It's further from Seoul than I would've thought

Does anyone have any thoughts or analysis as to why this may be?

My first thought was that it is putting it out of harm's way in regards to the North's artillery and allows it to provide coverage of the Korea Strait.

Might have to do with acquisition times guidance and minimum range.

Makes sense to have it out if artillery range.

Protecting President Golfer?

Meet the new President Golfer. Much the same as the old President Golfer.

Seriously, as for the THAAD placement on a now-former golf course, it is more remote than the original nearby site (the local residents have a lot of concerns over the AN/TPY-2 radar), yet much of the infrastructure needed was in place (roads, electricity, relatively-flat land).

I have spent the last week going through various "trusted source" scenarios and exporting a lot of groups that can be used as pre-builts. Its mostly carrier groups, but a few SAGs and bases. I collected them from various official scenarios and community scenarios. The scenario I exported them from is listed in the description. I didn't list author because most didn't list it in the scenario.

What is included is carrier groups from USN, PLAN, Russia/USSR, India, Argentina, UK, France, Italy, and Brazil. It covers various years like 1952, 1958, 1962, 1969, 1975, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2019. It also includes a couple SAGs, airbases, and missile defense networks. It is a patchwork though and is skewed towards the USN just because of the number of carriers and their deployment in scenarios. But is a good start for someone not knowing how a close to real-life group is built, including magazines, aviation, and formations. In total their are 45 pre-built groups. I will continue adding them as I see fit and if people develop new ones, I'll evaluate them for inclusion.

I just want to make sure no one has an issue with the posting of those groups. As I said, some are from official scenarios that came with the game and fifteen are exports of units from Norther Inferno and Chains of War. I'll leave this up here for a few days if anyone has an issue, just post here. After a couple days of getting feedback that is positive, I'll post the zip of the groups. If the feedback is negative from anyone, I'll just scrap it.

With that said, I don't expect any regualar public scenario builders to have issues. Any person can, today, freely export any unit they want for themselves. This just saves some people some work. I do want to hear from the devs to make sure they are OK with me exporting a few CVBGs from the DLCs.

I, for one, think this is a great contribution. I have also collected a number of .inst files that CMANO folks have contributed over time. Hopefully there are no issues doing this.

Thanks for the time and effort!

Got a bunch of positive feedback by PM and email so will post now. If anyone has any issues with what I have included, post them on this thread.

Also, if you have in inst files of your own and want me to put them in the zip, just post the inst here.

MARLANT (Maritime Forces Atlantic) imports:

Includes Canadian Coastal Radars at CFS Barrington, CFS Sydney, CFB Gander; SOSUS arrays off Argentia and Shelburne; HFSW Radars at Hartlen Point and Cape Race; and C4ISR facilities at NRS Newport Corner, NRS Mill Cove, CFB Stadacona (Trinity), and the HF/DF array at CFB Gander.

Two import files containing Chinese OTHR sites and PLARF underground facilities. I've heard there's an OTHR array on Hainan as well, but was unable to locate it in Google Earth.

Not sure if this is the right place, but here are OOBs with units for North America, the Asian Pacific, the UK, and Russia. The older files are based on Baloogan Wiki. While the newer ones are based on Wikipedia and Scramble. Since ships don't work with Insts yet, I included Lua files for adding them.

Hi folks are there any existing files for the Chinese bases on the Spratly Islands?

I would look in some of the DLC and community scenarios and export those.

UPDATE: I made some errors in my previous PRC OTH Radars import file. Shanghudong site has been moved to its actual coordinates, all coastal OTHRs are changed to surface-wave types, including an additional smaller site near Zhushan Mountain represented as a Podsolnukh-E SW Radar which I think is the closest fit for its range and capabilities. Also included are OTH-B radars in Hubei province, and a new one in Inner Mongolia. I could not locate the transmitter for the latter in Google Earth so I just plunked it down where I thought it looked good.

The majority of the Czechoslovak AF (besides a single airport near Presov) and the majority of the East German AF as they were in circa 1990. Facilities at Zatec in Czech Republic are guessed upon as the air base was demolished in the 1990s before any commercial satellite imagery could photograph it.

Has anyone built Ljubljana Jože Puènik Airport in Slovenia?

Here is Mather AFB, east of Sacramento. Mather was a SAC and also a training base for most of it's history. Mather was home to the 441st Bombardment Squadron, 320th Bombardment Wing. It was equipped with B-52F's until 1968, when the wing converted to B-52G's. The 904th Aerial Refueling Squadron (KC-135A) was also assigned. According to Wikipedia, the B-52G's were also equipped with Harpoons and mines and had a secondary sea control mission. The B-52's left Mather 9/30/89 as the Cold War was winding down. Squadron strength was placed at 16 bombers.

In 1977, the 940th Aerial Refueling Group was also assigned to Mather. This is an Air Force Reserve Unit (it still flies today out of Beale) and flew KC-135A's, upgrading to the E model in 1986. When Mather closed for good in 1993 this unit relocated to McClellan AFB nearby.

the base was also host to the 3535th Navigator Training Wing from 1946 to 1973. The wing trained navigators on the T-29 (C-131) and then the T-43 (Boeing 737-200). The unit was replaced by the 323rd Flying Training Wing in 1973 which began training Navy and Marine Pilots, Air Force personnel and pilots from NATO nations.

The base closed for good in 1993.

This is my first facility and I'd appreciate feedback. I'm going to be doing a number of facilities, starting with my home state of California. In some cases I'll be making guesses. For instance with Mather, while I could find where the ammo bunkers were, I was guessing at the size and number of them. This is true of the fueling facilities as well. I believe I know where they were for the most part but don't consider myself an expert on picking the correct size.
