THAAD Battery Wont Load as Cargo

Good Evening

Build: 1483
DB: DB3K_508

Currently the THAAD Battery wont load into a military base as cargo either whole or broken into individual components. This means it can't be air transported. All other air defence systems i've used so far seem to load fine. It's also not listed in the cargo list to be added direct. To replicate just try load an existing THAAD into a military base.

Thanks for your time

Real-life related, coincidental...the US Army just announced that they are planning a smaller scale THAAD unit due to limitations around fitting into existing modes of cargo transport.

But it is air transportable, the one for Israel arrived on C-17's I believe and should definitely fit into a military base in game. I don't mind if i have to break it down to transport it, but for comparison you can load a full Patriot battery as cargo in to 1x C-17 currently in game.

Not saying that's not all true. The Army obviously wants them smaller.

I imagine it probably takes about 7 C-17's for the vehicle components (3x C-17 for the launchers, 2x C-17 for the Radar & 2x C-17 for the Command vehicles, plus 95 soldier and the missiles themselves.

22 flights so far according to MenchOsint, but perhaps they are transporting more stuff besides the THAAD battery.

There are more elements besides the TELs and a radar.

My estimates were just on the weights and dimensions of the vehicle components only and i was unsure just how many comand/fire control vehicles there were. May well pack lighter to avoid air refuelling.

Yes, of course.

There are a lot of details that are not known.

There are constant C-17 flights from US to Israel. We are a critical part of their military supply chain and vice versa.

Reportedly a U.S. Army Convoy near Beersheba on the move, many support vehicles part of a THAAD battery.

Looks like this is true for other facilities as well it seems really hit and miss some facilities can move and be loaded, some can move but not be loaded , some can't move or load despite being labeled as mobile vehicles. If it will help i'm happy to go through UK and US facilities and make a list of individual facilities that need changing. not sure if this is normal tech support or a DB issue.

Thanks

This is a database issue and should be posted to the database GitHub.
