Dear captains,
There is a new patch available for version 2025.1.
Crew:
- Decreased the wind speed threshold at which the crew closes the external hatch when external hatch management is enabled. Previously, there was a range of weather conditions where seawater could easily enter the boat, yet the crew would still open the hatch for ventilation.
- Improved the simulation of water inflow through the external hatch. Previously, water could sometimes enter even when waves should have been deflected by the conning tower walls.
- It is now possible to order officers to perform certain tasks, such as blowing the ballast tanks or switching the power state of devices, even when they are choking due to unbreathable air in the compartment.
- General improvements to the behavior of characters choking due to unbreathable air in the compartment. Time compression is now always disabled when crew members begin to choke.
- Fix: When any of the central compartments on a Type VII U-Boat were evacuated, some idle sailors could sometimes behave erratically or attempt to pass through the evacuated compartments to reach a bunk on the other side of the boat.
Missions:
- Fix: In the "Southern Routes" campaign objective, the number of performed ship inspections could sometimes continue to be registered even after reaching the gold level, causing the progress bar to display values such as: 16 / 15.
General:
- Fix: The camera was getting too close to the attack periscope at the second zoom level, causing some UI elements to occlude the bearing.
- Fix: After opening the breech door and interacting with the stern tube on Type VII U-Boats, the ordnance management screen for the bow torpedo tubes was opening instead of the one for the stern.
Yours,
DWS
