[UPDATED DB v440]

http://archive.defensenews.com/article/ ... pabilities

"The MDC said at the time that the new BAE Systems Sampson radar fitted to the Type 45s would be used in detecting and tracking ballistic targets during the MDA tests.

The radar is part of the Sea Viper anti-air missile system, which includes the MBDA-developed Aster 30 weapon.

Successful satellite tracking experiments involving Sampson have already been conducted."

Considering that this testing took place without the ships having new hardware added I think its safe to assume that the capability is added through software. The Thales website seems to back this up "Additional capabilities can be introduced during lifetime according to customer needs. This makes the radar future proof in case of evolving requirements."


https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/worldwid ... mart-l-ewc

The T45 in game is completely blind to even short range ballistic missiles such as SCUD when placed within a few miles of both the launch site and target - this seems rather unrealistic regardless of whether S1850M has its ballistic missile box checked or not. I was also surprised that at 1.2nm from the launch area I didn't even get a contrail sighting.

[ADDED DB v440]

Hi, I need following units for several scenarios I'm currently working on and other stuff I'm thinking of.

J-11BH (Navalised J-11B)

Most likely the exact same aircraft as the J-11B, just in lighter grey PLANAF colours. The J-11BH was first spotted in 2010, however, the exact date of IOC remains unkown (at least to me...). According to Scramble, the first J-11BHs/BSHs arrived at Lingshui on Hainan in 2013.

These units are kind of close to my heart. I'd really appreciate if they make it into the DB.

Currently she serves as the flagship of the Sri Lanka Navy and obtained several remarkable naval victories against the naval branch (Sea Tigers) of the Tamil Tiger rebels.” So that’s a separate class; I’ll try to track down the data for her later.)

I second the China type 55 request.

Also is it possible to add to c-803 and yj-12 loadouts to the J-20 and J-31. I know they have not yet been on these aircraft but it seems possible and all the loadouts for these are hypothetical?

Also is it possible to make the J-31 carrier capable or add an additional J-31 carrier capable entry.

One more thing. If the F-35 agility is ever changed I suggest the J-31 is also changed.

[SASR]

[ALREADY ADDED DB v440]

I know you guys are adding the YJ-100 AShM for the H-6 in v440, and since we're adding the Type 055 I found multiple sources claiming that YJ-100 AShM can also be put onto the Type 055.

From : http://missilethreat.com/chinas-anti-sh ... -revealed/

"The type-055 destroyer will be used as one of the largest surface combat vessels, apart from the aircraft carrier, and must be a basic carrier of oversized large-scale missiles. The destroyer, on its front end and rear end respectively mounted with 64 vertical launching systems, can not only carry large-size anti-ship missiles like the ?gYJ-100??, but can also carry missiles for different purposes, including anti-submarine and air-defense missiles."

"In addition, the type-055 guided missile destroyer will be equipped with the ?gYJ-100?? to promote its battle strength."

http://www.janes.com/article/48738/chin ... -destroyer

"A military analyst, Li Li, has told Chinese state television that the new People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Type 055 destroyer will be equipped with 128 vertically launched missiles arranged in two grids of 64 cells, one forward and one aft. Li's interview with China Central Television (CCTV) was reported by a number of Chinese online media outlets, including the semi-official PLA Daily. Li also said the Type 055 would be capable of firing the YJ-100 long-range anti-ship cruise missile from these cells, as well as anti-submarine and air-defence missiles."

http://www.deagel.com/Anti-Ship-Missile ... 39002.aspx

"The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) YJ-100 is a long-range, subsonic, anti-ship cruise missile designed to be delivered by Type 055 class destroyers starting in 2020. It is a derivative of the YJ-100 air-launched anti-ship missile similar to the United States Tomahawk land attack cruise missile."

Emsoy, excuse my obtrusion but how are the chances this will be included in the next Update/s??

ORIGINAL: Supreme 2.0

Some corrections for the Chinese AGI #2565 - Type XXX [851 Dongdiao].

To start, the DB name should be changed to Type 815 [851 Dongdiao]. (In case this matters, the ship was commissioned as Dongdiao 232.)

Regarding its armament, there's also something to do. The ship already is equipped with two 25mm/60 Twin AAA guns which is right. Ingame, the AAAs are placed facing forward but the ship actually carries those on top of the aft hangar looking in the opposite direction. On the forward deck, there should be a single Twin-barreled 37mm canon, possibly the 37mm/63 Type 76 Twin DP.

Last, when it comes to the aircraft facilities, I noticed two things: First, in reality the ship is equipped with a hangar as opposed to the game. Second, Looking at some pictures of those aircraft facilities, I doubt that neither the flightdeck nor the hangar is big enough to host large aircraft.

Well, looks like I twisted my facts here...
The last of three aircraft was delivered in October 2009 and in 2010 the aircraft were used in Haiti and Pakistan. So I guess IOC was declared sometime between late 2009 and early 2010. According to this factsheet, FOC of the whole unit at Papa Air Base was declared in late 2012. Couldn't come up with a better source yet. Hope this helps!

YJ-12 etc on J-20/J-31... hmmm lemme think about it.

Are there plans for a carrier version of J-31? Sources?

J-31 would be far more maneouverable than F-35? So Agility should be 5th Gen?

Well, at least for the Macae-class. Since it looks like that will be the main vessel of the Angolan navy for several years (c. 2020-2030) it may well get some use, especially against similar vessels from other African nations (not South African frigates...against those it would simply be outclassed).
