<summary>Please look at the fuel burn rate for the US Navy FFG 62 Agility -- United States (Navy), 2026, FREMM-Based FFG(X)</summary>
<detail>
The new US FF(X) has a burn rate issue. The Italian FREMM Frigate starts with the same 20000 fuel units but at 18 knots cruise speed she has enough fuel for 1 week and 6 days. The United States Navy variant has the same starting fuel load but will burn her fuel in 8 hours and 8 minutes.

<type>Update</type>
<summary>Please add/correct Brazilian A-29B (#1839) and A-29A (#1840) loadouts </summary>
<detail>
The main issues are the incorrect number of 70mm rockets carried, missing rocket equipped loadout options and the capability to drop the Lizard LGB being missing.

The Brazilian Super Tucanos can be equipped with 7 and/or 19 70mm rocket capacity rocket pods, not 7 and/or 14 as depicted in the DB.
That means that Loadouts such as the HYDRA 70 Hi-Lo-Hi and HYDRA 70 Lo-Lo-Lo should be updated to carry 2x19 = 38 70mm rockets instead of 28.

Also, both versions should have a Lizard LGB Loadout consisting of 2x Lizard LGB (Mk 82) + 330L Drop Tank. The monoplace A-29A can carry/drop the LGBs but not target them.

Also, some relevant loadouts are missing for both versions:

HYDRA 70mm, Hi-Lo-Hi - 76x HYDRA 70 (4x 19RKT pod), 1x330L Drop Tank (No tank version also possible)
HYDRA 70mm, Lo-Lo-Lo - 76x HYDRA 70 (4x 19RKT pod), 1x330L Drop Tank (No tank version also possible)

HYDRA 70mm, Hi-Lo-Hi - 36x HYDRA 70 (4x 7RKT pod), 1x330L Drop Tank (No tank version also possible)
HYDRA 70mm, Lo-Lo-Lo - 36x HYDRA 70 (4x 7RKT pod), 1x330L Drop Tank (No tank version also possible)

Mk82 LDGP Hi-Lo-Hi - 5xMk82 LDGP
Mk82 LDGP Lo-Lo-Lo - 5xMk82 LDGP

Mixed Bomb/Rocket Loadouts

2xMk82 + 14xHYDRA 70 (2x 7RKT Pods) + 330L Drop Tank
14xHYDRA 70 (2x 7RKT Pods) + 1xMk82 + 2x330L Drop Tank

2xMk81 + 14xHYDRA 70 (2x 7RKT Pods) + 330L Drop Tank
14xHYDRA 70 (2x 7RKT Pods) + 1xMk81 + 2x330L Drop Tank

<summary>Add the Filipino Multipurpose Assault Craft (MPAC) to the database</summary>
<detail>
The MPAC is a Taiwanese-built patrol/assualt craft operated by the Philippine Navy. As of 2018, they had 9 boats operational, and 3 on the way. Apparently, as many as 42 total are planned. According to the Filipino government, 3 of the craft are armed with the SPIKE-ER missile system, and all can be armed with the missile system, along with machine guns and "a variety of other weapons."

<summary>Please make all Finnish Bae Hawks able to carry weapons</summary>
<detail>
Currently only the Hawk 51 -1981 and 1987 setups (#3193 and #3194) are armed, with quite obsolete weapons (AA-2a Atoll, weapon #1049 and RB-24J (AIM-9P-2), weapon #1760 respectively) that have only have got rear aspect IR targeting and have not been used by the Finnish Air Force for decades. No model available after 1997 seems to be armed.

However, as late as yesterday the Finnish Air Force published a video of a BAe Hawk 66 (#3191) launching a AIM-9M Sidewinder during an air defence exercise. It is very easy to see that it is a Mk 66 as it still has got the originally Swiss red and white paint scheme. The AIM-9M was purchased along with the Hornet fleet in the 90's, but the Hornets now primarily use the AIM-9X purchased as part of the first MLU in the 2000's.

The armament for each aircraft in combat mode is one 30 mm Aden gun (weapon #1080) in a gun pod under the fuselage and up to two AIM-9M Sidewinders. Together with this they can also carry two drop tanks if needed.

The Finnish Hawks also have received quite a lot of improvements to the electronics and avionics compared to standard Hawks, with a new completely rebuilt cockpit. All instruments have been upgraded to multi-function LCD- and HUD displays. There is still no integrated radar, but the planes are able to receive and transmit positions and situational awareness through a secure radio data network called Hawk Link. This is mostly used for fighter training, but can also be used for operational situational awareness through shared links with Hornets or ground based radars and combat controllers.

All remaining 32 Hawks (9x Mk 51, 7x Mk 51A, 16x Mk 66) have been updated in this way, the last ones in 2018.

An incredible open tool for weapons and military platforms, radars and any type of military hardware:

SBIRS is completely ineffective. It fails to detect any ballistic missile launches. Could the cause be the sensor range is set to 2,000nm? Since it's in geostationary orbit, shouldn't it be set to something like 20,000nm?

Also, there are now 5 SBIRS in orbit. We are missing 3.

AGM-158B-2 and AGM-158D seems to be different missiles:

It may be that the B-2 version has extreme range (over 1000 nm) and the D version has the same range and those additional datalinks for retargeting, in-flight updates etc.

[zclark]

Could be two separate missiles then. I read a Jane's article stating they were one in the same. Either way, it would be nice to have added.

<summary>Rafale F4 in 2022</summary>

<detail>
The F4 standard will include upgrades of existing capabilities, like the Thales RBE2 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, the Spectra (Système de Protection et d’Évitement des Conduites de Tir du Rafale or, in English, Self-Protection Equipment Countering Threats to Rafale Aircraft) electronic warfare system, the OSF IRST, the Thales Talios targeting pod, the Reco NG reconnaissance pod and the communications suite. However, there will be also important new capabilities, like the Thales Scorpion Helmet Mounted Display (HMD), the MICA NG (Next-Generation) air-to-air missile and the new 1000 kg variant of the Safran AASM (Armement Air-Sol Modulaire) “Hammer” Precision-Guided Munition (PGM), the 1000 kg AASM, the new variant will see the AASM kit applied on the BLU109 penetrator warhead or the standard Mk-84, according to the mission’s needs.

The Rafale F4 standard will be fielded in two stages, in 2022 and 2024, in order to have the new capabilities operational as soon as they are certified.
