Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues

[Filitch]

Looks like database record for SKR Admiral Sergey Gorshkov [Pr.2235.0] missing sensor group 34K1 Monolit (Band Stand). This is anti-ship missiles FCR which includes passive and active elements with OTH Targeting capability.
Pr.2235.0 has no Plank Shave 3Ts-25 Garpun-Bal radar.

Non-military aircraft like airliners could use some additions.

Also the Boeing 737-8 and 9 MAX, and AirBus A.320/321neo are needed:

New unit request.



Could you simulate the Zephyr-S and Zephyr-T HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo Satellite) [1] unmanned aircraft please?

These are existing, large (25m-33m wingspan), solar and battery powered, very long endurance, low speed (30kn), comparatively low-cost (£4.3m), high altitude (up to 70,000') platforms being trialled to provide persistent ISR and communication relay orbits by the MOD.

I appreciate that these are not glamorous platforms, however there's a lot of potential for operating and defending highly persistent ISR and comms relays, especially with the new datalink features in the simulation engine.

The UK MOD has now bought three Zephyr-S (formerly known as Zephyr 8) [4] for trials.

Long endurance trials were held with the first pair in 2016, managing a world record 14 days. "Sustained indefinitely" trials are being held this year with the third aircraft, also pushing each aircraft's individual endurance to 30 days.

The Zephyr-T is being developed following an MOD request for the platform to be able to carry a Radar. The Zephyr-T has been test-flown and is expected to enter evaluation trials in 2018 [2].



Zephyr-S

ISR capability consists primarily of NIIRS 6 [3] rated EOIR sensor capable from 65,000'-70,000' with local area comms relays.

Availability 2018:







Zephyr-T

The Zephyr-T (T for "twin tail") is larger, designed to loft NIIRS 8 rated EOIR and SAR radar providing GMTI/iSAR, LIDAR, ESM and ELINT together with a more complete comms relay suite than the smaller model. This is expected to be the model that the MOD pushes into service.

Availability 2020:

PGD code has no image size adjustment option, but it's forgivable if you are just for one or two pictures with a size between HD and 4K.

Otherwise, try manually editing them, or use some other upload websites that supports multiple size of copies.

OV-10G+ Combat Dragon II

I can't find much information of the sensors and loadout of this aircraft, but the OV-10 Bronco may see a comeback as a light-attack aircraft for the US military. It appears that the aircraft can carry Hydra 70mm rockets (14x), APKWS (14x), AGM-65 (2x), MK82 (2x), MK81 (4x), GBU-12 (2x), GBU-38 (2x), and GBU-54 (2x).

DB Request list updated to this point. Thank you!

[Zaslon]

Looks like Mi-24 entries of the database are older than me. [:D]


Mi-24V with 2 B-8V20 rocket launchers with 20 rockets each one, two UB-32A-73 rocket launchers with 32 rockets each one and 4 Shturm-V ATGM. On the ground FAB-250, FAB-100 and an unindentified weapong (big and white).

Mi-24V (Mi-35) and Mi-24P (Mi-35P) have some missing weapons:

Generic LLTV -> Raduga-Sh LLTV
Generic FLIR -> Raduga-Sh FLIR
Generic Laser Designator -> Raduga-Sh Laser Designator

This is the list of weapons that can be loaded by Mi-24V/Mi-24P:
ATGM: 8 missiles 9M114 Shturm-V (AT-6 'Spiral'). Typical 4 missiles in outer hardpoints.
Rockets:
S5 of 57 mm in UB-32A-73 rocket launchers with 32 rockets each one. 2 or 4
S-8 of 80mm in B-8V20 rocket launchers with 20 rockets each one. 2 or 4

S-24A/B of 240 mm. Can load 4 maximum (one per hardpoint except outer harpoints).
Gunpods:
UPK-23-250 of 23 mm. 2 in inner hardpoints

[Luckysmoker]

I am new to this game, but i want to point out a possible mistake in a database.
Real-life Su-35S do have a MAWS, (it can be seen widely implemented in regular squadrons, not only test or advanced training like the one in Lipetsk) so i guess this is how it shold be in CMANO.
But, as I understand, as a new user I am not allowed to post links to pics yet. Anyway, detailes about this system can be found if you google for picteres using this russian phrase: "оптико электронные системы су-35".

Update:
I took a screenshot from the official buklet issued by the knaapo - manufacturer of the Su-35S.

Because they are such legends, and because we soon can do proper parachute drops (I think): 2nd battalion Royal Gurkha Rifles.

Inf Plt (Royal Gurkha Rifles) - United Kingdom (Army)

[Owllord]

Some more tank requests:

M48A5T1/2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M48_Patton#Turkish

And the Japanese Type 61, 90 and 10 tanks.

Also perhaps the Japanese Yamayuri class:

http://www.vspg.net/jcg/cl201-yamayuri-class.html

Weight：37t/
●Measurements： 18.0m×4.3m×2.3m (Length, With, Depth)
●Engine: 900PS Diesel
●Speed ：about 20kt
●Range: 180 Nautical Miles
●Crew：6


Added all requests to our list. Japanese Type 90 and 10 are already it the DB. Thanks!

[Owllord]

I think there might be an issue with the T80s in the database(s): Their first weapon is the 12.7mm machine gun, so it seems to prioritize it and the tanks try to drive into mg range to engage targets if not given specific orders to use their main guns.

[mikmykWS]

Updated our db request list to this point. Thank You!

Since CoW apparently treats infantry units different when transporting them I just want to clarify that the Gurkhas are not paratroopers. they are air assault infantry. In terms of CoW cargo they are "troops".

Yeah it loads the mounts and compiles them at landing into a new unit. Baloogan is awesome for doing it this way because you can break up units. This is absolutely fine in terms of infantry as they're all made of the same mounts anyways. You can rename the file to whatever you like when it recompiles at landings (Gurkas->Magnificient Bastards etc).

English is my second language so I might misunderstand you here, but what I ment to say is that the 2nd battalion Gurkas doesn't use parachutes, they are transported all the way to the ground.

Target acquisition range and arc for P-800 (SS-N-26) are out of character declared by manufacturer:
https://www.granit-electron.ru/en/produ ... hont_head/

Manufacturer defines detection range more than 50 km and search angle ± 40°

[Doctorwarthog]

The Polish Lubin-class LST, #2438, has no troop or cargo capacity in the database. Wikipedia says "They can carry up to 9 T-72 tanks or 17 transport vehicles such as the Star 266 and 135 equipped troops".
