I belief there is a wrong information of the #2100 - AA-2b Atoll [R-3R]. In the sensors-table the DB is saying it has Semi-Active Radar Homing (SARH), but I think the R-3R should be an infrared missile.

A cursory look through Wikipedia will tell you the R-3R was a later SARH version of the AA-2 Atoll.

It seems like I got confused by the DB-page of the R-3R. It should be telling us something about the R-3R itself, but instead it describes the R-3S, which made me believe the R-3R in CMANO would be an IR-missile:
The AA-2a ATOLL (R-3S) is a short range, air-to-air, uncooled infrared homing missile. It is a solid fuel rocket. The original R-3 and R-3S are direct copies of the AIM-9B Sidewinder and many parts are interchangeable with the AIM-9B.

Hi!
Is it possible to have the following classes added please:

Samuel Gompers-class destroyer tender
Yellowstone class-destroyer tender
Emory S. Land-class submarine tender (the preceding L.Y. Spear-class is there...great![:)])
Hunley-class submarine tender
Simon Lake-class submarine tender
Fulton-class submarine tender
Pigeon-class submarine rescue ship
Haven-class hospital ship
Vulcan-class repair ship
Safeguard-class salvage vessel
Bolster-class salvage vessel
Keystone State-class crane ship
Maumee-class oiler
Powhatan-class tugboat

They were all in service after the DB3000 cut-off year of 1979; some were even commissioned after that year.
If you need references I could help with that (I don't have Jane's like you guys do, nor any other "official" sources; just Dr Google).

Also, HMAS Stalwart, another destroyer tender that is not yet in the database. Could this also be added, please?

Thanks in advance! [:)]

Samuel Gompers and Yellowstone class destroyer tenders

I can second that request. I have plans for the AD-38 & 41 in future scenarios and could easily retrofit Indian Ocean Fury #1 to include AD-42. Not critical but good for story line.

Thanks, mate!

I think those classes are always overlooked.
And they would enhance what is already quite a comprehensive database.

No problem so long as you can provide the data and references.

Here's an example of a well formatted request.

Just be aware that formatting and referencing aside, the priority for database additions is determined chiefly by providing the most scenario and database 'bang' for the development hour 'bucks'; quick fixes to existing platforms, additions of new and significant platforms, and fixes to broken things take priority over addition of esoteric or obscure platforms, or minor details that don't affect gameplay.

The overarching intent of this thread and the database in general is to allow the creation of more community made scenarios, not just to form a comprehensive list of everything that has ever existed.

Hi apache,

I understand the prioritisation of additions.

Hopefully the actual functionality/utility of the platforms I requested will be added in the future so that more in-depth/complex community-created scenarios can be built.

I figured that if 9mm and 5.56mm mounts/weapons and individual infantry units are present or considered (I saw on the forum mention of this), then critical, high-value logistics platforms would most certainly tick the right boxes. [:)]

Nice link, BTW. I'll have a crack at that request format when I get a chance.

Thanks for your patience. [:)]

Hi there!
In this instalment, I'm mainly pointing out inconsistencies in the use of FLIR pods. In most cases, there is an inconsistency between the name of the loadout and the FLIR pod used in it. Also, I also request the use of the Litening AT pod in many AA loadouts, as is practice in other countries using the Hornet.

#3799 – F-16AM Falcon MLU
- In the AIM-120B 202 + Litening 4, AIM-120B 400 + Litening 4, AIM-9X Heavy + Litening 4 and AIM-9X Light + Litening 4 loadouts, the PANTERA pod is used instead of the Litening 4 pod mentioned in the loadout’s description

#2048, #4103 – F/A-18D Hornet
- There should be AA loadouts using the Litening AT pod, as in other countries’ Hornets
- The Litening ER pod is erroneously used instead of the Litening AT pod in the Mk77 & Mk77 short-range loadouts

#712, #3857 – F/A-18F Hornet
- There should be AA loadouts using the Litening AT pod, as in other countries’ Hornets
- The AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR Terminator II pod is erroneously used instead of the Litening AT pod in the GBU-38 & GBU-38 light loadouts

#2325, #3856, #2326, #4575, #4683 – F/A-18A+ Hornet
- There should be AA loadouts using the Litening AT pod, as in other countries’ Hornets
- The AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR Terminator II pod is erroneously used instead of the Litening AT pod in the Mk82 Snakeye & Mk82 Snakeye short-range loadouts

#2046, #2097, #3712, #3912 – F/A-18A Hornet
#3283, #3284, #3910, #3911 – F/A-18B Hornet
#1086, #3826, #977, #4573, #4685 – F/A-18C Hornet
#4640, #4688 – F/A-18C+ Hornet
#4104, #4105, #4106, #4576, #4687, #1088, #3827, #575, #4572, #4686 – F/A-18D Hornet

- There should be AA loadouts using the Litening AT pod, as in other countries’ Hornets

The Colombian Mirage 5COR recon aircraft, DB #3066, doesn't have any internal cameras. The CORs had the same R nose as other Mirage 5s so it should have the same 4x Generic Visual Reconnaissance Cameras as the Mirage 5BR #3064.

Aircraft for the RAAF:

https://adbr.com.au/l3-awarded-contract ... -aircraft/

MC-55 (Gulfstream G550 AISREW variant)
The 2016 Defence Integrated Investment Program (IIP) stated that Defence would acquire long-range electronic warfare support aircraft based on the G550 airframe with additional and modified systems from the early 2020s. The aircraft will be acquired in two tranches (2+3) and incrementally upgraded to maintain commonality with US-developed systems, and the first two ‘green’ Gulfstream G550 airframes were ordered in January 2016.

While the USAF doesn’t currently operate a similar system based on the G550, it has a requirement to replace its fleet of EC-130H Hercules ‘Compass Call’ and other systems with a large business jet airframe.
The MC-55s will replace the RAAF’s two ‘Project Peacemate’ AP-3C Orions in service from 2022/23. The new aircraft are being modified at L3’s Greenville facility in Texas.

(Project Peacemate AP-3Cs were ELINT aircraft).

For now I would have the MC-55 copy the database entry of the Israeli "Gulfstream G550 AEW Nahshon-Shavit, SEMA)-- Israel (Air Force), 2007, 3x", but without the "Special Electronic Missions Aircraft (SEMA) (Aera Surveillance)" stores.

"Electronic warfare support aircraft" (as quoted above) suggests that it's an ELINT platform primarily, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it adopted capabilities similar to that of a USAF Compass Call, with DECM, OECM and comms jamming later down the line (especially given the quote "The aircraft will be acquired in two tranches (2+3) and incrementally upgraded to maintain commonality with US-developed systems".

Can you add SM-2 block IIIC?
Contract has been awarded, estimated operational date is 2022.
Same missile as current SM-2 block IIIa/b but with active seeker from SM-6.

I'd like to see them work on an AESA seeker for the SM-6...
