CVA-01 aircraft carrier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CVA-01 http://navy-matters.beedall.com/cva01.htm "The CVA-01 aircraft carrier was to be a class of at least two fleet carriers that would have replaced the Royal Navy's existing aircraft carriers, most of which had been designed prior to or during World War II. The project was cancelled, along with the proposed Type 82 destroyers that would have escorted them, in the 1966 Defence White Paper, due to inter-service rivalries, the huge cost of the proposed carriers, and the difficulties they would have presented in construction, operation, and maintenance. Had these ships been built, it is likely they would have bee…

Lockheed T-33 and/or AT-33 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-33 "The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star (or T-Bird) is an American jet trainer aircraft. It was produced by Lockheed and made its first flight in 1948 piloted by Tony LeVier. The T-33 was developed from the Lockheed P-80/F-80 starting as TP-80C/TF-80C in development, then designated T-33A. It was used by the U.S. Navy initially as TO-2 then TV-2, and after 1962, T-33B. Despite its age, the T-33 remains in service worldwide." --Wikipedia The F-80 is already in the database, but I was not sure if the AT-33 should be added or not. Is it different enough to need its own entry? It sounds like it might be. And th…

Abnaki class tug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnaki_class_tug Okay, normally I wouldn't suggest a tug, except these tugs are now used as patrol boats with various Latin American and Asian navies...normally with a 3-inch gun, some AA guns, sometimes depth charge racks depending on whose navy they're with, etc. (Bizarre as it sounds, the class might need more than one listing.) Some of them are still in service and likely to celebrate their 70th birthdays at the rate they're going! ANW HUD-4 v1b6

Mantilla-class patrol vessel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantilla_class_patrol_vessel "Mantilla class patrol vessels are offshore patrol vessels use by the Argentine Coast Guard. The class was developed by the Spanish company Empresa Nacional Bazán in 1982. It is a multi-role patrol craft with twin funnels and a helicopter deck. These ships have main armament (40 mm L70 DP gun) at B position. Ships of the Mantilla class were the first vessels of the Argentine Coast Guard able to operate on board helicopters (AS.365 Dauphin or AS.350 Écureuil)." --Wikipedia The Mantilla-class has seen genuine action...one sunk a Taiwanese trawler in 1986.

This would simply be the Russian trawler with more elaborate sensors, something like this version... http://www.harpoondatabases.com/Platform.aspx?DB=1&Type=Ship&ID=451 (It's actually a larger ship; I don't know if that is important...I don't know how big the ESM equipment is...suffice that this trawler would have some advanced surveillance equipment and would be able to rely information to task forces, etc.) ...and also with a bit more in the way of weaponry...probably at least one SA-7 SAM missile for dealing with pesky helicopters, etc. I don't think it would have mounted machine guns, but maybe an RPG or two or something else it could use to defen…

A few quick comments/questions/etc. about the troop loadouts... 1) I noticed the UH-60 has a paratrooper platoon as one of its loadouts? Can it carry that many troops? 2) Would the MH-53J have room for two platoons? 3) A couple of loadouts that look like they're already in the database but have not been added to actual aircraft... * Ranger Squad * USMC Squad * Boarding Team * DEA Team 4) A few troops are in the database, but I did not find them being used anywhere (e.g., Australian forces, Navy SEALS, etc.), although it is possible I just missed them 5) If possible, it would be great special forces/marines/paratroopers from other nations c…

Gunny, Wanted to get this out now since It is fresh on my mind. Had a nice conversation with Chris Carlson and Larry Bond about this about 2.5 years ago and again more recently when I was in the editing phase of my articles on the Su-27 Flanker for Naval Sitrep Magazine. The following aircraft are commonly called stealthy and are NOT STEALTH! US: F-35 Joint Strike Fighter family. Stealth only from the FRONT Aspect ratio and then only just (the old F-117 is Stealthier from the front!) Any 4+ Generation Fighter (F/A-18E/F and earlier, F-16C/D F-15 Silent Eagle etc.) All these aircraft have a VERY LOW radar cross section size per Harpoon 4.1/5.0 rules. Eu…

Admiral Petre Bărbuneanu class corvette http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_Petre..._class_corvette ANW HUD 4 v1b6

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.
