April 3, 201511 yr I see that I think they are two identical Iranian ship entries, with the same name, date, weapons and sensors: 3161 Bayador (PF103/90) 3949 Bayador (PF103/90) My idea is to modify and model entry 3949 as Bayador (PF103/13) with: 1x75mm Farj-7 gun (Super Rapid copy) 4xC-802/Noor anti-ship missiles. 1x40mm twin mount. 2x20mm single mounts. 2x12.7mm MG. Sensors? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayandor_class_corvette

Sensors? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayandor_class_corvette There are actually three different Bayandor (PF103) entries: Bayandor (PF103/80) Bayandor (PF103/84) Bayandor (PF103/90)
April 3, 201511 yr Oh, I see four!: 2419 Bayandor (PF103/80) 3948 Bayandor (PF103/84) 3161 Bayandor (PF103/90) 3949 Bayandor (PF103/90)

May 1, 201510 yr Arleigh Burke's Phalanx: Entry 3107 Arleigh Burke IIA (CM): - Phalanx Mk15 Blk1B should be aft arc, not forward arc: USS Spruance: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/The_amphibious_assault_ship_USS_Peleliu_(LHA_5)%2C_top%2C_and_the_guided_missile_destroyer_USS_Spruance_(DDG_111)%2C_bottom%2C_conduct_a_replenishment_at_sea_with_the_fast_combat_support_ship_USNS_Rainier_(T-AOE_7)_140624-N-HU377-304.jpg USS Michael Murphy: http://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/ddg112/Pages/default.aspx Entry 2402 Arleigh Burke IIA: - This class should be equipped with only one Phalanx mount (rear arc) and not two mounts. Inclusive previously to 2013 some were not equipped with Phalanx (see below): - See "Ships in class" table and sub-variants, also see weapons table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arleigh_Burke-class_destroyer#Ships_in_class - Probably DDG-79 to DDG-84 not were fitted with Phalanx previously to 2013 (See "Ships in class" table), but this is only a minor issue: A number of Flight IIA ships were constructed without a Phalanx CIWS because of the planned Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile, but later the Navy decided to retrofit all IIA ships to carry at least one Phalanx CIWS by 2013.[28]
May 1, 201510 yr There's been a lot of shifting around Phalanx - especially on the Burkes - in recent years, so much so that it is practically an exercise in checking each individual ship. That obviously ain't happening in the DB. Entry 3107 (Burke IIA CM) modified as requested. Re Entry 2402 ... * the first six ships of the sub group (Oscar Austin to Bulkeley) appear to have operated with two Phalanx. (This group is further sub divided by which carried the 62 cal Mk 45 gun). * switching to a single (aft) Phalanx appears to have begun with McCampbell? This means adding more, separate entries. This is problematic, of course, because of the limited space but a class as important as the Burke probably deserves it?
May 2, 201510 yr Details of the Rafale versions (sensor and armament packages) for export customers Egypt, India and Qatar? Qatari deal (six twin seat and 18 single-seat aircraft) includes Mica, Meteor, Scalp and AASM.
May 3, 201510 yr Great update! Thanks Brad! Very minor issues in HCDB-150205: - Loadout entry 57295 Precis-LR (for USAF F-4E) lacks ground attack weapons (probably 2xGBU-15(V)1/2). - The new and useful ship entry 4038 Cyclone (2014) lacks the ships names (they should be the same of Cyclone (1993) less Cyclone, transferred to Philippines). . Submarine entry 6524 is classified as SS, should be SSN.

May 10, 201510 yr A Little issue in HCDB-150205 (detected a week ago but only remembered now!): - Ship entry 4037 Tuo Chiang lacks any sonar type, is Mk46 Mod5 ASW torpedoes are in consequence useless. She employs an not-identified type of towed array sonar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuo_Chiang_class_corvette
May 10, 201510 yr Loadout 55764 ASW (For Lynx HMA.8, in service from 1995) should not include SSQ-947B Ranger active sonobuoy, as was employed 1968-1995 and retired then, better remplace them with SSQ-954B DIFAR, passive sonobuoy in use from 1988, as employed in loadout 55762 (for Lynx HMA.8 and Wildcat HMA.2). Another problem is the sonobouys in the loadouts are not traceable in the DB editor (I think from ever), when you click in the DB table sensor part and you click in a sonobouy entry to see in which loadouts is employed, you get no results.

She employs an not-identified type of towed array sonar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuo_Chiang_class_corvette Yes, I am aware of the missing sonar. It is currently missing because of the lack of details, as you point out, but these will be added as the details become available.

Neither of those, actually. The sonobuoy ought to be the SSQ-963 Command Active Multi-Beam Sonobuoy (CAMBS) series, a DICASS type.
May 12, 201510 yr I will be immediately modifying the North Korean SSB (and its SLBM) entries, based on information available here: First North Korean SLBM presents wholly novel threat The whole thing is rather provisional, of course, but poses interesting possibilities for scenario building.
May 13, 201510 yr Very minor issue: - Loadout 55811 SIOP (Nimrod MR.2) has 1xSSQ-954B DIFAR, it should be 126xSSQ-954B DIFAR, as in other Nimrod loadouts.
