We are pleased to announce the release of a new Harpoon3 database, the PlayersDB. This database has been built upon the excellent foundations set by the H3DB Project (edited by Fred Galano) which in turn was built on the basis of the HUD-II database (edited by Darren Buckley). It incorporates the data from the Harpoon Classic DB (HCDB) that is edited by Brad Leyte. Many thanks to the exceptional work by these three fellows. Without them, the PlayersDB would not have been possible.

In keeping with the design philosophy of H3DB and HCDB, the PlayersDB will follow a policy of "Never delete - only append". Some of the unique features of the PlayersDB are:

• Ships, planes, and subs have been indexed by country for your convenience
  
  
• Players can now see the launch altitude of the weapons. No more guessing at the launch parameters.
  
  
• Numerous special weapons and special platforms for designers.
  
  If you would like to see a special capability or platform for your scenario, let us know and it will be added for you. There is ample room for specialty units and player requests. One player has already been accommodated. He wanted to try Soviet Sub-Launched Land Attack missiles from Charlie-class SSGNs so we modified the torpedo tubes to allow him to test this new feature.
  
  
• Old versions of the DB will be retained.
  
  This is the only certain way to guarantee compatibility. Once a scenario is built, IT STAYS BUILT unless or until the author decides that he wants to adapt it to a newer version. This means that the scenario will play EXACTLY as the author intended.
  
  
• Pre-constructed installations.
  
  Over 110 fully pre-constructed bases and installations for scenario designers to insert with the single click of a mouse. No need to hunt down 40+ individual facilities before adding them to a scenario.
  
  
• Comprehensive descriptions.
  
  Detailed text for subs, ships, aircraft, and weapons.
  
  
• Loadout ready times displayed.
  
  Loadout re-arming times for every aircraft and mission is now fully visible to players and scenario designers.

The scenarios have been re-built for this new database. For those of you who have played them, thank you, and we strongly encourage you to try them again. During our testing, we found that the scenarios run very differently under the new PlayersDB parameters. Not better or worse; just differently. It was almost like playing something brand new. We were very pleasantly surprised to have our butts shot off in the very scenarios that we designed and should have known what was going on!

Over 300 new aircraft, ships, submarines, facilities, classes, countries, and weapons have been added to the Harpoon3 PlayersDB.

With so many American units, we've re-organized them just a little bit. The index only allows 255 types / country so we've given the Americans two country entries and separated them between Combatants and Support roles so that they can fit better within the limitations of the Harpoon 3 database structure. As always, this change will have no affect whatsoever on any existing scenarios. It is only meant to assist designers in locating their desired units.

We've released a new version of the Harpoon3 PlayersDB.

Why have we done this? Why not just continue to add new platforms to PlayersDB 5.9.7 like we've always done?

Well, we've made a few changes that have the potential to affect pre-existing scenarios. For example, if we doubled the range of a missile, this change won't crash any pre-existing scenarios. However, it may affect their balance or how they run.

Rather than run the risk of messing up someone's work, we've released a new version. Just continue to use the PlayersDB version specified by the scenario designer and everything will run exactly as written by the author.

Get the PlayersDB 6.4.9 on HarpDB, PlayersDB Depot, or GameSquad.

Additions include:

A comprehensive mine model has been added. Mines can now be swept by minesweepers and helicopters.

Many thanks to Rene Haar and Thomas Kaup, Kriegsmarine (ret) for their assistance in creating the mine platforms.
