I wonder how this compares to Harpoon/Harpoon2

[atulinea]

Sure looks a lot like Harpoon2. Am hoping they lower the cost of entry though.

It would not be right to ignore the tremendous work of the Harpoon community over the years. But man that GUI is rough. And the graphics on the latest editions I bought from Matrix - there's just no excuse for any game of such depth to look so incredibly bad :)

It's very definitely based on Harpoon 2/3. I still have the original Harpoon 2 command cards, and the keys in-game are bound to the same values. I've played a great deal of Harpoon 2 and 3, and this is Harpoon 2/3 with nothing removed, but with a lot of extra detail added. The multimonitor support is very nice too.

In a nutshell, it's Harpoon 2/3, with a graphical and UI over-haul, better performance, improved sensor modelling, mobile ground units, and with rates of turn and acceleration added for aircraft and vessels.

CMANO has a Tactical AI that works. That alone puts this one in its own league. Not to mention the higher fidelity of the map data. And last, the fidelity in the simulation itself: you won't see torpedoes going through enemy ships in this one because the simulation "skips" time steps in order to provide time acceleration.

Comparing CMANO with Harpoon 2 is like comparing Falcon 4.0 with F-15 Strike Eagle III.

You gota love watching ingressing aircraft beaming incoming missiles in their terminal phase. It's really a thing of beauty.

Amen bro!

It's far better than Harpoon. Things that /never/ worked properly in Harpoon just work now.

No more 360 degree radars, infinite plane ammo and rear firing missiles

The only thing Harpoon has that CMANO doesn't is the harpoon/usermade scenerios. I really wish that people would port them over. Sadly I already got the no-go on the old warfaresims harpoon scenerios. (frankly, warfaresims, if you're listening, I wouldn't mind buying DLC of those scenerios updated from you)

As I posted on the Matrix forum:

My plan is to convert the 'WW3 in 1985' battleset for Harpoon3 into a campaign for Command:

{ССЫЛКА УДАЛЕНА}http://www.harpoonhq.com/harpoon3/scenarios/plot-ww3in1985.html

...but first I need to finish the Advanced Strike Planner, since those scens will be centered on carrier air ops :)

Then again, there are ca 300 scenarios available for Command currently? So should be enough to keep players busy for a while.

Ragnar, you have no idea how happy this makes me to hear this. Please port the other battlesets as well.

I remember wondering the same years ago... remakes of the Harpoon Battlesets & Scenarios. Would buy them instantly. Why not considering to do that? It's an insta-buy and very rich... full of interesting content. For now... I'm still happy to have bought Harpoon Ultimate Edition.
