Yes, the patch is a reality and nearing completion. NOTE: It will still need to go through DreamCatcher QA before it get's released.
What's in the stocking:
- Transitioning Time Of Day
- Transitioning Weather (yup, you can watch a stormfront move in)
- Highly detailed Guns:
- Ship Markings (U-35 for example)
- Finish ANY campaign and you will have the rank to drive a BattleCruiser in the "Tactical Patrols"
- How about an EBOAT:
note the reskinned hud...
- more squadron commands in the re-skinned big-tactical:
notice you can call for help too....
- redid the compass while we were re-skinning:
- updated the dive controls for submarines:
- remodelled the PTBoat (Robert Wolfe & Howard Day - che formidable):
- remodelled the submarine interior (this is not the final version...):
- mini-tactical components for greater control over depth charge and torpedo systems:
- the Patrols screen has gotten a new layout:
yup...you now have options for time of day, hours in a day, the enemy you fight, sea state and weather. Notice on the Data Screen you can now select the ship/submarine you want to do the mission in. Also you will see that the mission types are broken out. This is to make room for the player created missions...yup...a mission editor is in the works. The weapons and loadout buttons are there for future upgrades.
- a new Voice Response Pack. Users can create their own voice packs.
- updated voice commands, better performance and reponse selection
- Crew will give you a direction, heading and bearing for incoming torpedoes
- Greg Lancaster's FX system has been implemented. Planes trying to bomb you is even more fun...the water explosion is really good. So are many of the other updated FX.
- First Person PomPom guns, enhanced FIRE DIRECTORS and improved animations on all the guns.
There is more, but I thought I'd give you a peek at most of what's coming up in the next 2 weeks.
