(Once again, I know it may be a while before these can be included; I'm just posting things as they occur to me so I don't forget about them.) Future French aircraft carrier (aka Porte-Avions 2?) http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/porte-avoins2/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_French_aircraft_carrier Hmmm...interesting... I understand this will be a variant of the Queen Elizabeth class...does it need its own entry in the database? ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b8

de Havilland Hornet The de Havilland DH.103 Hornet was...used successfully as a strike fighter in Malaya. The Sea Hornet was a carrier-capable version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Hornet ANW HUD-4 v1b5

Bell 412 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_412 "Development began in the late 1970s with two Bell 212 being converted into 412 prototypes. An advanced four blade main rotor with a smaller diameter replaced the 212's two blade rotor." --Wikipedia Is it different enough than the Bell 205 to need its own database entry? A related question...does the Bell CH-146 Griffon (the Canadian version of the Bell 412) need its own database entry? ANW HUD 4 v1.11

Mercy class hospital ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_class_hospital_ship "The Mercy class of hospital ships are converted San Clemente-class supertankers now used by the United States Navy as naval ambulances. Originally built in the late 1970s by the National Steel and Shipbuilding Company, they were acquired by the Navy and converted into hospital ships, coming into service in 1986 and 1987." --Wikipedia ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Just a few more ideas (again, designed so they can be done simply, using existing platforms but adding new names so Victory Conditions can be set more easily)... STRC – Village Use: STRC – Factory Description: A small rural community STRC – Residential Area Use: STRC – Factory Description: An urban or suburban community INF – Rebels Use: INF – Pirate Gunmen Description: A small force of armed rebels INF – Freedom Fighters Use: INF – “Stay Behind(s)” Description: A small force of armed freedom fighters BLDG - Safe House Use: BLDG - Small (but, if possible, add a "Small Arms" weapons mount--it would not be surprising if the people at the safe ho…

In 1972, a short naval battle was fought between American and North Vietnamese forces. To recreate this battle in the HUD, we should add the following platforms (with 1972 loadouts...would they be similar to 1980 loadouts?), if they are not already available... USS Newport News (CA-148) <-- I don't think we have this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Newport_News_%28CA-148%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Des_Moines_class_heavy_cruiser USS Providence (CL-82) <-- I don't think we have this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Providence_%28CLG-6%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_class_cruiser USS Rowan (DD-782) <-- Is this in the databa…

Canadair CF-5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CF-5 Is this different enough from the other F-5 variants to need its own entry? If not, is it an F-5A or an F-5E/F? ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b11

Shikishima (PLH 31) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikishima_%28PLH_31%29 Planned to guard plutonium transport ships, the Shikishima is the largest and heaviest-equipped patrol vessel of the JCG. ANW HUD-4 v1b5

A number of civilian boats that are not currently armed could have armed versions. This would allow one to simulate various kinds of police and criminal vessels. CIV 5 m. Speedboat Small Arms <-- a terrorist version with machine guns is already available (I might change the 12.7 mm. machine gun to a 7.62 mm. machine gun), but an additional version could be added where the people aboard only have a few pistols and rifles. Obviously, the boat couldn't stand up to much, but might give a coast guard helicopter or some other lightly armed patrol platform a bit of trouble. CIV 10 meter cruising yacht Small Arms (see above) CIV Boston Whaler Small Arms <--…

In Harpoon Commanders' Edition, you can have mines by treating them as small, immobile submarines with "torpedos" that have extremely short range. Would it be possible to do something like this in ANW? Scenarios involving mines would add a very interesting dimension to the game, especially since mines are cheap and it is a way for small or poor countries to give big or rich countries grief. One could also add mines, I guess, as a kind of torpedo, with no speed but infinite "fuel." If a ship gets too close...it goes off as it had hit the ship! But you would need minelayers to release them. But that would give us an excuse to add minelayers to the database. …

Kawasaki P-2J http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_P-2J A variant of the Neptune...I don't know if it needs its own entry ANW HUD 4 v1b6

Can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of HUD4? I just got back into Harpoon last year, got the ultimate edition, and found this site to see what the status of the game was. I started noticing references to mines and mine hunting that, as a mine sweep sailor really peaked my interest. I know it's not included in HUD3 or ANW, at least I haven't seen it so I would enjoy seeing how it plays out in a Harpoon like setting. Thanks in advance!

Kawasaki C-1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_C-1 I could have sworn I saw this in the database, but then I couldn't find it. This plane carries paratroopers, so I figured it was worth including. ANW HUD 4 v1b6

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…
