HCCW-140314 by Brad Leyte (replaces the earlier version, HCCW-140220)

The HCCW (Harpoon Commander's Edition 'Cold War' Database) is a custom database for the period 1950-75.

The stock HCE scenarios for EC2003 and Westpac will NOT function with this database installed.

Use the stock HCE 'commondb.rsr' to ensure platform pic compatibility.

The HCCW adheres to a policy of adding platforms but not deleting to retain backwards compatibility with all HCCW scenarios.

Excellent, thanks Brad! Must be fall, the databases are getting updated all around.

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

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

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've got one rather large request. A 43,060 ton one actually:

 

 

Yep, HMS Ark Royal.

All good suggestions, and I should get time to tackle these at the end of this week.

 

Been busy working on another mini project for HCE.

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

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

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.

Thanks for the update of the HCCW! Some more wishlist items:

 

F-105D in flight re-fueling

SA-2b SAM for NV

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

 

The F-105D lacking an IFR flag is an error. I'll fix that right away.

 

SAM systems to come in due course, together with those tankers we discussed earlier today.

Thanks for the recent update! I just noticed that it says Hanoi, Vietnam South instead of Hanoi, Vietnam North.
