Would need to make a change to our database architecture or would cost of us probably 40+ hours in copying and pasting for what is more or less a cosmetic change of text line. Sorry this is probably not in the cards at this point. Time->value thing.

Trucks and None bit logged.

Thanks!

I totally agree!
I will however then make a list of suggestions for generic ground units that would be suitable to add to beef up the custom options. It's also in that department that I have encountered the nation specific unit class names.
Any inputs on my previous request to give small arms the possibility to target and destroy aircraft?




Yeah that would be great. FWIW I've added some of Mark's tanks to that list in an upcoming updated.

Guys we've got to really balance our time for now until we hit some goals after that we can attack some of these other projects. I do have a short list of db specific things I want too but have to wait. We'll get there though so please be patient with us.

I belive you have to redo the THAAD Battery.

A THAAD Battery consists of six truck-mounted M1075 launchers, 48 interceptors (8 per launcher), a THAAD Fire Control and Communications (TFCC) unit aka Tactical Station Group (TSG), and one AN/TPY-2 radar.

Small Typo, add "Norwegian" between "Royal" and "Air Force", or maybe just Air Force as in other RNoAF AC?

The addition of a truly generic infantry platoon makes the following a low priority request, as these can easily be simulated with the generic platoon, but I wonder if some of the nations more likely to be involved in military actions or peacekeeping missions (e.g., France, Japan, India, Greece, etc.) should have their own Inf Plt units added? Just a thought.




mikmykWS -> RE: Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues (6/24/2014 3:06:06 AM)

Yeah I've got a small project lined up for that. Want to increase ammo, evaluate fc systems a do a few other things.
Right now though getting 1.04 out is priority.

Hello!

I would like to request the change of swedish airforce turn-around times. The SwAF ground crews have a turn-around time for refueling and rearming of 10 minutes for empty/ferry and AAW loads, 15 minutes for reconnaissance and 30 minutes for attack load-outs. Be it on regular bases or dispersed war time bases. Is this something that can be reflected in the databases? This was ordered 1958 and was introduced in the years coming. Still valid for the maintenance today.

Some North Korean issues (albeit always highly speculative):

The update says the Najin with Kh-35s was added, but I don't see it in the database.

For something carrying an ASW helicopter, the new Nampo (#2626) doesn't have any ASW capability of its own. No sonar and no ASW weapons. The article showing it indicates positions for four RBU-1200 launchers.



AlmightyTallest -> RE: Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues (6/27/2014 4:50:51 PM)

Would it be possible to make the 5"/45 guns on the US Aegis ships more capable vs. missile threats by adding more ammunition types?

http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/logistics_material_readiness/acq_bud_fin/SARs/2012-sars/13-F-0884_SARs_as_of_Dec_2012/Navy/DDG_51_December_2012_SAR.pdf

This unclassified Congressional report dated 2013 claims the following on page 4:

quote:

Flight IIA ships have introduced new capabilities, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) and a MK-45
Gun that will provide improved air and anti-missile defense and improved land attack.



And this .pdf BAE brochure showcasing the gun system: http://www.baesystems.com/download/BAES_100639/mk-45-naval

Mentions proximity (VTF and IR) and electronically settable
(ESF) fuzes fuses for the 5" rounds.

The IR fuse is interesting, and other info here: http://defensetech.org/2012/12/06/more-precision-for-navy-guns/

quote:

U.S. Navy combat ships equipped with 5-inch guns are about to get more lethal. Next fall, ATK will begin delivering the new Multi-Option Fuze, Navy, or MOFN, for ammunition fired from MK 45 weapon systems.
Army Contracting Command just awarded ATK a five-year contract worth $84 million to produce the MK 437 MOFN for the Navy. The Army’s Joint Products Office manages the program for the Navy.
These specialized fuzes provide proximity, precision time, delay and point detonating impact options in a single fuze, ATK officials maintain. The inductive fuze setting feature also optimizes MOFN for use with automated ammunition handling equipment. MOFN will be used on projectiles fired in the MK 45 Single Lightweight Gun Mount on Navy cruisers and destroyers.

The U.S. Navy uses ATK's MK419 Multi-Function Fuze for 5″/54, 5″62 and 76 mm ammunition. The fuze provides point-detonation, electronic (variable) time, and height-of-burst, air (proximity) and autonomous modes. The MK419 operates in autonomous mode for gun systems without a fuze setter in development.
Key Features

Ability to engage Fast Attack Craft (FAC) which provide a serious threat to Navy ships
Engagement of very small Radar Cross Section (RCS) targets
“Use-As-Is” existing MFF AIR Mode fuzing capabilities

http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=78320

quote:

The system itself consists of a deck-mounted launch tube similar to the SLQ-49 "Rubber Duck" system phased out in the 1990s. Upon firing, the decoy automatically inflates on the surface beside the ship and floats freely past the stern to effectively counteract inbound threats. The advanced system offers increased defense capability against modern anti-ship missile threats, providing additional protection for the U.S. and its allies.

Ramage is the first ship to receive the Mk 59 installation, with additional surface combatants scheduled for the next five years.

Hi All

Need some help digging up info to complete some of your requests. Combat Fleets 2013 and googling isn't coming up with much:

Indonesian missile boat KRI Clurit (KRC-40 Class)

Anybody know the sensors these vessels carry?

Australia- Stonefish Mk. III fine. Lots of Mk.II out there but not so much on Mk.III any details would help.

Myanmar- Aung Zeya Frigates- Need sensor info. Vast differences between internet sources and paper sources on what SSM's are carried.

Thanks!

Mike

I attended a defense trade show in Indonesia a couple years ago and I know for a fact that several sensors onboard are Chinese and not "integrated". I have a few pictures of the vessel, would that help you? If yes, PM or email me.
Edit: I may even have the manufacturer's datasheet, but not much info on it IIRC


Yeah anything you could share would be great. Thanks!

Mike


Another addition for Myanmar, perhaps...it is unclear if this is a separate class or not (maybe it is just the "flight II" ships in this class?)

Kyan Sittha-class frigate

mikmykWS -> RE: Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues (6/27/2014 8:47:50 PM)

Myanmar I've kind started on but tons of gaps in published data so sorry to say it will take some time for us as we've got to look at pictures and try and piece lots of different things together.

No problem. When I looked for information on the frigate, I saw how little was available, although perhaps various reference works have more data, so I figured it might be a while. Thanks.

Minor corrections, when you have time...

A few aircraft are listed as only having training loadouts. However, some of them are armed, and some are unarmed but can carry light weapons. Please add appropriate loadouts when it is possible to do so. (I figure these might come into play as COIN aircraft with small countries, or possibly even a couple of unarmed ones purchased by a private citizen who turns out to be drug lord with the money to retrofit them with guns, etc.) Thanks.

T-50 Golden Eagle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAI_T-50_Golden_Eagle <-- 20 mm. cannon, can carry sidewinders, rockets, GP bombs, etc.

Lockheed T-33 <-- hardpoints for two bombs up to 1,000-lbs. or two rocket pods, AT-33 armed with 2 machine guns, too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_T-33

Embraer EMB 312 Tucano/T-27 <-- four hardpoints, up to 1,000-kg. of bombs, rockets, or gun pods (not sure if this is the T-27 or the AT-27, though)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_EMB_312_Tucano

No rush on these, but definitely something I could use in some scenarios I'm thinking about. Thanks!

Mgellis -> RE: Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues (6/28/2014 5:05:48 AM)


A low priority request...

Inf Platoon (France)

Technically, in any scenario this can be handled with the Inf Platoon (Generic) and the Rename function, so there is really no rush on this one. This is a purely cosmetic addition to the DB. But it just seemed odd that of all the nations that have infantry platoons included, the DB3000 does not have one for the French. (There is a forward observer section and a mech infantry platoon, but not a plain old infantry platoon.)

Of course, one could make a case for adding various other nations, too, based on global importance and/or historical combat experience: India, Japan, Italy, Egypt, etc. But I would start with France.

Thanks.

The Najin info cannot possibly be correct, those ships don't sail anymore. Seems the RBU-1200 on the Nampo were indeed SS-N-25.

Please add 4x AA-11/2x AA-10RE/1500 liter Droptank Loadout, they have the capability to use it and would probably do so, depending on what stores are available.

How about this loadout for Mig-29SMT as short range version of the

In theory, yes. There is no structural limitation, you can put APU-470 (which is the pylon/adapter for R-27) on mid pylons. There is no software limitation either, however standard MiG-29 does NOT have wiring to utilize the R-27 missile from mid pylon. MiG offered this modification for export models (as in the image), but for most airforces, there is no reason for it: Back in 80s, its counterpart F-16 did not have any BVR capability in anyway, and today its simply better to integrate and carry lighter R-77 missiles.
