Hi everyone. Is available the "Friendship" update (v.1016) focusing on pilots friends and morale.
Best friend
Now every pilot can have a best friend (not everyone will). You can check it hoovering the mouse on the pilot in the hanger list.
The best friend will affect the stress and fatigue during combat; If two friends are in the same squadron they will accumulate 30% less fatigue and stress. But beware, if a pilot's best friend dies, they will suffer a morale malus of -50.
When you are about to send a squadron on a mission, you can now check the morale of each pilot. When you select two friendly pilots, the morale icon will turn yellow indicating that both will benefit from the bonus in battle.
Morale system revised
Based on new "best friend" system, also the morale has been moved from squadron to single pilot. Now each pilot will have their own morale value. The morale shown in the top bar will then be an average between all pilots.
In addition, morale penalties in the event of a squadron member's death have been revised:
- If a Captain will die: morale of each pilot -30
- If an Ace will die: morale of each pilot -50
New chain event
New chain event for the Russian campaign Moscow. From the second day will come to the camp the leader of the partisans with a request. Depending on the answers you give there may be a final bonus (the bonus will be carried over into subsequent Russian campaigns).
(Apologize but previous saves are not compatible, at the end of the event the bonus will not be awarded)
New features
- The menus of the buildings can now be closed with mouse right button.
Bug fixes
- Kurks campaign: The entry point of the landing track is now shorter, otherwise it would take too long for the planes to return.
- Vehicles bombing missions: Fatigue and stress were not assigned.
- The Ju-87 (Stuka) is no longer used by the enemy as an interceptor in the "bomb factory", "bomb artillery" and "bombing ship" missions.
- Reduced the probability that a pilot will crash from fatigue.
Thank you! Now re-download the game an play it!
