tank landing ship (LST) for the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) on 28 June at the company’s facilities in Bandar Lampung on the island of Sumatra.

Named KRI Teluk Lada (with pennant number 521), the LST entered the water in a ceremony presided over by Indonesian Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu, according to a statement issued by the TNI-AL that same day.

The platform, which is powered by two 3,285 kW engines, has a top speed of 16 kt, with a range of about 6,240 n miles at 13 kt.

The 16.4 m-wide vessel can carry up to 15 BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles and a 10-tonne helicopter on its flight deck, as Jane’s reported in November 2016. The BMP-3Fs are currently operated by the Indonesian Marine Corps.

The LST can be equipped with up to two 40 mm gun systems on the foredeck, and 12.7 mm machine guns at various locations throughout the vessel.

The shipyard had previously built a similar but slightly longer ship, KRI Teluk Bintuni , which is now in service with the TNI-AL as a carrier for the army’s Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks (MBTs).Indonesian shipbuilder PT Daya Radar Utama launched the 117 m-long LST KRI Teluk Lada on 28 June at the company’s facilities in Lampung.

- add HHQ-9B (200km range) and HQ-9C (active homing) to DB
- add WS-64 ASBM to DB and VLS loadout
- add Sino-ESSM as hypo weapon to VLS loadout
- change helo hangar size to 2 medium (currently small)

Some corrections:

- HQ-9B is there and has IR active homing, HQ-9C is still a rumor
- WS-64 is built for slant-launch, no sign of VLS capability
- The best I can think of ESSM hypothetical for China is quad-packed HQ-17 (Tor-copy, it's in database). The 850mm UVLS support shorter missiles too.
- Just clarify the larger hangars are for Z-20, not Z-18 because it's too big.

[Hongjian]

About the HQ-9B:
Recent US sources suggest that the HQ-9B deployed on those artificial island bases have around 200km range. Seems to be an improved variant. And from official posters of Zhuhai Airshow we also know that the seeker is actually active radar.

About the Type 055's hangar and the Z-18 size: The Z-18 actually isnt too big when folded. There have been some discussions going on at various chiense defense forums and it is actually agreed upon that size wise; the Ka-31/Ka-28 is the one requiring the largest hangar due to its non-foldable tail and height. If the hangar can take a Ka-31 (as the Type 052C already can), then housing a Z-18 wouldnt be a problem at all. Of course, weight is another question here.

A bunch of SDF members are exchanging insults over this graph:



The reverse-search on Google only have one article to be found, and it's just a week ago. The leaked document image shows the alleged Chinese-developed glider rounds can reach above 100km, with over 25km of max altitude, while it will start gliding at 15km altitude. Such trajectory is very identical to the Italian VULCANO.



This is VULCANO 127mm by comparison. The Chinese one have some substantially bigger wings and canards, but lacks of fletching, and presumed to be attached with rocket booster instead.

http://news.ifeng.com/a/20180714/59173189_0.shtml (Simplified Chinese)

Translation:

"China has developed the 130mm glider ammunition with 100km range. It has canards for steering, glider wings and rocket stage to achieve extra range, they will be deployed once it reached to the highest altitude. If wings aren't deployed, it can only reach 70km compare to 100km. It also has multiple methods of guidance, such as laser guiding, or GPS/INS guidance at terminal stage. Multiple variant of warheads can also be installed, including HE-Frag, HEDP, DPICM, Thermobaric and more."

The response is mainly skeptical, but at the same time reasonable because China is building large amount of 052D and 055 destroyer, PLAN also has severe shortcoming of land-attack roles especially the lacks of information to VLS cruise missiles. The new addition of Sino-VULCANO can be an expensive but practical interm for some amphibious military operations.

My guesstimate of this round would be only HE variant only, specially for long range artillery strike instead of anti-ship or anti-air. The GPS(Beidou)/INS guidance is more likely applied than laser guidance since Chinese doesn't have Spec-Ops insertion or aerial deep strike capabilities to deploy forward-operated laser designation yet. The rest of vague information are too ambitious for my taste. The new round will also be ready alongside with 055's commission, which is probably at 2020 or even earlier.
