Another missing facility is the French Pluton theater ballistic missile. Seventy were deployed and it was in service from 1974 to 1993 and was launched off of a TEL on an AMX-30 tank chassis than gave it a top speed of 60 km/h with a 600km range. The missile weighed 2,423 kg and had a minimum range of 17km and a maximum range of 120km, with a CEP of 150m. It used inertial guidance and flew at 1100 meters per second with either a 15 kt nuclear warhead, a 25 kt nuclear warhead, or a conventional 500 kg HE warhead. It was often apart of divisions escorted by the AMX-10P IFV and supported in the field by the R20 combat reconnaissance drone (which is also missing from the database.)

Another weapons system that's missing are the ballistic missile variants of the Chinese B-611. It has a range of 150km to 450km depending on the variant and was first publicly shown in 2004 with a newer variant being first shown in 2006. The variants include the baseline B611 with a 500kg warhead, the B611M with a 480 kg warhead and a range between 80 and 260km, and the B611MR an ARM semi-ballistic missile first shown in 2014 that uses inertial GPS guidance and a wideband passive radar.

most of the combat vehicles I've mentioned were/are the MAIN combat vehicles for whatever nation I specified. I haven't simply been looking through the database for every little thing that's missing, I've been playing/improving existing scenarios and been looking through what I can add to make them more realistic/detailed.

quote:

Even items like the two commercial aircraft I posted about hold some importance because they can be used in creating realistic military scenarios quite well, items like the Boeing 737 and 720 were at their times prominent civilian airliners that would clog international skyways in times of conflict (and can even from a distance be mistaken for actual military assets such as tankers/AWACS aircraft or ASW aircraft like the P-8.)

quote:

I'd like to know what you think some of the exceptions are, cause so far most if not all of the AFV's that I've posted about here have some sort of unique function to them that gives them a purpose to be used

quote:

And you're also taking great leaps of faith in regards to how the community would use that assets. They don't all have to be used in one MASSIVE CPU chugging scenario

quote:

they would serve the exact same purpose that all the other commercial aircraft that are in the game serve.

quote:

Since all AFVs have "General Armour: None", from the generic ammo trucks to the M1A2 and T-90, there's no survivability difference and since, iirc, all AFVs can reach the same top speed there won't be a major difference in maneuverability either.

quote:

What I stated was that this seems to be requesting unnecessary amounts of detail, and in scenarios unnecessary amounts of detail translates to high AU... Do I think all of the requested units will be used in that style of scenario? No, I do not, but I am stating that detail that may not always be necessary can reduce playability.

quote:

When exactly did I say that all requested units would be only used in massive scenarios?

quote:

In other words, they would be superfluous.

quote:

You understand that it's set like that because academic and military customers can adjust those values to match real world specifications, most of which like the armor is highly classified or specific to each unit (so rather than give most likely wrong approximations that would need to be adjusted by the customer anyways I assume CMANO just decided to leave that value as the same for all units.)

quote:

The addition of these units wouldn't take away from anything, but only give additional units for people/commercial entities/militaries to work with and create their own scenarios.

quote:

All that statement shows is a lack of understanding for the purpose for any of the commercial aircraft in the game and a blatant insult to the work the CMANO devs put into adding each one of them in.

quote:

You said that when you indicated that the units addition would cause performance issues, as the only way that would occur is in massive scenarios involving those vehicles (which are once again irrelevant to customers such as governments or academic organizations who most likely run CMANO on supercomputers or at least high performance setups.)

quote:

With that kind of logic CMANO would have half the armor it has now and only from about maybe 10 different nations.

Well as I said in the previous post of mine, most of the combat vehicles I've mentioned were/are the MAIN combat vehicles for whatever nation I specified. I haven't simply been looking through the database for every little thing that's missing, I've been playing/improving existing scenarios and been looking through what I can add to make them more realistic/detailed. One prominent example would be the South Korean/American vehicles I've posted here. I've been playing a fair bit of North vs South Korean scenarios and found that there are a good bit of assets missing from the South side and came here to post about them. Same thing goes for the various Warsaw Pact vehicles I've posted here, I've been playing a fair few East vs West scenarios and found that these frontline country's forces that NATO would've initially fought before the Soviets could airlift in the bulk of their forces are missing.

Even items like the two commercial aircraft I posted about hold some importance because they can be used in creating realistic military scenarios quite well, items like the Boeing 737 and 720 were at their times prominent civilian airliners that would clog international skyways in times of conflict (and can even from a distance be mistaken for actual military assets such as tankers/AWACS aircraft or ASW aircraft like the P-8.)

And I fully expect for there to be some sort of priority list of stuff the dev team has to work on, and while I don't expect any of my recommendations to be prioritized over anything else currently on the docket I do believe that they all have a purpose in the game and that their inclusion would add meaningful detail to many scenarios the community has already published (and in some cases create the catalyst for scenarios with the countries that are missing their current armor/any armor in their entirety) otherwise I wouldn't have taken the time out of my day to even post about them.
