CV32

From DefenseTech [excerpt]

Moved the AIM-9B/E/F discussion to that thread that Enrique had opened. Its a good one!

[Merged the two threads as there is just one scenario] Thanks for posting it, Clemens. I'll be sure to take it for a spin soon! Just as I was thinking I should take a break from DB work and write a scenario or two, someone else steps up.

The DPS flag serves no purpose, so most times I just exclude it altogether. Thanks! Thanks, the second entry was supposed to add a couple more Rb24J. Supposed to have been F-100F. Thanks. Yeah, looks I mixed em up here but not in the HCCW. Got a source?

I gave up my AFM subscription a couple years' back. The cost for us folks across the Pond was excessive.

Yup. Tougher target needs a nastier bomb. Makes you wonder, though, if the best penetrator is not the one that is whipped up to meet a specific target. A la GBU-28 circa 1991.

From RIA Novosti [excerpt] CV32: In light of this kind of resurgence and the pace of Chinese fighter advances, the failure to offer the F-22 to the JASDF continues to be a head scratcher.

Roger. Maybe $$$?

I'll hazard a guess. With Aster/PAAMS/Sea Viper having a somewhat troubled history and despite recent test success, there's nothing quite like the peace of mind that is offered by a proven, rapid firing gun.

From CBC News [excerpt]

I have found this site especially useful for discerning names and pennant numbers.

I would have thought that its rather noticeable position, and the fact that it appears stowable, would have made it the subject matter of at least some discussion, but I have found nothing.

Thanks. I wondered about that myself, though I didn't investigate further. Looks it is a RHAWS. I sometimes toss a 'weather radar' aboard when I don't have readily available info for the radar (which you are certainly helping to remedy) or where it is necessary to energize the jamming suite. Little quirks that aren't obvious to everyone.

Rob, we haven't finalized the details of how it might work just yet, but hopefully you're still eager to help out once we do. Truthfully, your programming skills and free time are considerably more valuable than any donation. Please send a PM to Tony, as I'm sure he would like to talk to you about it.
