Hello all, I am trying to have several strikes arrive at the same TOT. I have the different speed and distances (multiaxis attack, you know) but I can't get my pilots to pull it out. Is there anyway to achieve this, or the evasion codes will forever impede it?

I noticed somewhere there's a hot key to the (new) "zero" time acceleration (pause, but can still use windows and issue orders etc) in the beta GEs. The hot key is alt ctrl P. In case you haven't noticed it it is very good for those hectic moments when you have been cruising along at high game speed but suddenly need the world to stop NOW. I wonder if it could be twiddled to work from the assistants advise box, you know the sort where he says, something like "every known missile is headed towards you, would you like to turn on your radar?" Don

As discussed in more detail here. Use this thread for commentary, questions, etc regarding this new demo release. This one was a looooonnng time coming. A great deal of credit owed to the guys who volunteered their time and skills to contribute to the scenarios used in this demo.

Potential choices for a first (and, eventually, follow-up) HCE Shakedown Scenario(s). Please take the time to vote on these choices so we can start developing a "beginner's battleset" for HCE.

With the release, or re-relese, of so many sceanrio recently, could we be inching ever closer to a HCE release date? Thanks for the effort Brad. Hoping,

Okay, I admit it. I was born before the Korean War started but I still enjoy these games...when I can get them to work. I am playing HCE for a change and am patched to 2009.050 on a Windows 10 system. Everything works but the scenario editor. I have read everything on this site I think but I cant figure out how to 1] Get the SE to function and 2] Patch the game to its most current version. Any help would be appreciated. I have gotten great assistance here in the past. Thank You

hi! i have been looking for an interesting Harpoon scenario set in the black sea region between Russia and Nato and the Porter scenario in the Harpoon Classic section caught my eye. I am though not sure what i need to do to play it. I have the Matrix edition Harpoon Ultimate edition that has HUCE, ANW, 3.6.3 AND 394 and i think i have it all updated to the most recent versions as per the patches on the matrix site. i am assuming i need to use HUCE for the Porter scenario but where do i put the files for it thank you regards

Forgive me, but I won't try to give you the whole bug report. I think the screenshot is self-explanatory: a KC-135 tanker landed on an aircraft carrier Just to give you some background (perhaps to help reproduce), I'm still playing HDSI 11.0 in HCE. I have formed an AtG strike group out of 6 F-16s and a KC-135 for range extension. After the refueling was complete, I was asked where should the KC-135 land and among the options were all the aircraft carriers! So I though - what the hell - and decided to try it out . By the way, some time ago in HC 2002 I managed to land some C-130s on an aircraft carrier too

Partly because of the way I position the various Windows on my display, I have run into some apparently inconsistent behavior relating to the Windows automatically switching focus, or auto-centering, or auto-panning, so I'm curious if there is a way to avoid these undesired aspects. First, regarding auto-focusing: To make my Group and Unit Windows as large as possible, I have overlayed ("tiled") those two Windows. Consequently, I've observed that when I have the Unit Window in front of the Group Window, and certain Staff Assistant dialogs or orders dialogs pop up that have a "Select" button on them, in some cases, clicking on "Select" will automatically bring the…

I downloaded and updated my game engine to the 2008.0047 release and noticed something interesting... Flankers are impervious to missiles! 6 Flankers coming out of Norway (NACV Battleset) were confronted by 12 Phamtom's and 4 Tornado's with a total of 64 LR Air-to-air Missiles... and within 15 nm of the targets and all I was able to get for 64 launches was one kill! So when did we change vendors for the Skyflash/Sparrow Missiles?..

Hi ALl, I just wanted to drop by, as it's been a while since I checked in around here. I got an email from matrix Games today which reminded me of the Harpoon series, and it occurred to me it had been ages since I poked at it. I have learned quite a lot about accessibility and related matters since I was last here, and have gained a few abilities I didn't previously possess. I am mostly hoping that with sufficient dedication I can enjoy some Harpoon if not any of the other Matrix titles. I have been previously poking at other fairly complex games, so it is not quite as alien to me as it used to be. I wanted to say hi, in case anyone is …

Hi Folks, I have recently installed version 2009.042 on a new Gateway netbook running XP. The game seems to work ok but when I issue a patrol order for a base I can not see the box to click OK and I can not go any further in the game. If any one knows a solution to this issue I would appreciate the help.

Ladies & Gentlemen: I'm returning to Harpoon. Purchased Harpoon Ultimate Edition from Matrix. Had DVD shipped because of poor internet connection. Just installed on a new week old Windows 10 machine. Installation went find and the game is running. Checked the version # and it was 2009.050. So I conclude that I must run updates from Matrix website. Do I need to run the 10/10/13 V2009.097 update then run the 1/4/16 V2015.027 update? Or can I run just the 1/4/16 update (does it include the 10/10/13 update)?

I'm curious whether having multiple torpedoes in the water concurrently has any effect on the probability of any of them getting a hit. The reason I ask is that I've noticed that if I have multiple ASW assets attacking an AI sub and they launch torpedos before previous torpedos have hit or expired - or even just one platform, if it fires multiple times before its first shot hits or expires - then none of the torpedos will ever hit, and rarely even achieve near-misses. In comparison, if I deny further shots until the current shot is "done", then I see a noticably higher rate of hits and near-misses. So, I'm wondering if having excess torpedos running around somehow d…

First, I may be over-generalizing the screen names, so forgive me as I am not in front of my home computer. When a unit is first detected, but not classified, the icon appears in yellow on the main screen. Once detected and classified, it appears in red as a solitary icon representing any number of actual ships/aircraft/subs. In this case, lets talk surface ships. In the Pakistan Blockade scenario, the Indian group was first three, then seven, and finally eight platforms represented by the single ship icon as they were classified. Do enemy units that have been detected and classified appear individually in the more detailed upper left-hand screen? It does show in…

Hello, I mean ... it is the same since several years. While the game engine, thanks to a great group of Harpoon lovers, was REALLY IMPROVED over the years, the scenario editor remained the same. I like to see some new useful things added to it ... for example: 1) the possibility to save a group of ships and to load it in a new scenario ... think to a carrier group ... now you need to add all the ships, the Air Wings, the helos, to define the formation of the group, etc ... every time you build a scenario you have to start all the process again! 2) when a base is added, because many of them are know as home of an Air group, the base should have all the aircraft…
