Loadout entry #55364 (ASW entry employed by French and Japanese P2V-7 Neptune) has not sonobuoys. Is depicted as an advanced P-2H/P2V-7 (last batches of the French ones, and probably all the Japanese), at SP-2H/P2V-7S level ("S" suffixe probably stands for "Sonobouy Processor"), with Julie/Jezebel sound processor capability, it should be probably have the same sonobuoys as #55363, 22xSSQ-14A Jezebel+44xSSQ-31 Julie.

In the French P2H/SP-2H (1958-1984) torpedo Mk44 was introduced in 1960?, torpedo L4 was introduced in 1964, SSQ-23 Julie active/pasive sonobuoy introduced in 1962 (in US service was in 1957). Dorsal turret 12,7mm machine guns (last remaining guns) deleted in 1959 (previously forward and aft turret replaced by glassed observation nose and MAD), if is an advanced SP-2H/P2V-7S #55364 should be equipped with no guns.

No data on the Japanese Neptune.

I know the HCWW is on indefinite hiatus but should there be a future update I'm interested in USS Brule, APA-66. Not much use in game terms but interesting from a personal perspective knowing someone who served on her.

This database is unlikely to be updated any time in the near future.

I'm guessing still the case.

I'm interested in doing a few scenario in the pacific islands - SE Asia in the 60s.

If changes do occur I've noticed that the EP-3s and most P-3 have high alt capability but 0 speed for all throttles at high alt.

ARM Shrike AGM-45s and Standard AGM-78 omit ship target flag
