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

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. …

Ilyushin Il-14 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-14 Another widespread aircraft (more than 3,000 built) that might be included in the database. Not a critical need--again, I'm just posting things as I find them so I don't forget--but an interesting plane and perhaps useful for some scenarios. I don't know if was designed with paratroopers in mind or if it was simply a transport. ANW HUD 4 v1.1b9

Indian Project Project 15B (upgraded Project 15A) Quoted from Wikipedia... Project 15B (upgraded Project 15A) In January 2011, the Cabinet Committee for Security gave approval for four more destroyers under Project 15B. Even though Type 15B retains the hull form of Kolkata class destroyers, there will be changes in the superstructure that will improve stealth and include better sound and infrared suppression systems. Project 15B differs from Project 15A because of the flush deck. The flush deck improves stealth as it is smoother with less angles and corners. The displacement of each Project 15B will be approximately 7,000 tonnes. As with most Indian design, th…

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.
