Shore Leave

Here's a screenshot of some Kapitans of the HarpGamer Wolfpack ...

To all members of the HarpGamer forums and the greater Harpoon community, best wishes for Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Its been yet another great year for Harpoon, and with the release of the HCE demo, it should make for a great holiday season as the old timers, new players, and potential new players get some free time to try out the game. Between the smoky trails of your missile launches, make sure you spend some quality time with your loved ones over the holidays. Have a good one!

Since we seem to be in the mood to share pics , here's a few of the Canadian Forces CF-18 ... The latest CF-18AM out of 409 Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS), 4 Wing, Cold Lake, Alberta Some cool in-flight refueling shots And, one of the latest Tu-95MS Bear H intercepts

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?

I stole all these pictures. Please don't tell the police. Big ones: Varyagstern.jpg lookingaftSBside.jpg mainarmamentSB.jpg masts.jpg radar.jpg topdome.jpg abitrusty.jpg V1-02.jpg V2-01.jpg V2-02.jpg V2-03.jpg V2-04.jpg V2-05.jpg V2-06.jpg alldressedup.jpg

Great work, Tony! Glad to see that you and all the staff here are still working for harpoon and try to make it better! But, personally speaking, I wish the ANW could also be updated, to fix the bugs and add more new features if possible. PS. I saw there are some players who play CMANO request the programmers to modify the game so that it can be connected with STK, just like Harpoon Pro(or Harpoon MilSim). What do you think?

Part One

Take one General Atomics Avenger (aka Predator C), a stealthy jet UCAV with internal bay, tailhook, onboard SAR, and a version of the ETOS from the F-35 (this is existing kit, if still developmental). Stretch the wingspan and length to similar that of the S-3 (another 2.5ft or so wingspan, another 10ft length). The length increase will add enough space to stretch the internal bay from ~15ft to 20+ft. A proposed folding wing variant has already been discussed by GA and, in both GA's comment and this thought experiment, the extra wingspan will be used to counter the space required for the folding mechanism for no change in endurance. For the sake of argument, handwav…

Tom Cruise Teases “Top Gun 2” Movie With An F/A-18F Super Hornet Photo (Aviationist)

Is anyone familar with this series of games from Avalanche Press? While not at a point in my life to order directly from themm I was scoping a copy of (War) Plan Orange at my local shop. This title has always drawn me in. I wanted to see if any of you have an opinion on it and its series-mates. Thanks, Pete

Made me laugh and pretty true this winter...

When I was in the KSA during Gulf War I, a picture was printed on page 1 of the local paper showing a cormorant covered with oil as a result of Saddam's despicable decision to pump crude into the water of the gulf. I believe the photo was distributed fairly widely at the time, and I'm trying to find it available for download someplace. I was working in Saudi Arabia as a civilian at the time, and one of Uncle Saddam's Scuds went off in the desert and blew the windows out of the back of my house. Passing out on the couch that day was the luckiest thing I ever did. Strange as it may sound, seeing that poor bird covered with oil ticked me of more than anything else I e…

Hi, I was trying to find any scenarios I could play for HCE involving the CV 41 USS Midway. I found it in the platform display, but have not been able to locate any scenarios for it. I toured the ship in San Diego last week and really enjoyed seeing a carrier and all the aircraft up close. The people doing the demos for take offs and landings are outstanding. Really get a good feel for how complicated and dangerous carrier oppertations are. Anyway, if anybody remembers playing any scenarios involving Midway let me know. Steve

So why is it that there are treaties against Anti-Satellite Weapons and combat shotguns, which everybody uses in violation of those treaties, yet everyone almost without exception follows the Gevena Conventions to the letter?

My name's Silent Hunter. I'm British, got Harpoon 3 ANW for Christmas and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Those of you who visit TV Tropes and Idioms may have seen my work there- I started the category on real world nukes... I'm going to be adding some AAR stuff for the classic scenarios, as well as many of the player ones. I like the posting interface...

Anyone else try this title? Picked it up yesterday, and went through a couple of tutorials.

A link to some very nicely done line drawings of warships, including some future concept types, but sadly no Iowa BB for Tony. Should be of interest to Pete and Rene, at least. Find them here

If you haven't seen this movie already, I recommend it for the adrenaline and nostaglia rush alone. Put your technical knowledge in park, of course, and enjoy the ride. ** Spoilers ** For the F-14 lovers out there -- our own TonyE included -- you won't be disappointed. 😁

Just wonderin for the super-long-term dreaming of branching out.
