ORIGINAL: T6Simtek This time, the tankers refueled the F-16’s upon takeoff leaving them unable to get to Diego Garcia since they now don’t have the fuel range. Any idea why this happens? I don't know why it would be happening only some of the time, unless the aircraft being refueled are of different types and thus different ranges. (It sounds like you were using all Block 50/52 F-16s?) quote:
The database version number is HCDB-080616. Let me know if I can provide any further assistance ... I have not noticed this in any other databases, however, with all the scenarios available, it would take one person quite a while to get through them all looking for this type of problem. While I always recommend you update to the latest available database, the database version wouldn't be an issue here. quote:
I have also seen the problem arise ferrying from Diego Garcia to the bases in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia so the problem isn't only Bangkok. Yeah, pretty certain it has nothing to do with Bangkok. The long range is part of the issue, which explains why you see it again on the leg from Diego to the Gulf. quote:
By the way, what about producing a WW2 version of Harpoon, or better yet, including WW2 equipment into the database so we could make our own scenarios (e.g. The USS Nimitz vs. the whole Japanese navy AKA the movie Final Countdown). I think that that would be a way to get quite a few more wargamers to play Harpoon. Some (major) elements of WWII warfare don't translate well into HCE, unfortunately. For example, surface gunnery. The code is optimised for the missile age. There are a couple of WWII databases available, both from HarpGamer, but they're very much works in progress. quote:
I have been an avid Harpoon player since my Amiga days back in 1988. It only keeps getting better! That's the thing about Harpoon. True die hards will probably play this game, well, until they die.
