reported Arleigh Burke - BGM_109B is actually an RGM-109C

[Northstar98]

Hi everyone,

In the new (albeit non-functional) payload selection for the Arleigh Burke, the RGM-109C is called BGM_109B:

 

The BGM-109B is the legacy designation (apart from the BGM-109G Gryphon, all BGM designations were designated to RGM (surface ship-launched) and UGM (submarine-launched) after 1986) for the TASM or Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile.

What we actually have in DCS is the RGM-109C Tomahawk Block II/III (should be III) TLAM-C, which is the conventional land-attack version.

As such, this should be renamed to "RGM-109C Tomahawk Block III TLAM-C" as this is what the missile actually is/should be.

See this for further reading.

Incidentally:

Instead of "MAIN" and "SECONDARY", this should be forward VLS and rear VLS (or forward/rear Mk 41 / Mk 41 VLS).

Also, it would be nice if the SM-2MR and ER were formatted correctly, i.e. RIM-66M-x SM-2MR Block III/IIIA and RIM-156A SM-2ER Block IV

Thank you, reported.

Just as an addendum to this, I've attached an updated Arleigh_Burke_IIa.lua which fixes this issue.

Though there are a few other things I'd personally change:

Spoiler

• Rename DDG Arleigh Burke IIa to DDG 51 (Arleigh Burke) Flight IIA, which more accurately follows real-life designation.
• Increase GT.airWeaponDist to 240760 m (130 nmi) [source]
• Increase GT.airFindDist to range of AN/SPY-1D (no public figures but claimed to be able to detect golf ball-sized targets at >165 km and ballistic missile-sized targets in excess of 500).
