Requests/Issues

A number of countries are missing from the database. This post requests the addition of Chad. Chad has a fair amount of air defense equipment and a small air force (some of which it captured from Libya). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_military http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_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

A number of Chinese aircraft are variants of Soviet ones... Y-7 transport <--> An-24/An-26 Y-5 transport <--> An-2 Shaanxi Y-8 <--> An-12 Y-14 <--> An-26 Are these different enough that they need their own entries? Mark ---- ANW HUD 4 Official Release

CIV - Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_islands Every couple of years, a new small island is created somewhere in the world by volcanic activity. While such an island is usually just an inhospitable rock and is virtually worthless in and of itself, a nation that claimed it could use that claim to extend their territorial waters and EEZ. In other words, suddenly, anywhere in the world, we might have a new Spratly Island. Any you know what THAT might mean. I'm not sure how this would be modeled. For all practical purposes, it is just a geographic place marker. But facilities cannot be placed at sea. I suppose that one could just use the Type A Drillin…

This would simply be the Russian trawler with more elaborate sensors, something like this version... http://www.harpoondatabases.com/Platform.aspx?DB=1&Type=Ship&ID=451 (It's actually a larger ship; I don't know if that is important...I don't know how big the ESM equipment is...suffice that this trawler would have some advanced surveillance equipment and would be able to rely information to task forces, etc.) ...and also with a bit more in the way of weaponry...probably at least one SA-7 SAM missile for dealing with pesky helicopters, etc. I don't think it would have mounted machine guns, but maybe an RPG or two or something else it could use to defen…

Nomad 1000 A third and very small civilian submarine (72 tons), but it still has room for passengers, or passenger-sized sacks of cocaine or heroin, and a range of 1,000 miles. Enough to cross the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. http://www.ussubmarines.com/submarines/nomad_technical.php3 ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b9

Phoenix 1000 Unarmed, but look at the size and the range! Just the thing for serious international smugglers, terrorists, and evil masterminds! http://www.ussubmarines.com/submarines/pho..._technical.php3 ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b9

Seattle 1000 Not quite as big as the Phoenix 1000, and still unarmed, but again, impressive speed and range for a civilian submarine...definitely something the coast guard might need to hunt down sometime... http://www.ussubmarines.com/submarines/sea..._technical.php3 ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b9

CVA-01 aircraft carrier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CVA-01 http://navy-matters.beedall.com/cva01.htm "The CVA-01 aircraft carrier was to be a class of at least two fleet carriers that would have replaced the Royal Navy's existing aircraft carriers, most of which had been designed prior to or during World War II. The project was cancelled, along with the proposed Type 82 destroyers that would have escorted them, in the 1966 Defence White Paper, due to inter-service rivalries, the huge cost of the proposed carriers, and the difficulties they would have presented in construction, operation, and maintenance. Had these ships been built, it is likely they would have bee…
