Test schedule - From the 19th of January, until the 22nd of January, between 17:00 GMT and 05:00 GMT each day
Naval Battles testing will be available for all who purchased Naval packs!
Test features:
- Familiar locations will be available for this test: Andaman Sea, North Sea, Fiji and the updated African Gulf and Norway.
- Instead of predefined aircraft, players will receive a random fighter and a bomber. If you hover the mouse pointer over the respective aircraft slot, you will see a list of all potentially available aircraft. These aircraft will have standard ammo belts and a predefined payload load-out.
- In addition to slots with random aircraft, players will see available aircraft that they own in the slots. The maximum BR of a player’s own aircraft in which you can respawn in the battle has been limited to 5.0.
- The animation of moving allied and enemy ships when observing at long distances has been improved (the ships will no longer soar above or below the water).
List of fixes:
- A bug where a player was not able to start leak repair 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.
Known bugs:
- Modules can only be repaired once they are completely destroyed. This bug will be fixed in the nearest future.
- Due to technical issues RP and SL gain in naval battles has been temporarily switched off.
