(not just one wikipedia link that obviously hasn't been even looked at as its one line of test[:D])

Was that me? Sorry. I thought I had checked all of them to make sure they had some useful information (or at least basic data like the ship numbers, etc.)

One to add...

US Mk III Patrol Boat
http://www.warboats.org/mk3.htm

I think the Mk III is already in the database. It's listed as the Mk 3 Swift PB.

I thought those were referring to Swift Boats. The MK III I'm referring to were built by Marinette Marine and Peterson Builders.

Mexico is seriously thinking about purchasing L-59s or L-159s.

The Ulyanovsk CV is listed as having:

1xAircraft Carrier Arresting Gear
2xElevator
1xHangar
2xOpen Parking
1xAircraft Carrier Ski Jump

However, in all the images I can find, it appears there are also supposed to have 2xSteam Catapults and 3xElevator

Alot of sources also seem to suggest the primary SAM is SA-N-6/12 as opposed to SA-N-9 although I'll admit not everything I found agrees.

I know it was never completed but 1) some "what if" battles might be fun if the Cold War had gone into the 21st century and 2) China is apparently building this class so it might not be such a "what if" one day.

Hey Mike,
Can you confirm you are still working on these surface units (KCR was added since)

ORIGINAL: mikmyk

ORIGINAL: navyrecognition
mikmyk, do you have a status update regarding the addition of the following classes?
Abu Dhabi
Falaj 2
KCR40
SIGMA 10514 PKR
FMPV Kri Klewang

Abu Dhabi and Falaj 3- No progress. Hung up on sensor stats.
KCR-40: Will add soon
Sigma 10514 and Algerian SIGMA: Still waiting on final fits on these
FMPV KRI KLEWANG: will add soon.

[DeSade]

one of main reasons for #3464 MiG-31BM modification was integration of #915 - AA-13 Arrow [R-37M], also known as RVV-BD.
Its missing from available loadouts (up to 4, replacing r-33S)

http://www.janes.com/article/43640/mig- ... ve-air-ops

It also get possibility for medium range RVV-AE (also up to 4, possible mixed loadout 2xRVV-AE, 2xRVV-BD againd cruise missiles?):

http://www.testpilot.ru/russia/mikoyan/ ... ig31bm.htm

and finally, integration of lots of A2G ordnance, none of which was shown in field except of Kh-31P, which makes some sense (currently probably Kh-31PD/PM).

[edthebeast]

Can you please add the SU-37 Terminator? Based on an SU-35, but with added supermanoeuvre ability. Would like it for my SU-27 VS world Scenario. Can't post links, but would you mind googling it for me?
I assume it would be armed the same as the SU-35S
Thanks in advance

Anybody have any idea what Mexican F-5 loadouts are? Specifically what version of Sidewinder would help a lot.

http://www.demotix.com/news/1317436/squ ... ia-1317364

Shows an armament spread with 250lb and 500lb bombs, 7 and 19 round Hydra pods. Also looks like some kind of 4-round rocket launcher for the centerline pylon (better view here). Two AIM-9s on the wingtips, but not sure the type.

Translated from a 2004 post in a Mexican military forum:

As I said before a missile after a certain age if it is not given a coat of cat does not guarantee proper operation and for safety reasons is destroyed. The AIM 9B are the initial version of the Sidewinder and is limited to that you can only shoot towards the tail and half an enemy or high altitude, since in a white flying low is confused with the reflections of the earth. The AIM 9B were fine for the 60s of the 70 but now is obsolete material, I think they stopped making as 1972, so those old bought in 1982 and then ran. According to a source consulted, the sidewinders that used the FAM were part of Swedish origin Rb 24. According to other unnamed sources I consulted the FAM would buy Python III missiles. But many illusions are not made to buy missiles last generation, the Python IV worth more or less as 500,000 dollars per unit, the Python III as 300,000, the AIM 9L even sell us gringos, and also walks Magic as 500,000. Assuming you buy 4 aircraft to have a reserve accounts and would make it more expensive than what was paid by Swiss F-5. Other options besides Python III would get US permission to buy sidewinders G, J or P resale or the MAA-1 Pirahna series as they say has good performance and is less expensive.

http://extrafam.mforos.com/1608735/5635 ... iger-i-ii/ (in Spanish, but suggests the AIM-9P Sidewinder is the one used by the Mexican air force).

http://mexaeroespacial.blogspot.com/201 ... uerza.html <-- in Spanish, but says the AIM-9P is used by the Mexican F-5s (thank you, Google translator)

http://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/Publi ... tudy_4.pdf <-- does not talk about the F-5s too much but is a general study that might prove useful

http://www.ausairpower.net/TE-Sidewinder-94.html <-- history of the sidewinder; does not list which countries use which versions, but lots of interesting and perhaps useful data

http://yanlowang.wordpress.com/2013/04/ ... ce-part-2/ <-- not sure how reliable this is, but this also claims the AIM-9P is the missile on the Mexican F-5

I hope this helps.

[Mgellis]

Just as a general reference...

http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guida ... t?OpenPage

This provides links to a large number of .pdf fact sheets (they're about 5-10 pages each) kept by the Federal Aviation Administration. You have to click about three different links to get to the .pdfs, but they are there. Lots of technical data, although I don't know if it is what the developers specifically need when adding new aircraft to the database (the ones I looked at did include the size of the fuel tank, which may be helpful in some cases).

I hope this helps.

I think I know what the problem is. You are listed as only have four posts so far. I can't remember, but I think you have to get to something like 10 or 20 posts (at which point you are promoted to "trooper" and get one gold star) to be allowed to post links, attachments, etc. It is probably a tool employed to defeat potential spammers.
