Hi I have a small suggestion.

When looking at fore example SAM-system in the database viewer I have to manually look up the different missiles in the weapons category to get their envelope. Currently the data listed in the weapons category for the system is speed, range and warhead. To get an understanding of the all so vital maximum altitude I have to look up the missile separately. With systems with multiple ordnance this could get a bit frustrating since the database search function isn't exactly top notch.

Suggestions:
a. Increase the data field in the weapon system with the complete weapon envelope (maybe not a great idea since its a bit crowded as it is)
b. Hotlink weapons listed in the system, to the actual database entry for the weapon for easy access.

Anyway, Baloogans database viewer has all this covered so the data is easily searchable, but sadly not within the game. Currently a browser with that is running on a separate monitor

I'm not sure if this is available in build 507(If not it should be included in the next public build), but each unit now has a "Unit Weapons" tab with each weapon linked to the database.

If I would have known that it was this easy to implement new features, then I would have wished for something bigger

Looks great!

Usually it's not.
