I noticed that Italian Horizon class ship "Andrea Doria" should have TESEO Mk-2/A anti ship missiles but IG they don't have any. You put the exocet Anti ship missile on the french versions of the horizon so maybe you forgot about it ? Because without it, it doesn't have any A-ship capability... Thanks in advance
Went through a bunch of more recent pictures and didn't see the box launchers. Combat Fleets mentions that the are provisions for but that they hadn't been fitted as of publication. If you can find a photo we'll add.
For now if you need it just add the mount. The missile is and launcher are in the db (FREMM uses it).
Thanks!
Mike

A question...shouldn't rockets from MRLS like the Grad-21 be able to hit ships, too? Some of them can hit mobile units. If you can hit a mobile unit moving at 30 knots, shouldn't you be able to hit a ship (which is probably bigger than a tank or a truck) that's only moving at 15 knots (which is slower)? Or is there a reason why they can't be targeted against ships? Just curious. Thanks.
Some things to add / to change. SS-N-12 Sandbox (P350, P500, P1000) and SS-N-19 Shipwreck (P700) have a land attack submode. They are not the most accurate missles for land targets but with the help of their INS navigation they are capable to do that.
Germany 2014, Italy 2018 (both with Eurofighter), France 2018 (Rafale), Sweden 2015 (Gripen NG) will get the Meteor AA missle. Currently only UK is has Meteor in game.
The german ships of the Sachsen (F124) and Brandenburg (123) class can operate two medium sized helicopters and have place for them in their hangars. The Bremen class (F122) can handle medium sized helicopters only on their pad (hanger is for two small one - so hangar is already correct). Brandenburg(F123) class will get ESSM SAM in 2014, but I don't know if in quad or single packs.
Japanese 1-Go class patrol boats are missing. They are pretty much the same as the italian Sparviero class with different weapons. Instead of the 76mm gun they have a three barell 20mm M61 cannon and instead of the two Otomat missles they have four SSM 1B Type 90 missles. They have a ) General Electric LM500 gas turbine instead of the Rolls Royce turbine and are 3knots slower, only 47 knots.

That's an interesting statement . Care to elaborate?

I can't first hand or provide evidence, it only comes from being the son of a 30 year BUFF guy, the missile never really hit targets, I think my dad talked about hitting some research station miles away from the target (not sure if in or out of the impact area of the range) I remember it was a big deal because they had to close air lanes to shoot Utah from North Dakota - and it failed. There were other times where the motors just never ignited and the missile just plummeted to earth.
Think about it, the missile entered service in 1990ish and is already retired with the 86 having continued development and suggestions to create a conventional conversion of a stealthy missile were rejected in a world of dwindling numbers of missiles - with these 400 or so already built.

#567 B-52H 1991 AGM 129A has no AGM-129As in aircraft stores or loadouts.
Can you verify you're using the latest DB (403). With that model doesn't look that that version carries the AGM-129A. You may need to update the scenario you're working on to the latest DB.

Yes, I certainly can verify it. Here is a quick scenario built with build 484 and DB 403. Go to the ready/arm screen. No AGM-129A loadout option. Go to the database viewer, no AGM-129A is listed. The model is called B-52H AGM-129A 1991. Only ALCMs listed are AGM-86B and AGM-86C (The C isn't technically accurate for the H in 1991 - that was a G thing until late 92 early 93, but close enough really.)
Need some help digging up info to complete some of your requests. Combat Fleets 2013 and googling isn't coming up with much:
Indonesian missile boat KRI Clurit (KRC-40 Class)
Anybody know the sensors these vessels carry?
Australia- Stonefish Mk. III fine. Lots of Mk.II out there but not so much on Mk.III any details would help.
Myanmar- Aung Zeya Frigates- Need sensor info. Vast differences between internet sources and paper sources on what SSM's are carried.
Thanks!
Mike
I attended a defense trade show in Indonesia a couple years ago and I know for a fact that several sensors onboard are Chinese and not "integrated". I have a few pictures of the vessel, would that help you? If yes, PM or email me. Edit: I may even have the manufacturer's datasheet, but not much info on it IIRC

Yeah anything you could share would be great. Thanks!
some links: banqan.republika.pl/devices/devices_trd1222.html dziennikzbrojny.pl/artykuly/art,6,30,5320,lotnictwo,wyposazenie,stacje-radiolokacyjne-nur-12-i-nur-12m-n-12n-12m
TRD-1222 is quite important as it is a part of NATO long range radar network (along with RAT-31DL). It is upgraded version of TRD-1211 which is in database.
also: N-11 N-26 N-31 N-41
all listed here: banqan.republika.pl/devices/devices.htm
I can help with translation of technical parameters and finding additional data on these radars as most information is in polish language.
I've also added a couple of issues to the Google spreadsheet.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this one, but it looks like the Thomaston-class dock landing ship is not in the DB3000. (It is in the CWDB, so at least all the data should be available).

Requesting that the Mk 29 Sea Sparrow launchers on US Nimitz-class CVNs and later LHDs from ~2008+ be modified to include RIM-162D Evolved Sea Sparrow missile. Currently none of them carry it. I believe the D variant was specifically designed for use on these ships.

mx1, Any chance you have links and/or maps of radar types and locations in Poland, much appreciated if you do.

...need their own entries or not. Many are already in the database, but I don't know if the Mexican versions are unique in any way (sensors, etc.) or not.
More information (and other aircraft possibilities) are here...
Again, I know that it takes a fair amount of time and effort to add platforms to the DB3000. I would like to have these platforms added because I would like to write more scenarios involving Mexico, the USCG, etc. but I know it may take a while for that to happen.
mx1, Any chance you have links and/or maps of radar types and locations in Poland, much appreciated if you do.
Precise locations of TRD-1222 and RAT-31DL radars (NATO Backbone) provided as an KMZ file: drive.google.com/file/d/0B_vdeIgZhq1cVjF5Uk9MMUFkZ00/edit?usp=sharing
Right now I have only information regarding Air Force. Navy and Army have their own radars in addition to these. Currently used types are: - 3 units of NUR-12M + 3 units of RAT-31DL (see above), more NUR-12M ordered (4 more units?) - mobile medium range TRS-15 (NUR-15) - most probably 6 units, six more ordered - NUR-12 - mobile long range (predecessor of NUR-12M) most probably 7 units - NUR-31,NUR-31MK / NUR-41 (work in pair: 31 is range+direction 41 is altitude information) - unknown number, will be withdrawn from service after delivery of additional NUR-15 and NUR-12M radars. - AVIA W - general air traffic control
All types mentioned above are described on the official site of Air Force 3brt.wp.mil.pl/pl/12.html (add www before it). As for the location - they are mobile units (with the exception of NUR-31MK which is semi-mobile and AVIA W) so they can be deployed almost anywhere. The location of units operating them is known and I can provide KMZ for them as well. I still gather info on Navy and Army and will post it here.

Gregg I've been digging through my sources. As of 2011 all Carriers had this upgrade and 2 LHD's (Makin Island, Wasp) although doesn't look like others got it. America appears too. Any ideas?
I'll dig around further to see if I can find when the SSDS Mk 2+ updates were made.

From what I've seen all of the carriers plus the last two LHDs (Iwo Jima and Makin Island - Iwo Jima was one of the first SSDS Mk 2 ships and Makin Island had the system upon delivery), and soon the new LHA 6s starting with America. I had not heard about Wasp but that ship would probably be the next most likely to receive ESSM.
#2380 Type 052 Luhu [113 Qingdao] is missing the China SJG-2006 TASS that her sister ship class #2379 Type 052 Luhu [112 Haribin] has. #2380 indicates that it has the "New TASS".
