The Soviet Designation was Storozhevoi Korabl (escort ship) Project 42. These ships were analogous to World War 2 era destroyer escorts or German Elbing class torpedo boats." --Wikipedia (Retired in the 1970s, so this is another of my "evil plot/let's include more of the Cold War" platform requests...)

Makurdi class PC http://www.harpoondatabases.com/encyclopedia/Entry1646.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Navy Nigerian patrol boats According to the Harpoon Encyclopedia, " These British-bult patrol craft were originally just armed with two 40mm guns until a 1982 refit. They stopped making regular patrols in the early 1990s and never left the pier after 1994. However in early 2011 it was reported that NNS Makurdi had undergone a refit at Lagos and was back in service." ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Grumman F-9 Cougar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-9_Cougar "The Grumman F9F/F-9 Cougar was an aircraft carrier-based fighter aircraft for the United States Navy. Based on the earlier Grumman F9F Panther, the Cougar replaced the Panther's straight wing with a more modern swept wing." --Wikipedia (More than 1,000 of these were built. Retired in 1974.) Another phase of my evil "let's the get the 1970s into the HUD!" plan. Retired in 1974, but that means it might show up in scenarios involving Vietnam or the Middle East... ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Folland Gnat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folland_Gnat "The Folland Gnat was a small, swept-wing British subsonic jet trainer and light fighter aircraft developed by Folland Aircraft for the Royal Air Force, and flown extensively by the Indian Air Force." --Wikipedia (More than 400 built.

ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10 Later edit...the Indian version, the HAL Ajeet, was operated until 1991.

Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_CF-100_Canuck "The Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck (affectionately known as the "Clunk") was a Canadian jet interceptor/fighter serving during the Cold War both in NATO bases in Europe and as part of NORAD. The CF-100 was the only Canadian-designed fighter to enter mass production, serving primarily with the RCAF/CAF and in small numbers in Belgium. For its day, the CF-100 featured a short takeoff run and high climb rate, making it well suited to its role as an interceptor." --Wikipedia (Retired 1981) ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

North American T-28 Trojan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_T-28_Trojan "The North American Aviation T-28 Trojan is a piston-engined military trainer aircraft used by the United States Air Force and United States Navy beginning in the 1950s.

Harbin SH-5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbin_SH-5 Only a few of these were built, but it might be worth including...giving the Chinese a bit more of an edge with maritime patrol... ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Beriev Be-12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriev_Be-12 I'm not sure how I missed this one (unless I submitted already and then messed up when I searched for it)... ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Piper PA-18 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-18 With 15,000 built and employed by more than a dozen armies and air forces, this should probably be added. Descriptive text for database: Widely produced two-seater aircraft often used for bush flying. It is also operated by armies and air forces around the world. ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Piper PA-28 Cherokee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_Cherokee Hey, a day without me proposing new platforms is like a day without sunshine. Descriptive text for database: One of the most popular civilian utility aircraft in the world. Seats four (pilot and three passengers). ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

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…

Quick question... I don't mind going through the HUD-4 and identifying the ships for which the descriptive text is missing or incorrect (or, at least, doing as much as I can). I don't even mind finding appropriate text in various databases, online sources, etc., and posting the information so that Gunny can update the database more easily. However, I wanted to find out if there are any restrictions on using certain sources. Can the descriptions from the Harpoon Encyclopedia (http://www.harpoondatabases.com/Index.aspx) be used? That would seem a logical choice, but I did not know if there were any restrictions on using that information. Thanks in advance…

Bugs to be fixed when there is time... Both the 240 Kaszub and the 241 Gawran have their top speeds listed as 1180 knots. I fear this may be incorrect. The AKE Lewis and Clark is listed as having a top speed of 528 knots. The GC 21 Guaicamacuto and the upgrade version are listed as having top speeds of 1,775 knots I did not find any others, but it is possible I missed them. Mark

River class minesweeper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_class_minesweeper Again, I know it will be a while before Gunny gets a chance to consider these, but I'm posting them now, as I find possibilities for additions, so he has them for later reference. This class was retired quickly, it appears, but some ships have found a new life as patrol corvettes for Brazil. ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Herman Hum pointed out that the PS Emilio Jacinto does not appear to have any fuel in its database listing, which means the ship is unable to move. This was in "Celebes Sea Slam"; I simply replaced the PS with another Philippine ship so the problem should no longer exist. I'm not sure if this was one freak event or if it is a more widespread problem (I have not found it in other ships, but I may have just missed it), but I thought I should mention it to people. Herman is cheerfully pointing out on FilesofScenShare that the HUD is "infested" with errors. Here is the link... http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/FilesO...re/message/1607 Admittedly, I am usi…
