Summary:
After 3.7.0 release: 80 Issues reported
After 3.8.0 Patch: (80 Issues - 34 Fixed + 88 New) = 134 Issues
After 3.9.0 Patch: (134 Issues - 31 fixed + 68 New) = 171 Issues
After 3.9.2 Patch: (171 Issues - 13 fixed + 29 New) = 187 Issues
A comprehensive third-party list of 171 * Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues has been exhaustively collected on HarPlonkHQ since the release of Harpoon ANW 3.7.0 Now that the 3.9.2 patch has been released, the list has been checked to see what has changed. While it is by no means definitive, it is believed that:
These 13 behaviours appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.2 patch:
These 158 behaviours do not appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.2 patch:
- AAA fire
AAA guns are not limited by the altitude of the target and can even shoot down satellites.
- Automatic contact classification
The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.
- Group Nav Zone Settings
The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.
Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.
- Identification failure
Sometimes, when you hit the Database button for a unit, only one possible identity is shown but the unit display will still describe it as Unknown.
- Subs in groups
Subs joined with groups are automatically assigned a formation patrol zone on the ASW axis that cannot be changed or modified.
- Hangar overload
It is possible to land many more aircraft than the hangar capacity allows.
- AI inside Minimum Launch Range
If an AI unit finds itself inside the Minimum Launch Range of its weapons, it is unable to move away in order to fire its weapons.
- MAD contact for ground facilities
The MAD detector is able to detect ground facilities.
- ARMs cause planes to hang
Aircraft armed with Anti-Radiation Missiles and bombs will continue to hang over a target once the bombs are released if they have not fired their ARMs. This will occur even if ARMs cannot be fired at the target in question.
- Opening 3.6.3 scen causes crash
Opening this scenario in ANW causes Crash. Scenario opens and runs fine in H3.6.3
- Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated
Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated. This does not appear when the AI option is not enabled.
- All ammo not available
300 rounds of ammo are shown, but only 44 are offered for fire allocation.
- Plane ignores Nav Zone
Plane totally ignores Nav Zone
- Mission ignores target list
Targets not restricted to target list for mission.
- Weapon ignores range limitation
Weapon sometimes ignores range limitation and fires on targets outside of the range set by the Database. This can sometimes result in guns hitting targets 100s of miles away. Often, it occurs when the target is vaguely detected.
- Hidden units can be destroyed without detection
When hidden units are part of a group, attacks on the Group Icon can destroy the hidden units without the need to ever detect them.
- Units out of range can be destroyed
Units out of range can be destroyed if they are part of a group.
- Nukes won't work without AALog activated
Nuclear weapons for BCGN Kirov do not work unless AALog is activated.
- Sonobuoy deployment altitude
Sonobuoys can be deployed at any altitude.
- Sonobuoy datalink cannot be turned off
Although the manual says that sonobuoys can be dropped / discarded by turning off the Comm Datalink to them, this is not true under any realism setting.
- Torpedoes ignore cruise depth
Torpedoes ignore cruise depth set by the database even when the "Level Cruise Flight" flag has been set and a value has been entered in the "Cruise Altitude" field. They stay at the depth at which they were fired.
- Ground units attacked by Ship Strike mission
Units assigned to Ship Strike missions will attack ground facilities.
- Ships attacked by Ground Strike mission
Units assigned to Ground Strike missions will attack ships.
- Active sonobuoys dropped passively
Sonobuoys with active-only sonar systems are dropped in passive mode even when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy" hotkey is depressed.
- Active sonobuoys do not deploy
CASS Active Sonar Sonobuoys carried by S-2 Trackers do not deploy when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy (])" hotkey is depressed. However, they do deploy with "Drop Passive Sonobuoy ([)". "," and "." hotkeys seem to work properly.
- Max launch speed restriction
When a unit is travelling faster than the Maximum Allowable Launch Speed of the weapons it is carrying and tries to fire them, the weapon allocation table appears and the player is mistakenly given the choice of firing the weapon. The window no longer displays a warning message and restricts player from attempts to fire.
- Hellfire do not launch in ODb
Hellfire missiles will not launch even though they appear in the weapons allocation window.
- CTD when Database button is depressed
When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will sometimes crash to the desktop when the Database button has been depressed.
[Edit] With the Patch 3.9.0 release, this issue no longer results in CTD. However, it is still erroneous.
- Mission fails to navigate without Full throttle setting
Aircraft without a "Full speed" throttle setting in the database are fully functional under manual control, but are unable to calculate a path to their targets under AI control.
- Planes directly inserted ignore target list
Planes directly inserted ignore targets listed in strike missions. However, planes that launch on those same strike missions will obey the target strike list and not attack any target not on the list.
- All strikers fail to launch
All aircraft assigned to a strike mission fail to launch.
- Player loses control
Player loses control of all units in the middle of a game.
- Protect ViCond doesn't evaluate properly
Protect ship Victory Condition does not evaluate properly.
- Game ends abruptly
When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will end at incorrect times. One side gets a message that it has not fulfilled the ViConds and has lost. He is then kicked from the game even though there is plenty of time remaining. This occurs more often during "high" time compression rate (1:60+).

Units and Group icons show different altitude values in SE.
- ASW/WH torps tracking wrong targets
WH/ASW torps tracking targets they cannot hit.

- Ground targets re-engaged prematurely
Targets are being re-engaged prematurely. Missiles are still in flight when successive attacks are launched thus wasting weapons.
- Map Scale inaccurate
Map scale is erroneous.
- Max altitude for planes is 32,767m
The Max altitude for planes is now 32,767m. Previously, it was unlimited and could simulate satellite platforms.

- SSK rises early
Diesel subs rise to Periscope depth long before their batteries are exhausted.
- Unassign command sound missing
Use of the Unassign Hotkey command on groups will elicit an audible "ping". However, this audible cue is missing when the same command is issued to individual units.

- Ready display always visible
Aircraft ready display shows all planes available at a base regardless of the Base's ability to launch them. Previously, when a base was damaged, those aircraft not able to launch (i.e. Large/VLarge planes) no longer showed up in the Ready menu until the runway was repaired.
- Ready Times shortened
Aircraft with long ready times can have them shortened to the default 30 minutes.
- Re-build All causes planes to loiter
Planes that normally flew at cruise speed go to loiter when Re-Built All command is used.

- Sanity check fails for propulsion alt bands
Sanity check reports an error if altitude bands for propulsion entries are not in sequential order.
- Sanity check fails for propulsion max alt
Sanity check fails to report an error if the max altitude for the propulsion system is greater than the allowable altitude for aircraft. Maximum altitude for aircraft is 32,767m but maximum engine operational altitude value can be set higher.

- Scen locks up at 15 secs into game
Scenario freezes 15 seconds after start of game.
- Sensor default values are zero
When Sensor menu [F9] is activated for individual units or groups, all default values are Zero.

- Torps chase improper targets
Torpedoes chase the improper targets once they reach their activation point even though all potential targets are identical.
- Unarmed units not engaged
Unarmed units will not be engaged by AI units (sub or ship) on Plotted mission. This is due to the fact that the targets pose no 'threat' to the AI unit thus elicits no response. Once weapons are added to the targets, they are immediately attacked.
- Unassigned SSMs do not fire
Unassigned land-based SSMs will fire on ships, but not against land targets.
