Ever tried Harpoon 3.


We interupt this thread with an important public service announcement:

H3 ANW is broken. Don't buy it. 2.5 years after release even the demo doesn't work correctly. H3 is a "shoulda-woulda-coulda" that held much prommise, but has never lived up to its potential, and probably never will.

HCE (Harpoon Commanders Edition) is the route I would reccomend.

We now return you to your regularaly scheduled thread. This public service announcement was brought to you by a member of BG Foxtrot, SAG Charlie during Operation Praying Mantis who expects designers of modern naval warfare games to "get it right".

You were there... WOW. i read somewhere that when you splah a sub its not that pleasent sound when it die's... Was it hard to track a Kilo? Polish Navy has one of those we also had number of Foxtrots but those were junk... i really miss that there is no WITP like game set out in the WWIII


I was involved in a "sinkex" in the late 1970's , when they sank the WW2 boat Sealion (the 2nd one). We listed to the sounds both live , and then later recorded (from recorders on the boat). It really did sound like something out of a ww2 sub movie.

I've had trouble with both copies of Harpoon that Matrix published. Niether works well. I bought the Coimmanders Edition on the Matrix hype that it was significantly improved on Harpoon classic 97. Sorry , it's not an improvement, it's a retro-grade. The original works much better. In the new version , the editor doesn't work.

I haven't tried the editor yet, so thanks for the heads up. I do like HCE better than HC 97 because, to me, the AI seems to handle itself better.

The only sub I ever heard implode was from a sonobuoy recording of the Soviet Yankee K-219 that sank after suffering a missile explosion near Bermuda. The sound of the implosion on reaching crush depth was far less dramatic than I thought it would be, possibly because several compartments had already flooded. Just a "pop, pop, pop" and that was it.

Any diesel sub is difficult to track submerged on battery. The Kilo is a much more modern design and more stealthy than the Foxtrot or even the Tango. But the main factor is the skipper of the boat. If he knows what he is doing, he can make things difficult. If he doesn't, the quietest submarine in the world won't help him.
