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

Shin Meiwa US-1A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShinMaywa_PS-1 "The Shin Meiwa PS-1 and US-1A (Japanese: 新明和 PS-1, US-1A) are large STOL aircraft designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and air-sea rescue (SAR) work respectively. The PS-1 was a flying boat which carried its own beaching gear on board, while the US-1A is a true amphibian." --Wikipedia ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

A slightly larger generic police/coast guard boat can be added by taking the database entry for the 42-foot motor cruiser and creating a new entry POL Generic Police Cruiser, with the main change being the addition of a Small Arms mount to represent the armed law enforcement officers aboard. The category POL (for "Police") is added to distinguish such boats from purely civilian vessels, even though they are often the same kind of vessel and the only difference is that they are being used for law enforcement. (Well, we hope they are being used for law enforcement...) Database text: A large generic police boat, similar to those employed by coast guards and law enf…

Ambassador MK III Missile Boat Another one I thought someone had posted already, but when I searched I could not find it, so here it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambassador_MK_III_Missile_Boat http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/e...-missile-craft/ ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b8

ShinMaywa US-2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShinMaywa_US-2 "The ShinMaywa (formerly Shin Meiwa) US-2 is a Japanese large STOL amphibious aircraft designed for air-sea rescue (SAR) work. The aircraft is currently operated by the 31st Fleet Air Wing (71st Air Force, 71st Flight Squadron) at Iwakuni air base and Atsugi air base. In 2012, the US-2 is being introduced to the Indian Navy to enhance its search and rescue capabilities with no word yet if they will accept the aircraft." --Wikipedia ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

AgustaWestland AW159 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AgustaWestland_AW159 <-- next generation Lynx...looks nice... ANW HUD-4 v1b5

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

KAAN 29-class patrol craft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAAN_29_CLASS http://turkishnavy.net/kaan-29-class/ "Kaan 29 class fast patrol craft are boats built by Yonca-Onuk shipyard in Istanbul. The first boat of its class - hull number TCSG-101 - was commissioned in 2001 and since then nine boats (Hull numbers TCSG-101 to TCSG-109) have been built. The last boat, TCSG-109, was delivered to the Turkish Coast Guard in April 2004. The boat owes its high-speed to its high-engine output, deep-V hull design and reduced weight thanks to its advanced composite hull. Originally designed to reach speeds up to 60 knots, the boats are fitted with two MTU 16V4000 series engin…

A platform that never was...but what if...??? IAI Lavi http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/aircraft/lavi/lavi.html https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Society_&_Culture/lavi.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAI_Lavi ANW HUD 4 v1.11 (When would it have entered service? 1990 or thereabouts?)

Aron littoral combat WIG Craft (aka Aron M50) http://asitimes.blogspot.com/2013/04/indonesian-navy-and-coast-guard-may.html <-- general technical data (speed, range, etc.) http://www.defence.pk/forums/china-far-east/229571-indonesia-military-news-discussion-thread-16.html <-- scroll down for technical specs on several different variants (will they each need their own database listing?) It's a boat! It's a plane! Whatever it is, it can carry missiles and move at 200 kph, making surprise attacks and rapid responses to violations of territorial waters a definite possibility.

Hawker 800 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_800 "The Hawker 800 is a mid-size twin-engine corporate aircraft. It is a development of the British Aerospace BAe 125, and is currently assembled by Hawker Beechcraft....A military version of the Hawker 800 is in use by South Korea for tactical reconnaissance, surveillance and SIGINT (SIGnals INTelligence) tasks, and 8 specially-equipped aircraft were delivered in 2000. The Republic of Korea Air Force calls them RC-800s, and they are based at Seongnam...Japan uses a maritime search and rescue variant of the Hawker 800. It is designated U-125A in Japan Air Self-Defense Force service. This variant has large observation wi…

Frankenthal Class (Type 332) http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/frankenthal/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenthal_class_minehunter Should the Turkish variant, the A-class, be its own entry? ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b8

Northrop B-49 Flying Wing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YB-49 Another "what if" platform... Database text: "Historically, the Convair B-36 Peacemaker was selected over the futuristic YB-49 Flying Wing. If the B-49 had gone into production, however, it is possible that it would have ended up as a long-lived sister ship to the B-52, its enormous range making it an enormously practical platform. This version also assumes by the 1970s the B-49 would have been upgraded with improved avionics and the ability to launch laser-guided bombs and cruise missiles." ANW HUD 4 v1.11

DW-3000H Frigate http://defense-studies.blogspot.com/2013/04/south-korea-has-chosen-to-build-thai.html http://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/south-korea%E2%80%99s-dsme-unveils-new-frigate-proposal-for-thai-navy/ http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/south-korea-to-build-frigates-for-thailand.256789/ A new frigate class being built by South Korea. It appears they may use some themselves, and they seem to have signed a contract to build two for Thailand; I believe the class is being considered by the Philippines, too. Certainly, it would make a good "generic export warship" that might be purchased by a number of nations around the world. ANW HUD-4 v1.11

Another building suggestion, again with the existing database "equivalent" suggested. BLDG - Water Tower Use: BLDG - Small Description: A water storage facility. ANW HUD-4 v1.2

Go Jun Bong class LST http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/g...bong-class-lst/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Jun_Bong_class_LST ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b8 Thanks to Gunny for considering all of these platforms I'm posting...I know they won't be added for a while (heck, if they get added sometime in the next year or so, I'll be happy), but I figured the best way to get the ball rolling on them is to just post them and then, if there is enough information and there is time to add them, they can be added.

River class minesweeper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_class_minesweeper Again, I know it will be a while before Gunny gets a chance to consider these, but I'm posting them now, as I find possibilities for additions, so he has them for later reference. This class was retired quickly, it appears, but some ships have found a new life as patrol corvettes for Brazil. ANW HUD 4 v1.1 b10

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
