Hongdu JL-8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongdu_JL-8 Okay, it's a "trainer" but look at the range of weapons it can carry. A lot of countries use this...in fact, with some of these countries, they may call it a trainer, but I wouldn't be surprised if it sees a lot of use in combat, at least in low threat environments.

Lublin The Lublin class or projekt 767 are minelayer-landing ships designed and built in Poland for the Polish Navy, in service since 1989 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lublin_class ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b9

Muravey class patrol boat The Muravey class is the NATO reporting name for a class of hydrofoil patrol boats built for the Soviet Navy between 1983 and 1989. The Soviet designation was Project 133 Antares. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muravey_class_patrol_boat ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b9

ARTY BM-21 Grad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-21 "The BM-21 launch vehicle (Russian: БМ-21 "Град"), (Grad) a Soviet truck-mounted 122 mm multiple rocket launcher,[1] and a M-21OF rocket[2] were developed in the early 1960s. BM stands for boyevaya mashina, ‘combat vehicle’, and the nickname grad means ‘hail’. The complete system with the BM-21 launch vehicle and the M-21OF rocket has designation as M-21 Field Rocket System. The complete system is more commonly known as a Grad multiple rocket launcher system. In NATO countries, the system (either the complete system or the launch vehicle only) was initially known as M1964. Several other countries have copied it or d…

Many classes in the HUD-4 do not have any description listed. The following is an attempt to provide some basic text that can simply be cut and paste into the database by Gunny whenever it is convenient for him to do so. Facts (dates, etc.) were gathered from Wikipedia, but I have tried to make sure I have not used the actual wording or phrasing that occurs in the Wikipedia articles. Obviously, if any of these are wrong, etc., please feel free to post corrections so that Gunny can use that information. Here are the first set of ship descriptions. They are very basic, but for now I figure they are better than nothing. If anyone has any ideas for fleshing any of them ou…

Serviola class patrol boat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serviola_class_patrol_boat ANW HUD 4 v1.1b9

A few minor issues with database text... (Sensor) TRS-3D/16 3D <-- this is, I think, a radar system, but is listed as a chaff decoy system in the descriptive text; I suspect this is incorrect (Ship) LCU 1646 (G) <-- Not sure the text is correct; I think this is simply an American LCU, although it may have been exported to Saudi Arabia; perhaps just use the text for the LCU 1610: “American class of landing craft utility vessels” (Ship) LCU 1646 <-- Not sure the text is correct; I think this is simply an American LCU, although it may have been exported to Saudi Arabia; perhaps just use the text for the LCU 1610: “American class of landing craft utility…

Heroj class submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroj_class_submarine ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b9

Just a few more ideas (again, designed so they can be done simply, using existing platforms but adding new names so Victory Conditions can be set more easily)... STRC – Village Use: STRC – Factory Description: A small rural community STRC – Residential Area Use: STRC – Factory Description: An urban or suburban community INF – Rebels Use: INF – Pirate Gunmen Description: A small force of armed rebels INF – Freedom Fighters Use: INF – “Stay Behind(s)” Description: A small force of armed freedom fighters BLDG - Safe House Use: BLDG - Small (but, if possible, add a "Small Arms" weapons mount--it would not be surprising if the people at the safe ho…

All right, I did a bit more research and I think my earlier request was in error. I also think some versions of the LCS may be armed more heavily than they are supposed to be. The LCS basically comes with the following as its “baseline” combat system… 1x BAE Systems Mk 110 57 mm gun, 400 rounds in turret and two ready service magazines with 240 rounds each.[8] 4x .50-cal machine guns 21x RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile Surface-to-Air Missiles And then it has these two open modules. I’m assuming that the “standard” versions of the Freedom-class and the Independence-class has the two 30 mm. guns (the “surface combat” modules) and the SURTASS version sacr…

Part of my evil plan to sneak as many older platforms into Harpoon as possible... Anshan class destroyer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anshan_class_destroyer Chinese destroyer, build in Russia in the 1930s (!), sold to China in the 1950s, but still active in the 1980s... ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b7

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Nicaragua http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaraguan_Air_Force http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaraguan_Navy 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

Another Baltic nation that might be involved in some squabble, perhaps with Russia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Estonia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merev%C3%A4gi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_Estonian_Navy_ships http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%95huv%C3%A4gi 1.

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

The Republic of the Congo has a fair number of older MiGs. Its ties to the Soviet Union could be the source of some interesting scenarios... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_the_Republic_of_the_Congo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congolese_Air_Force 1.
