F123 Brandenburg

Description
This mod adds the F123 Brandenburg-class frigate of the German Navy.


It comes in 6 versions:

- as built (1994) with 16x RIM-7P, 21x RIM-116B, 4x MM38 Exocet, 12x Mk46 torpedo, 2x 20mm Rh202 and 2x SCLAR chaff dispenser

- upgraded (2007) with 16x RIM-7P, 42x RIM-116B, 4x MM38 Exocet, 12x Mk46 torpedo, 2x 27mm MLG 27, 4x MASS chaff/noisemaker dispenser

- MVP (Marine Versuchs Projekt) (2012) testing the new ESSM Block1 in a mix with RIM-7P. Rest as before.

- ESSM (2015) with 64x ESSM Block1, 42x RIM-116B, 8x RGM-84D Harpoon, 12x Mk46 torpedo, 2x 27mm MLG 27, 4x MASS chaff/noisemaker dispenser

- MLU (2025) with new Saab radars (SeaGiraffe 1X/4A, CEROS 200 CWI), KORA 40 ESM/ECM, 64x ESSM Block2, 42x RIM-116E, 8x RBS15 Mk3, 12x MU 90 torpedo, 2x 27mm MLG 27 and 4x MASS chaff/noisemaker dispenser. It should get a towed sonar, too. I might model that soon.

- a fictional MLU version (2030), with 16 added VLS-cells (so 128x ESSM Block2), as it was build with this upgrade in mind.



Thanks to MitcheLL600 (and others) for helping and using small parts!

Hey there, it seems the ram missiles have no body for me. Does that happen for others too?

Muddy: oh okay. I may alter the description. Yeah shipbuilding is complicated. At one project I had they had to remove a whole deck of a yacht and rebuild it with aluminum to save weight.

here's another thing btw... the F123 was not built with this "upgrade in mind" she was supposed to have the 32 cells, only during construction it was found that this would add to much weight too high up, wich would cause instability issues so it was reduced. other measures were also taken to insure the F123 class remains stable with the added weight of sensor retrofits over the years wich i don't think i am at liberty to disclose (this is not a warthunder forum after all lol)

so it will definetly never happen, but it is nice as a "what if" scenario :D

@Chevron 9 Thank you very much for the fix. I have addressed the RIM-116 problem by loading the mod ahead of everything else (except for SeaLifter and AnchorChain).

@USS Dogwater: fixed the MLU not showing bug. That RIM-116 bug should come from a conflicting mod. I disabled everything but Sealifter, Anchorchain and Sea Lynx and it worked.

Following this update, the RIM-116 missiles are now invisible, and the fictional 2030 variant no longer shows up in the encyclopedia or mission editor.

yeah for sure, if there had been serious tensions in 2012, we would have had every helo equipped with them in 2013. so i think it's totally fair to have them ingame

Maybe that‘s another time the „we would have it on all frigates if we had a conflict and train occasionally 6 guys on it“ thing. #JustBundeswehrthings :D
Muddyn 10 Oct @ 12:26pm 
hmmmm if so then that is a new development, when i left in 2024 we had one in total, and that was only a prototype

@Muddy: the official Bundeswehr site says the Sea Lynx has a AN/AQS-18 dipping sonar. Not at the same time as the torpedos tho, the mod needs an update so you have to either take the sonar or torpedos.
