My post from the build 870.4 thread, should have put it here in the start.

Has the MiG 29 9.12B thing been fixed? Last time I played CMANO, Serbia/Yugoslavia had the regular Soviet version MiG 29 9.12 (or ,,MiG 29A"), but the difference between MiG 29 9.12 (Soviet version), MiG 9.12A (Warsaw pact (Bulgaria, East Germany,...)version) and 9.12B (third countries (Iraq, Yugoslavia,etc.)) version is gigantic.

I don't know much about the Warsaw pact 9.12A version, I know that it is a little downgraded, but the 9.12B version has a radar that is almost two times weaker than the original one, I think that it can't carry all (non-nuclear) AA missiles that the regular version can, it doesn't have an IFF system and I think that it doesn't even have the flares/chaff system, although I am not sure about that last thing.

So could you please replace the Serbian and Iraqi MiG's with the downgraded ones that they really have? The English name for the 9.12B is ,,MiG 29B" I think, so maybe you'll find some info that way.

By the way, Serbia just received 6 MiG's 29 from Russia, 3 - 9.13 versions, 2 - UB versions and one - 9.12 version(original Soviet one), they are supposed to come in March 2017, also Serbia received 30 T-72S tanks (Shilden) and 30 BRDM-2 in that donation. More info about that, in Russian http://bmpd.livejournal.com/2338635.html

I just checked again, it says that Serbia has ,,MiG 29 Fulcrum A" , the Soviets have the exact same thing, but funny thing is that even though the name is same, Serbian one has a ,,Slot Back [N-019EB Rubin]" radar and Soviets have the ,,Slot Back [N-019 Rubin]" , so that is correct, BUT, both have 40nm range, even though the export EB radar has a range that is double less, so I guess around 20nm, there's probably some reliable info on the net.

Minor suggested change for the SA-2f/S-75M Volkhov facilities (DB3000 Facility_522, 231, 1459, 1706, 409, 1498, 1332, 1288, 1788, 269, 1621, 16, 1405, 1618; CWDB Facility_754, 909, 720, 961, 759, 964, 1637, 752, 318, 908, 1588):

The listed acquisition ranges of the SA-2f battalion may be too large. In the game, their FAN SONG radars are listed as having an 80 nm range. According to Jane's (IHS. "S-75 Family." Land Warfare Platforms: Artillery & Air Defence, 30 July 2015) , an SA-2f Bn used the E-band FAN SONG F illuminator. This is correctly noted in the database. What is incorrect is that the FAN SONG F had an acquisition range of only 60-120 km (32-65 nm). This is in contrast to the SA-2d and SA-2e-associated FAN SONG E, which operated in the G-Band, and had had a longer acquisition range of 75-145 km (40-78 nm).

Been waiting on this one because I haven't found details on the SAM and radar yet. If you can help with this it would move this forward.

Thanks!

DB entry 1906 - DDG 42 Mahan (Farragut Class) has 15 tons capacity of Oil fuel, while the smaller Knox frigates (db 1842) have a capacity of 680 tons. There also seems to be a large disparity in fuel consumption, the Farraguts use 1kg/min at cruise while the Knox use 37.77kg/min.

I'm wondering if there is an error with the Farraguts?

Edit: this is with db 447 and SR6 build 870.4

There might be.I know the Knox's are right and just fixed the Burke's due to some new info we got. I'll be do an audit soon but this will require some significant research. I may not get to it until C2 if the error isn't that bad.

Thanks!

US ANG F-15Cs should be have an available Sniper Pod loadout as of 2015.

Combat Aircraft (Oct 2016, "Guardsmen in Bulgaria", pp. 77-78)

quote:

"...and two of them (104th FW Mass ANG F-15Cs) also carried the Sniper targetting pod...The Sniper pod is cued by the F-15C's APG-63V(3) radar in order to know where to look to pick up aerial targets at long distances, and has fairly good air-to-air tracking capability. Thus, it has become a useful tool for the homeland air defense mission performed by the ANG Eagles...The Sniper pod, integrated on the F-15C, has been tested successfully in tracking slow-moving and even maritime targets."

The Florida Air National Guard's F-15Cs are some of the most advanced in the world, with many of them receiving the APG-63V3 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar. The "V3" as it is called, is a quantum leap in capability over the mechanically scanned array APG-63 and is considered to be one of, if not thee most power and capable air-to-air radar in the world. Also, the 125th FW is the first F-15C unit to incorporate the Sniper targeting pod for air-to-air use, allowing crews to identify targets visually at extreme ranges. To my knowledge, they remain the only unit that is fully operational with the Sniper pod at this time, a capability that will enhance their utility when it comes to intercepting foreign aircraft under various conditions.

The Air National Guard is ahead of the curve. In 2011, the reserve force began testing the Lockheed-made Sniper targeting pod on one of its approximately 130 Boeing F-15C fighters.
The Sniper pod, normally used to spot ground targets, includes much of the same technology as IRST and has “some pretty good air-to-air tracking capability,” according to Jon Sutter, Lockheed’s Sniper manager.
The two-year Sniper test was meant to improve the reserves’ ability to inspect suspicious aircraft at night—but the IR pod could also work against stealth planes. Northrop Grumman’s Litening pod reportedly has the same ability—especially in its new ATP-SE version.

The range and endurance seems about right, so it's not a big issue. The only real effect is that I can refuel it from empty 40 times off a single AOR 😀

Interesting but pretty sure this has been replaced with Legion and eventually Talon Hate. I've added both of those to the DB F-15C and F-16 loadouts.

Both of those are still in development while some F-15C ANG units are currently fielding Sniper pods. Given my druthers I'd take Talon HATE, though...

We still know too few about the 09V SSN, let alone the 09VI SSBN, 09VII, 09VIII SSBNs etc.

For what is worth, the recently completed giant roofed submarine production yard in the northeast will be mass-producing 09Vs according to rumors. So, the first leaked photo might not be too far away.

No worries. I'm not touching anything post 9IV for some time.

Any good speculation on what the towed arrays are or some sense of how good they are?
