Admirable Class Minesweeper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admirable-class_minesweeper The Admirable-class is already listed with the Philippine navy. Are the ships used by Mexico (quite a few got sold to Mexico, it appears) and other countries the same or do they need their own entries in the database? Admittedly, the Admirable is an old class of ship, and the range on its 76 mm gun is only 3 miles, but against smaller patrol vessels, unarmed merchants, drug runners who only have small arms, etc. it is probably enough to ruin your day. (Actually, I could see one falling into the hands of a cartel or being used as a pirate ship...)

Auk Fleet Minesweeper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auk-class_minesweeper Is the Mexican version different enough from the Philippine version to need a separate entry in the database?

C-58 Patrol Boat http://www.worldwarships.com/class/c-58 Text for database: Large Algerian patrol vessel

Viper (KAL-40) Patrol Boat http://www.worldwarships.com/class/viper-kal-40 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KRI_Viper Text for database: The KAL-40-class (or PC-40-class or Viper-class) is a group of patrol boats employed by the Indonesian navy, equipped with Russian 25 mm. and 12.7 mm. machine guns.

Xian Y-7 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xian_Y-7 http://blogs.defensenews.com/intercepts/2013/01/china-confirms-y-7-for-aew-for-carrier-ops/ "Carrier-based AWACS variant [of the Y-7]....has 4 rudders like E-2 AEW" --Wikipedia I suppose all the variants could be added, including the MA60 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xian_MA60), but the "Chinese E-2" should probably get priority as that really could be a game-changer in a scenario. ANW HUD-4 v1.11

I tried to place the SA 321G Super Frelon (and the variants, the SA 321 Ga and the Chinese Zhi-8) on carriers, but they are not listed as carrier-capable aircraft (i.e., they don't show up in the list of aircraft that can be added to a carrier). I suspect this is a database issue, so I figured I better report it. Thanks! ANW HUD 4 v1.11

Costa Sur Amphibious Transport (Argentina) http://www.worldwarships.com/class/costa-sur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA_Bah%C3%ADa_San_Blas_%28B-4%29 "an Amphibious cargo ship of the Argentine Navy, capable of discharging landing craft, troops, vehicles and cargo." --Wikipedia ANW HUD 4 v1.11 (I know Gunny won't be adding new platforms for a while, but I'm posting these as I find them so he'll have the material available when he needs it.)

Cannon class destroyer escort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannon_class_destroyer_escort "The Cannon class destroyer escorts were built primarily for ocean anti-submarine warfare escort service during World War II.....After the end of World War II the United States Navy transferred many ships of the Cannon class to other navies." --Wikipedia Some Cannons are already in the database (as the Philippine PF-78), but I was not sure if the Greek and Uruguayan ones (which served until about 1990) needed to be added, too, or if they are all the same (same sensors, same weapons, etc.).

Point class sealift ship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_class_sealift_ship "The Point class is a class of six roll-on/roll-off sealift ships procured under a Private Finance Initiative and available for use as naval auxiliaries to the British armed forces. They were the result of the Strategic Defence Review and are designed for the strategic transport of military cargoes and vehicles in times of need. The UK Ministry of Defence has purchased a 22-year charter from Foreland Shipping (previously named "AWSR Shipping"), who own, operate and crew the ships, utilising them as merchantmen when they are not required for military service. The small British crews are pr…

The text provided for the ADS 1 Cape Cod is actually the text for the French A 769 Dupuy de Lome. Since the ADS 1 is a fictional platform, I'm not sure WHAT she is supposed to be or what the descriptive text should be. It has room for 12 aircraft, up to V/STOL aircraft, but no magazines for supporting them by providing weapons. (This can be solved, by the way, by giving the aircraft a loadout when it is added using the Edit/Units/Edit Aircraft command.) Is she a light carrier or a support ship? The only thing I can be sure of is that she is NOT a French spy ship.

Minor database issue...the text for the HMAS 215 Stalwart is a bit off. First, the ship is listed as the A 215 A 215 HMAS Stalwart, which looks a bit odd...one of the two "A 215"s should be taken out. Also, the ship was not a cargo vessel. Replacement text might be... "Australian support and command vessel that served as the flagship of the RAN during the 1980s."

Boeing AH-6https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_AH-6 Is it different enough from the MH-6 to need its own entry? I notice it can carry Stinger missiles for air-to-air combat...I don't think the MH-6 can do that. ANW HUD 4 v1.11

OH-58 Block II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_OH-58_Kiowa https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/ausa-bell-starts-oh-58-block-ii-flight-demo-377946/ http://www.bellhelicopter.com/MungoBlobs/603/847/EN_OH-58D-BlockII_FactSheet.pdf Is it different enough from the OH-58D that it needs an extra entry in the HUD-4 database?

Not sure if this is a game engine issue or a database issue or something I'm doing wrong, but I am still having trouble with Mavericks. I cannot get the AGM-65Ds or -65Gs to fire from the Block 52 F-16s. As I recall, there was a problem with some weapons that had IR sensors (I think some of the Hellfires had this issue as well) and these are Mavericks that use IR targeting, so it may be a similar problem.

A couple of minor corrections are needed for the MCM Avenger. 1. Crew and displacement are listed as 0. This probably does not affect gameplay, as the ship's damage points are listed, but it looks odd. 2. The ship's sensors only include radar; it does seem to have some kind of sonar system (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenger_class_mine_countermeasures_ship), although I don't know whether that would be modeled or not in Harpoon. 3. The ship carries mine the AN/SLQ-48 remotely operated mine disposal system. I'm not sure how this should be modeled in Harpoon, or if it should simply be listed in the descriptive text, etc. ANW HUD 4 v1.11

Archer class submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_class_submarine "The Archer class submarines are the newest class of diesel-electric submarines in active service with the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). Originally launched as the Swedish Navy Västergötland class submarines HMS Hälsingland and HMS Västergötland in 1986 and 1987, the two submarines were sold to Singapore in November 2005 and relaunched in June 2009 and October 2010 respectively after extensive modernisation by Kockums, which included a refit to Södermanland class standards, the insertion of a new hull section with an air independent propulsion system, and additional climatisation for use i…

Challenger class submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_class_submarine "The Challenger class is one of the submarine classes of the Singapore Navy. They are extensively modernized versions of ex-Sjöormen class submarines." --Wikipedia Looks like it was modified enough that it will need its own platform listing. ANW HUD-4 v1.11
