SSM Capacity of the Swedish Visby class corvette

Post by Asimov »

According to the brochure published by the shipbuilder Kockums AB, the Visby class is able to carry 8 RBS15 Mk2 anti-ship missiles, but the in-game (v 6.6.2) Visby class cannot do so, because the in-game Visby class's max missile size is 2 and the RBS15 is a size 4 missile, meaning the in-game Visby class is deprived of its most potent weapon.

The real Visby class is a compact but powerful littoral combatent due to the combination of stealth and long-range punch, but the in-game Visby class is only a lackluster ship. Is this a deliberate programming decision?

4*8 = 32, should have a missile size of 32?

I don't have the missile volume of the Visby class with me right now, but the current config of the in-game Visby class means it can only carries size 2 missiles.

I have no dog in this fight. But as of 6.7.63 The YS-2 Visby has a missile capacity of 8 and a max missile size of 2.

There are 2 versions of the RBS-15 at game start:

a. RBS-15M ASuW Size: 3

b. RBS-15 Mk3 Size: 4

As you can see neither missile can be carried by the Visby.

*Note: I am only confirming numbers in game.

I think Visby uses the RBS-15 Mk.2, But if I don't remember correctly, RBS-15 Mk.2 missiles has been upgraded to Mk.3 and I have a memory of Visby beeing able to carry the Mk.3.

Confirmed as an error, I'll see about adding this correction to the data files. Thanks

Thank you, Balthagor. Apart from the Visby-class, I have the nagging impression that there are more ships with mismatched missile size problem...but I don't have the hard data now.

dont worry, SSBN's have the same problem, they only can carry 6 missiles now, in rl they can carry up to 24 depending on class, seeing the full missile loads back would be nice, altough i understand why they did it to a certain extent.

It should also be able to carry the new RBS-15 Mk.4 currently builing in both Germany and Sweeden.

And the NMS Penguin should be classified as the RBS-12 and be a ship fired ASM.
