Alpha-7 v75 hotfix

Hello all,

A hotfix has just become available:

[h2]Alpha-7 v75[/h2]
[h3]BALANCES[/h3]
  • Improved Auto-Design and balanced ship weights/costs further for even better designs.
    Note: This change might make some of your old designs overweight, but you should be able to repair them by lowering speed, armor or other settings.
  • Ship design tonnage step reduced from 100 to 50 tons (provides more design flexibility, especially for smaller ships plus makes Auto-Design to be more effective).
  • Improved AI auto-targeting, so that it switches target to nearest threats more actively.
  • When shells hit strong armor at an angle they have bigger chance to cause at least partial penetration instead of zero-damage ricochets.
  • Reduced dispersion of shells. Problem of too low accuracy at short ranges should be resolved. Destroyers need to operate at safer ranges but will still be dangerous and useful.
  • Increased slightly the potential damage of detonations/flash fires. Their impact will become even more critical.
  • Reduced maximum torpedo ammo to be from 2 to 4 rounds per tube, according to design setting.
  • Torpedo reload time increased +25%.
  • Engine repairs became somewhat faster according to type of engine (Fully flooded or damaged engine sections are not repairable).
  • Improved the Hull form statistics of the modern Russian destroyers to aid them achieving higher speeds. The Destroyer leader hull shape has improved.
  • Increased detection bonus of Sonar, so that it can trace electric torpedoes or other stealthy types, more effectively. Cost of Sonar has been increased.
  • Fine tunings in base ship maneuvering characteristics (addressing issues that could cause slow ships to stall and become very unwieldy).

[h3]MISSIONS[/h3]
  • Increased time and reduced AI techs for mission: "Battleship vs Torpedo Boats".
  • Added two Destroyer escorts and increased distance of AI reinforcements in mission: "The US Super Battleship". Tech level of AI opponent reduced. Now you need to destroy only 3 Battleships (instead of 4).
  • Expanded time limit for mission: "Destroyers vs Torpedo Boats".
  • Changed objectives of "Contest in the Black Sea" so now you need to sink 60% of enemies (instead of sinking the Battleship and Battlecruiser which was very difficult).
  • Changed objective of mission: "The Modern Battleship" so that to win you need to sink 70% of enemies, instead of 100%.
  • In mission "Destroy a Full Fleet" the enemy AI fleet has now less advanced tech level. Objective has changed so that now you need to sink half of enemy fleet but also protect half of your own fleet (instead of sinking 70% of enemy ships).
  • Increased time and funds for mission: "Undefended Convoy".
  • Other minor fund changes to some missions.

[h3]MINOR FIXES[/h3]
  • Fixed secondary cage mast not having adequate placeholder to fit in a USA battleship of 1899.
  • Fixed issue of French “Semi-Armored Cruiser” of the 1890s that did not allow 2-inches guns to fit in casemates while no larger guns fitted.
