Phoenix 1000 Unarmed, but look at the size and the range! Just the thing for serious international smugglers, terrorists, and evil masterminds! http://www.ussubmarines.com/submarines/pho..._technical.php3 ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b9

Piaggio P.166 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaggio_P.166 "The Piaggio P.166 is a twin-engine pusher-type utility aircraft developed by the Italian aircraft manufacturer Piaggio Aero. The aircraft is known as Albatross in South African military service." Used as a maritime patrol aircraft by several countries. ANW HUD-4 v1.11

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…

A Baltic nation with a small air force and a small navy, but the Baltic is a crowded waterway with a lot of players... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Latvia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_Naval_Forces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_Air_Force http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrunda_class_patrol_boat 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 …

Sjöormen class submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj%C3%B6ormen_class_submarine "The Sjöormen class were a group of submarines built for the Swedish Navy in the late 1960s. They had a teardrop shape and were capable of diving to 150m. At the time of their deployment they were regarded as one of the most advanced non-nuclear submarine-classes in the world, incorporating many new features including x-rudder and anechoic tiles. Both speed and underwater endurance was at this time very high for a conventional submarine. The submarines were retired by Sweden in the early 1990s. In the late 1990s, four submarines were acquired by the Republic of Singapore Navy and rela…

Archer class submarine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_class_submarine "The Archer class submarines are the newest class of diesel-electric submarines in active service with the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). Originally launched as the Swedish Navy Västergötland class submarines HMS Hälsingland and HMS Västergötland in 1986 and 1987, the two submarines were sold to Singapore in November 2005 and relaunched in June 2009 and October 2010 respectively after extensive modernisation by Kockums, which included a refit to Södermanland class standards, the insertion of a new hull section with an air independent propulsion system, and additional climatisation for use i…

KAAN 29-class patrol craft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAAN_29_CLASS http://turkishnavy.net/kaan-29-class/ "Kaan 29 class fast patrol craft are boats built by Yonca-Onuk shipyard in Istanbul. The first boat of its class - hull number TCSG-101 - was commissioned in 2001 and since then nine boats (Hull numbers TCSG-101 to TCSG-109) have been built. The last boat, TCSG-109, was delivered to the Turkish Coast Guard in April 2004. The boat owes its high-speed to its high-engine output, deep-V hull design and reduced weight thanks to its advanced composite hull. Originally designed to reach speeds up to 60 knots, the boats are fitted with two MTU 16V4000 series engin…

Minor database issue...the text for the HMAS 215 Stalwart is a bit off. First, the ship is listed as the A 215 A 215 HMAS Stalwart, which looks a bit odd...one of the two "A 215"s should be taken out. Also, the ship was not a cargo vessel. Replacement text might be... "Australian support and command vessel that served as the flagship of the RAN during the 1980s."

BAC TSR-2 [#]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSR-2 http://www.ausairpower.net/Profile-BAC-TSR.2.html "The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another aspect of its combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed photo reconnaissance, requirements that necessitated incorporating "state-of-the-art" av…

Recommended change to database text... "One of the many small patrol boat classes in service around the world, the Vosper 103-Foot Type has been exported to a number of countries, including Malaysia, Panama, and Qatar." This is simply a text change to increase the accuracy of the database. In fact, Malaysia (not Qatar) is the major user of this class, with over a dozen boats in service, although they're nearly 50 years old! A bit slow, but probably pretty good for keeping an eye on the neighbors or going after pirates or smugglers who do not have speed boats. As far as I know, there are no differences in the versions sold to various countries, although I un…

Aero Commander 500/680/690 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_Commander_500 "The Aero Commander 500 family is a series of light-twin piston-engined and turboprop aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering Company in the late 1940s, renamed the Aero Commander company in 1950, and a division of Rockwell International from 1965. The initial production version was the Aero Commander 520. Piston-engined versions manufactured after 1967 are known as the Shrike Commander.[1] Many different models based on the same airframe were developed to satisfy market demand, such as the turboprop range with the Grand Renaissance Commander 1000, ostensibly, at the top…

Kowsar (surface-to-surface missile) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowsar "Kowsar (or Kosar) is a medium-range, land-based anti-ship missile made by Iran. It can defeat electronic jamming systems and "cannot be thrown off course", according to Iranian officials....Some news reports indicate that this was the missile used on July 14, 2006 in the 2006 Lebanon War when Hezbollah fired two at Israeli warships.[2][3] One of the missiles hit the corvette INS Hanit, causing heavy damage and the deaths of four Israeli servicemen.[4] The other missile hit an Egyptian merchant ship causing heavy damage; it is reported that all the crew survived." --Wikipedia ANW HUD-4 v1.2

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,…

It served with the Luftwaffe and Marineflieger and other air forces around the world in the communications and utility role." --Wikipedia A predecessor to the Dornier Do 228 (already in the database). Hundreds were built and they are still in use, after more than 50 years, in some places. This is the kind of plane that might show up in a low intensity conflict in the hands of rebels, drug smugglers, etc. ANW HUD-4 v1.11
