So when playing the HDS 1 battlescenario set "Circle the wagons" with the current official Matrix Update, my F-14s can still intercept bandits with their gun? Its a pretty dramatic scenario incl. Return of the jeep carrier.

That is quite some epic work Tony. Thanks for clearing it up and thanks for making it possible to enjoy! Among all titles available, Harpoon has a very good position, filling a hole. Too bad Matrix won't just release it on Steam; focussing on CMO. Btw, instead of starting a new thread: Do jets use their gun?

I can speak for everyone that its really great news!! What does working on a game like this look like? Is the to-do list quite long? I sense big amounts of passion here. Also: did the water color change perhaps? Its not so flashy bright as I remember or my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Thanks for answering mates. Despite these issues, I cant believe how playable, fun and pretty recent this game is thanks to its scenarios. It deserved way more attention. Dont know why Harpoon Ultimate Edition isnt on Steam yet which could be a good promotion for this game. Currently playing "The return of the Jeep Carrier" (pretty hard) and "Circle the wagons" from the HDS1. What a blast, pretty dramatic and the opponent always feels like acting against you in a logical way. Again, HUE needs more promotion. Harpoon 97 will be released shortly on Steam but this package here is the real gem. This genre gets additionally boosted by Sea Power. There are hungry folks on Steam for that kind of game. I also was very happy to see a recent Update for HUE. Is there gonna be more eventually? Thanks for keeping this game alive. I was too young during the Amiga days to understand what Im doing but right now Im having a great time playing it. Like reading a book and utilizing close to real tactics.

Hi Im playing the older Harpoon with Dosbox since its better for my eyes when playing on the laptop. Its not so tiny. Commanders edition tires my eyes quickly when the laptop screen is too far away. Can this be changed somehow? Also, had some strange Master Handles warning when playing a scenario... Harpoon 1.58E prompted me to restart the game.

Hello, played some Harpoon Classic (1.58E) and noticed that the rings look like ellipses with the y axis being longer than the x axis. Is this intended or a bug? H3 suffers from the same effect and I wonder why. I'm playing with 4:3 screen. Can I fix this somehow? Greetings, Cabal

Hi Tony! Installed the patch and wondered about the database. Is there an updated more recent db available which works with the standard scenarios and battlesets? A few databases mention that they won't work with certain scenarios. Will there be more such updates? I was really happy to see something happening regarding Harpoon Ultimate.

Thx TonyE! So, playing the old scenarios/BattleSets which originally come with HUCE.. I don't need to update anything right? Except of going for the beta? Is there an easy way to check if I have everything completely up-to-date? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a late starter reg. Harpoon.

Hi guys, installing HUCE right now. After all the updates from the Matrix Games server, what should I update? There are various DB's here... a bit confused. I'd like to play the scenarios which come with HUCE. So there is one DB I shall download for an update? BTW: will the Tactics 101 get extended with "Part 4: ASW in HCE ... to come"? 😃 Greetings, Cabal

Excactly that is interesting: "Otherwise, you have to do it manually." What do I need to know to do it manually?

When I send my ASW helos towards a suspected goblin contact manually, will they automatically deploy their sonar (if they manually reached their target and their altidude is set to the lowest) or only when I assign them to a ASW mission? Sorry for so much questions guys, I'm eager to get it done good I will check out the Shakedown series, though ASW in HCE is excactly what I could need right now to properly proceed with the tactics.

Thank you Tony! It did it. Now I ran into a second question regarding the controls. Playing the ASW Sortie in the GIUK Battleset (3rd Scenario), I place my choppers for ASW at about the outmost rings, but what I encounter is that all subs are passing through at ease without any problems and destroy my creeping ships from within the group. I don't even know if my units try to evade torpedoes because the "formation is just everything". EDIT: Ok, I split the group and could get a fix on the targets and attack them. But: The only question remains why I couldn't find the subs much more earlier... I feel absolutely not confident with ASW.. I set my choppers to patrol at about 12-16nm in a sector logically to intercept contacts. But they can't find them.. it's hard to spot them. I sank several Juliets, one Kilo (the other one I do not remember) and got the mission completed. But I'm still clueless finding the enemy subs.

Hello guys, I'm new here I had to register here for future conversations and the following question: My eyes are not liking the strong map Colors or circles which are getting almost invisible... Is there some way to the colors of the water? The most important thing: The UI Scaling. Is there such function or a Workaround to have a bigger text and bigger symbols? It's everything just small and hurting my eye. Please give me some advise how to make thing's smooth for my HUCE Combat Ready Status Greetings, Cabal
