cmo-db-requests's Issues

Mogami Frigates

DB Selector

DB3K

Affected DBID(s)

Japan FFM 1 FFM 3 Mogami

Description of Problem

Your description of FFM 1 and FFM3 is backwards as far as your inclusion of each entries Mk41 VLS Mounts/Stores/Weapons goes... (You have it listed for FFM 1 in the top line descriptor and not for FFM 3... but the FFM 3 has it and the FFM 1 does not in the Mounts/Stores/Weapons).

FFM 1 is 3292
FFM 3 is 3293

Recommended Fix

Either

  1. Change the description of the ship in the top row of 3392 to
    FFM 1 Mogami -- Japan (Maritime Self-Defense Force), 2022 30DX, FFBNW
    (Simply deletes Mk41 VLS comment)
    and... Add "Mk 41 VLS" to entry 3393 FFM 3 Mogami

or
2. Since Both are listed as having Mk41 VLS by wiki... just add a Mk41 VLS to 3292 and add the "Mk41 VLS" text descriptor to 3293.

Bring Recoilless Rifles to DB3K

DB Selector

DB3K

Affected DBID(s)

Anti-Tank Sect, Recoilless Rifles

Summary of Changes

Recoilless rifles still see use in modern conflict, and are even still in the inventories of several professional militaries. For example, the Venezuelan Army still uses the M40A1 106mm Recoilless rifle today, and other entries found in the CWDB can still be seen in use in various low intensity conflicts across the world.

No reason not to just transfer them all over and mark them as generic in my opinion.

Vasily Bykov main armament correction

DB Selector

DB3K

Affected DBID(s)

#2890 - PK Vasily Bykov [Pr.22160] (Russia [1992-] - 2017) Accuracy issues.

Summary of Changes

Vessels main armament is 1 x 76mm AK-176MA NOT 57mm AU-220. See photos and the DB photo itself.
No sign of the quad 3M47 Komar/Gibka SAM mounting in any photos.
No Containerised Kalibr/SS-N-27/30 on any in service vessel.
It appears that perhaps this is an optional war load but is NOT routinely fitted.
Two davits for 7m RHIB.
There is a stern well deck capable of handling a large RHIB 11m or typically the armoured Project 02800 assault landing boat. (Pr.02800 is Not in DB3K)
The Bykov in its current form is different from the many models of it shown at defence exhibitions and cannot carry both containerised SSM, a helicopter and the stern RHIB. The containerised SSM would have to occupy the helicopter deck as there is no stern modular mission bay contrary to the original models.
Link to the You Tube documentaries show the vessels interior and shows that this is primarily a constabulary type vessel in its current form using a helicopter and the fast boats from the stern dock.

Comments

  1. The following detailed analysis of the "newest" version of the FC-31 points to the existence of 6 External hardpoints in addition to the two Internal weapon bays with 2 Internal hardpoints in each of the bays. The 1st article identifies the YJ-83K and the YJ-91A/YJ-91 as possible armaments for the External hardpoints. Once you do the math for the maximum take-off weight minus the weight of the ordinance and fuel, the above suggested loadouts seem to be plausible.

  2. I also found corroborating evidence of the existence of the 6 External hardpoints in the 2nd article provided. Please let me know if you need any additional information...

This also applies to the CWDB.

This is mostly a fluff request, since a lot of the features these truck variants would add are out of the scope of the game in its current state. It would be interesting however to kit out ground units with accurately modelled TOE&Es of all their trucks and such.

4842 Apache Guardian AH.Mk.2 [AH-64E]

Summary of Changes

AMMENDMENT

#4842 - Apache Guardian AH.Mk.2 [AH-64E] (United Kingdom - 2023) Service Entry name and load outs are inaccurate! #4842 - Apache Guardian AH.Mk.2 [AH-64E] First air frame was delivered in November 2020 and began flight testing as of July 2021. In an entry level configuration it will be ready for service as of 2022 not 2023.

It is very unlikely to be called the Apache Guardian in UK service and all current official references are to the Apache AH-64E so likely to be AH.Mk.2 Apache [AH-64E].

There are no plans to integrate Brimstone (2) and the UK has placed substantial orders for AGM-114R and AGM-114-N4/P4 HELLFIRE and would use existing inventories.

Stinger ATAS is unlikely for the vast majority of missions and should be omitted. No sign of UK ever having anything but tiny stock of Stingers for SF use?

The UK does not use 2.75" Hydra rockets it has retained the CRV-7 and will continue to use these with AH-64E.
Weapons and load outs wise in the near term UK AH-64E will use the same AGM-114 CRV-7 combo's as the AH-64D

There is a possibility of JAGM in the mid term?

The 11 Jan 2022 article gives the impression the UK order of JAGM is in flux but still appears BRIMSTONE is NOT on the agenda due to integration costs. A case of Brimstone (2) being too expensive and not offering enough bang for the buck.
As an aside the term Brimstone 2 is a bit dated as MBDA don't make the original MM wave Brimstone anymore and production is now all the dual mode version trialled as Brimstone DMS and evolved into Brimstone 2, in production it is now just referred to as Brimstone.

Any how all a bit picky I know but its not as if the UK's primary attack helicopter shouldn't it be represented with some degree of precision.
For consideration anyway.

Thanks
K

This is largely speculation since I can't find any concrete data on the AS-61A-4s avionics in particular. It was used as transports by the Ejercito de Venezuela, so this is likely overkill. The AS-61A-4s were developed from 1975 and delivered in 1984 by Agusta, so this is a direct copy from its current DB entry.

Comments

4 ordered, 3 in inventory, one was lost in 2006 in a crash.

A lot of the avionics as I've already mentioned is speculation. The AS-61A-4 were manufactured in 1975 by Augusta so I'm assuming the avionics stayed the same. The only role I can find for them is their usage as troop transports and SAR, so I'd assume that all ASW avionics and weapons would not be present. I did not include them here.

I also found no information on the communications aside from the data link which is used for sonar anyway.

Here is a new version of missile that has integrated active radar/passive IIR dual mode seeker. Benefit is one missile can do both land and sea strike. Note air and sea launched variants. Looks like PLAN JH-7a is the initial carrier. Pictures 2021.

Suffren SSN, wrong type & name update

DB Selector

DB3K

Affected DBID(s)

#581,S 6XX Suffren [Barracuda]

Summary of Changes

  1. Type
    Its submarine type is set to "2003,SS - Attack/Fleet Submarine".
    That submarine is nuclear-powered, I thus suggest that its type is set instead to "2008,SSK - Hunter-Killer Submarine".
    It may prevent in game confusion, such with unit type trigger.

  2. Name
    Its name could be changed to "S 635 Suffren [Barracuda]"

Basically just a direct copy of the 12.7mm Sniper Section entries but with a 7.62mm Sniper Rifle. Some nations do not have 12.7mm Anti-Material Rifles in their inventories (for example, Venezuela). The 7.62mm Burst has similar accuracy but slightly less damage than the 12.7mm, possibly higher rate of fire to a 10 round burst instead of 5 to add some differntiation between it and the 12.7mm.

Can also be included in the CWDB.

Doesn't really need sources since it is generic. Here is some sources on Venezuelan sniper inventory however.

Aircrraft_4454, Aircrraft_2917

Summary of Changes

Please consider adding YJ-83K and YJ-91A/YJ-91 (ASM/ARM) to both FC-31 variants...

Please consider adding the following loadouts to both variants of the FC-31 (#2917 & #4454 in DB):
  1. A Short-Range Loadout of: 4x EXTERNAL YJ-83K's (#2137 in DB) + 2x INTERNAL PL-12C's (#2108 in DB)

  2. A Long-Range Loadout of: 2x EXTERNAL YJ-83K's (#2137 in DB) + 2x INTERNAL PL-12C's (#2108 in DB) + 2x EXTERNAL 1700L Drop Tank (#1533 in DB)

  3. A Short-Range Loadout of: 4x EXTERNAL YJ-91A's (#2874 in DB) + 2x INTERNAL PL-12C's (#2108 in DB)

  4. A Long-Range Loadout of: 2x EXTERNAL YJ-91A's (#2874 in DB) + 2x INTERNAL PL-12C's (#2108 in DB) + 2x EXTERNAL 1700L Drop Tank (#1533 in DB)

The following detailed analysis of the "newest" version of the FC-31 points to the existence of 6 External hardpoints in addition to the two Internal weapon bays with 2 Internal hardpoints in each of the bays. The 1st article identifies the YJ-83K and the YJ-91A/YJ-91 as possible armaments for the External hardpoints. Once you do the math for the max take-off weight and the weight of the ordinance, the above suggested loadouts seem to be plausible. I also found corroborating evidence of the existence of the 6 External hardpoints in the 2nd article provided. Please let me know if you need any additional information...

Summary of Changes

Only a class of 2 shops but #1682 Type 54 Jiangkai I [525 Manshan] completed MLU in 2021. Replace HQ-7 with 24 round HQ-10. ESM and ECM updated to 726 which seems to be standard ECM for most Chinese Combatants now. New decoy launchers 8x3 (current fit probably ok). CIWS is PJ-13 which is a copy of AK-630M (look at Type 022) very small CIWS not beefy. PJ-13 is the Chinese designation. Likely has the VDS (same as other 054/056). First one seems completed, Manshan.
