Dear players! This is a preliminary list of new updates and it does not contain all the planned innovations and changes. The final list will be published when the update is released.



Along with the release of the update, an open beta test of the fleet begins. And this means that the ships of the USA, the USSR and Germany became available for research to all players.



Testing the update not only allows us to identify its individual problems, but also to improve the planned innovations even before their official release. We will be grateful to you for the detailed reviews about the updates and ideas for improving this update. Take part in the creation of our game: share with us your impressions about the location of the Black Sea port in a separate topic.



Preliminary list of changes


The format of packing game files has changed, which gives a significant increase in the speed of loading resources in the game, reducing "friezes" if they were observed earlier, a significant increase in performance on dual-core systems (this change will require updating most game files, so the update is about 19 gigabytes).

Changed the behavior of the airbag (especially noticeable during takeoff and landing of helicopters).
BF109E-4, 7 - automatic control panels of radiator leaves replaced with manual control with full engine control.

Correction of characteristics, models of damage and armament of the fleet

Many ships as a modification added bow and side bombers, shooting in the direction of the camera when you press "R".
Added new types of armor. Now, depending on the design, the ships carry bulletproof, splinterless, molded homogeneous, rolled homogeneous and rolled cemented armor.
The system of splinters was reworked, their spread and damage from them became more realistic. Depending on the type and weight of the projectile, the fragments differ in their number, weight and their destructive power. All fragments of the projectile scatter in their diagram (“butterfly”), creating a sector of destruction. In addition, a single projectile may produce fragments of different weight and penetrating ability.
Redesigned Ship Damage Model:

artillery, superstructures, torpedo tubes and other deck instruments and mechanisms are now much more affected by explosions, debris and direct hits; uncovered armor installation has become much easier to disable even machine-gun fire;
internal components and mechanisms are damaged in different ways by explosions, kinetic damage, fragments and fires. For example, boiler rooms are more susceptible to breakage from hitting projectiles and debris than rudders, which often fail from the effects of an explosion;
engines, transmissions and cellars of ammunition in submerged compartments fail, become damaged, or become inaccessible before pumping water out of the compartment;
The splinterless bulkheads, not being destroyed, detain the fragments depending on their thickness and the destructive force of the fragments;
in the compartments with the crew, the vitality and resistance to different types of damage were reconfigured: an explosion and a dense sheaf of fragments would cause the crew much more damage than an armor-piercing projectile that passed through the compartment through;
large ships can withstand the hitting of a light torpedo (for example, SET-40), however, receiving serious damage.
Reworked model of damage to the German swimmers SF-40:

the crew on both batteries is almost completely transplanted from the pontoons to the deck superstructure and artillery installations;
deck superstructure received armor protection from rolled homogeneous armor 10 mm thick, which covers most of the crew (the wheelhouse with the commander and helmsman remained unprotected).
All machine guns and autocannons in caliber up to 20 mm inclusive were stabilized with the help of the gunner’s shoulder rest.
Radio boxes added to all ships; on those ships where they already were, their sizes are adjusted. Placement of the crew in such modules is made depending on the type of ship and historical information.
Added a new condition for the death of a ship when receiving a large one-time explosive damage, even if the number of crew did not decrease below the minimum number. The specific values ​​of such damage depend on the class and size of the ship.
On the Soviet armored MBK-161 (1944) used historical camouflage.
German reserve torpedo boat LS-class renamed to LS 3.
The maximum speed of the German Kanlodka K-2 is reduced from 30 to 18.6 knots in accordance with the information specified in the historical documentation.
Fixed bug with cycling torpedoes in one place in case they were released during a sharp turn of the boat.
The appearance of the fuel tanks in X-ray mode is visually improved and reduced to the same type on all ships.

Added achievements for ships.
Added combat missions for ships.
US and USSR helicopters are now available for research to all players.
Significantly reduced the price of the Soviet patrol ship TFR Pr.159.


Appearance

Added new decorators of infantry and tank helmets from different countries. Old decorators are moved to the appropriate section “Helmets”.
Added new camouflage for F4F-3 and F4F-4.

Added tips and tips for managing ships to the boot screen.



Game mechanics

Fixed a bug that caused the aircraft camera to turn upside down at the sight of a third person.
Fixed a bug due to which the camera was deployed aft on some ships when entering battle.
In ship battles added the ability to capture points using hydroplanes.


Sound

Created sounds for new helicopters.
Small changes to optimize the use of sound resources of the game.
