PZL-230 Skorpion [#] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL-230_Skorpion "The PZL-230 Skorpion was a design for a Polish Air Force attack aircraft. The project was started in the late 1980s by the PZL (Polish State Aviation Works) and cancelled in 1994 due to a lack of funds. Skorpion would have had twin jet engines, a fuselage afterbody blending into the wing and small canards behind the cockpit." --Wikipedia Another plane that never was, but...what if...??? (Imagine that by 2000 it is flying and by 2010 it is a popular export, so a squadron of them shows up every once in a while in some dispute in Africa or Asia...) ANW HUD-4 v1.11

Tang-class submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_class_submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Trigger_%28SS-564%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Harder_%28SS-568%29 "The Tang class submarines were a product of the Greater Underwater Propulsion Power Program (GUPPY), which incorporated German U-boat technology into the United States Navy's submarine design. They comprised the state of the art in post-World War II conventionally powered submarine design; a design that was incorporated into and replaced by the nuclear-powered submarines of the 1950s and beyond." --Wikipedia Two of these submarines serviced with the Italian navy until 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

Myasishchev M-4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myasishchev_M-4 "The Myasishchev M-4 Molot (Russian: Молот (Hammer), USAF/DoD reporting name "Type 37",[1][2]NATO reporting name 'Bison'.[3]) is a four-engined strategic bomber designed by Vladimir Myasishchev and manufactured by the Soviet Union in the 1950s to provide a bomber capable of attacking targets in North America. The Myasishchev design bureau was formed to build such a bomber." --Wikipedia This is one we never hear about it, overshadowed I guess by the Tu- bombers. But nearly one hundred were made and they served into the 1990s. ANW HUD-4 v1.2

USCG Juniper-class seagoing buoy tender http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCG_seagoing_buoy_tender http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Juniper_%28WLB-201%29 http://www.uscg.mil/d14/cgckukui/Documents/newsletter_winter2013.pdf "Two classes of the WLB cutters have been produced. The older class, the 180 ft-class cutters, were 180 feet (55 m) long. Thirty-nine of these vessels were built from 1942–1944. All but one were constructed in the shipyards of Duluth, Minnesota. The 180 fleet, many of which served for more than 50 years, all went through different mid-life modifications that essentially resulted in three different classes of ship. All of the 180s are now retired an…

Again, I know it may be a while before these are implemented, but I figured I should post them now and get the process started... At this point, I think the single most important addition to the database would be to increase the number of functional troop loadouts. But I figured it might be helpful to make my suggestions about troop loadouts a little more specific. They are not in any particular order of preference, although the Boarding Team one is probably the most useful. 1) Please make the Boarding Team loadout functional. This is probably the most common troop loadout; it shows up on a LOT of helicopters, and just adding this would add a lot of possibili…

The database text for the Type 71 (Chinese amphibious ship) uses the text for the British LPH Ocean. Even if the two classes are very similar, this is a bit disconcerting. Recommended revised database text.... "Chinese amphibious warfare ship; normally carries one marine battalion, four landing craft, and four helicopters."

BAC TSR-2 [#]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSR-2 http://www.ausairpower.net/Profile-BAC-TSR.2.html "The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another aspect of its combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed photo reconnaissance, requirements that necessitated incorporating "state-of-the-art" av…

The PRC Type O25T Naresuan is described in the database as a conversion of a broad-beamed Leander, but I think this is incorrect. It's a Chinese ship sold to Thailand, isn't it? Anyway, I figured I should report it in case the text was in error. Here's the Wikipedia description (which probably can't be quoted word for word, but can be used a starting point, I suppose)... "HTMS (His Thai Majesty's Ship) Naresuan (FFG 421), (Thai: นเรศวร) hull number 621, commissioned in 1995, is a modified version of the Chinese-made Type 053 frigate, corporate designed between Royal thai navy and China but built by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation in Shanghai.

Alpha Jet MS2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_jet#Variants Described in Wikipedia as "Improved version with new avionics, an uprated engine, Magic Air-to-Air missiles, and a Lancier glass cockpit." I'm not sure if it is different enough from the other variants of the Alpha to need its own listing, but it looks like it might be...about 40 of these were built, for Egypt and for Cameroon.

Gowind class corvette Actually, a family of four different designs...unclear if anyone will buy them...perhaps they should be added as #/fictional platforms?
