smudge56 -> Database question. (10/10/2013 7:10:15 PM)

Please don't shoot the pigeon. I had a look at the uk aircraft carriers but couldn't find the new ones which are being built. Is it because they are still being built and won't be active inthe near future? If I missed them I'm sorry.



Der Zeitgeist -> RE: Database question. (10/10/2013 7:14:52 PM)

They're in, look for "R08 Queen Elizabeth".



smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/10/2013 7:20:06 PM)

See I knew I bloody missed them. Thanks mate[sm=00000734.gif][sm=00000734.gif]



bsq -> RE: Database question. (10/10/2013 7:26:19 PM)

And there is a serious issue with the magazine contents of the class.

We, the UK, do not use cluster munitions any more.
There are no slots for AMRAAMs
The SRAAMs would be AIM-132 not obsolete AIM-9L
PAVEWAY II's would be III's

The loadouts for the F-35B are so out of kilter with the ship intended to operate them, you could not use them at all [:(]

Blimey didn't realise that.



bsq -> RE: Database question. (10/10/2013 7:32:20 PM)

Who ever built it copied the contents of the 'Ark' - oops [:-]

No reason not to use them in your scenario, though, you can change the magazine loadout to something more realistic!



smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/10/2013 7:38:03 PM)

Yeah doh forgot that. Lol.

I'm impressed they are in.

By the way which version are they as the government kept changing it's mind whether to have catapult or not.

Granted, but it should be fixed because it is a blatant error and a more realistic load out would take a long time to set up and would only be relevant to that instance of the ship (with the underlying DB carrying the error).



mikmykWS -> RE: Database question. (10/10/2013 9:50:09 PM)

Logged a ticket to have it looked at. We can update but right now its still speculative as the ships aren't in service yet and the air group loadouts haven't been established. So not really sure too many delta's are worth it especially when you can easily add records yourself. We'll take a look though and make any changes that make sense. If anybody has any links to good sources please do post.

Thanks!

Mike

Fixed [8D]



smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 8:28:03 PM)

As the government kept changing its mind and penny pinching. Are they catapult capable or not?



smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 9:02:13 PM)

Just been looking into these new carriers I found out that there were proposals to build some big carriers in the 60's designated CVA-01 as again politicians cancelled this project. Not important at the moment it would be nice to have these in the database.

A question to our resident Royal Navy person as at the moment we don't have any carriers how are we keeping up our carrier based training? Obviously over time skills are lost.



mattpenfold -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 9:47:00 PM)

I imagine that we send people off to train with the Italians, French, Spanish and Americans. Or maybe we just don't don't bother. Both scenarios are possible.



smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 10:08:51 PM)

Great all that experience and knowledge lost then we start all over again from the beginning.

They're training with US Marine Pilots.

smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 10:28:50 PM)

Thanks for that mike sounds like they have ground crew there as well. I was wondering also operating a carrier requires, obviously experience in working in that environment. Now I know we have our helicopter carrier so I suppose some of our experience will still be kept going with that. But carrier operations are different I'm just concerned of the gap between scraping our old carriers and the time when we eventually get the newer larger carriers. Also where will they operate from and will these ports need upgrading?
I find this subject very interesting.



bsq -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 10:35:19 PM)

Several US carriers have visited Portsmouth over the years, so they'll be no issue with these smaller carriers. Truth be told we haven't had a proper carrier since Ark Royal (as in the old Ark Royal).



smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 10:38:50 PM)

Yes I was just reading about her. I just cannot understand the logic in scrapping our carriers before getting the new ones.



mikmykWS -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 10:46:15 PM)

I think its clear the that the UK mod took some major cuts and gaps in capability to fund the future more or less.Sign of the times unfortunately.

smudge56 -> RE: Database question. (10/18/2013 11:15:34 PM)

Yep we've had cut back everywhere military, public services etc....

dillonkbase -> RE: Database question. (3/26/2014 4:21:25 PM)

I kind of liked the UK strategy here... While the US is still a strong ally, take advantage of the opportunity and invest in the future... The US seems to be ebbing a little and when it hits a critical level, I think the UK will have its shields back up...
