Must a helicopter equipped with Dipping Sonar hover in order to effectively utilize this piece of gear? Must it be a Low Altitude or VLow? Thanks,

Hi, I installed HCE and 3 updates in succession, culminating in HC2009.35 beta on a new net book using Windows XP home. When I click on the desktop icon, I get the MATRIX opening dialog, but when I click on "Play", I get an error. "Printer: EndDoc failed!" . The files have worked on a previous desktop installation. Same thing happens if I execute Winharp32.exe. The scenario editor works. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Smitty

I was looking to understand jamming and ECM in general, how does it work in the game, the forums have some good posts on this but then ... why not ask the GE itself? In Harpoon I can do what ELINT officers can only dream of, invite the Russians to Red Flag! Lets come over the Atlantic for a friendly what have you got! Red can have Keflavik, Blue is flying from Kinloss. Bring everything you have. The SE sets up the bases nicely, we are all friends but better ready as many Ferry loadouts as possible. Additionally Air Marshall General Bernard Show All will also keep a sharp lookout for anyone giving in to old instincts. ELINT corps are strapping on ESM gear everywhere, t…

Hi guys, I have just purchased Harpoon from Matrix Games and have tried to download it. The download speed is averaging around 20-30kB/s which is extremely slow as I am using a DSL connection. Do you know if this is normal? I can normally download at around 700kB/s. Thanks

OK, now I'm really shocked. I've just started the 10th scenario in EC2003 GIUK in my newly bought HCE and what do I find on my aircraft carrier? F-15s! and F-22s! Please, tell me, what's going on here? (And I'm pretty sure I've seen this thing in HC 2002 already.) And please allow me some well-justified irony: Should I expect B-2s launched from enemy aircraft carriers?

While I mostly struggle with H4, my struggles can be traced back to Gulf Strike on my parent's dining room table while in high school. I recently picked up this gem and it's back on the table, although not at my parent's.

I have been looking at the WestPac Middleweights scenario. I can't say for sure, but I think the computer (N or S Korea) gets Rafales. We have lots of good AEW planes, and lots of planes with 40 nm AMRAAMs, but the Rafale is hard to detect AND it has 54 nm AA missiles. Any suggestions on how to deal with this menace? And how in the heck did either Korea get Rafales anyway?
