Triode, thanks for updating the information I posted. I'm not an expert in actual military technology, and sometimes it is hard for me to evaluate what I'm seeing about future platforms (where a lot of the information is iffy to begin with) on various web sites. Thanks again.

Sorry , but I am not provide any information about 23560, it just critique (quite rude, in my defence I can say that I type my post when I almost asleep)

As for information about project 23560E, main thing on this ship is "Krepost"("Fortress") Air Defence system, actually it is funny how "Almaz-Antey" and OSK dodge questions about quantity of "Krepost" VLS cells on 23560E , "128 anti air guided missiles in VLS" + "can use S-400 and S-500 missiles", it is not the same as 128 VLS cells with 40N6(400km against aerodynamic targets,max height of target 185km for satellite, missile from S-400) or 77N6(700km antisatellite,165km ABM target ,S-500 missile) missiles in each cells

if we look at 23560E:



Red - 56 "Krepost" VLS cells , 56 40N6 or 77N6 / 224 9M96D or 9M96 / 896 (purely theoretically) 9M100 missiles in any combination (almost any, 9M100 missiles is "quad-packed" , so one 9M96D or9M96 = 4 9M100,
one 40N6 = 4 9M96D or 9M96 = 16 9M100

Green - 64 UKSK VLS

Black - 16 533mm VLS for 91RT antisubmarine missile-torpedo




also according to this:

23560E have 2x4 Paket-NK ,two helicopters,1x1x130mm gun ("Kartaun", same as for "Gorshkov"), 3 "Palash" modules,
two SN-RLS navigational radars:

EWAR systems looks like TK-28 but it can be something new
countermesures launchers is: 2x2 KT-308 and 8 KT-216

I cant say anything on sonar of 23560E, maybe this is Zarya-M + Vinetka , maybe not

Brazil's contract for 36 Gripen E/F fighters makes it the first export customer for the type.
As well as signing for the aircraft, Brazil and Saab have agreed a 10-year industrial co-operation deal.
Deliveries for the 28 single-seat Gripen E and eight twin-seat Gripen F aircraft will begin in 2019 and run through to 2024.

All I know is that Brazil eyes to integrate the A-Darter and maybe also an indigenous BVRAAM. Probably also the MAR-1 ARM.

The AT-16 is used on the Ka-52 which arrived nearly 15 years later.

Was the AT-16 actually operational on the Ka-50?

Guys?

ORIGINAL: Rocksoldier

Hi, i noticed what i think are some inaccuracy in the database. If im wrong please i ask sorry in advance!

1)KA-50 only has loadout with AT-9 Spiral 2 and no AT-16 Scallion. As far as i know KA-50 is not equipped with any radar and only use AT-16, but maybe there are different versions?
2)AT-16 is a laser guided, beam rider missile and can be ripple fired to the illuminated target. In game i can shot only one missile at a time and there is no illumination vector.

Source:I played DCS blackshark 2 simulator for a while

This is on our to-do list but requires a fair number of changes to the existing models [8D]

ORIGINAL: butch4343

Hi folks,

I wondered if it would be possible to have the Phanlanx CIWS in its land based Centurion C-RAM guise added to the database. I know that the C-RAM is used to shoot down incoming mortar and artillery rounds, BUT for CMANO purposes could it be added as a point defence gun system?

My sources are :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS

I am not sure the complexity of this for the admins, I would think that this would be a fairly easy mod to create, stick a 20mm Phalanx Mount on a generic truck, but I stand to be corrected.

I have created a template for a database entry as attached

[ComDev]

Could you post up stats please [8D]

Thanks!

A nice addition to the already rich CMANO's Surface-Commercial Units in DB for 1.9v release?

VALEMAX Class ships ARE a fleet of very large ore carriers (VLOC) owned or chartered by the Brazilian mining company Vale S.A. to carry iron ore from Brazil to European and Asian ports. With a capacity ranging from 380,000 to 400,000 tons deadweight, the vessels meet the Chinamax standard of ship measurements for limits on draft and beam. Valemax ships are the largest bulk carriers ever constructed, when measuring deadweight tonnage or length overall, and are amongst the longest ships of any type currently in service.

Would it be possible to add high altitude iron bomb load out profiles to the B-52G? I'm developing a Vietnam era scenario and my bombers are being decimated by NVA AAA while conducting low level attacks over North Vietnam. I don't recall B-52s using low level attack profiles during the Vietnam War.

**EDIT** For some reason, I am unable to post this in the Cold War Database thread.

Thank you,

Have forwarded this one to Paul [8D]

[ComDev]

Look like really impressive ships but may be a bit too early to add these?

Thoughts?

ORIGINAL: Mgellis

Two requests for the next version of the database, both for Russia. These vessels are both currently in the design phase, so I've tried to dig up whatever I could about them so that we could at least get a preliminary version in the database. They're both pretty impressive...talk about a red storm rising! Thanks for considering these!

I've relied mostly on Globalsecurity and Deagle.com for the technical information, although some bits and pieces came from Wikipedia.

Japanese did attack runway with battleship bombardment in WW2

Probably, you will disagree with this case. (Non-concrete surface runway)
But I notice 100kg GPB(45kg HE) can target runway. 406mm shell has 70kg HE.

Just giving this one a bump in case it got missed...this one is LOW PRIORITY, as I'm not working on anything right now that involves Ghana, but it would be nice to have.

Albatros (Type 143) FAC

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_Navy) says that two German Albatros-class FACS (P 27 Sebo and P 31 Dzata) were transferred in 2010 (so, Operational dates would be 2010-present, I suppose). I’m guessing the data would be the same as that listed in the database for the Albatros-class from 1988-2004 (listed as #1386)


P 33 Stephen Otu

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_Navy) also says a South Korean Chamsuri-class was donated in 2011 (Operational dates: 2011-present). Here is the Wikipedia data for the ship:

Information from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNS_Stephen_Otu_%28P33%29


Gepard Class Fast Attack Craft

Wikipedia says two were purchased from Germany in 2012 (Operational dates: 2012-present); these appear to be the same as the ones in #1381 in the database. As far as I can tell from the one image I could find, the Exocet missiles are still there, but I could be mistaken.


Lurssen FPB 45

Operational Dates: 1980-2010 (both commissioned in 1980; decommissioning date is a guess, based on the fact that the same ship names are used for the Albatross-class ships transferred in 2010; I’m guessing the Albatross-class ships are replacements for these two vessels)
Pennant numbers: P 26 Dzata; P 27 Sebo
Displacement: 269 tons full load
Dimensions: 44.9 m x 7 m x 2.7 m
Main machinery: 2 MTU 16V 538 TB91 diesels; 6,140 hp(m) (4.5 MW) sustained; 2 shafts

(already requested)

Ghana is listed as having seven of these (three in 2008, four more in 2010); Operational dates: 2008-present


Balsam Class PBO

(former USCG vessels)

Speed: 13 knots
Range: 8,000 miles at 12 knots
Complement: 53
Guns: 2 x 12.7 mm MGs
Radar: Navigation: Raytheon SPS-64(V)1


(Unfortunately, very little information is available on Ghana's newest class, the Snake-class 46.8m patrol vessels ordered from China. The Wikipedia page has their pennant names and numbers, and the fact that they were commissioned in 2012, but I could not find out anything else about them. Sorry.)

According to http://www.airforce-technology.com/proj ... -aircraft/, “The DA42 MPP GUARDIAN is fitted with a mission-specific turret and airborne computer, and carries a variety of sensors which can be loaded and unloaded with ease.

The universal nose of the DA42 MPP GUARDIAN can be installed with electro optic / infrared (EO/IR) cameras, high-definition (HD) cameras, laser scanner, and air monitoring sensors.
The DA42 MPP achieves a peak range of distance at 1,452km and a maximum altitude of 5,486m. It has a maximum endurance of 12 hours."

Data transmission systems such as EnerLinksIII, dVMO, Helicoder III, SOLO H.264, FM Datalink, and SCOTTY SATCOM are also accepted on this aircraft.

The underfloor pod can be installed with Telephonics RDR-1700B maritime search radar, Selex PicoSAR Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, Seaspray 5000E multi-mode surveillance radar, Thales I-Master radar system, and airborne COMINT system. The belly and nose pods can house mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).”

CASA C-295
This appears to be the C-295M military transport variant (already in the database for several countries)
Dates of operation: 2012-present

F28-3000 (x1)
This appears to be the commercial aircraft already in the database
Operational dates: 1978-present

F27-400M (x4)
This appears to be very similar to the commercial version (F27-400) but instead of passengers can carry, according to Global Security, “56 infantry troops, 50 fully loaded paratroopers or 24 litter patients.”
Operational dates: 1975-present

Mil Mi-17
Described in one source as a Mi-17 V5 (armed version capable of using 57 mm. rockets, probably similar to the ones used by China or Mexico)
Operational dates: 2005-present

Thanks for considering these for the database!

Thanks! Is it operational yet?

No actual info to prove is it already servicing or not, however, Norinco did promoted the 122mm laser guided artillery munition at IDEX 2007 (also no picture of actual product), and many medias said it would be a copy of the KBP 122mm Kitolov M2 (not sure if it is in DB3000), revealed in 2004.
