Here's my wishlist for carriers on Yankee station: Constellation Ranger Hancock Coral Sea Midway Oriskany Bon Homme Richard Independence Ticonderoga Enterprise Kitty Hawk Franklin D. Roosevelt Forrestal America Shangri-La Saratoga Taken from the Downtown Scenario booklet.

Onto to the USAF wishlist: RF-4C Phantom II F-4D Phantom II F-4C Wild Weasel IV F-100F Wild Weasel I RF-101C Voodoo F-104C Starfighter F-105D Thunderchief F-105F Thunderchief F-105F Wild Weasel III F-105G Wild Weasel F-111A Aardvark B-52D Stratofortress B-52G Stratofortress EB-66 B, C and E A-1H Skyraider Note that I went for completeness and I'm aware that some planes can be easily exchanged with exciting ones in the database.

The US Navy wishlist: RF-8A and G Crusader F-8C and D Crusader F-8 E and H and J Crusader A-4C Skyhawk EA-6A Intruder EA-6B Prowler EKA-3B Skywarrior EF-10B Skyknight EA-1F Electric Spad

The Nord Vietnamese (DRV) aircraft wishlist: MiG-17F MiG-19S MiG-21F-13 MiG-21PF MiG-21MF Not sure how all-weather capability is implemented in Harpoon. Basically of that list only the MiG-21MF should be able to operate at night or in foul weather, the rest is clear weather aircraft. Wishlist for US comes next

Here are some targets I'd love to see included in the database: NVA Bn VC Bn Railroad bridge (1 span) Barracks Road bridge (1 span) Runway Tower Hangar Revetments Truck Park POL storage Rail yard Depot Steel works Canal des Rapides (2 spans) Thermal power plant Transformer Cement plant Paul Doumer bridge (6 spans) Ferry Shipbuilding facilities Barge construction yard Ammunition depot Vehicle storage Air defense center Radio receiver facility They are all based on the Downtown scenarios.

I'm currently trying to convert a scenario from the Downtown boardgame to HUCE. I'd love to see the following units in the HCCW: A-4C, F-8D, MiG-17F, some AAA, an air field in Kep (21° 23' 60N, 106° 16' 0E), some AAA. I think the Hanoi airbase can work for Phuc Yen. Thanks for reading

I was in a different position, as I've only peeked into Harpoon '97 before. So far I've played quite a few WestPac and GIUK scenarios and I'm very happy with my purchase. However, as you already own HCE, your mileage may vary. For me it was worth the 50 EUR (with taxes).

I've noticed that not all missiles hit, thanks for reassuring this. I guess counter measures are not implemented? Or in other words, do the E- type planes give me an edge vs SAM and air to air missiles, when in close enough range?

Hello, I have a hard time keeping my fighters and strike aircraft alive against opposition. This happens in the PacWest battleset with Japan vs South Korea and to a lesser extent North Korea. What is my best response with an air group against an incoming air to air missile group? Just turn around and run? I tried this with full afterburner on very low, but this exposes the planes to the risk of crashing. And at times the air to air missiles still hit. Often this leads to a situation where both parties are completely annihilated by the missiles. Any advice is welcome

I'd like to do some Vietnam scenarios based on the HCCW. Can you please include small coastal ships (any kind), trucks and porters for the DRV? And some Flak units would be nice

For this type of mission, do you use the picket sector in the formations editor or do you plot the helis course and destination as a separate group? If you use the formation editor, how do you tell the heli to turn on the radar?
