Both these load outs are described as APKWS II but have conventional Hydra rockets not APKWS II. Thanks K Have amended it with screen shot of the issue.

Dysta,
Noted for possible inclusion.

Thanks for the recent great DB updates! Can you add RIM-174A ERAM SM-6 Blk 1A and Aster 30 Blk 1 (ABM) as weapon records so we can use the scenario editor to add it to units?
Orca,
Noted for possible future DB inclusion. Any references/documentation that you can provide will help the process.

Sorry I might have not explained the request clearly, or maybe I’m missing something.
But I think both are already included in the database as they are visible when I browse the db viewer. However they don’t seem to be available as options when I’m adding a weapon to a mount in the scenario editor (even though I can see them in the db viewer).
Does this make sense? If not I can to to post a screenshot later.

Any chance we could get the CA-134 Des Moines Hypothetical build (CWDB #2590) transferred over to DB3000? I think there may be a use for her and at least one of her sisters in the later Northern Fury scenarios.

Bart,
I'm sure it can be done. Need to check with the folks to see if there is a reason for not doing it.

Orca,
Hmmm. My first check of DB3K_477.dbe showed that the RIM-174A can be carried by the below listed platforms. The Aster 30 is not there but will be included in the next DB release.
The current BAT (#1190) that's in the database doesn't have all it's proper weapons platforms. It was an Anti-Tank munition that was launched from either the M270 MLRS onboard the MGM-164 ATACMS missile (of which carried 13 BATs) or from the MQ-5A/MQ-5B drones (these drones already have been implemented). The munition finds vehicles to attack with its acoustic/infrared sensors, not a laser track sensor as it has right now (the laser type of guidance was only added to the GBU-44 Viper Strike variant of the BAT.) Once a target is identified it fires a rocket motor to propel it at speed to the target. It uses a tandem charge warhead to penetrate targets. Source: Wikipedia for the BAT
The GBU-44 Viper Strike is also missing one of it's weapons platforms as it can be equipped onto both versions of the KC-130J Harvest Hawks in the database. Source: Wikipedia for the KC-130J.

#3173-AC-130J Ghostrider only has it's internal weapons available, it's missing the weapons that it can also equip onto it's wings. These would be any combination of four of either the AGM-114 hellfire missile, GBU-39 SDB, and GBU-53/B SDB IIs on each wing. Source: Wikipedia for the AC-130.

There are 3 version of RIM-174A in the db. The RIM-174A ERAM SM-6 Blk 1A-- 2017, ABM, anti-surface (#3541) has no default weapon carriers and is not visible in the scenario editor add weapon record window. Please see attachment. Thanks again.
All variants of the Maverick are also missing the capability to be equipped onto any of the: AH-64's (four missiles), any of the AH-1W's (two missiles), and the Iranian AH-1J (also two missiles as famously used during the Iran-Iraq war.) Source: Wikipedia article for the AGM-65 (see citation four and 26.)
South Korea is also missing their eight AH-1J's that were in service since 1977 and their 62 AH-1S's that first entered service in 1988. (Source: SIPRI Arms Transfers Database)
Just to put something I posted in another thread in it's proper place:

I found a small bug in the new DB. It is found in the Romanian F-16s (Aircraft #4402 & #4403) and the issue is shown in the image below. It happens in the same load-out in both aircraft.

The Charles F. Adams class DDGs were produced in two groups (commonly referred to as "A" and "B"). The only difference I see is the CF Adams A mount a dual rail Mk 11, while the CF Adams B mounts a single arm Mk 13.
Mike,
DDG 14, Buchanan, added with Mk13 mount replacing the Mk11. Should be in the next DB release (if I didn't screw something up).

Gonçalo,
This is interesting. The only pertinent information I could immediately find re the AN/ALQ-31 is "ECM Jammer Pod; manufactured by North American; AN/ALQ-31A used two of AN/ALQ-32/35/41/51/55, AN/ALQ-31B used AN/ALT-16/17/19/21; used with EA-3B; EA-6A, A-1, A-4" at http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/jetds/an-alq2aly.html#_ALQ. Could also find nothing at Baloogan's reference site.
If you can provide any more reference material/documentation on the AN/ALQ-31 that would be a great help.
-Wayne

It'll be tricky to provide documentation that the RAF/RN/AAC never procured a particular system but I'll do my best to address each point.
Well, this has taken me many hours of dredging through the depths of the internet to find as much info as I can, I hope it was worth it! Hopefully it's enough to get at least some of my changes through, if you have a problem with any them give me a shout and I'll have another crack at digging up some dirt.
Ben,
This information is a help. Thanks for providing it. You won't see an immediate DB update but it will likely (as much as possible) be included in the next DB release.
Thanks,
-Wayne

Perhaps this might help get the best details on the Mexican Naval platforms I'd like see in a scenario I'm inventing?

Oh, my bad, I should have been clearer! The issue is not with the jammer itself, it's just that the load-out should have one AN/ALQ-131 pod, but it says that it carries "0x AN/ALQ-131 DECM Pod". When I tested this load-out in a test mission, the aircraft did indeed not carry the jamming pod. The pod in question is used by the Romanian Air Force and is used in other load-outs in the same aircraft in-game.

Gonçalo,
Ah ha!!! I contributed to the problem. From your initial post I was looking for an AN/ALQ-31 and was having a devil of at time since there is no such entry in the DB3K database. Now that you have pointed out that it should be an AN/ALQ-131 I can do some more checking.
Thanks for the help - 1 digit makes a world of difference especially when I do not know of all the valid sensors out there!

Wayne, have any of the bugs/missing units I've pointed out been added to the work list yet? I only ask because you've responded to everyone else's messages for the last few days, but none of mine.
