  • The number of players required in the queue to start a mission has been reduced
  • The spawn cost in Spawn Points for ships has been removed
  • Arcade difficulty level now uses the difficulty settings from Naval Arcade Battles
  • A spawn timer for spawning with the same vehicle at the same spawn point has been added
  • Enemies detected by allies are now displayed regardless of the distance to them

Graphics

• An issue where the reference images in the “Water Effects Quality” setting were swapped has been fixed. (Report).
