Days after the announcement, Japan loosened decades-old restrictions on defence exports, in a long-anticipated change that will allow it to further ramp up arms sales, with analysts predicting some US allies — including Australia — will increasingly turn to Tokyo for key defence equipment ...

********** SPOILER ALERT ************
Well we basically just followed orders, and got lucky with the very early deluge of ballistic missiles.
We used our choppers sparingly to seek out any surface combatants that could hinder our advance, and found them. The lower threats were advanced on until within in accurate gunnery range, then hammered.
Regular and pesky air patrols from a mainland base took a couple of our choppers before they could dash back, skimming the wave tops wasn't good enough to evade detection and then the inevitable.

Thanks for this one Enrique. I have a feeling the outcome could well be different every time it's played. Luck dodging, or not, those ballistic missiles is a big determining factor. I might give it a run as the Red side and see what happens.

12 hours ago, aviator said: Thanks for the replies. It's somewhat clearer now. I'm still not sure how to find the HCDB2 database, as none of my .rsr files have that name. I do have some txt files by that name, apparently just a changelog.

I'd suggest the best way is to prepare some folders named for each database you intend to use (I use subfolder 'HCDBs' with further subfolders for each database eg HCDB2, HCCW, HCWW) then just download the files fresh from the downloads section of harpgamer.
The thing is that the database files will generally all be named commondb.rsr as they were intially intended to be swapped in and out of the root HC folder. By having the individual folders and by using the custom 'launcher' programs (also in the downloads section) the complexity is negated. You can even give the database files unique file names. Otherwise you are continually having to move or rename the commondb files and easily loose track of which is which.

6 hours ago, broncepulido said: Yes, I have the same questions about generic items (Most small drones are in fact reducible to some few generic types), and most if not all kamikaze (loitering or not) drones are reducible to weapons.
The aerial drones in particular, or more to the point their loadouts, would be a demand on our database if treated individually, so that was mostly where I was thinking, and some well thought out generic platforms would be beneficial.
For the type treated as weapons I'm thinking there is much more space availability in our DB annexes, maybe a few new specialised platforms and mounts and modified existing platforms but for the most part it would just be additional weapons?
