TAURUS KEPD 350E is designed to penetrate dense air defences by utilising very low level terrain-following flight in order to neutralise high-value stationary and semi-stationary targets. Its highly effective dual stage warhead system MEPHISTO, combines the capability of defeating Hard and Deeply Buried Targets (HDBT) and a blast and fragmentation capability to take out high-value point and area targets.

In addition to the basic version of the TAURUS KEPD 350, a family of modular rockets (see diagram) is now available, which can be equipped with different types of BC and can be launched from different carriers:

  • The TAURUS KEPD-150 (TAURUS L) is a lightweight version with smaller fuel tanks and lightweight BC for placement on less load-bearing media.
  • TAURUS MP (Modular Payload) - a variant that allows you to install any payload as a combat unit.
  • TAURUS M - a variant with a cassette warhead designed to engage small distributed targets (air defense positions, airfields, armoured vehicle clusters, etc.). The cassette warhead can be used to equip it with a cassette warhead:
  • SMART-SEAD Self-Aneglecting Combat Elements (SEAEs) to engage air defence systems and armoured vehicle clusters. The SMART-SEAD has a mass of about 12 kg and is equipped with a two-spectral infrared target coordinator, millimeter range (94 GHz) search radar, radio altimeter, parachute stabilization and braking system. BC type “shock core”, armor penetration up to 150mm.
  • MUSJAS 1 shrapnel submunitions weighing about 4 kg and MUSJAS 2 with a remote fuse and weighing up to 18 kg (developed by Saab Bofors Dynamics AB). The former are designed to destroy open-air manpower and unarmed vehicles, while the latter are designed to destroy armored vehicles and structures.
  • STABO concrete bombs to defeat runways (runways). STABO contains tandem-placed cumulative and blast charges. After dropping, the ammunition is dropped by parachute; when the bomb falls on the runway, it triggers a cumulative charge that penetrates the runway covering and then detonates the main explosive charge. The blast charge is detonated at a slower rate than the maximum damage to the runway is achieved. The bomb weighs 16.8 kg, is 602 mm long and has a hull diameter of 132 mm.
  • TAURUS HPM (High Power Microwave) - a missile equipped with a special warhead with a microwave emitter of high power to disable enemy information systems and energy sources.
  • TAURUS CL (Container Launched) - a missile designed to be launched from a transport and launch container using an integrated launch accelerator from ground and surface carriers.
  • TAURUS T - a variant of the missile adapted to be dropped from military transport aircraft (C-130 Hercules or Airbus A400M) by means of a special parachute system.

AS.34 Komoran 2

Spoiler

The Kormoran 2 missile retains the dimensions, center of gravity position and external shape of the Kormoran 1; however, the Kormoran 2 has a much larger warhead, longer range, more launch modes and greater electronic countermeasures resistance. Kormoran 2 has essentially the same performance envelope as the original missile, but with enhancements that enable it to perform its mission much more effectively. Kormoran 2. The new seeker improves discrimination- facilitating target selection and acquisition, and offers greater electronic countermeasures resistance. This is achieved with only 60 percent of the volume and half the weight of the previous Kormoran 1 seeker. The use of digital technology that allowed the downsizing of the seeker, processing electronics and strapdown inertial navigation system also enabled the Kormoran 2 to have a 40 percent larger warhead, with a new fuze and greater explosive power. The warhead makes up 35 percent of the missile’s launch weight.
A new Bayern Chemie four-nozzle ring booster motor with 63,000 Newton-second impulse is also being added. This new motor enables the missile to be deployed by maritime patrol aircraft, like the Atlantic, and other relatively slow aircraft. The higher impulse also allows the electronic ignition of the SNPE Eole IV solid-propellant sustainer motor to be delayed until the missile falls to its cruising speed of Mach 0.9. The high-speed glide contributes to the system’s 30+ kilometer range.

An MBB MODUS microprocessor, the brains of the missile, is fed the aircraft and target position before launch. During flight, the microprocessor receives input from the inertial navigation system and the TRT AHV-14 radar altimeter to control the missile’s flight path from the sea-skimming height up to the terminal attack phase. The MODUS can detect ECM emissions and initiate counters, and can also be reprogrammed to meet new threats. The missile remains passive until 15 to 20 seconds prior to impact in order to evade detection and limit reaction time.

There are four firing modes with the Kormoran 2: Silent firing, where the target is acquired outside the maximum missile range and the missile is launched without additional radar transmission; Radar firing, where the target position is fed in or updated by the aircraft radar at the launch point; Visual firing, a short-range alternative for ad hoc targets or in case of avionics failure; and Offset firing, where the target data are fed through the datalink to the launch aircraft from another source, such as a maritime patrol aircraft.

Dornier Do 215

The Dornier Do 215 was a light bomber, aerial reconnaissance aircraft and later a night fighter, produced by Dornier originally for export, but in the event most served in the Luftwaffe . Like its predecessor, the Dornier Do 17, it inherited the title “The Flying Pencil” because of its slim fuselage. The successor of the Do 215 was the Do 217.

Design and development

The Do 17 fast bomber elicited renewed interest from foreign air forces (after the initial Do 17K series production). In July 1937, Dornier therefore prepared a pre-series Do 17 Z-0 as a demonstrator for export customers. It was given the civil registration D-AAIV. While this aircraft was essentially identical to the production Do 17Z, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium assigned the designation Do 215 to the export version. However, in spite of the Do 215 being designated as an export version, many Do 215s were used by the Luftwaffe.

Dornier Do 215 - bomber

The first prototype, Do 215 V1, retained the nine-cylinder Bramo 323 Fafnir radial engine of the Do 17Z. It crashed during testing. The second prototype, Do 215 V2, was equipped with the Gnome-Rhône 14-NO radial engine. It safely completed testing, but did not attract export orders because it did not offer a notable performance increase over the Do 17Z. The third prototype, Do 215 V3, used a 1,175 PS (1,159 hp) Daimler-Benz DB 601 Ba inline engine. In 1937, Dornier had used the earlier Daimler-Benz DB 600 powerplants in the Do 17L and Do 17M subtypes. The Do 215 V3, which first flew in the spring of 1939, demonstrated a noticeable improvement in flight performance compared to the earlier prototypes.

Series production of the Do 215 A-1 began in 1939. The order, intended for the Swedish Air Force, was stopped in August 1939, due to the political situation. The 18 extant aircraft were embargoed and pressed into Luftwaffe service upon the outbreak of World War II.
Some modifications were made and the resulting aircraft were redesignated as Do 215 B-0 through Do 215 B-5. This was the standard production version. According to official figures, 105 Do 215s were produced between 1939 and 1941 by Dornier in its factory at Oberpfaffenhofen.

Operational history

The Luftwaffe initially operated the Do 215 as a bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. Aircraft equipped with Rb 20/30 and Rb 50/30 cameras were used for long-range reconnaissance missions, primarily at the Ob.d.L Oberkommando der Luftwaffe. Later aircraft operated as night fighters. The last of the Do 215s were retired in late 1944.

Variants

Do 215 V1
Dornier Do 17 Z-0 used as first prototype of Do 215 and crashed during trials.

Do 215 V2

Renamed remaining 15 aircraft of A-1 version operated by Luftwaffe.

Do 215 B-2
Rebuilt with sliding cover under bomb bay and equipped with three Rb 50/30 cameras in bomb bay used for reconnaissance missions.

Do 215 B-3
Two aircraft similar to B-1 sold to Soviet Union.

Do 215 B-4
Improved reconnaissance version developed from B-2 version and equipped with Rb 20/30 & Rb 50/30 cameras.

Do 215 B-5
Night fighter version called Kauz III. 20 aircraft converted from B-1 and B-4 versions with Do 17 Z-10 Kauz II nose-equipped with IR searchlight for the Spanner infrared detection system. Do 215 B-5s were armed with four 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns grouped above the IR light and two 20 mm MG FF cannon in the lower nose. The Spanner system proved to be useless and the Lichtenstein 202 B/C radar was installed on some aircraft starting from the middle of 1942.

Of the versions of the Do 215 that existed, the A-1 bomber with DB 601 engines, and the B-0 and B-1 export machines were both re-equipped with FuG 10 navigation devices for the Luftwaffe. The Do 215 B-5 was the first night fighter to be equipped with the FuG 202 Lichtenstein B/C navigation device. These aircraft saw action from January 1941 to May 1944 with I. and IV./NJG 1 and II./NJG 2.

Surviving aircraft

Until recently, none of the Dornier twin-engined bomber variants were thought to have survived. In September 2007, a Dornier Do 215 B was found largely intact in the shallow waters of the Waddenzee, the Netherlands. This aircraft was flown by a Luftwaffe fighter ace Helmut Woltersdorf. On the night of 6/7 July 1941, Woltersdorf shot down a Vickers Wellington, but his Dornier was damaged by return fire and crash-landed off the Dutch Coast. The area where the Dornier came down was named as a seal sanctuary and thus it escaped the attentions of scrap merchants and souvenir hunters. At low tide the aircraft becomes visible.
The Aircraft Recovery Group from the Airwar Museum at Fort Veldhuis in Heemskerk received permission to partially recover the Do 215. The only missing part of the aircraft is the tail section which lies 70 ft (21 m) to the rear of the main wreckage. The Daimler-Benz DB 601 engines were recovered along with the starboard portion of the cockpit.

Would also love the addition of DM53’s incendiary core

2 Likes

it has an incendiary core?
seeing as how the incendiary effect for the gepards 30mm AP works… this would be lethal. like an APHEFSDS lol

Incendiary core makes it so the shrapnel does more damage inside the vehicle aswell as damaging the components much more easily

yeah but did the 53 have it irl?
if so… bug report lol

I think there is already a Bug report from @FurinaBestArchon but idk

While beeing from Interwar (or maybe still in use in the interwar, at least the pictures are from interwar) still fit for WW1 mode, because of the gun, would be this nice vehicle with some armor and the 3,7 cm Flak M14 “Pom-Pom” which is the 1 pounder pom pom. It is mounted most likely on a 1935 Ford V8-51.

Ammo would be the same as the 3,7 cm Sockel-Flak L/14,5 uses, but at 550m/s instead of mere 355-360m/s

I will only note the 2 usable rounds again, there was later also a 600g Aphe shell developed, but i couldnt find much info on it anyway.

FG1250 being on either the panther A or G is WAY overdue. All the experimental modifications alot of vehicles get but one of the panthers cant get an FG1250 IR mod?

It’s really ugly so I’d rather it be a premium than every Panther running around with one lol
Especially because it’s pretty much useless

how about the Panther F getting some other of its weird modifications like the loading assisted breech, or the sight stabilization/gun disconnect, where the gunner could hold down the trigger but the gun would only fire if the gun and the sight where in sync

2 Likes

isn’t that already ingame with the panther f having a faster reload than all the other panthers?

does it? Havent played it for a while so you may be right

I looked it up in the wiki. Difference between the G and F are 0.7 seconds ace reload. Not much but the panther f is already the best 6.0 panther with the range finder

They could add this, it would be a great feature, but then they would have to ‘stabilise’ just about every french tank after 5.0 as they used a similar system.

Would also be good to have in naval as there are fire control systems which do the same thing, Britain I know for a fact had them on the admiralty fire control table.

IMO such a system should only work in scoped mode, where you can hold down your LMB an have it work the same way

Sounds good to me, so long as it was to be implemented it would be a particularly fantastic mechanic.

Surprisingly enough, there is not a suggestion for the German D-Class Heavy Cruisers.

image

It is almost entirely an up-armoured Deutschland class, little if nothing was increased other than the main belt which went from just 3.1 inches, to 8.7 inches. Making her around 5000 tonnes heavier than the Deutschland’s, (and royally pissing off the Royal Navy).

Would have to be 6.3 as her belt is better than even HMS Invincible. Plus DPM and fantastic AA, torpedo’s and a turtleback would make her formidable.

I will be writing a proposal post for it soon.

The first one very much just looks like the Mk20 variant, espresso the gun which seems to just be a RH202
