Quoted from Wikipedia... F-15S The F-15S is a variant of the F-15E supplied to the Royal Saudi Air Force in the mid-to-late 1990s. Saudi Arabia had previously wanted the F-15F, a proposed single-seat Strike Eagle. Saudi Arabia sought to order 24 F-15Fs, but was blocked by U.S. Congress.[82] The F-15S is almost identical to the USAF F-15E and the only major difference in the AN/APG-70 radar performance is the synthetic aperture mode.[65] The version was initially referred to as F-15XP.[82] 72 were built from 1996 to 1998.[65] In October 2007, GE announced a contract with Saudi Arabia for 65 GE F110-GE-129C engines for the F-15S in a contract worth over US$300 milli…

F-15SG Singapore is buying these; I guess they are like the F-15K built for Korea, but with different radar, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Dou...ke_Eagle#F-15SG ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b7

Are these two variants of the F-15E different enough from the ones already in the database that new platforms should be added? F-15S "The F-15S is a variant of the F-15E supplied to the Royal Saudi Air Force in the mid-to-late 1990s....The F-15S is almost identical to the USAF F-15E and the only major difference in the AN/APG-70 radar performance is the synthetic aperture mode." --Wikipedia F-15SG The F-15SG (formerly the F-15T) is a variant of the F-15E, currently ordered by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)....The F-15SG is similar in configuration to the F-15K sold to South Korea, but differs in the addition of the APG-63(V)3 active electroni…

F-23 Black Widow [#] Another "what if" platform...what if the Northrop YF-23 Black Widow was adopted instead of the F-22 Raptor (or if someone else, like Australia or Israel, had bought them)? "The Northrop YF-23 or Northrop–McDonnell Douglas YF-23 was an American single-seat, twin-engine fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The design was a finalist in the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition, battling the Lockheed YF-22 for a production contract." --Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_YF-23 http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=270 ANW HUD-4 v1.11

F-26 Frigate/Global Combat Ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_26_frigate Yes, information is limited...perhaps a speculative version could be added and updated later? ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b7

F-29 Bobcat [#] Fictional platform. A "what if" platform that assumes an aircraft based on the X-29 was purchased as a follow-up to the F-5, a light fighter similar to the F-16, and designed with export in mind. A fast and highly maneuverable aircraft, and small, making it agile and hard to hit, with a good sensor suite (similar to an F-16C) its primary drawback is limited payload (approx. 4,000 lbs. on four hardpoints). Even so, it makes a good complement to many air forces and might be widely exported, like the F-16. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-29 http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=352 <-- use this one for range, approx. 1,…

Fairchild C-123 Provider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_C-123_Provider "The C-123 Provider is an American military transport aircraft designed by Chase Aircraft and subsequently built by Fairchild Aircraft for the United States Air Force. In addition to its USAF service, which included later service with the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard, it also went on to serve most notably with the United States Coast Guard and various air forces in South East Asia. During the Vietnam War, the aircraft was used to spray Agent Orange." --Wikipedia ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Swearingen_Metroliner "The Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner or the Fairchild Aerospace Metro is a 19-seat, pressurised, twin turboprop airliner first produced by Swearingen Aircraft and later by Fairchild at a plant in San Antonio, Texas, United States." --Wikipedia Another widely used light transport, in service with several air forces around the world.

Fajr-3https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajr-3 "The Fajr-3 Artillery Rocket (Persian: فجر-۳‎) is an Iranian multiple-launch artillery rocket, a third-generation Katyusha rocket. Fajr means 'dawn' in Arabic. The 5.2-meter long, 240 millimeter-calibre Fajr-3 artillery rocket has an estimated range of 45 kilometres or 25–30 miles, weighs 407 kilograms, and carries a 45-kilogram warhead." --Wikipedia Exported to Syria, Lebanon, and Hamas, it seems. Assuming a six launcher battery, probably RoF 2, Capacity 72, DP 12 (per rocket, not per barrage). ANW HUD-4 v1.11

SSM Fajr-5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajr-5 "The Fajr-5 (Persian: فجر-۵‎, meaning "dawn-5") is an artillery rocket developed by Iran in the 1990s." --Wikipedia Used against Israel by Hamas. Also in the hands of Syria, Libya, etc. ANW HUD-4 v1.11

ANW 3.11.1 HUD4 v1.11 I was wondering if it is possible to get a version of the Perry and Ingraham FFGs that have the Mk.13 launcher and associated magazine removed? Starting in 2003, the US Navy began removing the Mk.13 from the surviving Perry class frigates in US service. http://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/Pages/Frigate.aspx http://navysite.de/ffg/ffg7class.htm I know that several of the Perrys have been used in the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean areas in operations against pirates. I would like to do some scenarios based on this, and see how the Perry/Ingraham would work in this setting. Thank you. Allen Hartzell

Fiji has a very small navy, but it does include half-a-dozen patrol boats with machine guns, etc. I could see it being part of a scenario involving a multi-national operation (peacekeeping, anti-piracy, etc.) in West Pacific waters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Fiji_Military_Forces 1. The country should be added to the country menus in the scenario editor 2. Country-appropriate platforms in the database should be linked to that country, with dates of service, etc. 3. As time allows, country-specific platforms or country-specific variations on existing platforms should be added to the database. Thanks! ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Fletcher class destroyer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher_class_destroyer http://www.destroyersonline.com/usndd/classflet.html ANW HUD-4 v1b5 I'm going to post a few older platforms that saw use into the 1960s and 1970s, suitable for Cold War scenarios. I'm not sure if all the FRAM versions of these ships are all the same, etc., so perhaps there is no need to add the extra platforms...

Flyvefisken class patrol vessel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyvefisken_class_patrol_vessel I could have sworn this was already in the HUD 4 database, but when I looked, I could not find it. ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b11

FMA SAIA 90 [#] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMA_SAIA_90 "The FMA SAIA 90 was an air superiority aircraft designed by the FMA (Fabrica Militar de Aviones) with the collaboration of Dornier in the mid-1980s. The SAIA 90 which was the last stage of the ACA (Avión Caza Argentino) project, which was started by the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional to develop an Argentine fighter aircraft." --Wikipedia Another plane that never was...a stealthy supersonic fighter produced by Brazil, probably for domestic use, and export to...??? And perhaps a carrier-capable version would have been built... ANW HUD-4 v1.11

Fokker 100https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_100 "The Fokker 100 is a medium size twin-turbofan airliner from Fokker. Low operational costs and scant competition in the 100-seat short-range class led to strong sales when it was introduced in the late 1980s, but sales fell as competition increased. Production ended in 1997 with 283 airframes delivered. In August 2009, 229 Fokker 100 aircraft remained in airline service with 47 airlines around the world." --Wikipedia Another very common airliner that someday might be added to the database.

Fokker F28 Fellowship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_28 "The Fokker F28 Fellowship is a short range jet airliner designed and built by defunct Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker." --Wikipedia Only a couple of hundred of these were built, but they ended up being used as transports, VIP aircraft, etc. with a bunch of small air forces, so perhaps it is worth including.

Retired in 1979. <-- part of my evil plan to gradually sneak in more and more platforms from the 1970s...). ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10 Later edit...the Indian version, the HAL Ajeet, was operated until 1991.
