Well, Poland only had 2 (two) Harpoon missiles (according to other sources 4 units) and they were decommissioned last year. So even though there are mounts for them there were no missiles to load. Total number of Standard missiles bought by Poland was 17 (18 according to other sources) - so they are really scarce resource. Most probably the Mk13 launchers are not operational because of age.

Not to mention that there are only 1000 rounds for Phalanx in the whole fleet.

Yak-141 Freestyle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yak-141

I don't know what the DB policy on "what if" planes is but the Yak-141 was basically stopped by the dissolution of the USSR, not by technical problems, and would be a very fascinating what if.

Have added the Yak-141 [8D]

Yak-141 Freestyle -- Russia [1992-] (Navy), 1995, Yak-41

[ComDev]

Also added these:
 
HC-130J Combat King II -- United States (Air Force), 2013, Combat Rescue
HC-130J Hercules -- United States (Coast Guard), 2004
HC-144A Ocean Sentry [CN-235-300MPA Persuader] -- United States (Coast Guard), 2009, 16x

I noticed the SEAWOLF class submarine is listed with 2x nuclear reactors. This is incorrect. There is only 1. Minor fix as it doesn't affect any of the values, unless of course one of them could be knocked out due to damage leaving one operating.

Same goes for SSN-23 Jimmy Carter and for the UK Astute. One reactor.

RAAF - All dates are for RAAF operations.

F/A-18B Hornet - not in DB at all, could be added to several countries, 1985-current

King Air 350 - Is not in DB at all, could be added to Civilian and Commercial, 2009-current

Pilatus PC-9A - Is not in DB at all, could be added to several other countries, 1987-current

CT/4 Airtrainer - Is not in DB at all, 1973-current

Challenger CL-604 - Is not in DB at all, could be added to Commercial also, 2002-2014

737 BBJ - Is not in DB but several other 737 variants are. Is actually a 737-700. Closest in DB is 737-700ER, 2002-2014

AN/TPS-77 - I note that the AN/TPS-70 is incorrectly listed under the Australian Air Force in the DB3K, it is actually the AN/TPS-77 which is operated by 3CRU and 114MCRU, 2005-current

De Havilland DHC-4 Caribou - Is not in the DB at all, 1963-2009

C-130H - This is in the DB, just not for Australia, 1978-2012

C-130E - Also not in Australia in the DB, 1966-2000

C-130A - Also not in Australia in the DB, 1958-1978

C-17 - This is actually in the DB and in Australias category, too. I just wanted to note that IOC was reached in september 2007 rather than in 08.

Boeing 707 - VIP transport and tanker variants operated by 33SQN, 1981-2008

Id like to note that the Aussie Hornets in the DB currently require AIM-120-C5s in their loadouts. Id like to point out that we acquired AIM-120-C7s in 2011, and AIM-120Bs in 1998, but am aware of no sales of AMRAAMs in the intervening years. Id like to suggest a solution to loadouts which allows individual weapons to be set, on a per hardpoint and possibly per launcher basis, rather than a per loadout basis. Id like to cite the PACAF approved SCLs as one such reason, given the extreme number of different loadouts.

RAN

Ive noted quite a few pennants missing in the Aussie DB too, so Ill list some of them here for you.

73 Collins - SSG 73 Collins [Collins Class]

75 Waller - SSG 75 Waller [Collins Class]

01 Adelaide [Perry] - FFG 01 Adelaide [Perry Class]

150 Anzac - FFH 150 Anzac [Anzac Class]

Id like to request the addition of O 266 Sirius, a replenishment ship.

I should also note that the Paluma Class vessels of the Royal Australian Navy are conspicuously absent, along with their Leeuwin Class cousins.


Singapore

PC-21


My appreciation is extended in anticipation of these eventual updates.

(I'm not sure if I posted this one or not, but I searched and could not find it. Nearly 1,000 have been built and they've been used as light attack/COIN aircraft by about a dozen countries, including Nicaragua, Chad, and Uganda.)

BTW, I saw that the F-15SG with it's APG-63(v)3 doesn't have surface search capability, though it's supposedly an F-15E variant. Is that true?

[Mgellis]

Low priority, but nice to have someday...

Learjet 35 (Commercial) <-- just a generic version of the jet that might be used by neutrals, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learjet_35

(There are already two entries for the Learjet 35, so most of the data should be available; I was not sure if the Argentinian version had any differences (the Finnish one seems to have extra sensors you would not have on a purely commercial jet)

Should there also be an entry for the C-21 Learjet?

Embraer KC-390 <-- also low priority, but good to add eventually
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_KC-390

Aero Commander 500 <-- also low priority, but widely used (looks like more than 1,000 have been built and it is employed by about a dozen air forces, including the US) so it might make sense to add it someday
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_Comma ... ircraft%29

Thanks for considering these.

I dont expect this to be added. This is to the best of my knowledge, correct, but apparently accuracy is no reason for change.

Uncalled for.

should I be proven wrong, Id be happy to make a full apology.

I'd like to apologize to Myk and the whole WarfareSims team for what is at best undeserved slander. My statements were made in a poor frame of mind, and do not reflect my long term view of myk or the team.

I hope that in the future we can put this sorry debacle behind us.

Hello guys, quick request for an upgrade of the existing Italian Tornado ECR(SEAD), first one was delivered in 2013 and called "ECR MLU"... They are now capable of using JDAMs and better Harms missiles (my guess is the "c" version)

And maybe add the Su30 to the Algerian rooster since they bought 46 of those to the russians.

Anyways thanks for your time

This *after* being informed by myk that any requests I make would not be added, on the grounds that I made them.

In my view, the statement stands. I list these for completionism only - Ill be surprised to see these added.

should I be proven wrong, Id be happy to make a full apology.

Ill take this opportunity to let you know I have no problem with you sunburn, and that Im sorry that you were offended by that. I know were I in your position, Id certainly be offended.

Before this escalates further, I'd like to recommend calm and patience.

I understand it takes a fair amount of time and work to add things to the databases because of the amount of information that has to be tracked down sometimes. In addition, there are other issues like squashing bugs that also take up a lot of time and effort. I think the people working on the databases sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed and so I make a point of saying things like "thank you" and "I know this one will probably take a while" because I am grateful for the work they do and I do know it may take a while to add certain platforms. I mostly post things to get them in the queue for eventual inclusion--I'm hoping we'll someday have both databases where pretty much every platform for every country is available, even down to small patrol boats and aircraft used mostly as trainers but capable of being used for COIN in a pinch, but I know most of them won't show up for months or maybe even longer. But that's all right. I'm taking the long view because I think Command is the new Harpoon, and I think Command could have the same thirty-year run, so I figure I've got plenty of time.
