A number of countries are missing from the database. This post requests the addition of Belarus. Belarus has no navy, of course, but it has a substantial air force. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Belarus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusian_Air_Force 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

Again, I'm posting a few knowing they won't be added for a while, but I figure I should do it now before I forget Franklin SSBN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Fran...class_submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Benjamin_..._%28SSBN-640%29 We have a fictional SSN Franklin class, but not the real boomers.

The text for the ACV Bay is very odd...it describes them as missile boats armed with Penguins when the only weapon they carry is a 7.62 mm. machine gun. Suggested text: A patrol boat employed by the Australian Customs Service. A similar class of vessels is used by Yemen.

Dassault Falcon 900 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Falcon_900 "The Dassault Falcon 900 is a French-built corporate jet aircraft made by Dassault Aviation." --Wikipedia Widely used by various military services. ANW HUD-4 v1.11

Skate class submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skate_class_submarine ANW HUD 4 v. 1.1 b 7

Listed in the descriptive text as carrying Harpoons and Gabriels, but they actually have Exocets. Possibly the wrong text entry was used? Edit...sorry, I put in the wrong class by accident. The P 20 Al Fateh is the one that has a much more correct description, although the machine guns are different. ANW HUD 4 v1.11

Diana-class patrol vessel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMS_Diana_%28P520%29 "HDMS Diana is the first ship in Diana-class patrol vessel built to patrol in the Danish territorial waters. The ship is named after the Roman goddess of the hunt. Diana, like all its sister ships, built in Faaborg yard.[1] The ship was built to replace the aging Barsø class, which had become obsolete.[2] The ship is equipped with a single Stan Flex container position, but can not use all types of containers as there are installed the associated equipment to the most advanced of its kind. The position is primarily used for environmental projects and will here have placed an environmental co…

A number of countries are missing from the database. This post requests the addition of Chad. Chad has a fair amount of air defense equipment and a small air force (some of which it captured from Libya). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_military http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Air_Force 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

Aermacchi S-211 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aermacchi_S-211 "The S-211 is a small tandem two-seat shoulder-wing monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear and powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4C turbofan.[1] Also, the aircraft was designed for a secondary close air support capability with four underwing hardpoints for the carriage of weapons and other external stores." --Wikipedia Used mostly as a trainer, but could be used as a light attack aircraft (and probably was by nations with little else in their airforce); used by both the Philippines and Haiti.

Søløven-class fast patrol boat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_class_fast_patrol_boat "Denmark purchased six Søløven-class fast patrol boats, with the larger hull form and the 3-Proteus powerplant of the Brave class and the wooden construction of Ferocity. Armament consisted of two 40 mm Bofors guns and four torpedoes.[7][8] The first two boats, Søløven and Søridderen were built by Vospers (with Søløven being paid for by the United States and hence given the nominal US designation PT-821), with the remaining four boats being built under license by the Royal Dockyard, Copenhagen.[9] They were placed into reserve in 1988, and disposed of when the Flyvefisken class p…

El Salvador could easily be involved in low level Central American conflicts. Its air force includes Israeli transports and A-37 attack aircraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_El_Salvador http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_of_El_Salvador http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_of_El_Salvador 1.

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

Gabon might get overlooked by some people, but it could be a good element in a small or medium-sized scenario. Wtih one missile boat, several patrol vessels, and an air force that includes Mirage F-1s and Alpha jets, this is country that could do some serious damage to poorly equipped (or poorly prepared) opponents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Gabon 1.

Tu-444 Supersonic Business Jet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-444 A proposed platform...might have some interesting applications for scenarios...one may assume the first ones get built around 2018... Database text: Supersonic business jet employed by corporations, billionaires, and government agencies. ANW HUD 4 v1.11 -------- A recommendation for these proposed platforms (and some recent existing ones, too), by the way...obviously, in some cases, some of the information will not be necessary. Would it make sense to create a platform anyway, making a "best guess" for the details that are not known for certain, so it can at least be used i…

Aggressive class minesweeper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_class_minesweeper "The Aggressive class minesweepers are a class of US-built minesweepers. They are designated as MSO (Mine Sweeper Ocean), distinguishing them from the smaller coastal MSCs and inshore MSIs." --Wikipedia Just another old US class that made its way into various other navies as time went on...in this case, four served in the Spanish Navy, through the 1990s.
