Minor database error...the descriptive text for one of the three listings for the Sprague identifies it as a "Finnish missile boat." At 9,000 tons, that's one heck of a missile boat! I figured I should let you know.

A generic police boat could be added to the database adding a separate platform POL Generic Police Boat and using the information for the Boston Whaler, but adding a Small Arms mount to represent the armed law enforcement officers aboard. In fact, as I understand it, a number of police agencies around the world use various types of Boston Whaler for this exact purpose. Database text: A small, high-speed boat used by police forces around the world.

I'm not sure if anyone reported this already, but the loadouts for the AC-130 seem to be wrong...it shows up in the database as being unarmed, and we know that's not right! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-130

Gunny, please check this torpedo. Put a Sturgeon class SSN right into a task force, distance to several ships below 3nm. Fired MK 48 Mod 1-4 torpedo after torpedo, nothing happened. Plz check this torp. Game Engine: ANW 3.10.1 Database: HUD-4

FV-12 Shadow (Hypothetical) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_XFV-12 In 1981, the Rockwell XFV-12 project was canceled. If it had been funded, perhaps along with the Sea Control Ship (perhaps the hypothetical CVL Cabot included in the HUD-4 database?), perhaps it would have emerged around 1985 as the FV-12 Shadow. Ideally, it would have had the range, speed, and performance of a Phantom, but it would have been a V/STOL aircraft able to land anywhere a Harrier could, although it would have been limited to 2,000 lbs. of ordinance, most likely in the form of four air-to-air missiles (Sidewinders or Sparrows) or a mix of two Sidewinders and two 500-lb. bombs (or la…

I had an idea. I'm not sure it will work, but it might simplify adding troops to a scenario... Barracks are where troops are usually "stored." Why not give the generic barracks in the database a "magazine" and as new troop types (I notice that Rangers and French Marines are in the database now, but I didn't see any others, although I may have missed them) are added, one could simply add them as possible weapons in the magazine of the barracks? A barracks would always start with NOTHING and would have to be edited. But once a barracks with troops is attached to a base, like an ammo dump, those troops can be added to aircraft. Another idea...a compromise between…

Brazilian Oberon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_class_submarine : The main differences between the Brazilian and British Oberons was the fire control systems used; with a Vickers system used.[2] The three Brazilian submarines were later upgraded to use the more advanced Mod 1 Tigerfish torpedo. <-- does this warrant an extra entry?

Osprey 55 class gunboat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osprey_55_class_gunboat ANW HUD-4 v1b6

I know these won't go into future databases for a while, but I'm posting them now before I forget to do so... CASA/IPTN CN-235 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASA_CN-235 We have the maritime patrol variant, but as far as I can tell, we don't have the transport version, which is widely used. Paratroopers can jump from it, as I understand it. ANW HUD 4 official release 1

Project 1153 OREL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_1153_OREL "Project 1153 Oryol (Russian: Орёл, Eagle) was a planned 1970s-era Soviet program to give the Soviet Navy a true blue water aviation capability. The ship would have been about 75-80,000 tons displacement, with a nuclear power plant and carried about 70 aircraft launched via steam catapults. It was designed with a large offensive capability with the ship mounts including 24 vertical launch tubes for anti-ship cruise missiles." --Wikipedia Another "what if" platform...this one has some really interesting possibilities...imagine if the Soviets had built, say, two of them by 1985, and then a crisis er…

Dassault Ouragan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Ouragan "The Dassault M.D.450 Ouragan (French: Hurricane) was the first French-designed jet fighter-bomber to enter production, playing a key role in resurgence of the French aviation industry after World War II. The Ouragan was operated by France, Israel, India and El Salvador. While in Israeli service it participated in both the Suez Crisis, Six-Day War and the attack to U.S. ship Liberty." --Wikipedia I could have sworn I posted this one, but I searched and did not find it, so I guess I just forgot.

Lockheed A-12 Black Eagle (Hypothetical) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_A-12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YF-12 "The Lockheed A-12 was a reconnaissance aircraft built for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) by Lockheed's famed Skunk Works, based on the designs of Clarence "Kelly" Johnson. The A-12 was produced from 1962 to 1964, and was in operation from 1963 until 1968. The single-seat design, which first flew in April 1962, was the precursor to both the twin-seat U.S. Air Force YF-12 prototype interceptor and the famous SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. The aircraft's final mission was flown in May 1968, and the program and aircraft retired in June…
