Game changes

New locations and missions

  • New naval location “Black Sea port”.
  • Increased detalization of the naval location “Green mountains gulf”.
  • Full rework of roads and bridges on the following aircraft battles locations locations: Khalkhin Gol, Ardennes, Korsun. Now bridges correctly coincide with the roadway. They now have "embankments" and bridges are much better combined with the landscape. The structure of roads and routes of AI ground vehicles has been corrected: crossroads have been added, new route points and new roads and routes needed for the missions have been added.
  • Helicopter missions have been refined in accordance with player feedback: more light vehicles have been added, helicopters respawn points have been placed further away from AI target clusters. The players will have to choose if they want to protect its own ground vehicles or go hunt enemy ones. By analogy with the aircraft “Front Line” missions, destruction of any ground vehicle counts for the victory of the team:
    • heavy vehicles — 100 scores;
    • medium — 40 scores;
    • light — 20 scores.

Location and mission updates

  • Naval missions are now available in custom battles.

Ground Vehicle model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

  • SU-5-1, M4A1 (76)W, M4A2 (76)W, Flakpanzer I Gepard — The order of ammunition usage has been refined.
  • The vertical elevation speed of cannons for tanks and self-propelled guns where the guidance was done manually with a shoulder rest has been increased:
    • For cannons of calibres up to 40 mm — 15 degrees per second;
    • For cannons of calibres between 40 and 57 mm — 10 degrees per second.
      • Great Britain: A13 (all), Crusader Mk.II, Crusader Mk.III, Churchill Mk.I, Churchill Mk.III, Tetrarch Mk.I, Daimler AC Mk.II, Valentine Mk.I, Cromwell Mk.I, AEC Mk.II

  • 30mm APDS (30mm HSS 831L/A, L21A1) - The type of shell has been changed from APCR to APDS. The penetration of the shell at meeting angles other than normal has been increased.

Aircraft model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

  • 18 inch Mk. XV Torpedo mass is now correctly displayed in the info card.
  • S.M.79 series 4 - injection modification has been removed.
  • PBY-5 - engine display in x-ray view has been fixed, and number of engine cylinders is now displayed correctly.

Flight Model changes:

  • Oblique flow calculation effect has been added for helicopter rotors (more accurate flight behaviour at different speeds).
  • Ground effect performance has been changed (esp. noticeable during take-off and landing).
  • Bf 109 E-4, 7 — automated control of the radiator doors have been changed to manual in full control mode.
  • Ju-288c - tuned according to the data sheet.
  • M.B.175T - tuned according to the data sheet.

Naval fleet model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

  • Multiple vessels now have side and bow mounted bomb launchers as modifications. They can be launched by pressing the “R’ key in the direction of the camera view.
  • New armour types have been added. Now naval vessels have bullet-proof, fragmentation-proof, rolled or cast homogeneous armour depending on the vessel.
  • The fragmentation effect has been reworked. Spread and damage have become more realistic. Depending on the ammo weight and shard type, the resulting fragmentation may be different in weight, number and total damage. All shards spread according to diagram for a “damage sector”. Additionally, one round may produce shards that vary in their weight and penetration power.

Naval Vessel DMs have been reworked:

  • Artillery, upper structures, torpedo launchers and other deck-based components are now more vulnerable to explosions, shards and direct hits. Any unarmoured upper structures can be damaged so they won’t function even with MG fire.
  • Internal modules may also be damaged by explosions, kinetic damage, shards and fire in different situations. Thus boiler compartments are more vulnerable to direct hits and shard damage, unlike controls that are much more vulnerable to explosions.
  • Engines situated in drowned compartments as well as transmission and ammunition rooms will be damaged or become unavailable until the water is pumped out of that section.
  • Fragmentation-proof blankets or screens whilst whole will prevent shards from penetrating dependant on the blankets thickness and the damage power of the fragments.
  • Survivability and resistance towards different types of damage have been reworked for the sections occupied by the crew; an explosion or dense fragmentation will inflict much greater damage than a single AP round that penetrates through a vessel without internal fragmentation.
  • Larger vessels can survive a hit by a light torpedo (SET-40 for example), however they still suffer severe damage.

DM has been reworked for the German SF-40’s:

  • The crew has been moved to the upper deck and artillery deck.
  • Upper deck structure is now protected with 10mm rolled armour that contains most of the crew, however the control cabin remains unprotected.
  • All MGs and autocannons up to 20mm now have stabilization by using of the gunner's shoulder rest.
  • Correct radio cabin dimensions have been added for all vessels. The crew is placed depending on the vessel type and historical data.
  • A new criteria for vessel destruction has been added. When massive damage from an explosion is received (it depends on the vessel size and class) they may still be destroyed even if their total crew value is not lower than required minimum standard to class the ship as previously inoperable.
  • MBK 161 mod.1944 Soviet armoured boat has received its historical camo.
  • The German LS class reserve torpedo boat has been renamed to LS 3.
  • The maximum speed of the German K-2 Kanonenboot has been changed from 30 to 18.6 knots according to historical information.
  • Looping torpedoes around the same area by launching during a sharp turn has been fixed.
  • The appearance of fuel tanks in X-Ray view has been visually improved and is now the same for all ships.

CDK

  • Support for a new type of texture compression (incompatible with game version 1.81 and older) has been added).

Economy and research

  • Achievements for naval vessels have been added.
  • Battle tasks for naval vessels have been added.

  • It is now possible to capture points in Naval battles with hydroplanes/seaplanes.

Changes specific to the PlayStation®4 platform.

A new setting for cursor speed in the menu has been added (available when the cursor control by stick is enabled)

Changes specific to the Xbox One platform.

  • Pre-release of Xbox One is over. The game is now available for everyone with an Xbox One.
  • Xbox players are now able to add PC players as friend, can squad and join game with them.

  • A bug, where the SA.313B Alouette helicopter had only one respawn in ground and helicopter battles instead of two, has been fixed.
  • The algorithm of the default modification selection has been changed. Ground vehicles, by default, now have “parts” and “FPE” as a priority. Destroyers and cruisers, now have the tool set and fire protection system by default. All other vessels, the seakeeping and unsinkability modification group will now be by default. This means if you, for example, purchase a tank, the “parts” modification will be chosen automatically for research.

2nd patch

  • A MacOS 10.14 bug where a wrong resolution was applied has been fixed.

15.11.18

  • Changes has been made to the naval research trees of Germany and the USSR in order to equalize the speed of player progression and to ensure equal research speed conditions for destroyers.
  • German Naval research tree changes:
    • S-100 (1944) - has been moved to the right of the S-100 (1945), and it now unlocks the ability to research the SF40. The VS-10 has taken its place in the tree.
    • The SF40 is no longer required to unlock the AF D1.
  • Thus in order to unlock rank 3 for Germany, a player has to research both the S-100 (1945) and the VS-10.
  • USSR Naval research tree changes:
    • The Pr. 1204 Late has now been moved below the Pr. 1124 (1940). It now unlocks research for rank 3 vessels.

  • A problem when launching game on laptops with an integrated AMD graphic card has been fixed.

20.11.18

  • In ground realistic battles, new mechanics for fast repair of engine and transmission has been implemented as referenced in the recent devblog:
    • A disabled engine blocks vehicle movement completely for 20 seconds, after which it is restored to 40% of its original power.
    • A disabled transmission blocks vehicle movement completely for 20 seconds, then the range of gear change is reduced by two.
  • This type of fast field repair does not require the “parts” modification.
  • Naval Bug fixes:
    • MPK-163 — a bug where the mortar became available after unlocking depth charges has been fixed. A bug where bombs were not being displayed in X-Ray view has been fixed.
    • Cowell (DD-547) — A bug when firing the main calibre gun caused depth charges to also drop has been fixed.
    • S-38b — A bug where torpedoes were still displayed in X-Ray view after they had been launched has been fixed.
    • Pr. 206 — auxiliary targeting armament modification has been removed (not required). German Pr 206 displacement value in the info card has been corrected.
    • Pr.191 — Max. speed and displacement values in the info card have been corrected.
    • LS 4 — two extra respawns have been removed.
    • Pr. 159 — mortar magazine is no longer displayed in X-Ray view if mortar has not been researched, depth charges are disabled. Visual effects for rounds hitting water have been improved; the main calibre gun turrets rotation speed with installed mortars has been corrected.
    • PGH-2 — a typo in the displacement value in the info card has been corrected
    • AF D1 and AF D3 — researchable 37mm rounds for the auxiliary targeting armament have been removed. 20mm ammo belts for the AA have been added instead.
    • AF D3 — all 20mm Flak guns have been moved to AA group.
    • S-100 Lang, S-100 (1945), S-204 — 20mm autocannon modifications ammo belts reload has been unified. Changed to 1200 shots per barrel. A bug where only half of the magazine was being loaded has been fixed.
    • KMS Emden, Type 1939 — turret armour thickness values in the info card have been corrected.
    • Fairmile D (697), Fairmile D (5001) — deflection angles on the 57mm guns have been increased.
    • Pr.1124 (1940), Pr.1124 Rocket version, Pr.1124 (1945), Type 143 — camera position has been changed.
    • Type 140/141 — torpedo side launch has been corrected.
    • Asheville (PGM-84) — main calibre gun overheat has been added; reload time has been reduced from 15 to 10 secs.
    • API-T rounds have been added to the Vickers Mk.V 12.7mm MG.
    • Smoke trails for all naval MGs and autocannons of calibres 7 to 40mm have been removed.
    • Overheat has been added for 30mm, 57mm, 76mm naval autocannons.
    • Overheat has been removed for all naval MGs up to 20mm calibre.
    • Chance of destruction for larger ships with one hit has been decreased.
    • Oil tank detonation for larger ships has been removed.
    • Each calibre now has a preset of dispersion diagram and shard penetration value. HE, AP and shrapnel rounds have different diagrams for shard dispersion. Sheets for armour penetration and kinetic damage of HE shells have been corrected. The damaging effect of HE and AP shells of medium and large calibre (57-180 mm) has been reworked. Now, with increasing calibre, the damage effect will also increase correctly and shells of different calibres are more significantly different from each other. The striking ability of shells of large calibers (150-180 mm) is now much higher.
    • Torpedo launch animation speed has been increased for the following vessels:
      • LS 4
      • LS 3
      • S-38
      • S-38b
      • S-100 (1945)
      • S-100 Lang
      • S-204
      • Type 143
      • Pr.183

21.11.18

  • A system which allows you to keep track of the rounds that you have fired has been added. It is often difficult to distinguish between water splashes caused by different rounds, especially at large distances. So in arcade naval battles, we have added a system which highlights (in green) the round, part of its trajectory, and where it falls. This highlighting begins to work when shooting at distances of 3.5 km or more while using guns of at least 100 mm calibre. These parameters are not final and may be changed. You can turn this option on in the controls menu. Ship → Weaponry → show projectiles trajectory.
  • The mechanics of aircraft usage in naval battles has been changed. Now, it is not possible to use aircraft with a BR higher than 0.6 of the maximum ship BR in one’s lineup. Additionally, prohibited aircraft will not be taken into account for matchmaking.
    By way of example, a player with the a setup such as this: “Ship BR 2.7; ship BR 3.0: aircraft BR 3.0; aircraft BR 3.7” will join a battle with a BR between 2.0 and 4.0 and will not be able to use aircraft with BR 3.7.

22.11.2018

  • A bug discarding the gamepad “cursor speed” setting value after every game launch has been fixed.
  • A bug affecting performance during camera movement in the hangar on the consoles has been fixed.

26.11.18

  • A new mission type, “battle”, has been added for Naval battles. See details in the dedicated forum topic.
  • A single time popup in the hangar screen, which recommends that players try vehicles and game modes they haven’t played yet, has been added.

28.11.18

30.11.18

  • Naval tutorial has been added.

06.12.18

  • A bug in the “boat control basics tutorial”, where a vessel would delay initiating the stop action when requested, has been fixed.

10.12.2018

  • A bug where the time delay to escape battle was lengthy on weaker PC configurations has been fixed.
  • A bug where the icon for ammunition refilling didn’t disappear when joining air strike in ground vehicles AB has been fixed.

  • A bug where in Naval Battles after automatic reloading of alternative type of ammunition to depleted ammunition did not occur has been fixed.
  • A bug where in VR headsets, the internal parts of players helicopter model was shown has been fixed.
  • A bug where the ground vehicle turret with stabilizer was turning faster than normal on opposite hull rotation has been fixed.
  • Notification of selected game mode change by user when switching a vehicle preset or nation has been added.
  • In the vehicle setup menu the information about the game mode which is connected to current vehicle preset has been added.
