Kashmir Fire has the wrong munitions for the Tejas

This is a bit of a problem I've noticed throughout the Kashmir Fire scenario set in that the devs haven't really fixed the airport magazines to account for the fact that the Tejas can no longer carry the Python 5 and instead must use the Archer which is not carried at all. This leads to them only being useful for one sortie at best and impossible to use at worst. I've seen four scenarios with this issue: Retaliation, Doomsday Clock, Flaming Dragon, and Thunder From The Sea. Doomsday Clock and Flaming Dragon also have a bit of an issue in that the Tejas's seem to be set up for air-to-air which is a bit of a problem since the versions available are too outdated to be able to carry Derby missiles. It would definitely be worthwhile to mess with the magazines.

Thanks for the report. I think the issues are the result of a DB update at some point.
Here's my planned changes. I'm going to swap the 2016 Tejas out for the 2021 FOC variant. I did a quick search and it looks like both the Mk1A and Mk2 are either delayed or still in development, so the 2021 variant seems like the best option. This will maintain the Python 5 capability they originally had in the scenario. This will also give them the capability to fire the I-Derby ER (55nm range vs the Derby's 40nm). Obviously, I'll also replace the Derbys currently in the air base magazines with I-Derby ERs. These changes should hopefully maintain most of the original scenario balancing.

Just an update: I recently installed the beta version on Steam and noticed that the Flaming Dragon scenario still has this problem with the Tejas's at Srinagar and Naliya.

You shouldn't be using the beta update anymore.
And unless you're looking at something else or I missed something, the scenario has been fixed.

It has been fixed at Halwara but not at Srinagar and Naliya.

Apologies, my mistake. That's the one scenario that's different. All the other scenarios only have Tejas at Halwara.
