Beechcraft Queen Air http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_Queen_Air "The Beechcraft Queen Air is a twin-engined light aircraft produced by Beechcraft in several different versions from 1960 to 1978. Based upon the Twin Bonanza, with which it shared key components such as wings, engines, and tail surfaces, but featuring a larger fuselage, it served as the basis for the highly successful King Air series of turboprop aircraft. It is often used as a private aircraft, a utility, or a small commuter airliner. Production ran for 17 years" --Wikipedia Nearly 1,000 built, and it served/serves with more than a dozen air forces around the world. ANW HUD-4 v1.2

A number of countries are missing from the database. This post requests the addition of Belarus. Belarus has no navy, of course, but it has a substantial air force. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Belarus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusian_Air_Force 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

Bell 412 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_412 "Development began in the late 1970s with two Bell 212 being converted into 412 prototypes. An advanced four blade main rotor with a smaller diameter replaced the 212's two blade rotor." --Wikipedia Is it different enough than the Bell 205 to need its own database entry? A related question...does the Bell CH-146 Griffon (the Canadian version of the Bell 412) need its own database entry? ANW HUD 4 v1.11

Bell 47/Bell H-13 Sioux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_47 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-13_Sioux "The Bell H-13 Sioux was a two-bladed, single engine, light helicopter built by Bell Helicopter." --Wikipedia Thousands of these light observation helicopters were built; many were used as medical evacuation helicopters (yes, this is the one from M*A*S*H); they were used by dozens of countries. Some appear to still be in use by coast guards, etc. ANW HUD-4 v1.2

ARTY BM-21 Grad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-21 "The BM-21 launch vehicle (Russian: БМ-21 "Град"), (Grad) a Soviet truck-mounted 122 mm multiple rocket launcher,[1] and a M-21OF rocket[2] were developed in the early 1960s. BM stands for boyevaya mashina, ‘combat vehicle’, and the nickname grad means ‘hail’. The complete system with the BM-21 launch vehicle and the M-21OF rocket has designation as M-21 Field Rocket System. The complete system is more commonly known as a Grad multiple rocket launcher system. In NATO countries, the system (either the complete system or the launch vehicle only) was initially known as M1964. Several other countries have copied it or d…

ARTY BM-27 Uragan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-27_Uragan "The BM-27 Uragan (Russian: Ураган, 'hurricane'; GRAU index 9P140) is a self-propelled multiple rocket launcher system designed in the Soviet Union. It began its service with the Soviet Army in the late 1970s, as its first modern spin and fin stabilized heavy multiple rocket launcher. This system is capable of launching 220 mm rockets from 16 launch tubes mounted on the rear of a ZIL-135 8x8 chassis. This vehicle is extremely similar to that used in the FROG-7 free flight rocket system....The BM-27 can use HE-Frag, chemical, or scatterable mine (PTM-3 or PFM-1) submunition equipped rockets all of which are …

BM-30 Smerch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-30_Smerch "The BM-30 Smerch (Tornado) or 9A52 is a Soviet heavy multiple rocket launcher. The system is designed to defeat personnel, armored, and soft-skinned targets in concentration areas, artillery batteries, command posts and ammunition depots. It was created in the early 1980s and entered service in the Soviet Army in 1989.[1] When first observed by the West in 1983, it received the code MRL 280mm M1983. It is expected to be superseded by the 9A52-4 Tornado." --Wikipedia Hundreds of these were built; they are used by about a dozen countries. ANW HUD-4 v1.2

Again, no rush on this, but I figure I might as well post it now so people know about it, etc. BNS Bangabandhu BNS Bangabandhu is a Guided Missile Frigate of the Bangladesh Navy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNS_Bangabandhu ANW HUD 4 v1.1b9

Some thoughts... I'm assuming one reason for holding off on adding actual boarding parties is that, in theory, they should not do damage but cause a vessel to change from Hostile to Friendly (i.e., capture it). I imagine this is probably a major headache to program and probably a lot more difficult than simply making a few additions or changes to the database. The HH-60G, HH-60J, and HH-65 all appear to have a 7.62 machine gun. Is there a way to give them a "door gunner" loadout, like the CSAR version of the Cougar? Perhaps in addition to a boarding party, helicopters used for law enforcement might have a Law Enforcement Team loadout that could "destroy" a…

Boeing 777 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777 "The Boeing 777 is a long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and has a capacity of over 300 passengers, with a range of 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,370 km), depending on model. " --Wikipedia Hardly essential, but it is such a widely used platform (more than 1,000 built so far) that it makes sense to add it someday. ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

Boeing 787 Dreamliner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_787_Dreamliner "The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-size wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It seats 210 to 290 passengers, depending on the variant. Boeing states that it is the company's most fuel-efficient airliner and the world's first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction" --Wikipedia Again, hardly essential, but there are 800+ firm orders for this aircraft...it is probably going to be one of the standard transports for the next 30 or 40 years.
