Description:

Fills the flight deck of the Tarawa to appear more lively, and in some regards it actually is that! The Harriers will taxi from their deck park positions instead of appearing out of the hangar like before. Helicopters still have to be summoned from the hangar, though.

The Tarawas are now available in 3 seperate outfits.
-Their base game ~1984 loadout, with 2 Mk.25 GMLS launching RIM-7F and 3 Mk.45 guns
-The ~1989 outfit with Phalanx CIWS replacing the Mk.25 GMLS, as well as the stern gun being removed
-And finally the ~1994 refit adding Mk.49 launchers for the RIM-116 RAM!

Both the 1989 and 1994 variants have the AH-1W replacing the AH-1T, and the YAV-8B replacing the AV-8A
Compared to the AH-1T the AH-1W features new engines and the ability to fire the AGM-114 Hellfire.
The YAV-8B brings new wings with 3 hardpoints per side, significantly increasing the weapon capability of the Harrier

Additionally I added some new loadouts for the Harrier and AH-1T.
Primarily you will find the AGM-122 "Sidearm" now being available on both in all their SEAD Loadouts.
For the AV-8A the new loadouts are:
-Strike (old Strike got renamed into Strike Long Range): 5x Mk 82, 260x 30mm, 15x Chaff
-Antiship: 2x Mk83, 2x AGM-122, 260x 30mm, 15x Chaff
-SEAD: 2x AGM-122, 2x CBU-100 Rockeye, 260x 30mm, 15x Chaff
-SEAD Long Range: 2x AGM-122, 1x CBU-100 Rockeye, 2x Droptanks, 260x 30mm, 15x Chaff
-CAS (old CAS got renamed into Anti Armor): 38x Hydra 70, 1x CBU-100 Rockeye, 2x Droptanks, 260x 30mm, 15x Chaff
In the Unit Reference AV-8A has been moved from the Fighter to Attack category (to the VTOL in German)

For the AH-1T the only new loadout is
SEAD: 2x AGM-122, 8x Zuni, 750x 20mm, 24x Chaff

The CH-53s Slingload loadout is decorative only. You cannot deploy the vehicle
