Thread for DB3000 database problems, updates or issues

[Mgellis]

Minor corrections, when you have time...

A few aircraft are listed as only having training loadouts. However, some of them are armed, and some are unarmed but can carry light weapons. Please add appropriate loadouts when it is possible to do so. (I figure these might come into play as COIN aircraft with small countries, or possibly even a couple of unarmed ones purchased by a private citizen who turns out to be drug lord with the money to retrofit them with guns, etc.) Thanks.

T-50 Golden Eagle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAI_T-50_Golden_Eagle <-- 20 mm. cannon, can carry sidewinders, rockets, GP bombs, etc.

Lockheed T-33 <-- hardpoints for two bombs up to 1,000-lbs. or two rocket pods, AT-33 armed with 2 machine guns, too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_T-33

Embraer EMB 312 Tucano/T-27 <-- four hardpoints, up to 1,000-kg. of bombs, rockets, or gun pods (not sure if this is the T-27 or the AT-27, though)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_EMB_312_Tucano

No rush on these, but definitely something I could use in some scenarios I'm thinking about. Thanks!

A low priority request...

Inf Platoon (France)

Technically, in any scenario this can be handled with the Inf Platoon (Generic) and the Rename function, so there is really no rush on this one. This is a purely cosmetic addition to the DB. But it just seemed odd that of all the nations that have infantry platoons included, the DB3000 does not have one for the French. (There is a forward observer section and a mech infantry platoon, but not a plain old infantry platoon.)

Of course, one could make a case for adding various other nations, too, based on global importance and/or historical combat experience: India, Japan, Italy, Egypt, etc. But I would start with France.

Thanks.

Some North Korean issues (albeit always highly speculative):

The update says the Najin with Kh-35s was added, but I don't see it in the database.

For something carrying an ASW helicopter, the new Nampo (#2626) doesn't have any ASW capability of its own. No sonar and no ASW weapons. The article showing it indicates positions for four RBU-1200 launchers.

The Najin info cannot possibly be correct, those ships don't sail anymore. Seems the RBU-1200 on the Nampo were indeed SS-N-25.

Thanks! [8D]

#3210 - Su-30MKI Mk2 Flanker G -- India (Air Force), 2016
Loadout: KAB-500Kr TV/EO, No Wingtip Pods(Strike, Land/Naval) and the Long-Range version have the exact same loadout.
I don't know what you had in mind for the LR, maybe only 2 bombs? Or more bombs for the short range loadout?

[MR_BURNS2]

#1185 - MiG-29 Fulcrum A [UPG MLU] -- India (Air Force), 2013, 62x and other Mig-29M/SMT/K variants

Probe/Drogue Refueling capable

4x AA-10 Alamo A [R-27R, MR SARH] 2x AA-11 Archer [R-73] 1x 1500 liter Drop Tank <-- Are you sure she can carry 4 Alamos? I never saw more then 2 on the inner wing stations, could it be a typo?

Please add 4x AA-11/2x AA-10RE/1500 liter Droptank Loadout, they have the capability to use it and would probably do so, depending on what stores are available.

How about this loadout for Mig-29SMT as short range version of the
KAB-500Kr TV/EO(Strike,Land/Naval) loadout ?

Apparently it can, but not by "default": http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthre ... ost2108209

In theory, yes. There is no structural limitation, you can put APU-470 (which is the pylon/adapter for R-27) on mid pylons. There is no software limitation either, however standard MiG-29 does NOT have wiring to utilize the R-27 missile from mid pylon. MiG offered this modification for export models (as in the image), but for most airforces, there is no reason for it: Back in 80s, its counterpart F-16 did not have any BVR capability in anyway, and today its simply better to integrate and carry lighter R-77 missiles.

[chesmart]

Could you add the various iskander missiles pls esp the submuntion one as am creating a scenario where i need mrbm with sub munitions.It already exists in the DBase. And Arrow 3 ASBM and MEADS.BTW The Mk71 203mm gun as well pls

The Malaysian "SU-30MKM Flanker G" (Aircraft #1699) is missing it's "SAP-518 OECM" Pods (Weapon #2839) for it's "AS-17 Krypton C [Kh-31P, ARM], SAP-518 OECM Wingtip Pods, Long-Range" load out.

Also, was the ability to see database #s in-game removed? Because I can't seem to find wherever I found the load out # previously.

Medium priority...please consider these for the next update of the DB3000...

(All of these are already in the CWDB, but were active in the 1980s or later or are "universal" land facilities and thus could be included in the DB3000, too. Since they are already in the CWDB, all the data should already be available, so I hope adding them to the DB3000 will not be too difficult.) Thanks for considering these!

I would also like Mgellis suggestion to be included in the next update. I am currently in the middle of making a nice set of scenarios that would get a lot clearer without me having to improvise certain units.

#364 - F-7MP Skybolt [F-7PG] -- Pakistan (Air Force), 2002, Grifo and #363 - F-7P Airguard -- Pakistan (Air Force), 1990, J-7 Export

Loadout Typo, 250kg GPB, Long-Range has 500kg Bombs, 500kg GPB, Long-Range has 250kg Bombs. Also Range and Profile states the same range though one is 500kg heavier.

[hellfish6]

Thanks for adding the generic light CATOBAR carrier. Just what I was looking for!

[MR_BURNS2]

Please review the speeds of #2171 - JHSV 1 Spearhead -- United States (Navy), 2013, Catamaran, her cruise speed is set to 35kn, just 5 kn under full speed and not very economical

Is there a list of requests that have been made but not added? I have some ideas but I don't want to throw in duplicates.

[Helderik]

Request for addition to database: Dutch Karel Doorman Class support ship (A833). The ship is currently in sea trails and enters service in 2015. It replaces Zuiderkruis A832 and Amsterdam (A836), see wikipedia page.

Since I cannot post links yet, these links won't work with the intentional changes'.

en_wikipedia_org/wiki/Karel_Doorman-class_support_ship (ENGLISH)
www_defensie_nl/organisatie/marine/inhoud/materieel/schepen/joint-logistic-support-ship-jss (DUTCH)

Let me know if this is sufficient, much more available but mainly in Dutch. I can translate more information if you'd like.

Thank you!
