Fix
DBID #1575 SSM-1B [Type90] Ship tp ship missile has ARH terminal guidance as SSM-1 do. NOT IIR guidance. There is no reference supporting IIR guidance of SSM-1B.

DBID #1192 ASM-1C[Type91] Air to ship missle
weight 610kg→510kg
[NEW] REQUEST CHANGING of ASM-1C FUEL to TurboJet, ASM-1C doesn't have Rocket fuel.

ASM-1C is improved by
ASM-1(type80/AirForce)→SSM-1(Type88/Army)→SSM-1B(Type90/Navy)＝ASM-1C(Type91/Navy)→ASM-2(Type93/Airforce)
ASM-1C has Turbojet Engine as SSM-1B has. So ASM-1C has 100nm firing range as　SSM-1B has.
I checked Japanse Reference of book of Technical Research and Development Institute(TDRI). And there is statement, ASM-1C can fire from farther range than Harpoon.
ALL ENGLISH SOURCES I FOUND WAS WRONG.(Weapons.net's info is not right.) Wikipedia was right.

About the NewSSM, SSM-2 [Type17], I'm gathering information still. But as you can see, it is improved, ship-borne version of Type-12.

[KC45]

For Easier understanding, I tranlated the picture.

You can see
ASM-1(Type 80) [origine]

SSM-1(Type88) [+Turbo Jet]
FROM HERE,the improvements of Japanese ASM separetaed to JASDF/JGSDF+JMSDF.

[JGSDF/JMSDF]
SSM-1B(Type90) [+Turbo Jet,Ship borne]
ASM-1C(type93) [+Turbo Jet,Air borne] So ASM-1C has same range as SSM-1B. Just like relation between RGM-84D and AGM-84D Harpoon. Also It should has 200kg HE(200DP) as SSM-1B has.

Type12 [+Turbo Jet,coastle, +Vertical Launch, +GPS]

[JASDF]
ASM-2 (Type93) [+Turbo Jet Engine, Airborne, IIR seeker]

ASM-2B (Type93B) [+Turbo Jet Engine, Airborne, IIR seeker, +GPS]

The Original picture is from JSDF.

DBID#2442 DDH-183 Izumo-class

Radars
improved J/OPS-28D to J/OPS-28F. Developed around late 2000.
J/OPS-20E. Developed around Early 2000. Surface search, Navugation radar. previous OPS-20C is mounted on Akuzuki and Hyuga-class.


Also Izumo-class has J/QQQ-23 LF sonar, which reduced specs variant of Hyuga's J/QQQ-21. I request reducing sonar range to around 20nm, Izumo-class sonar is just for detecting incoming torpedoes from submarines.

[Important] Izumo-class doens't have HOS-303 324mm torpedo tubes. Remove it please.
(No reference is a reference)

[Important] QLQ-1 MOD and QLQ-1 FAJ counter torpedo system has to be added. (I already request this few times, for Izumo, Akizuki, and Asahi-class)

About an AAM-4B Type-99 Air to Air missiles.
AAM-4B'S JARG-1's recever has two channel. That's because AAM-4's Datalink can hands off to wingman Fighter to the F-15J or F-2 can going defensitive.

なお、中間誘導は僚機に引き継がせることも可能である。

Means "In addtion, It is also possible to let the wingman take over the intermediate guidance".

http://eaglet.skr.jp/MILITARY/AAM-4.html

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/99%E5%BC% ... E%E5%BC%BE (the info is also on Japanese wiki)

I should say, this is the Limited CEC-capability. AAM-4B can hands off the control to AAM-4 users (F-15J MSIP and F-2). In another words, the plane has J/ARG-1/2 can take over the control of AAM-4Bs when lanched unit destroyed or cannot send the update information.

JMSDF P-1 has Link16 TADIL-J.
http://www.mod.go.jp/j/approach/others/ ... t/0041.pdf (Last page)

[KC45]

Submarine with AIP, the speed of ONLY AIP is not that fast as it is in CMANO.

AIP engines are usually 5~6knots per hour, That's why JMSDF got new Soryu-class ship with lithium battery instead of AIP and Lead battery.

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-b ... lete-18908
https://defencyclopedia.com/2016/07/06/ ... aip-works/

Still silent but but fast.

The list of Subs with AIP is here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-indep ... propulsion

[ARCNA442]

I don't believe KC45 has brought this up yet with his wealth of information on the SDF, but the Sea Sparrow missile armaments for the Japanese ships so equipped (Hatsuyuki, Asagiri, Haruna, and Shirane) are full of inconsistencies and badly need updating. Unfortunately, I do not read Japanese so I can only point out obvious problems and offer some suggestions.

First, as far as I can tell the RIM-7J designation never actually existed - in fact a Google search of “RIM-7J” only returns entries from the CMANO database. Instead, that weapon should be renamed RIM-7F (which is actually already included in its database descriptive title).

Second, you have ships armed RIM-7H, RIM-7J, and RIM-7M out of chronological order. For instance, Shirane 1980 has RIM-7M (the most advanced version) while Shirane 1981 has RIM-7H (the earliest version). While this is clearly wrong, I couldn't find reliable dates so I would suggest simply going by your database descriptive titles and having RIM-7H on entries prior to 1984, RIM-7J on entries 1984-1985, and RIM-7M on entries after that.

Third, the same ships have a different number of reloads under different entries (Hatsuyuki has 4 or 16, Asagiri has 4 or 12, Shirane has 8 or 16). Again, this is obviously not accurate but I do not have reliable sources. However, the times I did see a reload number mentioned it always seemed to be 8 (which would make sense given the 8 round launchers). Therefore, unless better information is available, I would suggest giving 8 Sea Sparrow reloads for all entries.

Finally, every ship is listed as carrying the Mk 29 launcher, which is not the case. Shirane had the older Mk 25 BPDMS launcher (already in the database) until her refit in 2004, when it was replaced with a GMLS-3 launcher derived from the Italian Albatros launcher (which is already in the database). Most other ships should also have the GMLS-3 although some did have the Mk 29. However, the source for this is machine translation of the Japanese language Wikipedia pages on the respective ship classes so confirmation would be needed (the Mk 25 though is clearly confirmed by photos).


Here is a list of my proposed changes:

Hatsuyuki 1982: Mk 29 with RIM-7H and 8 reloads (currently Mk 29 with RIM-7H and 16 reloads)
Hatsuyuki 1986: Mk 29 with RIM-7M and 8 reloads (currently Mk 29 with RIM-7J and 4 reloads)

Shirane 1981: Mk 25 with RIM-7H and 8 reloads (currently Mk 29 with RIM-7H and 8 reloads)

Shirane 2006-2017: GMLS-3 with RIM-7M and 8 reloads (currently Mk 29 with RIM-7M and 16 reloads)

Takatsuki 1986: GMLS-3 with RIM-7M and 8 reloads (currently Mk 29 with RIM-7J and 8 reloads)
Takatsuki 1988: GMLS-3 with RIM-7M and 8 reloads (currently Mk 29 with RIM-7J and 8 reloads)

Request change ASM-1C (again)
FIRST, ASM-1C is the Air-Launched version of SSM-1B Ship to ship missile, I'll put the picture. So they have same ability.
I found some Engilish resources have many mistaking data. But I found Japanese official reference from TRDI, explained below.
I need this change for constructing my scinario.

*Weight;510kg (now 610kg)

*Range(anti-surf);100nm (now 35nm)

*Properties
Terrain following
Search Pattern
BOL
Weapon-INS navigation
Terminal Maneuver-Pop-up
Level Cruise Flight

*Warheads

*Propulsion
Turbojet 600kts (now Rocket)
*Fuel

CAN plot course!

The sources are Japanese but Official magazines of Technical Research and Development Institute (TRDI), origin of Japanese Acquisition Technology and Logistics Agency(ATLA).

Akizuki-class Suzutsuki's picture

[KC45]

Akizuki-class,Asahi-class and Izumo-class have MOD and FAJ counter torpedo system.
Both of them are late 2000's technology, so expect 35~40% PoH for both decoys. Because I checked AN/SLQ-25A Nixie(DBID#1066) starts service around 2000's and the PoH was 35%.

Also, SS-508 Sekiryu, the 8th submarine of Soryu-class starts equip MOD, almost same things as ships got.

I already posted it but I'll list all infomations I got.

FAJ(Floating Acoustic Jammer)
length:1.38m
span:same as diameter
diameter:0.13m
Weight:25kg

Range(anti-surf):1nm

Guys, a subtle reminder that DB additions generally favor scenarios under construction. Don't ask something just because it exists, but because you're actually going to use it. Thanks [:)]

[LORDPrometheus]

Just a few small updates for Qatar.
In 2012 a sale of patriot missiles was approved http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/qa ... -equipment

in 2014 two full THAAD systems were approved for sale to them https://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/gu ... ems-04390/

They also signed a deal with Boeing in 2017 for 36 F-15E in a new variant, the F-15QA https://www.flightglobal.com/news/artic ... rs-438280/

Working on a 2023 series of scenarios and while i can get around the Air defenses easily there is no good substitute for the F-15QA

[KC45]

This is the request for F-2 loadouts, those have HUGE effect Japan Side's strategy.

(DBID#1199) AAM-4B Kai[Type99]

AAM-4B is the MRAAM with AESA Radar, I want the difference in CMANO. Also checked it has CEC capability, which can only guided by F-15J or F-2A/B. I already posted, but I gathered and listed with detailed informations.

Sensors/EW:
1x Active Radar Seeker /Max Range: 7nm (Due to AAM-4B equip AESA Radar and has 1.4 times autonomous guidance range than AIM-120B+(=AIM-120C-7), And Suggest the AESA Radar has wider search angle)

COMMS/DATALINKS:
AAM-4 Missile Datalink[J/ARG-1 Receiver] /Properties: Supports CEC,LOS-Limited, Receive-only,Secure,UHF Radio
(can Directed by J/ARG-1(F-15) or J/ARG-2 (F-2), and can also directed by other F-15 or F-2)

Properties:
[add] LOAL - CEC Capable

Warheads:
AAM-4 Warhead 39Kg/86ib Blast/Frag [16kg/36ib HE-PBX](12DP)
(Due to information of "AAM-4 has larger warhead than AIM-120's for eliminating Cruise Missiles completely, the 12DP is based on Meteor missile's DP /The size of the AAM-4 is similar to AIM-7's so I used the Warhead Weights of AIM-7'S"
