    One of the limiting factors would be how far the Sonobuoy can transmit data to the processing equipment on the aircraft. To process data from a sonobuoy field the AC would have to fly at an altitude to receive data from all the buoy's. An article I just came across says that a Sonobuoy from as high as 30,000 feet. https://dosits.org/galleries/technology-gallery/locating-objects-by-listening-to-their-sounds/difar/ Here is another article on Sonobuoy's: https://www.militaryaerospace.com/sensors/article/14283490/antisubmarine-warfare-asw-sonobuoys-underwater-sounds Here is an article on how the whole process for detecting a sub works: https://nps.edu/web/slamr/-/disrupting-anti-submarine-warfare-with-autonomous-systems The lower the AC is to the water the easier it is for the sub to hear the aircraft. Once a contact has been acquired and the general location of the contact is known only then the aircraft drops down to a lower altitude to get a precise location of the contact wit MAD. I haven't been able to find out the transmission range to the aircraft of the buoy. That information may not be published for a good reason. To detect a surface ship you would first look for any electronic emissions. The electronic emissions will be detected long before the ship will be able to detect the aircraft. Since the noise a surface ship makes is trapped above the thermal layer of the ocean it can travel long distances. The only way to try an localize a surface contact is to use Time motion analysis. A good example for TMA was used in the Hunt for Red October by Sonar Technician Jonsey when he plotted the course of the weird sound. He was able to figure out what the course was of the Red October. The one unknown factor is what can Harpoon do and can't do. That is the question for TE to try and answer.

    The Arrow 3 or Hetz 3 is an exoatmospheric hypersonic anti-ballistic missile, jointly funded, developed and produced by Israel and the United States. Undertaken by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Boeing, it is overseen by the Israeli Ministry of Defense's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_3 https://www.iai.co.il/p/arrow-3

    Don, that's an interesting concept. That is something I would like to play around with. It would be great when using the Order Writer. They could be more detailed.

    Text in the Message Log and the Unit banner very light text are hard to read. The text is very light.

    Verified. Issue has been resolved with 2023.007 update!

    GE crashes with out any warning. This has happened several time in about the same spot in the game. I have included the last 5 game saves 1 second apart. If more saved games are needed please let me know. The zip file includes GE log, db and saved games. let me know if you need any additional information. GE Crash 2023.006.zip

    After leaving TonyD and I alone for 15 minutes we found an issue with the 2023.003 version of the SE. When selection weapons on a plane at an air base the SE Crashes. When selecting Sensor on a ship or a sub the SE crashes. Crashes verified by TD and myself with various db's and scenarios. Included in the Zip file is a small scenario, latest db and the SE log file. 2023.003 SE Crash.zip

    A newly created scenario in the updated SE does not crash when opened in the GE.
  11. eeustice
    Upon loading a saved game using the 2023.001 GE scenario crashed. Starting a new game with scenario and db loaded fine. Opened scenario in the SE without any issues. Attached is a saved game, GE log file, latest db. If you need anything else please let me know! 2023.001 Update Saved Game Load Crash.zip

    Since we can now capture bases, I changed the size of the runway on Sinuiju North Korea (ID 52621)from small to large. The base size in the SE and GE do not change size. In the PE the base size is Large. Attached is a scenario with the North Korean base, the latest copy of my db If you have any questions please let me know. Sinuiju North Korea.zip

    The Mark 54 was co-developed by Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems and the U.S. Navy under the U.S. Navy's Lightweight Hybrid Torpedo program in response to perceived problems with the extant Mark 50 and Mark 46 torpedoes. The Mk 50, having been developed to counter very high performance nuclear submarines such as the Soviet Alfa class, was seen as too expensive to use against relatively slow conventional submarines. The older Mk 46, designed for open-ocean use, performed poorly in the littoral areas, where the Navy envisioned itself likely to operate in the future. The Mk 54 was created by combining the homing portion of the Mk 50 and the warhead and propulsion sections of the Mk 46, improved for better performance in shallow water, and with the addition of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology to further reduce costs. It shares much of the software and computer hardware of the Mk 48 ADCAP heavy torpedo, based around a custom PowerPC 603e microprocessor. The Mk 54 can be fired from surface ships via the Mark 32 surface vessel torpedo tubes or the vertical launch anti-submarine rocket (ASROC) systems, and also from most ASW aircraft, although they are slightly different lengths and weights. The P-8 Poseidon uses the High-Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapons Capability (HAAWC) GPS-guided parachute kit to drop torpedoes from high altitude. https://www.militaryaerospace.com/sensors/article/14281632/antisubmarine-warfare-asw-airborne-torpedo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_54_Lightweight_Torpedo

    The U.S. Navy is set to demonstrate the ability to fire an AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range, or AARGM-ER, from a ground-based launcher this year. The missile's manufacturer, Northrop Grumman, has been pitching surface-launch options for the weapon, and derivatives thereof, for years now. The Navy is also exploring adding the AGM-88G to the already expanding arsenal for the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol plane. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/navy-to-test-ground-launched-version-of-new-radar-busting-missile https://news.northropgrumman.com/news/releases/northrop-grummans-advanced-anti-radiation-guided-missile-extended-range-completes-fourth-successful-missile-live-fire

    The JLENS is a Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System. They were testing them close to where I used to live. One broke loose one day and caused all kinds of Havoc in the area! They are in the official HC db!

    Tempest

    eeustice posted a record in Aircraft

    The BAE Systems Tempest is a proposed sixth-generation fighter aircraft that is under development in the United Kingdom for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The aircraft is intended to enter service from 2035, gradually replacing the Eurofighter Typhoon. It is being developed as part of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme by a consortium known as Team Tempest, which includes the Ministry of Defence, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Leonardo, and MBDA UK. £2 billion is planned to be spent by the British government on the initial phase of the project up to 2025. https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2023/02/10/wallace-urges-italy-japan-to-stick-with-just-launched-fighter-project/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Tempest

    The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) is a weapon made by Boeing and the Saab Group, who modified Boeing's GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with the addition of a rocket motor. Initial testing began in 2015. If supplied to Ukraine in 2023, this would mark the weapon's first export and use in combat. The weapon is launched from ground-based missile systems such as the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System and M142 HIMARS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Launched_Small_Diameter_Bomb

    The other part of the issue is that the GE takes all ammo from one ship regardless of the ROF of the mount instead of doing to the next available mount/ship after the ROF was reached.
