Chamsuri class patrol boat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamsuri_class_patrol_vessel

F-29 Bobcat [#] Fictional platform. A "what if" platform that assumes an aircraft based on the X-29 was purchased as a follow-up to the F-5, a light fighter similar to the F-16, and designed with export in mind. A fast and highly maneuverable aircraft, and small, making it agile and hard to hit, with a good sensor suite (similar to an F-16C) its primary drawback is limited payload (approx. 4,000 lbs. on four hardpoints). Even so, it makes a good complement to many air forces and might be widely exported, like the F-16. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-29 http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=352 <-- use this one for range, approx. 1,…

This would simply be the Russian trawler with more elaborate sensors, something like this version... http://www.harpoondatabases.com/Platform.aspx?DB=1&Type=Ship&ID=451 (It's actually a larger ship; I don't know if that is important...I don't know how big the ESM equipment is...suffice that this trawler would have some advanced surveillance equipment and would be able to rely information to task forces, etc.) ...and also with a bit more in the way of weaponry...probably at least one SA-7 SAM missile for dealing with pesky helicopters, etc. I don't think it would have mounted machine guns, but maybe an RPG or two or something else it could use to defen…

F-23 Black Widow [#] Another "what if" platform...what if the Northrop YF-23 Black Widow was adopted instead of the F-22 Raptor (or if someone else, like Australia or Israel, had bought them)? "The Northrop YF-23 or Northrop–McDonnell Douglas YF-23 was an American single-seat, twin-engine fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air Force (USAF).

Holland class offshore patrol vessels Those sneaky Dutch! Naming both a destroyer class and an OPV class after their country! This must be a plot to confuse the French! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Dutch_Navy_OPV%27s

A few quick comments/questions/etc. about the troop loadouts... 1) I noticed the UH-60 has a paratrooper platoon as one of its loadouts? Can it carry that many troops? 2) Would the MH-53J have room for two platoons? 3) A couple of loadouts that look like they're already in the database but have not been added to actual aircraft... * Ranger Squad * USMC Squad * Boarding Team * DEA Team 4) A few troops are in the database, but I did not find them being used anywhere (e.g., Australian forces, Navy SEALS, etc.), although it is possible I just missed them 5) If possible, it would be great special forces/marines/paratroopers from other nations c…

I noticed that some of the platforms in the HUD-4 still have no text information listed for them. In addition, a few have the wrong text information (a couple of classes got their text information switched, etc.) Here are suggestions for updates to the database text: ----cut here---- 61 Babr (no description): British Battle-class destroyer sold to Pakistan in the 1950s. 612 Badr: Corvette class operated by the Saudi Navy. A 215 HMAS Stalwart: Australian escort maintenance ship capable of providing minor repairs for other ships at sea; the ability to provide power, water, and communications made her useful during disaster relief missions.
