The SE is a 16 bit program. Check out this thread. I use the SE with 64 bit Windows 7 Pro and Windows Virtual PC. Works like a charm.

I have Harpoon4 annexes updated to June 2011, but nothing in there that updates the High Tide entry. The SQR-15 was a developmental system, so I am doubtful that it was applied across the Spruance fleet, and it seems implicit that only the four hulls used it. In any event, I will post a query on Admiralty Trilogy and see if any better info pops up there. The SQR-15 makes too much of a difference performance wise, as far as HCE goes, to ignore it without digging at least a little deeper.

Other than USS Cushing (DD-985), which other three Spruance class destroyers had the SQR-15 towed array?

I use Windows 7 Professional x64 to run Virtual PC.

I've been able to accommodate most all of these requests, and they will appear in the next release.

Couple of interesting recent YouTube videos:

Tenacious buggers ... BBC News: Tripoli fighting flares up again Meanwhile, from NATO Source Alliance News blog: National Composition of NATO Strike Sorties in Libya

A very good reason to play Red.

[emphasis mine] I guess whether its a 'problem' depends on your point of view. Some of us crave a tough scenario! Off the top of my head, the scenario has not been rebuilt for HCE.

For all of you scenario writers contemplating a South China Sea scenario, this one is already available in the HCDB. From DefenseNews [excerpt]

Yes.

Yes, I think the RAN got a good deal there, on a practically brand new ship. Pretty great choice of namesake too.

And most every time since. Scud is not really about destroying targets as it is about intimidation and a show of force. Whether it even succeeds in that respect is questionable. What it does do, however, is attract attention.

ACIG has its shootdown information listed by region or theater, so its not really a short list. For example, there are five or more lists of just Israeli victories since 1948.

Apparently fell several kilometers outside.

The Ares article, talking about the sensors, is even more interesting than the claimed specs, imho. AESA radar, L band embedded antennae, front and rear IRST, and built in sensors that seem akin to JSF's EODATS. Impressive if they can pull that off.
