DB Entry #1679 SY-400 MLRS [BP-12A Capability] is missing its BP-12A munition, I tried to give it some by adding a magazine but I couldn't find it.

Can An/SLQ-32(V)6 [SEWIP Block 2] be given to the hypothetical CG 21?

Got an issue with the Type 054A Jiangkai-II Frigate's HQ-16A SAM.
Tested them against close-by air-targets, but they do not fire. Weapon allocation screen says that it is unable to connect with mandatory datalink.


A look into the db entry for the 054A frigates shows that, while they have SA-17/SA-N-12 Command Datalink [8 Channels], they do lack the SA-17/SA-N-12 Missile Datalink that is required for the HQ-16A (but not the SA-17 or the HQ-16B). Same missile datalink also seems to be lacking for the HQ-16A SAM launcher facility, but I havent tested it yet whether it works or not.

So, I'd suggest to either add the required SA-17/SA-N-12 Missile Datalink for all platforms using the HQ-16A - or, in case of the Type 054A Frigate, give it the HQ-16B, which already went into service some years ago.

(Also, official sources about the HQ-16B state that it is an active radar missile and not semi-active: http://english.chinamil.com.cn/view/2016-09/13/content_7256402.htm)

Here are a some minor changes to DB3000 Weapon_1825 the SA-6a GAINFUL 9M336:

Database gives weight of 599 Kg, and a range of 1.5-13 nm, and an target altitude of 250-46,000 feet AGL, with a missile speed of 1290-1740 knts and a warhead of 59kg.

According to the sources below, these numbers should be (ussing the initial production Kub, IOC 1967):

Weight: 630 kg
Range: 3.2-11.9 nm
target alt: 328-22,965 ft
Warhead:57 kg

For the Kub-M3 (IOC 1976) the numbers would be:
Weight: 630 kg
Range: 2.15-13.50 nm
target alt: 65-26,247 ft
Warhead:57 kg

The sources below (except the OPFOR guide) also say the max speed is 600 m/s (1166 knts). OPFOR gives the missile speed at 700 m/s. However, this seems a little low to me, and I wonder if this 600 m/s represents the initial boost phase velocity.

Hello! Please add Audacious class into DB3000 too. It will be cool to use this CVs with Bucaneers in what-if Falklands War. =)

Quite certain they're already in there. NI #10 would be impossible without them.

There she is! DBID#669 BB 61 Iowa (Surface Combatant (Aviation Capable)

Any chance we could get her ported over to DB3K as it was considered for a late 80's conversion. Might be able to use her in an upcoming scenario.

Thanks
