I know that you’re finding different info, but I gave you my sources and they are the sources we’ve used for everything in the game. I think we’re best to stick to one source and not try and figure out all the sources. We’re only talking about a 10KM difference here, which often means they detect the same number of hexes. And remember, we don’t give EITHER of them 400km, we’re of the opinion that EVERY country overstates the capabilities of it’s equipment.

Low? It’s one of the better ships in the equipment file IMHO. I updated the German ships to use the same radar (thanks for pointing me to the SMART-L) but it is only a Frigate. I still figure the Arleigh Burke to be about the same offensively with better defense thanks to its size, plus the use of SM2-ER on the AB means it gets better range that the Zeven Provincien which uses only SM2-MR.

Hmm, that’s a bother. I was going to go and change it, most of the prices for the ships are guesses anyway it is so hard to find the data, but then it would be much cheaper than all the other Dutch ships. So I was going to change all the Dutch ships, but then Dutch navies would be cheaper than other regions. I think we have a small balance problem in the price of the ships, but I think it is in all the ships, so as long as we get the relations relatively right it should not affect gameplay. I’ve made note of the price, I’ll see if at some point I can get things more in line. If you have any more data on ship prices, please send it along.

I think you are much more concerned about these than I am. To be honest, with all the units that get entered we pick some sources and stick to them because there is not the time to stop and Google every system for every ship. Not to mention that half the time the sources I find from Google are not a sure thing for reliability of the data. Periscope is a fairly high-end military data website (almost 200$/day membership!) and has been our best bet for a solid source. We don’t usually concern ourselves with individual units unless they come up.
If you’d really like to see it changed, the best bet would be to look through some of the equipment file data and make suggestions on new values. I’ll continue to look at this one a bit, but it’s going to have to take a bit of a back seat to some of my other duties.
Heck, with my dad being from Belgium I’d love the see the BeNeLux units be the best in game
