[p]Please see below for details on some of the larger features and the full change list for this release. Thank you for your continued support of Sea Power![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Strike Group Molniya Campaign[/h2][p]Strike Group Molniya is Sea Power’s second linear campaign, placing the player in command of a Soviet surface action group operating deep in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Across a series of connected scenarios, players must manage limited resources, evade increasingly aggressive NATO search efforts, and execute high-risk strikes against Allied naval logistics.[/p][p]This campaign introduces new persistence mechanics that carry forward the weapon expenditure and damage of your force between missions, rewarding careful planning and tactical gameplay. This same restriction applies to enemy forces in the area as well, so destroying them in earlier missions will make later missions easier![/p][p]To play Strike Group Molniya, access it from the Campaigns tab of the main menu.[/p][p][/p][p]Strike Group Molniya campaign places you in charge of a small Soviet raider force with an unexpected capability at its disposal. See if you can win the campaign without taking any losses, as the new persistence mechanic means any lost ships will not be replaced in the next chapter![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Missile Kinematics[/h2][p]Missile Kinematics is part of the broader aircraft behavior and air combat rework, introducing a new physics-based flight model that more accurately simulates missile acceleration, energy loss, and maneuver performance. Missiles now behave more realistically over time and distance, making factors such as launch range, target aspect, and defensive maneuvering significantly more important. Together with the wider air combat updates, this results in more realistic engagements where real-world tactics and timing play a much larger role in outcomes.[/p][p][/p][p]KInematics makes air combat more realistic, but be aware that the max range stated in the Encyclopedia may not be possible given current conditions! Select a weapon and then hover over various enemy targets to see if they are truly in range. The game will calculate the real range dynamically.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]New Terrain and Vegetation Updates[/h2][p]This release also includes phase 1 of the updated Terrain and Vegetation visuals project.[/p]

• [p]Terrain visuals have been updated with a new data-driven model that improves definition of regions like forest, grass, cities, farmland, and snow. [/p]
• [p]Improved blending and physically based lighting enhance clarity, color, and detail.[/p]
• [p]Vegetation density and variety have been expanded with upgraded grass, flowers, forests, underwater foliage, tree lighting, rocks, and weather-driven animations.[/p]

[p]Part of this initiative includes moving terrain/vegetation workload off the CPU and onto the GPU. Players should notice improvements in FPS due to this change, especially if you have a newer graphics card. All terrain settings are configurable from the game's Options menu.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]New and Reworked Units and Scenarios[/h2][p]Modified Kashin class BPK, with 4 x SS-N-2C Styx launchers astern, in addition to CIWS and VDS. [/p][p]Royal Norwegian Air Force P-3B with AGM-12 Bullpup missile[/p][p]New Ka-29 helicopter is now available for the Ivan Rogov class, with various CAS and attack loadouts[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]New and Updated Scenarios[/h3][p]Updating the original scenario set and adding new base game scenarios is a high priority for our team. This release adds the following new or updated scenarios to the game:[/p][p]NATO[/p]

• [p]Sub Duel - Denmark Strait (1985): The Soviets are attempting to surge their submarine force into the Atlantic. With hostilities underway, command the USS Baltimore to locate and sink an Alfa class attack submarine off Iceland.[/p]
• [p]Sub Duel - Pacific Shield (1971): USS Scamp has been ordered to neutralize a Soviet Yankee class SSBN operating in its patrol box off San Diego. Intel believes the Soviets may be preparing to strike the Western Seaboard. Locate and destroy the SSBN before it can launch![/p]
• [p]Action in the Gulf of Sidra (1986): As part of Operation ATTAIN DOCUMENT III, U.S. forces have crossed Moammar Gaddafi's "Line of Death", entering the Gulf of Sidra. Shortly thereafter, Libyan SAMs were fired at two American F-14 Tomcats. U.S. forces have been ordered to destroy the SAM site at Sirte in response, and guard against any Libyan counterattack at sea or in the air.[/p]
• [p]Red Madagascar (1985): Warsaw Pact forces have thrown Madagascar into chaos and are attempting to seize the island to expand their reach in the Indian Ocean. Command the Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group to reinforce resistance forces at Antananarivo while South African air and naval units support the operation. Expect heavy opposition from Cuban aircraft and Warsaw Pact naval elements.[/p]
• [p]Showdown Off Guam - Blue (1985): Shortly before hostilities broke out, the Soviets sortied a heavy surface force from Vladivostok into the Pacific. This force contains both the battlecruiser Kirov and the carrier Minsk, and is believed to be heading to strike the U.S. base on Guam. Command the U.S. forces in the area to locate and destroy the Soviet attack force.[/p]

[p]Warsaw Pact[/p]

• [p]Sub Duel - Running the Denmark Strait (1985): War has broken out and our Northern Fleet submarines are ordered to enter the Atlantic to begin convoy hunting operations. Command the Alfa class submarine K-316 to run the Denmark Strait and destroy any NATO submarines who get in your way.[/p]

[p]Hello from the Triassic Games team![/p][p]One of our major initiatives is reworking air combat and aircraft behavior, as this is consistently one of the areas most requested for improvement. [/p][p]All of these initiatives are still Work in Progress, but the team is making progress on each:[/p]

• [p]Allowing drawable Patrol Zones to which aircraft can be assigned on the map,[/p]
• [p]Overhauling the aircraft control UI,[/p]
• [p]Updating the threat prioritization algorithm of AI aircraft,[/p]
• [p]Implementing kinematics, allowing use of real tactics in air combat, especially during BVR combat.[/p]

[p]Today we would like to share an update on Missile Kinematics, which is currently in the final round of testing in the Public Beta Branch. [/p][p]We expect to update the main release branch with these new mechanics in the next few weeks![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Kinematics Overview[/h2][h3]What is kinematics?[/h3][p]Kinematics is the study of objects in motion and how they move, accelerate, and decelerate. For us, this means a more accurate simulation of how missiles fly. Most missiles are rather simple - they are fired, they burn their motor for a short time, then they cruise towards the target, using the inertia built up from that motor burn to allow them to smash through the air that is between them and their target, as well as fight against gravity to get up to their target. Both of these things take energy, and so as the missile travels, it slows down. The faster it’s going, and the lower in the atmosphere it is, the more air it has to smash through to get where it wants to go, and the faster it slows down. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]What this means for Sea Power[/h3][p]Currently, missiles all travel a flat distance before exploding, sometimes slowing down a bit along the path. But for the most part, missiles don’t actually act like that. They start off going extremely fast, then lose speed as they travel through the atmosphere. Atmospheric density, however, falls off quickly as you gain altitude, meaning missiles fired at high altitude, or at targets who are at higher altitude, have dramatically less air to go through, and as such, are slowed down much less, and can travel much further. [/p][p]So the range for missiles isn’t constant any more. Rather, the range starts depending on many factors, which you can try to influence in your favor to make your missiles fly further, and enemy missiles fail sooner.[/p]

• [p]How fast are you going? The missile inherits the speed of the launch aircraft, and this can make a big difference in how fast it winds up going. A fast aircraft can fire a missile a lot further.[/p]
• [p]How high up are you? The air is thinner up high, so firing from high altitude reduces the amount of drag the missile gets.[/p]
• [p]How high up is your target? This is similar to the above point, a high altitude target has less air in the way to stop the missile.[/p]
• [p]And how is the target traveling relative to you? If the target is flying away from you, by the time the missile gets there it will have had to travel a lot further, so it will lose a lot more speed. [/p]
• [p]Is the missile limited by its seeker performance? IR missiles may have drastically reduced range if they can’t see the hot parts of your aircraft and you aren’t having significant body-heating via high speeds and drag, and radar missiles may have issues with small targets low down.[/p]

[p]This means that the range a missile can fly is now no longer a constant, but able to be influenced by many different factors which you can utilize. Wanting to fire a long range strike at some bombers using the AIM-54A Phoenix? Get your F-14s up high and going fast before they fire to extend the range of the missile. Need to dodge a SAM that was fired at you? Dive down and turn away to make it dive into thicker air where it can’t maintain speed. [/p][p][/p][h3]Technical Details[/h3][p]If you are interested in the technical implementation behind Kinematics, our developer Nick (Bluedot) will be putting together a detailed write up on this over on the MicroProse Discord. If you are not on our Discord, we highly recommend joining here: https://discord.gg/8YCeJekkNb[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Community Spotlight - Battle of the Atlantic Workshop Campaign[/h2][p]One of the most common requests we see is for more scenario and campaign content within Sea Power. The Triassic Games team is actively working in this direction, and we plan to release two new Linear Campaigns over the coming months.[/p][p]In the meantime, we’d like to spotlight an excellent community-created campaign, Battle of the Atlantic by IlDuce-17, available now on the Steam Workshop. The campaign currently features 25+ missions, and if you’re looking for a challenging, story-driven experience, we highly recommend subscribing and giving it a try.[/p][p]Each mission in the campaign is a separate Workshop item.

[h2]Sea Power Development Update - December 2025[/h2][p]Happy Holidays from the Triassic Games team! [/p][p]As we approach the end of 2025, we wanted to take a moment to look back at what the team has delivered this year, introduce two new members of the development team, and provide a brief update on several major initiatives currently in progress. We are also using this opportunity to roll out a small update to Sea Power, which is described below.[/p][p]This year has been a significant one for Sea Power, both in terms of feature depth and long-term foundations for the future of the game.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]2025: Year in Review[/h2][p]Throughout 2025, development focused on building upon the core mechanics of Sea Power, as well as expanding the overall scope of the game with new factions, missions, and a campaign. Major updates this year included:[/p]

• [p]New playable JMSDF and PLAN factions, each with brand new units and scenarios.[/p]
• [p]Major rework of Flight Deck operations for enhanced realism and more interesting carrier and airbase gameplay.[/p]
• [p]Introduction of save/load functionality, enabling longer and more complex scenarios to be enjoyed in more than one session.[/p]
• [p]Tacview integration, allowing players to analyze engagements in detail outside the game.[/p]
• [p]Release of the first Linear Campaign, providing a structured story-based experience with connected and branching scenarios.[/p]
• [p]New missions, weapons, and units across all factions, expanding historical scope and providing for more variety.[/p]
• [p]Ongoing AI improvements, providing for better replayability and more challenge for players.[/p]

[p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]Team Update[/h2][p]We are excited to welcome two new team members to Triassic![/p][p]Chris (skyblazer) has joined the art team as a 3D modeler, focusing on the creation of new units. He is a long time Sea Power mod maker known for his work on the Royal Australian Navy mod pack. Chris is based in Australia and brings a strong background in 3D design and asset creation to the team.[/p][p]Nick (bluedot) has joined the team as a software developer and is currently focused on performance optimization and enhancing aircraft behavior and air-to-air combat fidelity. Like Chris, Nick is an experienced mod maker with a professional background in .NET web development.[/p][p]Welcome Chris and Nick![/p][hr][/hr][h2]Current Development Initiatives[/h2][p]As we move toward 2026, several major initiatives are underway. Below is a brief status update on each:[/p][h3]AI Improvements[/h3][p]Throughout the second half of 2025, the team has introduced a variety of enhancements to the Sea Power AI. The latest on AI has been shared throughout the last few community updates, but here is a recap as we approach the end of the year:[/p]

• [p]The AI commander can now classify player ship and aircraft formations based on shared characteristics such as heading, speed, and grouping.[/p]
• [p]AI airbases and carriers automatically launch AEW&C, maintain CAP, and scramble interceptors in response to inbound strikes.[/p]
• [p]AI aircraft will prioritize attacks on detected targets more appropriately, and defend themselves against CAP effectively.[/p]
• [p]AI submarines employ wake-homing torpedoes more effectively by engaging at closer ranges.[/p]

[p]AI capabilities under active development:[/p]

• [p]Active AI reconnaissance using available assets.[/p]
• [p]Expanding airstrike capabilities beyond bomb-only attacks.[/p]
• [p]Enabling the AI to coordinate SEAD and jammers with airstrikes.[/p]
• [p]Morale-based AI behavior and reactions.[/p]
• [p]Improved ASW tactics against player submarines.[/p]
• [p]Better AI weapon employment within appropriate engagement envelopes.[/p]
• [p]Delivery of the AI Framework to the community, allowing scriptable AI for custom missions.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Pictured: experimental AI logic built inside the scriptable AI Framework for transiting Ship A (yellow) past Threats X, Y, and Z (red) to Destination B (green). Weighted threat values (black arrows) for each detected/classified red Threat influence the pathing decisions for Ship A (yellow). Ship A (yellow) is simulated Kidd class DDG, while Threat X (top) is simulated Oslo class FF, Threat Y (top right) is simulated Belknap class CG, and Threat Z (bottom) is simulated Sovremenny class DDG. The sharp turn to the south on classification of Threat Z (Sovremenny) is due to AI understanding of the greater anti-ship threat posed by Sovremenny with its highly capable SS-N-22 missiles.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Performance Optimizations[/h3][p]Performance of Sea Power, especially in larger scale or longer running missions, has been a consistent point of feedback from the community. The team is making a focused effort to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize where possible.[/p][p]Recent improvements include:[/p]

• [p]Significant performance gains in large-scale scenarios, with Public Beta participants (and dev team profiling) showing a 50% increase in FPS in missions. These improvements stem from optimization work led by Nick, our new programmer, who continues to identify areas for improvement.[/p]
• [p]Engine- and system-level optimizations, including revised sensor line of sight checks, improved unit file referencing to reduce load times, and better handling of large unit formations. [/p]
• [p]Progress on hunting down a long-standing memory leak that would result in longer missions slowing down or crashing, preventing the need to save and restart the game to avoid crashes. [/p]

[p]The Triassic Team expects to continue to deliver further performance improvements with each major update. Please stay tuned![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]Aircraft Behavior Rework[/h3][p]Improving the management of aircraft in Sea Power is a high priority for our team. Recently, the team conducted a special session to identify the main areas of aircraft behavior that will be addressed:[/p]

• [p]Improving the aircraft control UI to make aircraft more intuitive to operate.[/p]
• [p]Introducing more realistic missile kinematics to make real defensive/offensive air combat tactics viable.[/p]
• [p]Adding capability to draw out specific patrol/free-engagement zones for aircraft (and extending this capability to ships and other units).[/p]
• [p]Improving WTA (Weapon Target Assignment) algorithms of AI aircraft, so that fighters prioritize targets correctly.[/p]
• [p]Adding more realistic fuel elements to the aircraft simulation, including aerial refueling.[/p]
• [p]And of course, continuing to work out bugs in the flight model (especially the recalcitrant issue where aircraft will climb to 100,000' without explanation...)[/p]

[p]Aspects of these priorities have already been delivered and are live in the latest release (please see release notes below). For the rest, please stay tuned for updates throughout the next few months.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]Dynamic Campaign[/h3][p]With continued progress on Sea Power’s AI systems, the team has begun active development of the Dynamic Campaign. [/p][p]As outlined in previous updates, the initial implementation will focus on a North Atlantic theater set during a Cold War–gone-hot conflict between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in Europe. Our current efforts focus on the strategic map view and the objectives and events shown there (for which the Linear Campaign system has provided a basic framework).[/p][p]As development progresses, we will share additional details with the community.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]Environment/Terrain Overhaul[/h3][p]Work is underway on a major overhaul of Sea Power's terrain and environment systems, led by Ian and Mek on the art team. This effort is focused on improving the visual fidelity of terrain, vegetation, coastlines, undersea environments, and cities within the game.[/p][p]Here is a first look at some of the enhancements. We expect to release the environment overhaul sometime in Q1 of 2026:[/p][carousel][/carousel][carousel][/carousel][hr][/hr][h3]Royal Navy Faction Update[/h3][p]As mentioned in our roadmap (and teased on the Microprose Discord), the next faction we are releasing will the Royal Navy. The following units have been revealed so far, with more to come:[/p]

• [p]Type 21 (Amazon) class frigate[/p]
• [p]Type 42 (Sheffield) class destroyer (Batch 1)[/p]
• [p]Type 22 (Broadsword) class frigate[/p]
