Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues

[deepdive]

A/C loudouts recquest, A-6A/E and A-7A/B/C/E was regulary fitted With buddy pod for tanking and KA-6A could carry dumb bombs. A-7 could carry 4x300usg tanks for Ferry missions and A-6 could carry 5x300usg.

Not shure but couldn`t F-16 carry 2x600usg Ferry tanks? could anyone comfirm that?

As what I hope is an easy to action request, can you please add Australian (and Indonesian and Papua New Guinean) Attack class patrol boats to DB3000? They're in the CWDB, but not DB3000.

Australia retired its surviving Attack class patrol boats during the second half of the 1980s (with some being transferred to Indonesia) and PNG appears to have retired theirs in the mid-1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack-class_patrol_boat

As far as I'm aware, the armament and electronics on the patrol boats were never upgraded (what I imagine is the final configuration of the ships is at http://www.anmm.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=1369), so the CWDB version should still apply post-1980. Thanks

Have some more request; some helicopers(among others, Bell 214) has an Ferry ready time of 6 hours, please set it to 30min.

Would really like to have Rescue or Search and rescue for all transport helos, 15 min ready time.

F/A-18 hornets are capable to carry 5 fuel tanks for Ferry and are capable of carrying a buddy pod and 4 fuel tanks as support tankers. AV-8 Harrier can carry 4 fuel tanks for a Ferry missions.

C-5 Galaxy have no troops or paras loudouts.

I would like to thank you all so far for a wonderful game, not only those "devs" but all of you that contributes With scenarios, Pictures and others.

thanks, Bjørn

A few more things about F-35's sensor suite after checking out Baloogan Campaign Wiki: AAQ-37 EO DAS is falsely classified as LLTV sensor, while in reality it's an Imaging Infrared sensor. The 1x magnification for in-game stat seem to result in significantly inferior performance(as I observed previously during gameplay) than it's real life performance. The ScanInterval stat does not seem to indicate a superior update rate compare to an average gimbal mounted FLIR sensor.

Thanks guys, have registered various requests [8D]

I have to add an minor loudout request for F-15C 1992 "2 sparrows, 2 Amraam and 2 Sidewinders" should be "4 Sparrows 2 Amraams and 2 Sidewinders". US Eagles includes Sparrows like that up to present day. Latest mod AIM-7M/P Sparrow is a Deadly weapon.

Have an Nice weekend, Bjørn

F-35s will actually carry tailored 426gal(reshaped 480gal tank) tank rather than any existing tank. Although it may not become available until after Block 3F. F-22 do carry 600gal tank, although maybe not on all 4 hardpoints.

I understand that you are intending to build some 'What if' DB entries. Here is one thought which may (or may not have) been produced if the Cold war had contniued:

USS Kaimalino, http://books.google.ca/books?id=8MwyTX- ... no&f=false

A SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) design, Semi submersible platform (SSP). I think that there would be useful applications in a small helicopter platform ship - say 2-4 ASW Helos and a ship mounted sonar system. A dozen or so of these platforms could form an ASW channel for convoys to move through for instance.

In extremes, you could go as far as the Floating Island or the SS carrier described on pages 119-122 of this document:
http://books.google.ca/books?id=fFwrAAA ... er&f=false

I came across this the other day and recall the discussion of the 'Floating Island' a few years ago. Pie in the sky stuff but might be fun.

One more 'What If' request: B-1A bomber

[ADDED DB v437]

If I missed it I apologize but can we have the Sea Lance as a what if? If we're going to add the A-12 and the F-23 then this should be in here. In particular, note the version that apparently had a 200kt warhead! [X(]

[ADDED DB v440]

Hello everyone, i've been working on a scenario with swedish navy and discovered that following classes of active ships are missing in the DB:

Styrsö-class mine countermeasures vessel (currently four active in swedish navy)
Tapper class patrol boat (currently 12 active in swedish navy)
Koster-class mine countermeasures vessel (currently five active, note that this is upgraded Landsort class, which is already present in the DB)

It would be great, if they were added [:)]

EDIT: I've added some links to specifications of these ships, because i can't post the links directly (as I'm new to forum), so they're in attachment as a .txt file.

Only LCS-1 class carries TRS-3D radar and only LCS-2 class carries Sea Giraffe. I'd imagine they are similar in functionality and capability, but they are not modeled as such in game. Most importantly Sea Giraffe does have surface search capability.
