Dear captains,
There is a new patch available for update 2026.1. Changelog:
Localization:
- Russian localization update by Hard.
Type IX:
- Fix: Sometimes aircraft could be detected on the surface, while playing with Type IXC or Type IXC/40, even though U-boat was submerged below periscope depth and had no means of detecting them.
- Fix: Diesel engines often continued to be animated after switching to electric motors.
Ports:
- Fix: If tide was very low, it could be problematic to leave or dock at Penang.
Missions:
- Fix: Missing translation on one objective in Join Monsoon Group mission.
Crew:
- Fix: Merchant skill no longer requires the officer to do trade personally, it's enough to have him among the crew.
Graphics:
- Fix (regression of 2026.1 Patch 13): Some face shapes were looking wrong, since the last patch.
General:
- Fix: It was possible for the camera to get stuck between port menu and map (disabling one was toggling on the other).
- Fix: U-boat was sometimes surfacing after loading a save file, even though no such order was given at the time of saving it.
- Fix: It wasn't possible to skip time when enemy pontoons were nearby.
- Fix: Surrendering and scuttling the U-boat at the end of the war wasn't working.
Yours,
DWS
