So a thing @davidalman.bsky.social started and that I did more of is 'fact sheets' for PLA systems that are purely based on open source info

Here's a sampling, if there's interest I can post more. Also if you want the files message me an address and I'll send them

Turn 4 update, LYII dumped LACM VLS in an attempt to kill HIMARS again to no effect. US utilized one MUX, which was intercepted by PLAAF CAP and killed, but fired up a second MUX to reveal and get a target quality track on that LYIII and a Jiangkai II and Type 076 one hex over
Also credit to my PLA side of the brain for not making things super complex by selecting an amphib assault landing JCC to deploy PLANMC onto the peninsula, which would have made things.....spicy

AUSTRALIA & NZ TRACK CHINESE WARSHIPS
China is exercising its rights to transit open ocean close to Australia - but it’s the first time modern warships, including a destroyer and frigate with an auxiliary oiler/supply ship have done this.
It raised some eyebrows in both countries that rarely see

Along the same lines this is basically the role the Jiangkai IIs play in the PLAN, although another important bit is not to mirror image because what the PLA needs and why in many cases don't map directly onto US force structure

bsky.app/profile/bret...
Oh, to be clear, I think the correct design for a frigate is to assume it is ablative armor for the fleet - its goal is to get hit by missiles and/or torpedoes and to have enough ASW/anti-missile capability that it soaks up a lot of them before exploding.

Sucks, but war sucks.

Costume design in this drama is ✨BEAUTIFUL✨ I particularly love the use of gold and black with touches of red.

Three warships including Jiangkai-class frigates belonging to the Chinese navy have been spotted sailing about 150 nautical miles, or 277km, east of Sydney.

The Australian Defence Force says the ships are being monitored as per "routine" procedures

Australia in the find out stage.

I sketched what I thought a defending PLAN ORBAT might look like; assuming this was in the midst of a major war the majority of PLAN assets would be engaged in the Pacific, with some on SLOC protection in the Indian Ocean.

That left 1 Luyang-III, 1 Jiangkai-II and 6 Jiangdaos in this AO.

Jiangkai, Jiangdao, Renhai, all the carriers obviously, Yushen LHD, they even have esoteric shit like a Type 081 MCM or a Type 072 LST

Exact count from my game notes was 20 TLAMs and 24 PLAN intercept attempts (mostly CSA-N-21 plus the CSA-N-16 off the Jiangkai II) on one impulse and then 26 CJ-10s on the following impulse (US interceptors were winchester)

So 70 rolls lol 🙃

052D Luyang III DDG, 054A Jiangkai II FFG, etc

with the Legend class it’s like a 76mm gun, 8 Harpoons, and 12 ESSMs. It’s not a perfect comparison but it’s roughly comparable to a Jiangkai II or III except fewer SAMs. But NAVSEA wants “overmatch” so I look forward to them fucking it up by asking for Conventional Prompt Strike or something
