I am aware that little work is done on adding new things to the DB, but i think that the top two naval additions and the TOW capable helicopter would add alot to the Swedish scenarios (out of which i am building several for public release). This represents an alternative universe where our swedish goverment actually cares about the armed forces and put SAM's on the Visby class. I also added some less important additions, such as ground units. Apparantly i can't post links here becouse i am new, which is quite the problem so i can't provide proper source links.

Visby class corvette
I want to mount the cancelled 8x (1 cell) Umkhonto SAM's on the Visby (2013) class missile frigate as a hypothetical unit. The Umkhonto SAM system is already in-game on the 2009 version of the finnish Hamina PCFG and the 2009 version of the Hämeenmaa ML.

Sources & Justification

Ground Forces
On the backburner, i would also like to request these things: (Note, not very important at all due to the limited simulation of ground forces but thought i'd ask)

[*]Add the Swedish Armored Plt Centurion from the Cold War DB to DB300. (Used until mid 1990s activly, also their designation should be Strv 104 judging by it having rangefinder.)
[*]Add Bkan 1C self propelled artillery piece. 155 mm. (1980s-2003)
[*]Add Strv 103C tank, 105 mm with laser rangefinder and 3x GMG. (1980s-1997)
[*]Add Pbv 302 Mech Inf Plt, 4x Pbv 302 with 1x Hispano 20mm, (1966 to 1990s, would fit CW DB aswell.)

Note: The Swedish CV90 Mech Inf Plt seems to be the only one in the game with infantry weapons somewhat modelled, seems weird.

This would essentially complete Sweden as a faction entirly, and would make me a very happy bunny. [&o]
Thanks for reading.

I've been testing LRASM #2786 against the JSM #2885 and finding that the radar component of the multimode seeker on the LRASM causes LRASMs to be detected significantly earlier than JSMs by ESM-equipped units, 8-9 nm vs 5 nm. Is there a way to command LRASMs (and SDB-II, and other multimode seeker-equipped weapons) to employ only passive sensors on launch?

Minor request for both Chinese HQ-9 platforms.

Always wondered why the Chinese HQ-9 SAM battalion (DBID #1276) hasn't any reloads. For example, the Russian S-300PM battalion with 8 TELs (DBID #1488) has a magazine with enough missiles to reload all launchers. I found this HQ-9 factsheet a while ago which states that a HQ-9/FD-2000 battalion has 64 missiles in container (of which 32 are already loaded onto the TAS-5380 8x8 TELs). That being said, the remaining 32 missiles should be included in a magazine, representing the battalion's missile transporters. Maybe also add a limited number of reloads to the other, 2 launcher HQ-9 battalion in the DB.

Do you know the in-service date for Hkp 3C?

Thanks, updated!

Although the Hkp 3B and Hkp 3C may not have been available before 1970?

Would the loadout for the E/A18 growler with the NGJ also include 2 AMRAAMs similar to current growler loadout?

#2816 - SKR Admiral Sergey Gorshkov [Pr.2235.0] in database have CADS-N-1 Kortik-M and #2883 - SKR Dagestan [Pr.1166.1K] CADS-N-1 [Palash] wich is basically copy paste of Kortik-M with radar and missiles
This is wrong thing, both of them have Palash, and Palash are nothing like Kortik-M
