These are my current “top ten,” the ones I really want, as soon as it is possible to get them in the database. I’ve posted them all before, but I haven't posted any requests for a while and I’ve revised a few of these, found some extra sources, etc., and I’m hoping mentioning them now might get them in the database sooner rather than later…
Weapon/Weapon Mount: 500-lb. warhead (firing range = 0.01 miles, can be used at any altitude, ground level, etc.) This will let designers create suicide trucks, small boats with bombs, IEDs, etc. The weapon damages/destroys the delivery system, of course, but that usually part of the plan. The short firing range is meant to indicate that it can only be used at really close range.
Weapon/Weapon Mount: Terrorist nuke (firing range = 0.01 miles, 5 kiloton yield, can be used at any altitude, ground level, etc.) <-- a small nuclear weapon that can be on a truck, a tanker, etc. Again, this will damage/destroy the delivery system, but the terrorist will still achieve his goals. The short firing range is meant to indicate that it can only be used at really close range—basically, you drive or sail up to the target and set it off.
Weapon/Weapon Mount: Electromagnetic Railgun

Marker (Geographic) (Generic) <-- This is basically the same thing as the markers for a town or a city, but it can be used for any geographic feature, like an island or a mountain or anything else that is not a populated area but might need to be clearly identified for some reason. (Actually, the existing ones can be used for this, but it's just more aesthetically pleasing to not have to use a "city" marker for something that isn't a city.)
High Value Target (Group) (Generic) <-- this is basically an unarmed group of people on foot. It can probably be modeled using the data for an infantry platoon, but taking out the weapons, radios, etc. (I suggested “Civilians” earlier, but this would be even more general; one could use it to represent ANY group of unarmed individuals, even a herd of sheep, if one wanted. Hey, it’s high-value to the guy who owns the sheep!) This would allow for refugees, hostages, zoo animals, etc. All you have to do is set the name with the "r" command.
High Value Target (Individual) (Generic) <-- Just use the downed pilot, but take out the radio. This allows one to represent high value unarmed individual targets on foot who really is on his own or dependent on others for protection. They can be good guys (VIPs, etc.) who need to be protected or bad guys (terrorists, drug lords, etc.) who need to be taken out. All you have to do is set the name with the "r" command.
Thanks for considering these!
