The Iranian ASBM (Khalij Fars, #1812), doesn't have a guidance system and thus can't hit moving ships.

While data is limited, it apparently has an electro-optical seeker.

The Chinese H-6G, 2014 (ID#3299) doesn't have OECM pods (loadout 2720) in it's C-803K/OECM Pod loadout.

For addition also, the Gowind-Class Corvettes (Malaysian).

I believe we have the earlier variants in there already. We need some pretty detailed info to implement satellites.

nothing concrete on the APAM date, but "Since the Dublin meeting, the United States has clarified its cluster munitions policy, reiterating that the weapons have military utility against massed formations as well as dispersed and moving targets and stating that by 2018 it will not use weapons with a failure rate of 1 percent or greater. Critics have called into question the reliability of tested failure rates and called on the United States and other major cluster weapons possessors to join the CCM. Within the CCW, member states have considered some limitations on the use of certain cluster munitions, but the last draft text still recognized the military utility of the weapons."

Sorry for the lack of details here... It does seem like the Smooth SBD loadout is 8 internal GBU-53 along with 2 aim-120. "All versions of the F-35 will also be able to carry eight GBU-53/Bs and two AMRAAMS in the internal weapons bay. "

Using the BRU-61/A bomb rack you can pack 4 SDB per external hardpoint, and here's some info about its damage capability "Although the SDB is significantly smaller than existing bombs, its warhead is still adequate for many typical targets. E.g. its steel and concrete penetration capability is similar to that of the much larger 2000 lb BLU-109/B warhead."

Not sure what the best way to figure out actual load-outs is, but hopefully this is enough evidence to build some SDB loadouts for the F-35... And perhaps one of those would be... 8 internal SDB, 2 internal Aim-120, 2 external AARGM, +fuel tanks? +Aim9x? +more Aim120?

Noticed something about the Khalij Fars ASBM

according to wikipedia (I know not the most reliable, take as you will)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf_(missile)

The Khalij Fars is a Mach 3 class missile, but in game it goes upwards of 6000kts

the missile its based on (Fateh-110) is mach 3.5 class

Northrop Grumman's RC-12X Airborne Signals Intelligence System Completes 1,000th Mission
U.S. Army System Affordably Delivers High-Reliability Signals Intelligence

MCLEAN, Va., July 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE:NOC) RC-12X Guardrail system recently completed its 1,000th mission since going into theater in 2011. The RC-12X provides operationally effective signals intelligence (SIGINT) capability, delivers rapid precision geolocation of high-value targets and maintains high operational reliability rates, giving unprecedented advantages to the warfighter.

This milestone reaffirms the RC-12X as a robust and affordable airborne SIGINT system with proven field performance and the agility to adapt to a broad range of missions and environments ranging from tactical to strategic. The system is able to fly single-ship missions in an overwatch capacity and detect a large quantity of diverse signals simultaneously. This capability increases intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) force structure efficiency and produces higher-value intelligence. Its inherent interoperability with other systems and adaptability to emerging signal threats positions the RC-12X to support the U.S. Army as ISR missions evolve.

"The RC-12X continues Northrop Grumman's commitment to the Army as a leading provider of airborne SIGINT integrator solutions with proven reliability," said Kathy Warden, vice president and general manager for Northrop Grumman's Cyber Intelligence division. "We're working in partnership with our Army customer to ensure that the RC-12X fleet will continue to serve the warfighter and intelligence community as their needs broaden."

The RC-12X program is on track to deliver seven additional systems in 2012 and 2013, bringing the RC-12X fleet to a total of 14 systems. It continues to offer highly cost-effective, modern SIGINT technology to address current and evolving needs in a budget-constrained environment.

Delivered the first seven of 14 fully modernized
RC-12X Guardrail Common Sensor (GRCS)
aircraft in FY11 and immediately deployed
them in support of ground combat operations.
In FY12, the Army procures and integrates
Enhanced Situational Awareness (ESA) and High
Band COMINT (HBC) on the remaining seven
RC-12X GRCS systems for fielding this year.

I may be overly picky but, when I view the modified dates in the rar file, they all say 4/11. After installation, the dates of the images are earlier. I d/led to DB3000/Images.

Would be great to have personal like SEALs, 8x available as loadout for C-2A(R) Greyhound same as it is already for MH-60S Knighthawk.
Could be usefull for SpecOps personal airdrops deployed from aircraft carrier.
For "Tears of the Sun" like missions[;)]
