#1516 - 625 liter Drop Tank"
There's no "625 liter Drop Tank" on Super Étendard. There is a 600 liter centerline fuel tank ("RP 24" with 480 kg of fuel) and a 595 liter underwing fuel tank ("RP 1 SE" giving 476 kg of fuel).
Thus I suggest to:
- duplicate "#1516 - 625 liter Drop Tank", name it "600 liter Drop Tank" and set its Fuel quantity to 480 kg;
- duplicate "#1516 - 625 liter Drop Tank", name it "595 liter Drop Tank" and set its Fuel quantity to 476 kg.
----------------------------------------------
LCQ
Please create a new mount named "LCQ" (for "Lance-Cartouches de Queue", literally meaning tail cartridge launcher).
It's fitted instead of the drogue parachute and does provide 3*5 flares ("#560 - Generic Flare Salvo [3x Cartridges, Single Spectral]" could probably be used there).
As far as I know, it was fitted on French aircraft in the late '80 whenever MANPADS were a threat.

http://www.ffaa.net/squadrons/11f/images/11f-0026.jpg (1999, one can tell the drogue chute ain't there, at least for the two on the left, unsure about the "tanker".)

#2593 - Anemone -- 1995
Date: is 1994 (first SEM operational by November that year).
Abilities:
- does not provide information on contact's Speed nor Heading.
- it does have a Ground Mapping mode.
- it operates in the I/J-band with frequency agility, and have a Track-While-Scan ability. (is it useful to the database?)
----------------------------------------------
#420 - Alkan 5081 Chaff/Flare Pod
- "Alkan LL 5081" (LL for "Lance-Leurres" aka Decoy Launcher) can carry 5*8 Flares ("C 801" 60mm magazine) or 5*18 Chaffs ("C 803" 40mm magazine), not both. As far as I know, it's preferably fitted with flares.

General Data:
- Empty Weight: 6605 (with pilot, w/o pilot it's 6510, unsure what is the standard in the DB).
- Max Weight: 11 900 (max T/O weight from carrier).
Sensors: delete the "Spirale" DECM, none of my sources mention any internal DECM solution.
Mounts:
Unsurprisngly to any early european jets enthusiast, the Super Étendard's internal two DEFA 552 30 mm cannons actually are mounted onto a gun pack ("Châssis canon" in French parlance) hosting them and their ammunitions, as you see can on that neat picture:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Chassis_canon_Super_%C3%89tendard.jpg
To make room for electronic goodies it ofen have to be removed, as you can see in that documentary describing how the emblematic Exocet loadout is being prepared:
http://youtu.be/5dHsYhuXeZw?t=28m30s (pay attention at 28:38 and 29:10)
A more contemporary example would be to carry a Rover modem during CAS over Aghanistan:
http://i.gyazo.com/114e5fa804fabd069e5929188083eb4f.png
Thus, I do suggest to:
- delete "30mm DEFA 552 x 2 (125 rnds x 2)" from all variants' mounts;
- clone #2571 - 30mm DEFA 552 x 2 Burst [50 rnds], to give that new version 250 rounds (125 per gun) and set its weight to 356 kg (which is fully loaded mass, while it's 237 kg without rounds. All figures are from Mirage 5 BA manual U-1-M5BA, "partie Planche", sheet 1-121).
Loadouts:
- Edit all loadouts where you do have 2 "625 liter Drop Tank" to have the "595 liter Drop Tank" you just created instead.
- Edit all loadouts where you do have 1 "625 liter Drop Tank" to have the "600 liter Drop Tank" you just created instead.
- "(Ferry)": add the new 30mm DEFA 552 gun pack (with its 250 rounds).(C2 loadout per the manual).
- "A/A: R.550 Magic", "A/A: R.550 Magic 2", "A/A: R.550 Magic 2 Mk2": delete the "625 liter Drop Tank". (I1 loadout per the manual).
Propulsion:
- Engine name: "Snecma ATAR 8K50" (http://i.gyazo.com/7a2adf82adfa6c5861ce8ec0ad577a73.png)
- Military Static Thrust at S/L: 4844 (4750 daN).
- Afterburner Static Thrust at S/L: 0 (doesn't have AB).
- Military Static SFC at S/L: 1.77 (was 2 kg/h/kg).
- Specific fuel flow with full AB: 0 (doesn't have AB).
It simply is a non-afterburning version of Mirage's Atar 9k50.
- Ceiling: 45 000 ft
Fuel: Quantity: 2598 kg (3247 l @0.8kg/l)

#790 - Super Étendard -- Argentina (Navy), 1982
#593 - Super Étendard -- Iraq (Air Force), 1983-1985
Loadouts: AM.39 Exocet", add a couple of optional "#1879 - R.550 Magic 1" (loadout "AS5" from the manual). http://www.aerohispanoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/e988a1da2.jpg
----------------------------------------------
#790 - Super Étendard -- Argentina (Navy), 1982
Stores & Loadouts:
- While the weapons might have been available and pilots trained to, I think that, based on the limited knowledge of it, Argentinian's Super Étendard wouldn't probably be "jeopardized" in WVR A/G mission, I would thus delete rocket and bombs loadout.
- Add "#1557 - Generic Recon Pod [Visual]" (to make up for a Thales Optronic Vicon 18 Serie 360-140A, of which I know nothing but the name) and create a Recon loadout with that pod plus two #1577 - 1100 liter Drop Tank

#593 - Super Étendard -- Iraq (Air Force), 1983-1985
Stores & Loadouts: Delete rockets and bombs from Stores and Loadouts, all sources agree that Iraqi SuE have been used for nothing but Exocet strikes and, back in France, pilots were only trained to achieve that. I would delete "A/A: R.550 Magic" loadout too.
Tom Cooper also says that there may have been up to 4 Exocet shot at Bushehr nuclear power plant (ie. a land target!):
http://www.angelfire.com/art2/narod/opera/
No other source confirm such use though, especially not the French.

#1275 - Super Étendard -- France (Navy), 1989
Stores:
- add #1779 - Phimat Chaff Pod -- 1979", while it was operational on Jaguar from 1978, no clue on when exactly it became available to the Super Étendard but in 1983 they definitely had it over Lebanon, my guess is 1980-81 (when their CV's storage were overhauled to fit the new equipment).
- add #174 - Barracuda [DECM] -- 1987", it was available from 1983.

----------------------------------------------
#42 - Super Étendard -- France (Navy), 1979
Stores: add "#1921 - AN.52 Bomb [25kT Nuclear]" to "#42 - Super Étendard", by 1980 that tactical nuc was operational on Super-Étendard aboard Clemenceau CV.
Loadouts: create a loadout with 1 "#1921 - AN.52 Bomb", 1 "#1577 - 1100 liter Drop Tank", 1 new "600 liter Drop Tank", 1 "#1779 - Phimat Chaff Pod" and 1 #174 - Barracuda [DECM]. (The only pics I've seen are obviously training one, so that is a guess based on AS2X.)

----------------------------------------------
#1828 - Super Étendard M -- France (Navy), 1995
Date: make it 1994 to 1998. 52 airframes were modernized.
Name: "Super Étendard M S2" for "Modernisé Standard 2". Standard 1 was a prototype only.
Mounts: add the new "LCQ" dispenser.
Sensors: swap "#2885 - Sherloc" with "#2889 - Type BF", Sherloc only with Standard 4.
----------------------------------------------
#651 - Super Étendard M -- France (Navy), 1998
Date: make it 1997 to 2002. Operational by April 1997, last operation in 2002.
Name: "Super Étendard M S3" for "Modernisé Standard 3".
Sensors: swap "#2885 - Sherloc" with "#2889 - Type BF", Sherloc only came with Standard 4.
Mounts: add the new "LCQ" dispenser.
Stores: add "#1906 - GBU-12D/B Paveway II LGB [Mk82]".
Loadouts:
- edit "AS.30L, Atlis II Pod [EO]" to have 1 "#1892 - AS.30L", 1 "#1771 - Atlis II Pod", 1 "#1577 - 1100 liter Drop Tank", 1 new "600 liter Drop Tank", 1 "#1779 - Phimat Chaff Pod" and 1 "#174 - Barracuda [DECM]".
http://www.ffaa.net/squadrons/11f/images/11f-0018.jpg
- create a loadout with 2 "#1906 - GBU-12D/B Paveway II LGB [Mk82]", 1 new "600 liter Drop Tank", 1 "#1779 - Phimat Chaff Pod" and 1 "#174 - Barracuda [DECM]" plus the new "30mm DEFA 552 gun pack" (with its 250 rounds).

Typical group of 1999 (1 "shooter", 1 "illuminator" and 1 "tanker", the later being known as "nounou" in French parlance): http://www.ffaa.net/squadrons/11f/images/11f-0026.jpg
Note:
- rockets are not cleared for operation aboard PACDG (CVN Charles-de-Gaulle), thus no more rockets from 2000.
- no more unguided bombs used from 1999 (Allied Force).
- It's only with Standard 4 that SEM will be able to guide their own GBU... and with Standard 5 that buddy lasing will be possible for the AS30L.
----------------------------------------------
#1744 - Super Étendard M -- France (Navy), 2003
Date: 2000.
Name: "Super Étendard M S4" for "Modernisé Standard 4". 47 upgraded airframes.
Sensors: add #4235 - Generic Night Vision Goggles. (a few veteran pilots were able to use NVG before but it only became widespread with NVG compatible cockpit.)
Stores:
- "#420 - Alkan 5081 Chaff/Flare Pod" might need to be added to the Stores as its already used in loadouts, you tell me.
- delete "#416 - BANG 125kg GPB" and "#415 - BANG 250kg GPB", and their related loadouts. No more unguided bombs used since 1999.
- add "#1771 - Atlis II Pod".
- delete "#479 - Damocles LDP Pod [FLIR + LRMTS, 40k ft]". While it have been made available circa 2005, it was with heavy restrictions on its feature, as far as I know, it was nothing but a glorified laser designator.
Loadouts:
- edit "AS.30L, Damocles LDP Pod [FLIR]" to have 1 "#1771 - Atlis II Pod " instead of the "#479 - Damocles LDP Pod [FLIR]".
- edit "AM.39 Exocet" loadout by deleting the "#43 - Barracuda NG DECM Pod", otherwise it would unbalance the loadout (no fly-by-wire here).
- edit "ASMP [300kT Nuclear]", by deleting the "#43 - Barracuda NG DECM Pod", otherwise it would unbalance the loadout (no fly-by-wire here).
- edit "CRM 280 Recon Pod [EO]", by deleting the "#43 - Barracuda NG DECM Pod", otherwise it would unbalance the loadout (no fly-by-wire here).
http://i16.servimg.com/u/f16/11/26/75/39/sem_de10.jpg
I guess that another solution would be to add a "#1878 - R.550 Magic 2 Mk1" as a counterweight.
- delete "Damocles LDP Pod [FLIR], Buddy Illumination".
- create a loadout with 1 "#1771 - Atlis II Pod ", 2 "#1577 - 1100 liter Drop Tank", 2 "#420 - Alkan 5081 Chaff/Flare Pod". http://i.gyazo.com/a6bbf42d89be351cf6ad6837336bbcff.png

- edit "Damocles LDP Pod [FLIR], Buddy Illumination": swap "600 liter Drop Tank" with "#1577 - 1100 liter Drop Tank". http://www.ffaa.net/ships/aircraft-carrier/charles-de-gaulle/images/cdg-000391.jpg
- from "GBU-12D/B Paveway II [Mk82] - Requires Buddy Illumination" and "GBU-49/B GPS/LGB [Mk82] - Requires Buddy Illumination", delete a "595 liter Drop Tank", then add to each the new "30mm DEFA 552 gun pack" (with its 250 rounds).

Note:
- light GBU loadout ain't for longer range, it simply allow to operate when temperature is way above the originaly designed 35°C max temperature.
-as of today, the last Flotille is planned to have been converted to Rafale in 2017.

- "ASMP [300kT Nuclear]" phased out by 2010, 2000N and Rafale operating the ASMP-A since then.

Voilà!
Now, just for fun, here's a short tribute video for the Super Étendard's 40:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n48UaREdI7I
"40 ans qu'on SuE, 40 ans qu'on SEM" is a pun: "SuE" (sweat) for "Super Étendard" and "SEM" (phonetic -> "s'aime", love) for Super Étendard Modernisé", that could be translated to "40 years we sweat, 40 years we love each other".
