Some minor speed errors for a time present in the HCCW-130801 Cold War Database and detected now:

 

10710 MiG-21F Fishbed C (Egypt) lacks most of her speeds.

 

10822 C.8 (F-104G) (Spain) lacks most of her speeds.

 

10826 F-104G Starfighter (Turkey) lacks all her speeds.

 

11069 Sea King Mk42 lacks all her speeds.

 

11287 Canberra B(I).12 (New Zealand) lacks all her speeds.

I detected a curious problem with some old types of jet fighters, those historically incapables of use afterburner below 7000-8000 meters or so, as:

10299 Javelin FAW.6

10302 Javelin FAW.9

10331 F-100D Super Sabre

10422 EF-100F Wild Weasel I

10824 F-104G Starfighter (Taiwan)

10943 Yak-28L Brewer B

10944 Yak-28I Brewer C

10945 Yak-28R Brewer D

10946 Yak-28PP Brewer E

 

The solution to let them without reheat speed in the HCCW DB in very low, low and medium heights was apparently correct, but now, when testing a scenario with Yak-28, I saw the actual result is: they're correctly incapable to use reheat speed at very low, low and medium heights, but as consequence (some other strange GE effect) they're also incapable to use reheat speed at high height!

(Same effect if the plane is capable of use reheat at medium and high heights but not at low height, is converted in not afterburner capable plane at any height!).

(With some testing, another effect obtained if the plane is make capable in the DB of use reheat at low and medium heights but not at high height: the plane can use reheat speed at low and medium heights as usual, but a high height, if we select reheat speed as expected speed=0 (the plane not keeps at maximum military speed!), but at least the throttle is changed to loiter, and not too much fuel is expended ...).

As a GE related solution should be very difficult, another solution can be to add a fake reheat speed increased in 1 knot at very low/low and medium height (the GE runs well if I use the same speed values at military and reheat power at very low/low and medium heights, but I fear the AI uses the same speed but in afterburning throttle, expending fuel at too fast rate without factual increase in speed).

Evidently now we can install the new forward and aft mounts of 203mm Mk15 triple in the Baltimore and Rochester cruisers yet equipped with the erroneous 152mm Mk16 triple mount.

A clear and quick reference table here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8%22/55_caliber_gun

I see now the Marine 10 man squad modelled as a gun for landing and shore assaults (from Iranian hovercrafts). Probably this can be the better modelling possible on the GE limitations, as when you've approximated your landing force as near as 1 nm from the shore, the success should be guaranteed (not previous interception by the defending enemy forces in a lot of time and space, as in the very slow missile modelling case).

Also, I see the new 3087 Kiev (1143) entry has again limited his aircraft capacity to 30, and not the actual 38 or so ...

This is what happens when you build several different versions of the same platform while watching the latest episode of Breaking Bad.

 

Working on polishing up the HCDB for the next patch right now, but I will get to these and other issues in due course.

Great! I will keep watching the Cold War DB (Except expansions, I only revise old platforms when I pretend to employ it) and thinking in new Cold War scenarios.

Both Breguet Alize should be rated as STOL-runway capables, not as Small aircraft-runway capables. If not, we can't embark she on aircrafts carriers (the CV are equipped with STOL-runways, also, if I modify it, the game will crash for players without this change in the DataBase).

An error from an experiment I was running. Thought I had fixed them, but there are much more than the Alize that need fixing. Thanks for finding it.

 

Update: This issue should be fixed in the new version (HCCW-130923) uploaded today.

New ship: a junk!!! Very funny idea

Some very minor doubts or errors in HCCW-130923, after the manual transcription to my personal DB:

 

Helicopter entry11329 AB.204AS perhaps lacks ASW systems and loadouts?

 

Submarine entry 6414 Neptun lacks damage points and base source level.

 

Ship entry 3131 Junk lacks damage points.

 

Ship entry 3139 Pham Ngu Lao should be a Vietnam South ship, not a Yemen North ship.

 

I suppose the weapon entry 26715 French M1926V torpedo should be implemented in the entry 6412 French SS Bouan (ex- U-510).

Aircraft entry 11068 L-1049G Super Constellation (Maritime Patrol, India), lacks loadout (I don't see any concrete loadout clearly suitable).

I suppose the weapon entry 26715 French M1926V torpedo should be implemented in the entry 6412 French SS Bouan (ex- U-510).

Got a source? The M1926V was a 15.75 inch (400mm) torpedo.

 

Helicopter entry11329 AB.204AS perhaps lacks ASW systems and loadouts?

I don't have any information about an ASW role for this helo in Turkish Navy service. If there is a source, please provide.

 

Other issues remedied for the next iteration. Thanks.

Oh, I don't saw M1926V was an 400mm torpedo, I only saw it was added to the DB with the Bouan, don't employed in any mount and thinking the Bouan employed in post-war old German and French torpedoes.

About the Turkish Agusta-Bell 204AS, I was thinking it was the same model as the Italian or Spanish ones ("AS" stands for "anti-sommergibili"?), with AQS-13B sonar and APN-195 radar, as states Jane's All the World's Aircrafts 1975-1976, but I'm not sure.

But now I read in Jane's Fighting Ships 1980-1981 the three Turkish Navy ones are designated as 204B, not as 204AS, probably simpler transport/assault/attack helicopters.
