Bugs to be fixed when there is time... Both the 240 Kaszub and the 241 Gawran have their top speeds listed as 1180 knots. I fear this may be incorrect. The AKE Lewis and Clark is listed as having a top speed of 528 knots. The GC 21 Guaicamacuto and the upgrade version are listed as having top speeds of 1,775 knots I did not find any others, but it is possible I missed them. Mark

Quick question... I don't mind going through the HUD-4 and identifying the ships for which the descriptive text is missing or incorrect (or, at least, doing as much as I can). I don't even mind finding appropriate text in various databases, online sources, etc., and posting the information so that Gunny can update the database more easily. However, I wanted to find out if there are any restrictions on using certain sources. Can the descriptions from the Harpoon Encyclopedia (http://www.harpoondatabases.com/Index.aspx) be used? That would seem a logical choice, but I did not know if there were any restrictions on using that information. Thanks in advance…

Many people don't think of Iceland as having a military, but they have a very capable coast guard.

Odd error (?) for the text for the LMCS Chickadee...as far as I can tell, it is NOT the Moroccan version of the Sigma-class corvette (which does have its own listing elsewhere in the HUD-4). As near as I can tell, the Chickadee simply a copy of the LCS 2 Independence. (There is also an LCMS 1 Oriole, which appears to be a copy of the LCS 1 Freedom). Was there a reason for adding these quasi-duplicates? Assumed export versions of the LCS? (By the way, the Chickadee is not a bad name for a small warship. These birds are 5" tall and only weigh about as much as a mouse, but put out the birdseed and you will see they are aggressive little guys!) ANW HUD-4 v…

Just downloaded the newest version of the HUD-4... AIM-7E missiles are still not working AGM-65 Maverick D and G are still not working...AGM-65B Mavericks DO work, but it looks like this is only true if one can turn on radar (so they aren't working for A-10s...and the reason seems to be that the target is not "illuminated"). More later...the issue may at least partly be connected to how IR/laser sensors work (on the D and G Mavericks--as I recall, these created some problems with the Hellfire) and the way EO (TV) sensors work.

I'm playing around with some ideas for scenarios with Turkey as a major combatant, so I'm trying to fill in any gaps we have in their navy...
