F-23 Black Widow [#] Another "what if" platform...what if the Northrop YF-23 Black Widow was adopted instead of the F-22 Raptor (or if someone else, like Australia or Israel, had bought them)?

F-29 Bobcat [#] Fictional platform. A "what if" platform that assumes an aircraft based on the X-29 was purchased as a follow-up to the F-5, a light fighter similar to the F-16, and designed with export in mind. A fast and highly maneuverable aircraft, and small, making it agile and hard to hit, with a good sensor suite (similar to an F-16C) its primary drawback is limited payload (approx. 4,000 lbs. on four hardpoints). Even so, it makes a good complement to many air forces and might be widely exported, like the F-16. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-29 http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=352 <-- use this one for range, approx. 1,…

I have noticed that the CIV Generic Barge is rather heavily armed. (Lots of interesting things you could do with this...this is good platform, actually, for a "post-collapse" scenario with local militias handling their own defense against raiders, etc.) Could an unarmed version (an actual barge, with just the crane) be added, though? Also, a minor point, but most of the weapons on the barge appear to be Russian except for the Stinger post...maybe that should be dropped and a second SA-14 added, simply for consistency?
