General

I've got a scenario that requires airborne personnel to dropped onto a beachead. I've simulated this by flying the aircraft with the troops/equipment to the beach head but I have no freaking clue as to whether this worked or not. Can someone lend me a clue?

Playing an IOPG battleset, just had one of my subs fire a torpedo at a DD, instead the 2 ADCAPs killed my second LA. Harpoon weirdness....

Does the game allow for the seasonal variation in daylight and darkness in the high northern latitudes? I ask because I'm about to launch an attack on some bad guys in Iceland using some sneaky B-2s. Obviously, I'm sending them in at night but then I paused for thought (Yeah! unusual for me I know) because it doesn't get too dark for too long around Keflavik during August and, no matter how stealthy the aircraft may be, all that cool high tech wizardry doesn't count for much if my billion dollar bombers can be detected by a chap using MKI eyeballs! So, is 'nighttime darkness' a set parameter in the game or does it vary as it does in the real world? And, while I'…

One enthusiast across the road on the TOAW IV forum produced a new opening splash for the game that I thought, with a little adaptation, might appeal to Harpooners. The link is http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=5058931 if you'd like to see it.

Hello, I am returning to play HUCE and I have got the HCE 2015.27 update installed. I have been watching the tools and I have noticed that there is more latest updates. Where can we find the latest update? HCE 2021.006 for example?

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to reload ship magazines. Do you need a cargo ship to reload magazines? Like refuelling air groups with some tankers pressing alt+r?

Hi all, I discovered I have a license from 2005 for the Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold Edition, but it no longer appears to be available anywhere? Does anyone know if you can find it somewehre? Thank you!

Hello! When making air-launched harpoon saturation strike against multiple targets in a Red surface group, I find that if the weapons 'pointed' a large ship manage to score a hit then the other weapons, aimed at other units in the group, tend to forget about what they were told to aim for and make a beeline for the ship that's already been hit. I'm guessing that this mimics what the weapons do "in real-life" (so to speak). So, I was wondering if there's a 'tactical/operational' trick to avoid wasting a lot of pricey-gee-wizardry kit from blasting an already stricken target into ever smaller bits? Any and all hints and tips, greatly appreciated!

I'm back playing Harpoon again, thanks to Tony, so I thought I'd join up. Byron

Apologies for bothering you again with another trivial question. This time I have a "how to do it" query about Toolbox IFR procedure to which, I hope, someone can give me a step-by-step "idiot's guide" I'm using Toolbox V171-3 in build 2021.006. The problem (well, for me its a problem!) is this: I have an air group which is returning to a base which is 950nm away. The group comprises: 000: 1-KC-135R (endurance: 942mins/7222nm) with 5799nm fuel available 001: 5-F-16-C/D Blk30/32 (endurance 101mins/774nm) 002: 1-F-16-C/D Blk30/32 (endurance 11mins/90nm) Obviously, I need to pass fuel from 000: to 002 as a priority and then have 000: …

I understand the principle, function, purpose of Command and Control in a real operation. However, what I don't understand is what, if any, benefits accrue to using them - and here I thinking specifically of EC-135K Head Dancer - within an Harpoon scenario?

Since I installed 2021.005 every time I open the game I have to resize all the windows to my own idiosyncratic settings. Its hardly the end of the world but I feel that: a) I'm probably doing, or have done, something wrong or, b) I've failed to spot a 'fix' that's already been posted in the forum. Any help, advice, guidance would be appreciated. On an unrelated matter - just sheer curiosity on my part - why is it that, in the older Battlesets, the standard loadout for ASW Seahawk and Oceanhawk helos was generally "ASW" (i.e. 2 torpedoes) whereas in the later Battlesets the loadout is generally "ASW-LR" (i.e. 1 torpedo)?

Eric finally got me over the weekend to revisit how the game sizes windows. I had re-worked the logic in 2013 and since then haven't really understood why as players we continued to see windows get cut off, the Formation Editor platform list dialog not showing any buttons for instance (since the window was drawn too narrow so the buttons were invisible). That has now been fixed in 2021.005. https://harpgamer.com/harpforum/topic/29035-current-files/ . My 2013 code was good right up until I did a logical AND instead of a logical OR. That foiled my attempt to have the window restoring code skip the size, only restore the left top corner position and let Windows man…

Okay I give up trying to continually adapt my new computer or components to run harpoon (classic, ultimate, etc). I am committed to a standalone old computer for just games like this. Can someone tell me the ideal old computer (hardware, software, video, etc to buy on some recycle site. Please be specific and if you know of sites that sell such complete systems, please add CAUSE I GIVE UP

I tried playing FONOPS off Venezuela 2020. Historical/Alternate History Scenario. 1.0.0 on HUCE. I couldn't play it because it needs scenario version 5, and I have version 3. I can't find a version 5 anywhere. Anyone have any thoughts?

I just purchased the harpoon game from Matrix,when I open the game the window is small the maximize button seems to be disabled any help would be appreciated

This means entries on each Database field could be 32767 ??? Quote: - Chg:00000 PE pfBuild Changed Import Spec "bsStringsImport", RowData from 4096 to 32767 which is the maximum allows in Access 2002/XP thru 2019

None of my Unit Pictures are showing up (No picture available) Any suggestions? Thanks

I've purchased the Harpoon Ultimate Edition from Matrix. There are many different versions of classic harpoon that you can play with it. I was wondering if there is any info out there on what was changed from one version to another. I'm sure a lot of it was fixing bugs, but more interested in what features were added from version to the next.
