RE: Cold War Database 1946-1979 Platform Requests
Just bumping these..thanks!ORIGINAL: Overlord
Ok..first shot at this..
for BOTH CWDB and DB3000:
Argentine Daggers and Mirages should NOT have ATA refuel capability..
loadout requests:
A-4B need a 3x Mk82 LDGP/2xDT as Standard War Loadout NOT the 6xMk82s. Also change title from A-4B Caza to just A-4B.
A-4C need a 2x Mk82 and a 4x Mk82 both with 2xDTs as Standard War Loadout.
A-4Q need a 2x Mk82 and a 4x Mk82 *snakeye* with 2x DT as Standard War loadout. The Navy A-4Qs were the ONLY A-4s to use snakeye 500lbs bombs.
Semper Fi!

RE: Cold War Database 1946-1979 Platform Requests
Just curious...would it be possible to add the NB-36H as a hypothetical platform?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_NB-36H
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_aircraft
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_ ... Propulsion
The B-36H is already in the CWDB, so I supposed the only real change would be to give it a nuclear engine, which I guess means it would never run out of fuel.
Related to this, would it be possible to also add the Tupolev Tu-95LAL, the Soviet's nuclear-powered bomber, also as a hypothetical platform.

Thanks for considering these.

Hi Mgellis
The NB-36H was not nuclear powered, nor was it ever intended to be.
It was merely a flying lab to verify the feasibility of operating a nuclear reactor on-board a plane.
It worked, but the required shielding proved way too heavy, and no one was too happy about the idea of a flying nuclear reactor with all the consequences of a crash near the airbase.
If it proved feasible, there were some pretty futuristic ideas for atomic bombers on the drawing board, but the ICBM proved to be much better.
If you want a really outrageous unit/weapon added. Try this one on for size.
Project SLAM, Supersonic Low Altitude Missile (or the flying crowbar).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersoni ... de_Missile
I would LOVE to try this thing out in wargasm62.

Okay, the X-6, then, which was never built, but would have been nuclear-powered.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_X-6
In terms of scenario design, what does it mean if you have bombers that have no range limits? They aren't as fast as an ICBM, but they can go anywhere in the world, and even after they are launched, the actual attack can be called off at any time. That might be important in some scenarios.

One of my absolute favorite pieces of forgotten Cold War tech. At Mach 3 on the deck the whole thing would have glowed a dull red...

Another idea...what about a nuclear-powered version of the XB-70 Valkyrie? The Valkyrie is already in the database, as the hypothetical B-70A. What about a nuclear-powered NB-70A? This was actually briefly considered in the early stages of the aircraft's design process.
http://jalopnik.com/5705672/the-xb-70-v ... r-aircraft
http://www.wired.com/2010/12/meet-the-x ... -aircraft/
Again, my interest in these platforms is the whole question of how a nuclear-powered bomber, a bomber with no range limit, a bomber that could stay aloft for a week if it needed to, would have affected strategy and tactics during the Cold War. As before, since the B-70A is already in the database, I think all that would be necessary is to give it a nuclear engine.
Thanks for considering this one.
RE: Cold War Database 1946-1979 Platform Requests
Hi guys,
I'm looking to create some World War 2 scenarios, the Battle off Samar especially has caught my attention as it's such a mismatch between expected outcome and what actually happened, and also because there is a number of interesting "what-ifs" that could be explored this way (What if Admiral Kurita had pressed the attack and encountered the 7th Fleet Support Force? What if Admiral Lee's Fast Battleships had turned back towards the 7th Fleet at the first reports of the attack on "Taffy 3"?) but unfortunately, quite a few of the platforms aren't in the database.
Notably, the Japanese Battleships Nagato and Yamato(!) would be good to have in there, as well as the various heavy cruisers of the Takao- , Myoko-, Mogami-class, tho these could be (very roughly) approximated with the Tone-class that is already in the CWDB.
For the US side, surprisingly, most ships are there, except for the Casablanca-class escort carriers.

It would be cool, if the Concorde would be implemented in Command.
RE: Concorde
Can we add the Hypothetical Sander-Roe SR.53 and SR.177?
Jet / Rocket hybrid interceptor for local area defence that was almost ordered by west Germany (and by potentially many other NATO nations to follow)
However because of Lockheed bribes, the F104 Starfighter was chosen despite the SR177 being the preferred option.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saunders-Roe_SR.177 (has specs)
Good documentary on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ6WCP6W1Ts
The afterburner setting can trigger the rocket motor I imagine ?

RE: Cold War Database
I found a mistake, or at least I think I did, with the USSR galosh ABM. It never intercepts any kind of ballistic missile. When you manually fire it you get a message saying that the weapon has to acquire the target first even when the target missile is fie kilometers away. I checked the database out and found that the seeker for the Galosh missile is infrared and I'm not sure if that's related to the above problem.
Also, would it be possible to get the two missiles of the US sentinel program added, the Sprint missile and the Spartan Missile? Both are a great compliment to the galosh in cold war scenarios. I would post to wikipedia but I'm too new to do so.
Thanks.

The ship names and dates actually correspond to the Peruvian Navy not Canada. The HMCS St Pierre (K680) and HMCS Poundmaker (K675) were sold to Peru in 1947 and were commissioned as the Teniente Palacios and Teniente Ferre respectively.

RE: Cold War Database
Since we're seeing hypothetical units in the game, how about a weapon system that was nearly hypothetical, at least for a day or two? [:D]
Might be fun to play with these in a cold war scenario, maybe one where the US deployed them more broadly.

It would be nice to see "Kill" Markings on individual A/C,Ships,Sups.Land based units.
RE: Cold War Database 1946-1979 Platform Requests
May I suggest to add WW2 Weapon(especially Axis Ships and Aircrafts, V2 launcher facility etc ) and hypo weapons during WW2 - Nazi Germany Z-plan or Me 262 etc..)?
RE: Cold War Database 1946-1979 Platform Requests
I'm working on what's going to become a multi-day scenario and noticed that most of the US's conventional carriers lack the ability to replenish their escorts. The only DB entry I've seen that has it is the USS Ranger 1975. At the very least, all the post-WWII carriers should be able to refuel to starboard.
Midway Class (x2 out both sides): http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/0587533.jpg
Forrestal Class (hard to ID the ship but navsource lists it as USS Ranger) (x2 Starboard): http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/pix2/0583831.jpg
Kitty Hawk Class (looks like x2 Starboard): http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/0597528.jpg
