Wish Lists

The answer to your guys question from last night is: Yes you can launch a refuel store from a tanker, You can add a range to the refuel store in the db, However since the db will not allow a speed input (box grayed out) the refuel store just drops. I have found this out the hard way. A couple of times I accidently left the speed of a missile at 0 and couldn't figure out why it launched but then disappeared. The good news is that it didn't blow up my base.

1. Allow greater number of items per Annex in the database. (its the DB guy in me) 2. Useable entire world map, including the ability to seamlessly move "across the back of the Earth". (its the scenario designer guy in me) 3. Make anti-submarine warfare (ASW) patrols capable of being customised, ie. MAD/sonobuoy patterns, variable loiter times, etc. 4. Increased complexity in the electronic warfare (EW) model, ie. adding EW/decoy capability to surface ships and mobile land units, up to including generational modeling (as per Harpoon paper rules). 5. Allow for damaged bases to be repaired (shamelessly borrowed from Smitty). 6. Allow for capture and use of enemy bases …

Here are a few ideas I have, not sure they are possible, but hope you think them worth considering. #5. What about Damaged Aircraft? Upon landing a flight of 4, the staff assistant announces that one a/c requires an engine change, estimated time to complete X hours (AI generates random Y hours +- Z minutes until ready, it does NOT have to match the estimate), then in HUCE another 1 hour to reload weapons. Or the staff assistant could mention other system failures like Radar, ECM, Life Support, Structure, or Fuel System, all with random times to fix that add realism to the game, and frustrations to the players. #8. See GEOCHRON ® © (etc.) Wall Clocks for a poten…

I've been a Harpooner since my collage days in the early 90's and was delighted to rediscover the game about a year ago. I see that there are several "might have been" units but there are I few units that "almost were" but didn't get the chance. I would love to see these units in future updates of the game and that they would add to the enjoyment of all harpooners. I'd make them myself but I couldn't get my "unit modifier" to ever work. Units: F-12B the Interceptor version on the SR-71A Blackbird A-6F Intruder II advance form of the A-6 with non afterburned equipped F/A-18 engines, new avionics and limited A/A capablity. A-12 Avenger the stealth attack bomber th…

I am so tired of being told every minute that I should go active with some group's radar or sonar when I've already decided not to. Ok, suggest it once, maybe even remind me once, but then STFU.

1. Within the game, a hot key to return to last focus. 2. An ability to land helicopters anywhere on land eg to wait for a refuelling craft. 3. resupply land and sea units with eg truck convoy, unrep ships. 4. in game and SE, an indication of refuelible aircraft Done 5. Completed intercept box include 'orders' option. (I think that was the case in the old DOS game) 6. 'Attack' have an option to approach and concentrate attack on specific unit(s). 7. Set max time on station for patrols. 8. when dispatching a patrol have the speed and sensor setting boxes come up for setting same at the patrol point. So eg can use P3s as anti-ship patrols. 10. When selecting air…

Real simple. I've got all x64 machines, so you know what it's gonna be: x32 scenario editor!!!! (yes I know it's on the big list, but Good Grief this is kinda huge. Who runs a 32 bit OS anymore?)

First Post 1. Long Range ASW patrols to be improved, say by setting an area and the ASW plane flies around dropping bouys. It is slightly annoying to fly a plane out to a long contact by sosus or something like that, and have the still viable contact drop off, leaving you to either manually search with dropping sonobouys, or have to just route the plane around the area hoping to pick up a MAD contact. Perhaps add a new order, after you use it will have the plane automatically drop sono-bouys for the rest of the plotted course. 2. Add an "intercept" option for tankers, to intercept a friendly group and refuel. 3. Single ship/sub formations automatically centre over the …

- PE: A "PlatformTransferManager", a tool for transfering Platforms from one Database to another (for Example: HCDB*.mdb --> HCCW*.mdb) - Harpgamer.com: A new HCE Download Category for single Platforms (Ships, Subs, Aircraft, Weapons, Sensors) where Members can up- and download own-created Platforms. Perhaps a "structured" DataFile, which can be exported from and imported into the "pfData2005.mdb" - Database. (see Platform Transfer Manager above) - GE/PE: Boarding Teams, Assault Troops, Special Forces as deployable Units. actually I created those Troops as "Missiles/Annex09" (when deploying from Aircraft/Helicopter -> single Attack, and then they are…

Wishes are dreams, which may be real once in the future. So far .... 1. Multiplayer (((with 56K modem))) 2. (TonyE) Useable entire world map, including the ability to seemless move 'across the back of the Earth'. 3. (TonyE&divefreak) Allow units to carry other units, i.e. LCACs in LSDs, Marines in LCACs (Marines in Aircrafts, Marines on lorry's, a.s.o.) 4. (divefreak Pt.9 ?& Akula?) Predefine patrol path at lanuch with waypoints, sensor, bouys dropping, speed/alt, attack, loitering time, areal refueling consumption/delivery, "intercept for refueling", land, "attache unit to..." and "split in..." setting at launch/patrol panel. 5. "Dynamic" …

in no particular order 1- MP 2- 1 more zone in the formation formation that does not have a range limit (for better long range patrols) 3- Easier ASW patrols with auto SB drops/dipping sonar use 4- Ability to set paths or areas of coverage for patrols and not be limited to patrols fling to just 1 point, loiter, and then return. 5- model for USV, UUV 6- easier scrolling on map (instead of having to use scroll bar- similar to googlemaps, mapquest, etc) 7- Ability to set sensors on/off and altitude when setting up patrols/formation 8- Easier aerial refueling- be able to have tanker and the plane needing refueling to automatically take best course get close enoug…

Update of condensed wish list in progress, harpgamer update items collected and being sorted

Stealing, er, reinforcing a couple of Seadog's wishes: 2. An ability to land helicopters anywhere on land eg to wait for a refuelling craft. Too right, opens up possibilities for a CSR (Combat Search & Rescue) scenario, for example, if the helo can take on passengers whilst landed. 3. resupply land and sea units with eg truck convoy, unrep ships.Yep, strategizing resupply ops (to include vulnerability while unrepping for example, or the strategic value of protecting the unrep group) while keeping magazines full enough to do the necessary for the scenario could really up the pucker factor, especially for scanerios where you start with partial loadouts and…

This would be in effect a new type of asset that would be in the ship annex, except it would be a non-moving platform located by the scenario editor. This would be a bunker, another variation of Fixed AD or a fixed missile launcher location (silos?), or other target of interest. The reason why I am suggesting that this would be in the ship annex is that it would need to be found. Once found however, it does not disappear from the display. It could also be attacked by "land attack" flagged munitions. Make those recon assets earn their keep, besides just playing chicken with fighters and SAM's.

My wishes list maybe a little bit strange. I've try to divide in three parts. 1 - easy modifications 2 - future modifications 3 - Best Game creation ever Also I've try to order by importance, dependence and complexity modification. 1 - I think the easiest modification are: 1.1 - Conduct to campaign mode options - description 1.2 - More building symbols (tetet) - description 1.3 - Detection problems at AI engine fix. - description 1.5 - WW realistic game engine corrections 1.6 - indication of air refuelable units (donaldseadog) 1.8 - speed and sensor setting at patrol dispatching (donaldseadog) 1.9 - Tanker units instead …

Here my wishlist, in no particular order: SAR option, shot down planes may generate pilots (undetected) that can later be picked up by helos Defense zones for neutral powers, when red or blue fly/sail there they will be engaged by green SAM launch increases the chance of a visual sighting of the launcher A bomb sight value for planes to differentiate their effectiveness in delivering iron bombs Laden vs empty speed difference in planes New icons for bridges, buildings, etc. Option for collateral damage to nearby units/structures when bombing Automatic evasive maneuvers by pilots when engaged by SAMs or air to air missiles Damaged planes Buddy bomb…

Begins and ends with online play. the scenarios in HCE are interesting, but the bottom line is the AI should never beat you,and the AI should definitley NEVER beat you the second time through a scenario. As a result, the game has a finite amount of playability. Like many other games, one will gain experience, "beat" the game, and then lose interest. Online play changes all that (just ask the folks running the Call of Duty franchise). It seems ironic to me that ancient AOL could host HC in 1991 and 1992, but we cant this going in 2010?? What would it take to make this happen??

I have only one right now and couldn't find if someone mentioned it. I'll edit the list as I think of things. 1) Load out-dependent ready times. One feature I thought was neat in H3 was the varying ready times dependent on load out. Even something as simple as varying by major category like, Ferry, AA Patrol, ASuW, Precision Strike, etc.

I wonder if it could be possible to add more units in the HCE DB for the Spanish Navy like the Aircraft Carrier Principe de Asturias (PA) and the AEGIS frigates F-100 Alvaro de Bazan (6 units), etc. I am not sure if they are included in ANW though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_aircr...ipe_de_Asturias http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81lvaro_d...n_class_frigate Thank you.

Bearing only missile attack 1) I see the Hawkeye clearly over top of the carrier group, but I have no contact with any surface vessels with my Bear / Badger / Backfire group which is well out of range of defending air defenses. 2) Along comes my Backfires. I lob a half dozen ASuW missiles down a bearing toward the Hawkeye turning on the radar seeker heads almost immediately. Gives the defenders something they see immediately and cannot ignore. 3) Hawkeye ESM / Radar detects incoming missiles. Ship AAW defences require radar so they flip on their air and surface radars. 4) My Bear detects multiple surface radar signatures and the rest of my Backfire ASu…
