Hi Mark

Do you know that you can add and remove weapons, mounts and sensors in the editor? To a large extent these kinds of units are exactly why we added the functions.

Will add these to our to-do list but we do have a good deal in front of it.

Thanks!

And, of course, I'd be happy to see as many of the specific models as can be added, if the data for them is available.

Rivet Joint: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/104608/rc-135vw-rivet-joint.aspx - “The Rivet Joint's modifications are primarily related to its on-board sensor suite, which allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.”

EA-6B (ICAP III, ALQ-218 system): http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2008/09/29/385385/151114/en/U-S-Navy-Awards-Northrop-Grumman-125-Million-Contract-to-Produce-Fourth-Lot-of-Airborne-Electronic-Attack-Systems.html - “The new ALQ-218 receiver is the heart of the ICAP III Prowler, as are the sophisticated algorithms that allow selective-reactive jamming and precision threat geolocation capabilities.”

EA-18G (which also carries the ALQ-218): http://www.militaryaerospace.com/articles/print/volume-17/issue-4/news/news/ea-18g-designers-blend-new-and-existing-technology-for-new-electronic-warfare-jet.html - “The Growler will also feature the Super Hornet’s new APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, which enables simultaneous tracking and targeting of multiple air and ground targets. Combined with the ICAP III AN/ALQ-218 EW Receiver Suite, which provides precision passive radar threat detection, identification, precision geolocation and jammer control, the Growler will have unprecedented situational awareness.”

F-22A (Software Increment 3.1 fielded in 2012): http://www.defensenews.com/article/20111213/DEFSECT01/112130310/Final-F-22-Raptor-Rolls-Off-Production-Line - "This increment is designed to defeat air or surface threats in any threat environment; operational test and evaluation is nearly complete," Knuteson wrote. "So far, precision geolocation accuracy exceeds the requirement by 15%, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) map accuracy exceeds specifications by 55%...”

P-8A: http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2012/10/04/495140/10007233/en/Northrop-Grumman-s-Electronic-Support-Measures-System-for-the-P-8A-Poseidon-Receives-Official-Nomenclature.html - The AN/ALQ-240(V)1 electronic support measures system will provide a significant increase in capability for operations in the complex maritime battlespace. The adaptive tuning, precise direction finding and geolocation capabilities of the ALQ-240(V)1 will allow P-8A aircrews to detect and identify radar and other electronic threats to the aircraft and Navy vessels.”

I posted this on the main forum in a thread about the geolocation capabilities of modern ESM systems, but I thought I would post it here too and request a db update. Based on the below links, would it be possible to modify or create these ESM systems to include range information: ALQ-218, ALR-94, ALQ-240(V)1, and "Rivet Joint ESM." The Rivet Joint would probably also require a new a/c version, as the only one currently in the db is good from the 1970s on - when single-aircraft geolocation would have been considered a total pipe dream!

Finland Hamina-class is without SONAR and ASW-weapons:

The sonar suite includes a Simrad Subsea Toadfish active high-frequency search and attack sonar, and a Sonac/PTA towed array sonar. Not sure which model it is, but it can be added same Toadfish sonar in Rauma-class SS2400 Toadfish.
1 ×  rail for depth charges or mines (depth charges are normal load)
1 x Sonac/PTA towed array sonar

Also speed for Hamina is 30+ knots. I know that they can go much faster with their state of the art water propulsion jet. Adding few knots wont do bad. True high speed is classified, but 35 knots can be easily achieved. Older Rauma class can go at least 35 knots too, which Hamina replaced.

Hämeenmaa minelayer is without mines. From 2009+ new mine can be added: Sea Mine 2000 - bottom, Acoustic & target Discrimination. Older version use bottom mines.
4 × rails for 100-150 mines

One interesting what-if is the 747 CMCA variant, a bomber/missile carrier proposal for the 747.

Have added the request but if you could post some links it would really help us out.

F-23 could only carry four aim-120 instead of six.

And I'm not sure about the status of the X-47B entry ingame. If it is meant to be a placeholder for UCLASS, I'd suggest removal for the time being. There's no firm info on it, we won't even know the preferred airframe for at least another year. That means some possible substantial change later on. X-47B itself was never meant to be operational.

LCS Will have Longbow Hellfire instead of Griffin IIB as interim ASuW weapon, for now at least. However I'm really worried about it's ingame lethality against surface target due to the HEAT warhead type.

I would like to add a low priority request for runways to allow two fighters to take off at once. This is quite common place and makes a big difference on intercept missions in getting the extra fighters off the ground quicker.
