Lockheed T-33 and/or AT-33 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-33 "The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star (or T-Bird) is an American jet trainer aircraft. It was produced by Lockheed and made its first flight in 1948 piloted by Tony LeVier. The T-33 was developed from the Lockheed P-80/F-80 starting as TP-80C/TF-80C in development, then designated T-33A. It was used by the U.S. Navy initially as TO-2 then TV-2, and after 1962, T-33B. Despite its age, the T-33 remains in service worldwide." --Wikipedia The F-80 is already in the database, but I was not sure if the AT-33 should be added or not. Is it different enough to need its own entry? It sounds like it might be. And th…

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...???

Again, I know it may be a while before these are implemented, but I figured I should post them now and get the process started... At this point, I think the single most important addition to the database would be to increase the number of functional troop loadouts. But I figured it might be helpful to make my suggestions about troop loadouts a little more specific. They are not in any particular order of preference, although the Boarding Team one is probably the most useful. 1) Please make the Boarding Team loadout functional. This is probably the most common troop loadout; it shows up on a LOT of helicopters, and just adding this would add a lot of possibili…

The database text for the Type 71 (Chinese amphibious ship) uses the text for the British LPH Ocean. Even if the two classes are very similar, this is a bit disconcerting.
