Database Design & Discussion

I notice that both the RQ-4A Global Hawk Block 10 and the RQ-4B Global Hawk Block 20 seem to have exactly the same range listed in the "weapons" display, even though the Block 20 is supposed to have rather greater range, and claims to have 14,000 nm range (vs 12,500 for the Block 10) on the "Unit Display" popup. Is this proper?

I put the Zumwalt through a few tests to check her sea legs using HCDB-080326 which generated a few observations: o Why a max cruise speed of 18 kts instead of 19 kts? Is this associated with her drive-type? o Why are the 155mm/62 AGS LRLAP rounds modeled as missiles? o Why does the 57mm/70 Mk110 ppq mount have 16 bursts but the 57mm/70 M110 ssq mount have 255 bursts? o The game allows me to use gunfire against a target for which I had a bearing-only, area detection (using sonar). I did not hit while the detection box was big but did when it became near-exact. o She's very stealthy. Thanks, Brad! DN

Not is clear what types of AIM-9 were employed in the mainly exported F-104 Starfighters. The follow considerations are basically informed guesses with puntual evidences. Also, we must remember a missile is designed to keep his integrity when loaded in a plane because the vibrations only a few flight hours (most between 40 or 400), and late it will be discarded or remanufactured. One of the most confusing elements is the double designation of the AIM-9F as AIM-9B FGW Mod.2, shortened to AIM-9B in the texts, the confussion provoked to think late Starfighters were equipped with the low performance, old and original AIM-9B. As consequence, most of the literature says A…

I've encountered the L-39 Albatros in at least a couple of scenarios. One MEDC and one WestPac. In both of these games, I have found that the plane is pretty stealthy. I mean that it appears at about the same range that I would expect a Stealth bomber to show up - visual range. Could you possibly take another look at the RCS value for this plane? I can understand if it is a small plane, but my experience has it virtually invisible.

Would you consider adding the Project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov? I found this on Janes and several other sources: 4500 tonnes 132m armament will include: 8 SS-N-26 SA-N-7 Uragon VLS (I assume similar to SA-17) 1 Kashtan Medvedka 2 SS-N-29 VLS 130mm A-192 Also, after reading Janes and then doing some quick research online I found a few bits of interesting info that is slightly different from the current DB. For Yaseni, most sources I read have 24 missiles (8 launchers with 3 missiles each) which will be a combo of cruise missiles and SS-N-26. Also, all the sources I find has Aster 30 range of approx 100km. For Steregushchiy, everything I can find says that the…

1. Do you have any plans to make the three US version of the F-35 Lightning 2? 2. Do you plan to put the small diameter bomb on any other aircraft? thanks -Tanthier

South Korean fighter aircraft development program, with Indonesian involvement, with the goal of producing an advanced multirole fighter for the South Korean and Indonesian air forces. The airframe is stealthier than any fourth-generation fighters, but does not carry weapons in internal bays like fifth-generation fighters, though internal bays may be introduced later in development. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAI_KF-21_Boramae https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/south-koreas-kf-21-homegrown-advanced-fighter-just-took-to-the-air View full record

I have a question about the dfferent databases. Are they all compatible with HCBB that comes with the game? I installed the latest HC65to95 and it removed most of the more modern platforms. Is there a way around this? Thanks -Tanthier

Anyone have a credible source for reload time for the RIM-8 Talos missile from the Mk 7 GMLS?

Question: The time needed for repairs can be modified in the database? It depends on the type of unit / structure? or the type of damage? (Good idea for the "wish list", structures or bases for repairs "fast" units ...) tanks

Does anyone recall whether any of the "OEM" databases, going back at least to HC Gold, ever have had Phantom IIs with a loadout that had only the four Sparrows and no Sidewinders, as in the case of some of the early F-4 marks)? Thanks.

Looking for data about japanese planes, I've find these pages (in japanese !!!), where we can read the actual name of the F-2 radar (J/APG-1, range 100 n.m. I guess in the text !) and his internal ECM suite (IEWS/AIBU ???): http://www2.odn.ne.jp/~flip-around/military-aircraft/f2.htm And this one, with names and uses of radar and other ECM and electronic systems of the japanese planes: http://homepage1.nifty.com/jagaimo/west_nest/s_jecs.html And some nice photoshopped pictures of hypotetical F-3?: http://www.hudong.com/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C...%96%97%E6%9C%BA

Hi Thanks to the HCE launcher it becomes more and more easy to switch between differnet DBs What i have tested so far is that with the launcher the commonddb files need no longer to be in the HCE Mainfolder and we can edit the name of the files. so my idea and proposal is that we db-designers, those who publish databases regulary, provide them in a zip container, containing a folder named "databases" containing the db file named like hcdb_20100506.res, oder HC-50to65-DB_20100427.res, etc... + the "normal" commondb.res file outside the folder for those not using the launcher... Maybee at a later point we can distribute the db files as an installer file? …

In the game there are: Torpedo Sub-Types: (these are stored in the F1 annex Guidance field so 66 = 'B', 78 = 'x', etc.) 'B' - Active/Passive seeker '2' - Double-wire guided None 'P' - Passive Seeker '1' - Single-wire guided 'S' - Straight-running Unknown 'X', 'x' - Wake following, term active 'A' - Active seeker (this one is not in the default PE for some reason) Torpedo Codes: DE Payload Quiet

File Name: HC_Atlantic_DB File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 16 Aug 2007 File Updated: 16 Mar 2008 File Category: Databases Authors: René Haar Game Version: No Information Atlantic_DB is focused on the Atlantique Ocean containing all American and African Countrys with a coastline on the Atlantic+Australia. And it features selected European Countrys including the former USSR and now Russia It is a regional DB for the period from around 1975-2005. It has the same philosophy for base structure, weapon and senor data/modells. No long range weapons (SAM/SSM) will be fitted to Harbours/Airbases. So a Scen-Writer has to add mobile Units to replace the SAM…

What is the Database number that has DDG-1000 in it? Is there a database with the A-6F Intruder2 or the A-12 Avenger2 or the Arsenal Ship in it?

Can some one confirm or otherwise my assumption that an aircraft radar with LDSD flag, but no other air search flag, has a blind spot through the tail? TIA Don

How can someone know if a plane is armed with guns or not? I am looking in the editor and I can't tell which planes have guns and which don't. Can someone fill me in? I was trying something out on Thunder Dragon and I can't get the MiG-17F Fresco C to intercept the American aircraft. Normally, the Staff will show me the distance and ask me if I want to intercept regardless if the plane has insufficient range to actually carry out the mission. However, I can't even get that far. I've tried to move them closer before trying to attack again, but still no luck. Could it be that they have no armament? Can you take a look at this platform, please?

Meddling with my personal modified DB, apparently many ships magazine have been translated from a ship to other, how can I correct it? I don't find in the platform editor any table with ships magazines, to see what is lacking. Thanks.
