Database Design & Discussion

hello pooners, yesterday, in a chat about AI (un)management of iin flight refueling operations with Tony on IRC, the idea of using a special underwing tank to be inserted in the plane's loadouts to simulate that the planes refueled during the missions came on the table. the beauty of that workaround (if one can see any beauty in a workaround), is to allow the scen designer to manage the usage of that workaround by simply including, or not, the needed underwing tank. on the other side, any scen that would have used tankers would require his specific tank because the distance to cover would also be specific. another con is that it doesn't physically simul…

hello Pooners, i was wondering since some times what was the exact effects of the armor ratings that one can assign to the ships and facilities in DB editors and Dale Hillier (aka VCDH) kindly answered to that question. now in the H4 rules, there's a table titled "Armor effects" (page 7-5, section 7.3.3) where it's shown for example that a GP, an AP shell of 76 to 120mm caliber, an HE shell if 76 to 130 or fragments from an exploding missile can penetrate a light armor. if you know more facts about the Armor Ratings, please share them cheers, Jan

The details are finally emerging of what is going to happen to the Royal Navy as a result of forthcoming defence cuts in this and numerous other articles. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13...rrier-axed.html I am confident that in light of all this, the Harpoon team will give an accurate representation of the Brit Senior Service in future patches, with regard to the construction of new warships. In particular, Her Majesty's Government seem to have resurrected an exciting concept originally invented by the Japanese back in '44/5: THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER WITHOUT AIRCRAFT The possibilities seem to be as follows: 1) The Queen Elizabeth class sans an…

Afternoon gents, I'm looking for any and all information on the ability of helicopters [specifically shipborne] that can deploy decoys in order to provide target deception/seduction. In the ideal scenario, a helicopter such as a Lynx or Seahawk will take off from the ship carrying a number of decoys such as DLF/SLQ-49. The helicopter would then lay a line of these decoys that would confuse an adversary into thinking that a group of ships [namely yours] is somewhere else. I haven't heard of helicopters from any navy being able to do what could be a very useful capability. Thanks in advance D

When I launch AH-64s (and Longbows) in a test scenario, the game treats them as...well, I don't know what, but it is not treating them as my aircraft. It detects them, as if they were a bogie, and then I cannot navigate them, even though they are my aircraft and launched from my base. This does not happen with other helicopters that I have tested, so I wonder if there is a database flag somewhere that is telling the game to treat them as...missiles rather than aircraft? I figured I better report this. Thanks. Mark

I sometimes try to explain Harpoon to people, in the hopes of getting them to try it out. Is it correct to refer to the HUD-4 as "the official database" or "an official database, one of three included with the game" or is it something else? Just curious. Thanks.

hello everyone, vids showing military aircraft training at Vlow altitude and stories where drop tank have hit the sea waves or the sand dunes are both common. it's also well know that in wartime, at least over the sea, pilots had to fly very low to not be spotted by the opposition's radar too early. a famous operational exemple is the argentinian Super Etendard wich were approaching their targets at between 10 and 15m above the water. off course, it deosn't mean that they would fly so low over land or even that they would do it by night or adverse weather. thow could we simulate it correctly? as far as i know, the lowest alt at wich teh planes can fly …

I'm not sure if people know about this, but the newest beta of the HUD is available at the following web sites... http://www.computerharpoon.com/ http://wiki.computerharpoon.com/index.php?...:ChangeLog#HUD4 It includes the changes I made to the database...you can now do a lot more things with marines, paratroopers, etc. I even added a "generic solider" loadout so ANY nation can have paratroopers, boarding parties, etc. Mark

From Naval Open-Source Intelligence This add to the HUCE DB should make IOPG scenarios a little more interesting! BrahMos has a range of up to 290nm, a mach 2.8 cruising speed that carries a 660lb warhead into its target. That will definitely leave a mark on whatever it hits!

I understand the various versions of the RIM-162 ESSM are primarily differentiated for the types of launchers with which they are associated, i.e. RIM-162A - Aegis/Mk 41 VLS RIM-162B - non-Aegis/Mk 41 VLS (no S band uplink) RIM-162C - Mk 48 VLS RIM-162D - Mk 29 box launcher but are there any differences in performance or capability between these versions ?

I just downloaded HUD4 today and was playing around with it. I tried to create a scenario circa 1986/87 time frame and found that most of the units for the US are post Cold War outfittings. Is there any way we could get some of the units built into the HUD to represent the high time of the cold war the late 70's and 80's?

Hello Designers, despite that it's 10 years old, here's a document that would be useful to DB designers, it detail the standard loadouts for the following aircrafts under the PACAF ( Pacific Air Forces ) command: 1.

I was just curious what people thought about the ANW DB? What are its main strengths and weaknesses? Having used the HUD-4 for a while, I think I'm going to try my hand at putting together a few ANW scenarios now, just to try something different. Any advice or recommendations? Also, just curious, are any updates planned for the future, especially since I understand ANW 3.11 is supposed to be released fairly soon? Thanks. Mark

Gunny, Would it be possible to provide more information updates about progress on the HUD-4? Specifically, would it be possible to start going through the various platforms posted in the request forum and... * If the platform has been added to the database, move the request (or have one of the moderators move it) to the archive so it is no longer cluttering up the request forum--although as the person who did most of the cluttering, I really should not be complaining about this. * If the platform has been accepted, but not added yet, could you let us know what the status is? Is it likely to be added in the next month? Next year? How high is it on the "to…
