The final information will be published on our game's website.“We thought this was a good way to diversify the gameplay,” Nikolaev said in an interview with GamesBeat. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Some small changes made to the sizes of the fragmentation area of damage to submarines for HE rockets and bombs.

Added the fragmentation area of damage to submarines for AP rockets and bombs.Reduced delay between planes being called and actually appearing on the battlefield.Time before depth charges explode reduced from 10 to 7 s.

'Anti-Submarine Aircraft Modification 2' (Slot 4):

Bonus reload time of the Depth Charge Airstrike reduced from 40% to 20%.

+25% to the HP of Depth Charge Airstrike aircraft.

'Anti-Submarine Aircraft Modification 1' (Slot 3): These will have names and icons different from the similar upgrades of surface ships. For US submarines it will be a static 600 m/s, and for German submarines 500 m/s.įor submarines specifically, unique variants of the Steering Gears upgrades have been added.

Now the speed of any sonar ping emitted on the surface will be the same as it would be underwater.

The width of the sonar ping and its impact radius has been increased 1.5x for all submarines.

For all submarines, detectability range after emitting a sonar ping now increases to a flat 4 km, rather than the detectability value of the submarine on the surface.

The speed of torpedoes changing depth is now approximately 2.5x higher on average.

When emitting a sonar ping in smoke: from 2 to 2.1 km.

By air and submarines: from 2.1 to 2 km.

When emitting a sonar ping in smoke: from 2 to 2.1 km.

By air and submarines: from 2.2 to 2.1 km.

When emitting a sonar ping in smoke: from 2.1 to 2.2 km.

By air and submarines: from 2.7 to 2.2 km.

By air and submarines: from 2.6 to 2.2 km.

When emitting a sonar ping in smoke: from 2.3 to 2.4 km.

By air and submarines: from 2.6 to 2.4 km.

For surface ships, in turn, it will become easier to use the Depth Charge Airstrike on detected submarines.Īdjusted maximum sonar ping and torpedo range:Īdjusted detectability range by air, by other submarines, and when emitting a sonar ping in smoke: In particular, submarines will benefit from periscope depth becoming more effective for conducting attacks, as well as the change to make submarines less detectable when emitting sonar pings. The changes will improve the interaction between submarines and surface ships for both parties.
