  • New naval location "Drowned city"

Location and mission updates

  • Animation for distant windmills and pump jacks has been added.
  • Visual issues of snow have been fixed for the location "Stalingrad - tank battle".
  • Airfields at the higher ranks will now be protected by modern anti-aircraft guns, including missile weaponry, in aircraft RB missions where an integrated system of different fields for battles at different ranks was received in recent updates.
  • The following missions now have the mechanics of different airfields for battles at different ranks:
    • Operation "Sicily"
    • Operation "Korea"
    • Operation "Ruhr"
    • Operation "Tunisia"
    • Operation "Zhengzhou"
    • Operation "China Civil War 1946"
  • Overall rework of visuals in "Pacific Hidden Base"

Enduring Confrontation

  • The "Sicily" mission is back in rotation. The mission is based on the greatly reworked EC logics, for which the other EC missions will have transferred soon. The full list of changes you may find in previous changelog during the testing of "Sicily". Additional changes are:
    • Mission is rotated 90 degrees in order for every team to have its own part on land and sea.
    • Every team has its own carrier.
    • Mission's size is increased from 7x7 to 8x8 squares; the square sides are 8,192 metres.
    • Modern AA systems, Including missiles, have been added to airfield protection in high rank battles.
  • New mission "Denmark" is available in custom battles only, its size is 128x128 km.
    • Known bug: AI ships may ram and get stuck in each other.
  • Migration to this logic will occur in stages, during this major update.
  • Modern AA systems, Including missiles, have been added to airfield protection in high rank battles in the following missions: "Maginot Line", "Tunisia", "Zhengzhou", and "China Civil War 1946".

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

Naval weaponry:

  • Sea mines — lifetime has been increased to 15 minutes. Mine ammo stowages have become unreplenishable for all vessels armed with mines. I.e. the ability to drop mines once in a battle.
  • Detection distance for mines and torpedoes has been increased. Enemy torpedo detection range now depends on the vessel's size and height and approximately equals to:
    • boats - 100-200m
    • destroyers - 400-500m
    • Cruisers, battleships - 600-700m
    • Enemy mines might be detected at distances approximately half of the above listed.
    • Allied torpedoes and mine detection distance is double of the above listed.
  • Now, if the guns did not have time to aim at the aiming point, and the player switches weapon group, the guns continue aiming at the point where the player was aiming. Works with disabled target designation for AI gunners.
  • Ammo storage for all ships with the depth charge stocks have been removed. At the same time the spare charges remained on racks near the mortars.
  • 100-mm/70 SM-5-1 gun (Chapaev, Sverdlov, Zheleznyakov) — remotely fused AA shell ZS-56 has been changed to ZS-55.
  • Imperatritsa Maria, Poltava — characteristics of the 4500mm torpedo (1912) have been corrected.
  • IJN Agano — fire rate of the 80mm/60 Type 98 gun has been corrected to 25 rpm. Two triple-barreled 25mm guns have been removed from the superstructure.
  • Aquilone — AI fire on aerial targets has been corrected. Fire distance and accuracy have been increased. A bug with the reduced distance limit of the main guns has been fixed.
  • Ognevoy, Tashkent — number of first order shots have been increased to 24.
  • For AP shells of the 152 mm/47 Mk.16 and 203-мм/55 Mk.14 cannons (USS Cleveland, USS New Orleans) the parameters of the frontal resistance have been corrected which leads to the changes in the armour penetration.
  • HMS Invincible — stern torpedo launcher and torpedo ammo rack have been added.
  • HMS Dreadnought — stern torpedo launcher and torpedo ammo rack have been added. Positioning of the bow torpedo launchers has been corrected in accordance with blueprints.
  • USS Baltimore — elevation angles have been corrected for 40mm Bofors guns.
  • USS Baltimore, USS Helena — Mk.46 semi-AP round has been added for 127mm\38 Mk.12 guns.
  • HMS Liverpool — remote fuse rounds have been added for 152mm and 102mm guns.
  • RN Pola, RN Zara, RN Trento — overestimated spread has been corrected for 203mm/53 Ansaldo mod.1927 and mod.1924 guns.
  • Frunze — a bug has been fixed that prevented a full ammo rack of 45mm rounds.
  • SMS Von der Tann, SMS Helgoland, SMS Kaiser — one torpedo has been removed from the side torpedo launchers.
  • SMS Von der Tann, SMS Helgoland, SMS Kaiser — one torpedo has been removed from side torpedo launchers, where "spoon" tube covers have been installed. Spare torpedoes have been moved to stowages.

Naval modifications and crew skills:

  • PT-109 — Unnecessary modification with depth charges has been removed.

Naval characteristics, physics and damage model:

  • The damage model of destroyers has been changed and now corresponds to a "cruiser" form. The hull is divided into compartments responsible for flooding and housing the remaining modules. The crew is located in several internal compartments, from where it can be replenished into crew-carrying modules.
  • Explosive armour Breach - Explosive armour Breach has been implemented for naval battles for all high-explosive projectiles with an instant fuse. When the shell detonates on an obstacle, the explosion penetration will be checked. And if it is sufficient for a breach, a gap in the obstacle will be breached into which gases and a sheaf of debris will rush. This allows optimization of the number of calculations for explosions on the armour and leads to a unified calculation of the force and damage of fragments and sectors of their dispersion. HE shells have become more effective in hitting modules and crew inside the ship if they have enough blast penetration.
  • On all large ships the damage model of open gunnery and units with open shields has been redesigned. They are now more susceptible to damage from close bursts and shrapnel.
  • Unnecessary holes appearing on naval vessels have been removed. Holes will only appear on the hull of the ship.
  • A bug with the probability of detonation of a vessel's own torpedoes has been fixed. The chance that the torpedo will detonate when it is destroyed is now 3-7% (depending on the conditions of destruction). There is also a small chance of detonation when a torpedo is exposed to a severe fire. If one torpedo detonates other torpedoes in the explosion zone may detonate under the same conditions. The probability will be checked for each torpedo individually. The force of the torpedo explosion depends on the type and quantity of explosives in its warhead and causes appropriate damage to the vessel in its radius. So a torpedo explosion in the launcher or in the cellar will not necessarily result in instant destruction of a ship, but it is possible. So is the chain detonation of all torpedoes affected by the explosion.
  • Nurnberg — The shape and thickness of armoured belts and armoured decks have been fixed. The armour of bow cellars, barbettes and the deckhouses have been fixed. Armour on rangefinder posts have been added. Location and number of ammunition cellars has been corrected. Gun shields have been added for six twin-barrelled 20mm guns.

  • IJN Ikoma — Armour of the main calibre turrets has been fixed.
  • IJN Tone — 50mm rings have been added to the armoured deck above the cellars inside the barbettes.
  • Krasny Krym, Krasny Kavkaz, HMS Kent — Excessive roll on turning has been corrected.
  • HMS Southampton — The shape and location of the fuel tanks has been corrected. Armour thickness and materials have been corrected for barbettes, side armour on ammo stowages, and main calibre turrets.
  • Syonan — Location and size of ammunition, fuel tanks, engine room have been corrected. Ammunition elevators and a visual radar model have been added.
  • IJN Kiyoshimo — The model of the superstructure and funnel to permit rotation for the first torpedo launcher of 360 degrees have been changed.
