Hello.

I am looking at the Type 055 (#2834) in the latest DB version. I have noticed a few things that are off, based on what is known about the ship.

1. DB states the propulsion is CODOG. Whereas, the propulsion is really COGOG with 4x25MW gas turbines. A first for China. Is this difference modeled in the game. If yes, what is the effect?
2. DB states 2x large aircraft capacity. Whereas, there is room only for medium size helos.
3. DB has strange entries for the main radars: 4x Type 346A PAR and 4x Type 346B PAR. The current understanding is that the large PAR arrays are the new 346B variant. This is either a S/C band or a pure S band radar. The latter seems to be the more probable hypothesis given that the ship sports a set of 4 new X-band PARs on the integrated mast, which are conceivably tasked for horizon search and target illumination. I haven't heard what their designation may be.
4. DB claims the ship has a Type 517H-1 Knife Rest radar. I've seen dozens of photographs of the ship, and no sign of that radar on any of them. This role is probably taken up by the larger Type 346B PAR, especially so if it operates in S-band. The antenna dimensions of this radar appear quite similar to that of SPY-4. Impossible to tell how it matches up in performance. Might warrant a bump in max range, as it does appear larger than the Type 346A .
5. I am quite confident that this ship comes with ESM/ELINT capability: the top antennae on the integrated mast.

Unlike the f-22 db issue which was more the viewer oddity\bug, this one probably is best reported to the DB3000 request thread. It's the best place to request updates\changes to specific entries these days (you mentioned you've been away for a bit). The more specific and sourced the change\add request the better chance it'll get changed\added for the next db revision.
