ESM in Harpoon

Post by JoeDredd »

Hi fellas,

I've been trying out the different versions of Harpoon after nabbing the "Ultimate Edition", and the ESM functionality of 3.9.4 and 3.11 is confusing me. In 3.9.4, the red outlines give me an approximate direction and distance, usually in a rough triangle extending out from my ships. In 3.11, however, I get all sorts of bizarre shapes, often extending in multiple directions at once for a single contact. Which is the more realistic of the two? It is my understanding that 3.11 is the most sophisticated version of Harpoon, but I can't understand how ESM can be useful when detections are so ambiguous.

Edit: For anyone interested, there's an answer at www[.]harplonkhq[.]com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=499

And one from 3.11 for comparison.
