Sud Aviation Vautour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sud_Aviation_Vautour Retired in 1979, but perhaps worth including because it did see action in the Middle East wars of the period. And it's French! Gunny, you must stand up for your French aircraft! ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b11

Swiftships 65 Patrol Boat http://www.worldwarships.com/class/swiftships-65 Suggested database text: One of the many classes of small patrol boats operating around the world. Worth adding because this is in service with about half-a-dozen small countries...in some cases, this class is a major component of their navies. ANW HUD-4 v1.11

Tactical Laser [#] A new weapon that should be added to the HUD-4 for inclusion with various platforms... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Energy_Liquid_Laser_Area_Defense_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Tactical_Laser This would allow the addition of a new facility... ARTY Tactical Laser [#] I'm not entirely sure how big the ground facility would be, but probably something like a small artillery battery, so perhaps 50 DP in terms of how much damage it could take. The beam would not do THAT much damage, but would certainly be able to kill aircraft, missiles, ships, small vehicles, etc. Maybe a 5 DP blast? I'm not sure how many round…

Te-1 rocket propelled mine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te-1_rocket_propelled_mine I imagine a mine like this can be modeled much like the Mk 60 Captor, since it is triggered and then launches itself at its target. Made by China, and apparently exported (as the EM-52) to Iran (and maybe other places, too). ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

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…

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.

Treasury-class cutter WPG-31 Bibb (Treasury) class http://www.harpoondatabases.com/encyclopedia/Entry1741.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasury-class_cutter "These extremely successful ships emerged during the Great Depression, to save money they were based on the USN’s prewar Eire class gunboats and shared their engines and general layout. They were initially equipped with a catapult for a Grumman Duck seaplane; this was later found to be cumbersome and removed. The ships (named for former Secretaries Of The Treasury) were very hardy and seaworthy." --Harpoon Encyclopedia In service from the 1930s to the 1980s! Wow...my tax dollars actually were at work…
