I just noticed that the Danish don't have their 9x MH-60R while creating a scenario with Denmark. The first one got delivered recently. Not a high priority thing, but would add some neat capability to the Danish.

"The Royal Danish Navy announced its acquisition of nine MH-60R in December 2012. The program, valued at $686 million, was the first European foreign military sale for Team Seahawk. The Danish aircraft are configured for search and rescue or anti-surface warfare operations, including defending Danish interests in the North Atlantic, executing anti-piracy operations, and conducting other missions during international deployments. All nine aircraft will be delivered to the Danish government by 2018." - MH-60 official website.

That sounds to me like they will be using Hellfires for anti-surface operations, but i'll leave that up to you guys.

Designation corrections for Sweden.

C (numbers here) Aviocar should be SH 89, the designation is as a comment in-game but shouldn't it be at the start of the name so u can easily spot it as a maritime recon next to the SH 37?

Dash 8-300 MPRA has the designation KBV 501. (KustBeVakning, Coast Guard). The three planes are designated KBV 501, 502 and 503 respectivly.

RQ-7B Shadow 200 also has its designation UAV 03 Örnen, but its in a comment. Would be nice if it could get its designation.

Sperwer UAV should have the designation UAV 01 Ugglan.

It thinks im spamming phone numbers again. Cheers, Skjold.

Okay I'm re-opening this thread

Please keep requests relevant. We've pretty much reached the max length, width, height and depth for the Command version 1 database. I will only fix reported errors/inaccuracies in existing platforms and only make critical additions, i.e. units needed for a scenario currently under construction. Nice-to-have stuff will not be added.

Emerging projects/platforms that there isn't much reliable information on will be put on hold until enough material is available to create a accurate representation in the database. Hypothetical stuff will not be added unless there are exceptionally good reasons for it.

Also, I will not add the countless tiny navies and air forces around the world. These have been requested but the platforms' limited use doesn't justify the time and energy needed to add them to the database. Sorry guys!

I am re-directed my limited Command time (which is squeezed inbetween family life, day-job, workout, and various other interests) to write code. I've finally started implementing various missing elements needed before I can begin working on the Advanced Strike Planner. If there is a platform or error correction you consider extremely important (...enough to justify spending time on adding / fixing, rather than working on code) then feel free to post. If not then you'll find me buried deep down in the Command game engine.

Thanks!

As long as support of already existing DB platforms is provided, I'm fine with this! One question though: When Mike locked the thread up, some of the most recent requests were appearantly deleted. Are these lost entirely?

The C-17 entry in the database shows the aircraft as having a RWR and a FLIR. According to a pilot friend of mine, the aircraft does not have either of these.

For the FLIR, was this to represent pilots wearing NVGs? Because they can do that.

Not a big deal, but I thought I would share.

Requesting the anti-ship SM-6. For anybody building a China vs US scenario this will be critical.

DEFSEC Carter announced it when the FY17 Budget was released
“We are going to create a brand-new capability,” Carter told reporters in San Diego on Wednesday. “We’re modifying the SM-6 so that in addition to missile defense, it can also target enemy ships at sea at very long ranges.”

Also known as the SM-6 Block IA.
While the news is out, the question remains as to what modifications the missile will need to be effective against the Raytheon officials told USNI News last month during the Surface Navy Association that work underway on the Block IA program.

On the actual designation, there is no information, but it will most likely be designated the RIM-174A-2, since like the SM-2 a numbering change in the Block(i.e. Block IA) does not warrant a letter change in the actual designation to RIM-174B

Deployed by 2018
In 2013, the deputy defense secretary directed an SM-6 "future capability demonstration," which is expected to involve an at-sea demonstration in FY-16 and operational deployment by FY-18, according to Navy budget documents.

GPS added
"SM-6 Block IA is an enhanced version of SM-6 Block I with guidance section hardware and software modifications, and [Global Positioning System] added to achieve common coordinate reference to enable SM-6 to continue to pace the threat," O'Rourke said.

“The big difference we can talk about is that it adds a GPS capability,” Raytheon said.

Land Attack capabilities
The upgraded SM-6 would give commanders another option for striking targets at sea or on land, augmenting current inventories of Tomahawk cruise missiles as well as the planned Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile, said the former official.

I've been wanting to request a few additions to the entry for the Australian Hawk 127 LIFT:

Probe refueling (see below pic)

30mm gun pod as an option for A/A and A/G load outs. This is a well known and often used weapons system for the Hawk 127 - http://www.airforce.gov.au/Technology/Aircraft/Hawk-Fighter-Trainer/?RAAF-9fFc0zNz47KFOWz+8bfp/DTtS+SDzyxb

Addition of GBU-12B/B load out. Details are hard to come by, but the RAAF states they are capable of dropping LGBs--and the Hawk is rated for 500lb bombs, so I think the 500lb GBU-12B/B would be logical. I can't find any photos or info about designation though, so I think that this would need buddy designation. - http://www.airforce.gov.au/Technology/Aircraft/Hawk-Fighter-Trainer/?RAAF-9fFc0zNz47KFOWz+8bfp/DTtS+SDzyxb

Thanks very much for your time.

Operational dates: 1977-2008


Dash 8 Q 300
Operational dates: 2009-present

Surveillance sensors and SAR equipment
“The Dash8 Q300 MSA´s primary sensor for long range, large area surveillance and detection is the Elta EL/M – 2022 (V) 3 maritime search radar. The antenna is installed in a randome underneath the center of the fuselage, thus giving the radar a full and unobstructed 360°field of view. Thimynd5_ASs radar is capable of detecting small targets in rough seas as well as larger targets at ranges up to the radar horizon when the aircraft flies at its maximum operating altitude of 25,000 ft. To facilitate closer inspection of targets the MSA is equipped with Wescam MX-15 which provides stabilized day and night imagery. It also allows the operator to read ship names in very low light conditions. The aircraft will also be quickly detect and map any pollution at sea. The aircraft is equipped with a large rear cargo door which can be opened in flight for dropping of life rafts and other survival equipment.” --http://www.lhg.is/english/icg/about-us/air-assets/tfsif/

“The sole Landhelgisgæslan plane (TF-SIF) uses the same sensor suite as on Sweden's Q300s – an EL/M-2022(V)3 search radar, [7] a SSC/Saab SLAR, a Wescam MX-15 EO/IR turret, and an Argon AA 3503 line scanner, all under a Mission Management System by L-3/IS. The Icelandic Q300 also features the Field air-openable rear door with chutes for air-dropping flares and SAR survival packs.” --http://www.casr.ca/ai-dash8-q300-special-mission-patrol.htm

Do you know which gun pod is used? And it is isn't a very common type, the specs?

If you cannot find any photos of the a/c carrying GBUs it probably means it isn't actually used
