In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game.

Fixed ship movement after the launch of scouting aircraft

Scouting aircraft is a very useful feature for some large ships but after launching, your ship is left defenceless and it’s a good idea for it to be under cover at this moment.

We have fixed a bug where after launching a scouting aircraft from a moving ship the automatic stop mechanism was ill advised and left the ship in reverse. Now, when leaving a ship behind an island you will find it where you left it after the flight.

Fixed helicopter air-to-ground radar ... Read more

Shock wave
The effect from a shock wave from tank gun firing and exploding bombs and shells is now visible on vegetation and trees, as well as on the effects of fire and smoke. For example, when firing a tank gun, you will notice grass bending along the blast wave. A HE round explosion near a burning vehicle will change the direction and speed of the smoke and flame particles. Aircraft bombs, when detonated, cause the surrounding trees and bushes to bend under the action of the blast wave - the more explosive the bomb, the stronger the effect!

We have also improved the effects of shots and hits. After an exp... Read more
