Does NATO used the same gear as US forces? I know they use the same rifle rounds and such, but do they fly the same cargo planes, choppers, Humvees, ect?

Short answer, yes.

 

Medium answer, a lot of NATO equipment has US origins but there's quite a bit of European kit and stuff from other countries too.

 

Long answer, just way too long to put here.

Many use the AIM-9 family of IR missiles.

 

A European developed aircraft is the Eurofighter Typhoon, which can carry the AIM-120 AMRAAM.

 

Like CV32 said, very complex subject.

Anybody have a site address I could look up? I was afraid that it would be too complex to post on a forum, so I guess I could ask for specifics like if they use the Humvee or the CH-47 Chinook.

 

Thanks for your time.

Crashdown, you can probably get the information out of these HarpGamer store houses of information if you break the question up into multiple pieces.

 

One is to ask which equipment NATO really owns (I think very little outside of E-3 AWACs planes)?

 

Then look at specific areas like NATO members and which attack aircraft they use, move on to ships, ordnance, etc.

Well, you can often find surprisingly decent stuff on Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) Here's a link for the Dutch Army: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_army. For military aircraft, I rather like Scramble (http://www.scramble.nl/airforces/index.html), but again, Wikipedia is pretty decent, too; just search for "(country name) air force". Hope this helps ...

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, rather a lot of information on this topic can also be gleaned by perusing the game database ...

Thank you all. I now have a lot of searching to do.
