Status: offline 		While most of the technical issues encountered so far appear minor or fixable, we're planning to do a first patch some time next week. This will address the main issues spotted so far as well as add some extra content/features.

The list so far:

  • Gameplay: All torpedo bombers can now switch to bombs
  • Gameplay: Experience gain from combat increased
  • Specialisation: British Pacific Fleet fixed & 2 Seafire aircraft added
  • Fix: Various unit stats fixed
  • Fix: Dutch Overvalswagen APC no longer causes framerate drop on Java scenario
  • Fix: Various issues with AI freezing fixed
  • Fix: Scenario restart now correctly resets campaign events
  • MP: PBEM Lobby, disappearing game names fixed
  • MP: 2vAI Java and 2vAI Bataan coop maps added
  • UI: Force List, unit category filters added
  • UI: Force List sorted by unit nation > category > type
  • UI: Empty hexes can be selected to inspect terrain type
  • UI: Hex location names visible on map and/or UI
  • UI: Checkbox to disable AI spinning animation in options menu
  • UI: For transport moves, the potential combat prognosis is displayed for the transport type, not the current unit type
  • Strategic Map: Left-click on map moves the camera to that location.
  • Scenarios: Philippine Sea, Coral Sea (Japan) and Midway (USA) objectives fixed/improved
  • AI: Offensive AI teams now attempt to clear mines
  • Modding: Mod launcher, improved mod folder support, 3D model importing


    A final change list will be announced when the patch is completed and available.

    Request: Can you make 'Empty' hex (no unit) terrain viewable in the terrain window?

    I'm suspending my game time until the patch comes out. The game told me I lost the Battle of Midway despite having prevented an invasion and having sunk four Japanese carriers. The game thinks I lost the whole campaign

    That has to be a bug, perhaps a corrupted save file? I did that campaign scenario and won with exactly the same parameters as you lost with - so it is not a uniform bug, but more likely something unique to one instance. Of course, that does not mean it is not a repeatable bug. I'm curious to see what they find in the submitted saved game file.

    Status: offline     		It appears that at least one type of bug exists in carrier scenarios, but I don't know if this one has been made known to the developers yet. I do recall that in one other scenario I did not get credit for sinking a carrier so I had to find another to sink. Perhaps it has something to do with how the Japanese carriers show up in the database. Other than this problem I have been enjoying the game.

    Make sure you sink a (Japanese) fleet carrier. I think this is needed.
    The Japanese have a couple of smaller carriers that may not be counted towards reaching the objective.

    Just curious, what wrong flag?
    There are two in the game to allow you to have two factions ie when playing coop with 2 humans (or 1 human + 1 AI).

    In war, Japanese forces used the rising sun flag.

    Status: offline     		1. I miss:
    1.1 If we order a unit to sleep, we see a visual indikator.
    I need also a visual indikator if my unit is napping.

    1.2 I miss a hotkey to center a selected unit in the middle of the screen.
    Isn't such a hotkey standard?

    2. The rising sun flag:

    I see.
    I'm in SP with the US - I would prefere to see the rishing sun flag in my game.

    3. Patch update:
    Is there an update on the patch (Release date, contents)?
    Looks like the game would please me.
    Now I'm impatient!

    Status: offline     		There is a stream of zzzzzz rising from the sleeping unit. The other mode (nap?) has no visuals as far as I know.

    Agree, a 'center map on unit' would be useful.

    Changing the flag means replacing every unit one the map.... I had the same question during testing, but i've learn to live With the 'wrong' flag being used in some (most?) scenarios.
    In my own scenarios I use one flag for navy and one for army.
