Done! Fine! This week I will be in Madrid at the Guti, but the next I hope to post some scenario ...

I think we have commented this idea some time ago. I think is a very good idea, but I probably not will play or edit ANW, more with that limitation of the GE is not capable of fly different plane types in the same flight .... But I think is basically a very good idea, of easier implementation in the Classic game, number of loadouts limitation aside ...

I think we ever forget to include in the DB the spectacular Tu-126 Moss (1965-1984) one and other time ...

Impressive and inspirational acts and facts. Perhaps this 65 sampans-to-2 Patrol Boats for a Cold War Scenario ... but it's a little off the game scope and limitations. Also a good inspiration when we think about the LCS and his capabilities ...

Thank you very much by the effort and the explanations !!!

Thanks! Err, supposedly "visual" is capable of detect submarine wakes in the Game Engine?

Thanks by the overall interest. I think I've never detected nothing with TCS in none of the game iterations, I was thinking it was never operative ... (thanks Tony about the clarification in ranges and function ) About IR and LLTV installed in ships and subs, the same thing ... Because that, I dont begin a issue tracker thread, I was believing the aswer was simply a "they are not operative flags ...·

Thanks, Tony!

Forgot the Issue Tracker? [i don't know if we busted something in a beta recently, but these functions did work at one time or another.] No, but it don't remember if they were working in HC Gold neither ...

Yes, I do the same thing for the more modest data of my personal use HCDB for climb rate, ranges and cruise speed, speed at military power and speed at different heights ...

The 1979's Sino-Vietnamese War is worth of remembering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War It contains also ideas for an scenario: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_South_Reef_Skirmish

After some testing I'dont see effects in the use of TCS on planes. Neither in the use of IR and Low-level light TV on ships (and submarines). They are actually any effects by his use in the game!

More planes ideas for the DB. More Grumman Trackers (excluding Americas DB variants): http://home.planet.nl/~roden171/operatorse.html S-2E/G (Australia 1967-1984). S-2 (Japan 1957-1984). S-2E (South Korea 1976-1995). S-2F (Thailand 1967-1996?) S-2E (Turkey 1972-1993) Data about Trackers operators in: http://home.planet.nl/~roden171/operatorse.html The late R.550 Magic 2 Mk 2 (1990) air-to-air missile variant. CASA C-212 Aviocar, general transport, SAR and ELINT variants. Widely exported and produced both in Spain and Indonesia. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASA_C-212_Aviocar Myasichev Bison (1956-1994), loadouts for the "reversible" bomber capacities (Employed as bombers in the Afghanistan war). Su-11 Fishpot-C (1964-1983). Su-24 Fencer A/B/C (1975+): initial variants without IFR neither AA-8 Aphid (only provision for the rare K-55M/AA-1c Alkali, IR-guided), and less AS missile types (4xKh-23 or 3xKh-28) neither laser-guided bombs. Some South African planes, most of them of easy modelling with previous loadouts. Useful data here: http://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/aircraft/retired and in http://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/aircraft Impala Mk I/MB-326M (1966-2005): some 200 built. Impala Mk II/MB-326K (1974-2005): some 99 built. Cheetah E (1987-1992): some 16 planes. Mirage IIIEZ (1965-1986): 17 planes. Mirage IIICZ (1963-1990): 16 planes. Mirage IIIRZ (1967-1990): four planes. Mirage IIIR2Z (1974-1990): four planes. Mirage F1AZ (1975-1997): 32 planes. Mirage F1CZ (1975-1992): 16 planes delivered. Canberra B(I) Mk12 (1963-1991): six planes. Shackleton MR.3 (1957-1984): eight planes. Other not very relevant types, included only for flavour: Mirage IIIEE (Spain 1970-1991): as the standard Mirage IIIE but with AIM-9P and R.530 IR/SARH and without smart bombs or missiles. C-47 Dakota/DC-3: INTL, for generic use. North American T-6D Texan (Spain 1954-1982): armed trainer employed in succesive Saharan crisis. Also other users. AD-4/A-1D Skyraider (Chad 1976-1987). (More ideas for second-rate warplanes at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chadian_Air_Force ) Fouga Magister variants (I think we can include only the armed versions: Israel, Belgium, ): Fouga Magister (Finland 1958-1988). Fouga Magister (Israel 1957-1986) IAI Tzukit/AMIT Fouga (Israel 1983+): only trainer. Fouga Magister (France 1956-1996). Fouga Magister (Belgium 1960-2007): employed in some Congo wars.

Things are getting hot in that region. Perhaps China wants his people to forget the internal issues (social, economical, demographic, ethnical, Tibet, muslim issues), and an external campaign can be a sure cure. Perhaps we can keep open this thread ...

I think that's a good idea, but can we swing it with existing loadouts? Or with minimal new ones? I need to revamp the JSF entries as a whole, so this might be doable. Keeping an eye on the F-35B variants, the F-35B bomb bays are capable only of 1000 lb loads, not 2000 lbs weapons, as in the F-35A/C variants as referred on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Mart...ing_II#Armament

Thanks, Tony !

A very interesting site about discrete operations in Groom Lake and near sites in the Cold War, as example: http://area51specialprojects.com/sp_area51.html Finded only some minutes ago, but it's clearly a very interesting site, worth of extended browsing.

We known his existence from years ago, but now it's the first time I see this images of F-5E and A-37B tested by the Soviets, after the overruning of the Bien Hoa base in 1975: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGmBdqxrwbw Below a lot of mostly stupid comments, and a very good pun: "It's a MiG-28"!!!

Another idea for scenarios, collision between subs, and another example of as it's very difficult only one incident can provoke a whole war: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_inc...f_Kildin_island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Grayling_...bmarine.2C_1993

Very interesting the information about the software limitations doctrine-derived, thanks! Yes, the 3/4 pylons in Flankers is another issue, but I've not mentioned it because is not so flagrant ...

Yet mostly classified, but some hints on this series of interesting articles: http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1699/1

Some minor issues revising the DB-120426 (I've not revised the ships, only planes and subs): Entry 3936 Fulin has not RCS value. Entry 11198 AW101 pretended for Algeria was flagged as French. Entry 11240 F-6 Farmer C has not RCS. The MiG-23MF entries are equipped with IFR, it should be IRST. In the 11209 entry, the Swiss F-5E, the loadouts 56225 and 57194 are identical (one of them should carry AIM-9J, but I’m not sure). The entry 11217, Il-76T, lacks the loadouts,probably 55511 loadout, tanker. The 57217 loadout has 114mm gun, not NR-30 gun !!! The 55854 loadout for MiG-29A has been erroneous for longtime, it has the impossible load of 2xAA-11 Archer and 4XAA-10 Alamo (That’s possible only in very late marks, and I’ve never see a picture of it), it must be perhaps the usual 4xAA-11 Archer and 2xAA-10 Alamo (And as consequence we can change the loadout 55852 from 2xAA-11 Archer and 2xAA-10 Alamo to the also usual 4xAA-8b (R-60MT) and 2xAA-10 Alamo loadout).

I was meaning J-11B clearly, not J-15B ... (corrected in the previous post to avoid ambiguations).

About the Chinese Flankers, I wrote this post two weeks ago and now is posted with two days of retard because the sinodefence site was down for a few days (And Brad's has included the J-15 in this interval!!!). Chinese Flankers, as in an article by Bai Wei in Air Forces Monthly May 2012 issue, and other data of sinodefense.com . The most relevant difference in relation with the DB is in the J-15: improved Chinese engines, she will have a unknown phased-array radar and 4xC-803 anti-ship missiles (we can add it easy). Also, we can add the J-11B: improved Chinese engines, probably only Chinese missiles, and Chinese radar. 36xSu-27SK (IOC 1991): 4xR-73 or 6xR-27. Not can use the R-77. Maximum external ordnance 8000 Kg, including 100, 200 and 500 Kg dumb bombs in ten hardpoints. 40xSu-27UBK (IOC 1991). The first 24 planes with N-001E radar (capable of engage only one target, and tracking ten), the rest with N-001P radar (capable of engage two targets). The original L005 ECM pod was replaced in the Chinese Su-27 with the downgraded L203/L204 100?xJ-11(A) (IOC 2001): as the late Su-27SK, but produced in China. Equipped only with Russian missiles and dumb bombs. The aim was to build 200 J-11A but the production was halted after only some 100 produced. http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/fighter/j11.asp All those planes (Su-27, J-11A) will be not updated, and retired after the depletion of Russian missiles stock. J-11B (IOC 2002?): PL-8 short-range (in clearly modified downwards wing-tip stations) and PL-12 active radar guided Chinese missiles. Chinese control radar (capable of engage only one target, and tracking 20). Missile aproach warning system. FWS10 Taihang turbofan (17445 lbf and 29674 lbf with afterburner) replacing the Saturn AL31F (16366 lbf and 28101 lbf with afterburner). Composite materials lowered the weight in 700 Kg, and reduced the RCS (to one-quarter of the Su-27???). J-11BS: two-seat variant of J-11B. J-15 (previously J-11BJ)(IOC 2014?): carrier variant with canard planes (Only was purchased a prototype Su-33 from Ukraine). New phased-array radar. FWS10H Thaihang turbofans. 4xC803 anti-ship missiles. On trials phase as April 2012. 76xSu-30MKK (IOC 2001): two batches of 38. N-001VE radar (capable of engage two target, and tracking ten). R-73, R-77, Kh-59, Kh-29 and Kh-31 missiles, and KAB-series LGB. Two more hardpoints for 2000 Kg each. 8000 Kg ordnance total. IFR. 24xSu-30MK2 Flanker-G (IOC 2004): for the Chinese navy. N-001VEP radar. Kh-59 and Kh-31A anti-ship missiles.

Interesting, thanks
