Harpoon for Dummies

In response to ongoing pleas for player assistance, a Harpoon for Dummies channel has opened on YouTube to help Harpoon players navigate the complexities of the game and to deliver the best possible playing experience. These series of video tutorials will continue to be written as needed and as requested. Many thanks to Ian Bowes (a.k.a. Spelk), amongst others, for speaking up and specifically requesting such videos be made and for the kind assistance he provided in reviewing them.

Presently, videos are available to demonstrate:

1) Installation procedures for the PlayersDB and scenarios
2) Basic game functions through a comprehensive tutorial for H3
3) Thorough use of the scenario editor for H3
4) Thorough use of the scenario editor for ANW
5) A complete sample scenario session

Folks who have never played a Harpoon scenario can watch the complete scenario run from beginning to end:

When AGM HARMs are launched from Hornets you can select the sensor at which they are targeted, so the question here is; which radar sensor to choose...??

[Herman]

All Anti-Radiation Missiles [ARMs] can be assigned a specific sensor target. With respect to selection of sensor for destruction, that is more difficult.

If you look in the PlayersDB while playing, you can select a unit such as the BCGN Kirov and then hit the Database function. Once the unit appears, you can select the Sensors button to show the various sensors aboard that unit.

Under the sensors shown, you can select the Top Dome radar and a text description appears:

"SA-N-6 missile guidance group"

Unfortunately, not all radar systems have text like this written for them. The only way to know which sensor is assigned to which weapon is through experience or use of the database editor, at this time.

Thx HERMAN While I don't have Harpoon 3 I'll watch Videos you've provided and If it looks like my cup of tea I'll go hunting at EBay and maybe even Amazon.

Thx again Herman

You are very welcome. Always happy to support SubSim and it's membership in any way possible.

Should you decide to purchase this bundle of games, please let me know as there is another SubSim member who is trying to sell his copy of the Harpoon Ultimate Edition.

Are those comments life or added later?
When comments life, how are different time-compressions possible in multiplayer sessions?

[Herman]

Sometimes, the videos are made of live sessions. Sometimes, I record the match and then add commentary afterwards.

Time compression in multi-player sessions is handled by the slowest requested speed. If one player wants 1:5second compression while the other wants 1:30second compression, the slower time of 1:5sec is used by the server.

Now that I've found Harpoon fans please let me direct you to my posting for the above mentioned Naval Simulation. The info is the posting called COMMAND from warfaresims.com. If you liked Harpoon you will definitely love this when it does come out. Check the posting out for a description of what the simulation is about. Go to their web site and watch all their you tube videos on actual game play.

I'm just hoping it comes for christmas. I've been playing Harpoon since version 1

enjoy
