Damn, I just saw that KLAB already requested this end of last year... You might still want to take a look at the video. At around 0:33 you get a glimpse on a specification board that lists the onboard sensors, weapons, countermeasures and the Link-16 datalink.
Updated DB version of Chinese Z-9C
Could you add a new version that comes with a light ASuW loadout? Following the first PLAN anti-piracy deployments in 2008 and 2009, a clouple of naval Z-9s were modified to allow the aircraft to carry one 19x57mm rocket pod plus a PC-1AY 12,7mm Gun Pod. Other visible changes include the relocation of the FLIR turret. Since then, it seems like a larger batch of Z-9Cs has been converted to this standard.
I tried to pinpoint an In-service date for this version, without success. The best I could come up with is that the earliest appearance of this version dates back to 3. March 2010 with the deployment of the 5th Chinese Naval Escort Flotilla to the Gulf of Aden. All previous Escort Flotillas, excluding the 4th, are known to have deployed with the Ka-27 or later the common Z-9 version.

Hope this is worth an add. Thanks in advance!

From the newest patch, there are some questions on the China related additions:
- I didnt find the HQ-19 ABM anywere. Or is the SC-19 suppossed to be the only ABM/ASAT system added?
- Also, the JD-16 Sino-Growler doesnt have a SEAD loadout, but only unarmed stand-off jamming? Sure, we havent seen any equipment on the JD-16 IRL either, but it would be logical for a dedicated ECM fighter to carry some ARMs like YJ-91s.
- Furthermore, the newer J-10C seems to feature an obsolete DECM system (Average Generic DECM) compared to its older J-10B brethren (Advance Generic DECM or even newer KG-600 DECM pod).
- ALso, I would like to again request that the Y-8Q gets a better surface search radar, since it is kinda illogical that the premiere ASW/MPA of the PLAN gets only a 25 nmi ranged surface search radar from the 70s. It's large radome under its chin would be capable to house at least a similiar radar as the much older Y-8X non-ASW capable MPA.
Chinese Military Aviation even suggests that the radar might be even a development of the British Skymaster/Searchwater 2000 radar equipped on China's older Y-8J surveillance planes.

I understand. But why delay the inevitable? Building a Wild-Weasel and giving it no approapriate anti-radar weapons makes as much sense as to make a Maritime Patrol Plane and giving it no long range surface search radar.
It is not that I request adding deathray cannons or quantum radars or anything (although there are indeed signs that are pointing to that direction).
In a few month time, I or someone else would surely come over to this thread and post pictoral evidence confirming those no-brainer speculations.[;)]
It did, the KD-800 (can't see that name IRL, could be a placeholder) is the radar jammer, you need to arm it first.ORIGINAL: Kitchens Sink
Does the aircraft also have another OECM capability that's not listed, like active radar jamming etc?
Thanks!
The NSM missiles were manually added by the scenario author onto those ships IIRC. Nothing that the devs can do, you would have to contact the scenario author himself (poaw I think) and describe the problem to him.ORIGINAL: TheCabal
After playing the "Tanker Wars 2017" scenario with a grouped ship of Littoral combat ships (LCS): They were supposed to have NSM Missiles but they actually don't. Because of that, the scenario can't be finished without these weapons.
The database gives no clue regarding those NSM Missiles. Maybe it needs adjustment?
HenriK believed that Project 8102 is for HQ-29, a counterpart of PAC-III with hundreds of microrockets around the warhead stage, purely intended for direct impact design:ORIGINAL: Dysta
For Hongjian's ABM suggestion, I recently find the CASIC video about Project 8102 terminal ABM system was officially nominated the First-runnerup of National Award at 2013.

The report is of course opaque, and only thing I heard from the video is some sort of rocket engine or course-changing system being developed. The only focus is the award. Sadly there's no image of what exactly the missile looks like, even it's just a terminal-stage model.
