Zimbabwe has a small air force, but with some capable combat aircraft. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwe_Defence_Forces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_of_Zimbabwe 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

Raleigh-class amphibious transport dockhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raleigh-class_amphibious_transport_dock http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Raleigh_%28LPD-1%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Vancouver_%28LPD-2%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_La_Salle_%28AGF-3%29 I could have sworn these were in the HUD-4. Did I miss them somehow? If they're not there, I suppose they should be added. Should the La Salle have her own separate listing? ANW HUD-4 v1.11

PZL-230 Skorpion [#] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL-230_Skorpion "The PZL-230 Skorpion was a design for a Polish Air Force attack aircraft. The project was started in the late 1980s by the PZL (Polish State Aviation Works) and cancelled in 1994 due to a lack of funds. Skorpion would have had twin jet engines, a fuselage afterbody blending into the wing and small canards behind the cockpit." --Wikipedia Another plane that never was, but...what if...???

Fokker 100https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_100 "The Fokker 100 is a medium size twin-turbofan airliner from Fokker.

Production ended in 1997 with 283 airframes delivered. In August 2009, 229 Fokker 100 aircraft remained in airline service with 47 airlines around the world." --Wikipedia Another very common airliner that someday might be added to the database.

DIA Karrar UCAV http://www.harpoondatabases.com/encyclopedia/Entry3048.aspx "This UCAV was publicly unveiled on 22 August 2010. The underbody pylon can carry a reconnaissance pod with real-time datalink, or a number of weapons. Thusfar it has been seen with 500lb and 1000lb iron bombs, however Iran claims it can also launch the Chinese-made C-701 anti-ship missile and Nasr-1 short-range cruise missile. More recent photos have shown that when 500lb bombs are carried, the single fuselage pylon can be replaced by two underwing pylons." --Harpoon Encyclopedia This could probably be used to deliver a small nuclear bomb, too...
