Summary of Changes

Updated info on fit out for sensors and weapons, noted MX-15 instead of 10 and ESM that does not seem to be on the in game platform.

Sources

Does this supercede previous info? By my mark this would entail:

• Replacement of DS30M w/ MARLIN-WS
• Raven ECM (along with the aforementioned ZEUS ESM)
• SM-2 Blk IIIB instead of IIIC, plus capability for ESSM Blk I (that should probably be in there anyway)
• IRVIN-GQ DLF and NGDS as opposed to Outfit
• MDA LOCATES LWR (though honestly this can probably just be kept generic)
• MX-15MS rather than MX-10, as mentioned
• Mk20 Mod 1

I can do all these but I just want to make sure this source isn't dated by nature of it being for Q3 2021.

In looking back this one also appears to be a Q3 2021 info sheet dated Oct 2021. The above from Lockheed and the below posted to DND website. Maybe the two together give a more complete picture?

In regards to the SM-2 there has been a FMS approved for Block IIIC missiles.

February 2022 Fact Sheet but is dated OCT21. Heard some rumblings of more changes but they have not pushed anything official out yet, trying to track something down. Adding as it is the most recent from DND showing on CSC home page.

Just noticed after seeing a comment elsewhere that the CAMM seems to have been replaced by RAM on this latest graphic. The same person noted RAM is now available in VLS. No one seems sure if this is an error or if CAMM has been dropped.

Looks like CAMM is out in favour of RIM. Nice summary with diagrams here.
