Naval battle testing for all who purchased Naval packs!
Test features:
- 3 locations available - North Sea, Andaman Sea, Fiji
- Visibility settings have been implemented for vessel-aircraft/aircraft-vessel visibility checks. As a result the detection range for aircraft depends on the size of any target vessel.
- New notification message has been added - a warning will appear when a player tries to choose a weapon group that is not available on their current vessel. This will not reset the current weapon group.
- Smokestacks on destroyers can now be critically damaged. After a smokestack is damaged, engine power is reduced.
- Warning notifications to activate repairs, fire extinguishing, leak fixing (when necessary) have been added.
- Warning indicator regarding possible collisions with any obstacles has been improved. Now it indicates distance to an obstacle and takes both above- and underwater obstacles into account. When a vessel runs aground the klaxon will no longer sound.
- Direction marker for rocket weaponry has been added
- Icons for the weapon type have been added to the game log. They will appear in the log when a vessel is destroyed by a specific weapon.
- Reverse movement speed has been corrected
- Direction of the torpedo marker now corresponds with the direction of their movement
- Damage radius of fire on specific modules or vessel hull has been reduced
- The number of aircraft spawns in RB mode has been increased to 2.
- Spawn point requirements for fighters in AB mode has been increased. It is now the same as in RB.
List of fixed bugs:
- A bug where a player was not able to start leak fixing has been fixed
- A bug when a vessel wasn’t counted as destroyed even though crew value in hit-cam was 0 has been fixed
- A bug where a fire could not be extinguished has been fixed
- When a vessel receives new shot damage during running repair the current repair progress is no longer cancelled and the time for repairs is extended depending on new damage received.
- A bug where a fire on board was possible after being damaged by depth charges under water has been fixed.
- Bomb falling sound has been disabled for depth charges
- Repair time for specific modules has been corrected in order to avoid situations where repairs could take an unreasonably long time.
- A bug when depth charges and torpedoes were not removed from the vessel’s Damage Model and thus could detonate even after being launched has been fixed.

That's a long test
Don't worry. The CBT start "later this year" as we know...
I like the look of this longer test. Seems to me as though it's starting to "wrap things up" for the pre-beta tests, which would mean one more step closer to the actual CBT. Great work guys!
I think soon naval warfare will be fully implimented
news this year abouts ships? (cruisers at least)
Thanks for hosting this over a couple of days! Will definitely check it out more that way, weekend is bad for me.
All this work going into ships... I can't wait to see ships finally be unveiled for everyone.
When did Night maps get added? Just had a battle at night, it was glorious, especially with all the tracers
when the french ground test?? xD and did we get Silver Lion by doing beta test
With 1.75 launch.
Stona_WT, How About Dev Server, Or Arn't We Getting Dev Server This Patch?
Is the No.13-class submarine chaser depicted in artwork implemented in the future?
Are we to assume ship crews are at their worst or at their best?
