Sea Power News

[p]Hello from the Triassic Games team! [/p][p]We are releasing another patch today which fixes a major issue with missile speeds not working as expected. This especially affected missiles with group guidance capability, like the Granit or Bazalt (SS-N-19 and SS-N-12). Several fixes for the Molniya campaign are also included along with more weapon tuning. [/p][p]This release also adds a new folder into the Scenarios menu called "Intro Scenarios". These are basic beginner scenarios, ideal for new players, intended as a place to start after completing the tutorials: [/p]

• [p]Red Sea Breakout - NATO (1988): USS Yorktown has been directed to force the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Soviet-backed Yemeni forces are attempting to deny the passage with fast attack craft, MiG-21 fighters, and coastal missile batteries. Fight through the defenses and enter the Gulf of Aden to assert the right of innocent passage.[/p]
• [p]Narvik Counterattack - Soviet (1985): NATO forces are attempting to attack our beachhead at Narvik. Command two Northern Fleet destroyers to repulse their attack.[/p]

[p]Thanks to the community for your continued support! [/p][p]Fixes from previous release:[/p]

• [p]Campaign: Molniya missions 3, 4, 5 fixed some AI units with incorrectly overridden ROE to Weapons Tight [/p]
• [p]Fixed corrupted Mission Editor map centerpoint icon[/p]
• [p]Fixed missiles not accelerating properly[/p]
• [p]Fixed issues with group guidance for Granit and Bazalt missiles[/p]
• [p]Fixed booster run times and ground unit targeting[/p]
• [p]Null refs [/p]

[p] Improvements and additions: [/p]

• [p]Campaign: Molniya mission 4, removed S-3A that immediately spots the player[/p]
• [p]Sensors: DECM/OECM behavior revised, most advanced ECM sets are somewhat more capable against missiles (slightly higher JamChance) [/p]
• [p]Weapons: increased initial flight duration of UGM-109 [/p]
• [p]Weapons: AGM-84 acceleration increased to 0.5G [/p]
• [p]Removed port side windows on E-2 [/p]
• [p]Translations [/p]
• [p]Scenarios: adding new Intro scenarios folder; new intro/beginner scenarios "Red Sea Breakout 1988" and "Narvik Counterattack 1985" [/p]

Hello from the Triassic Games team!

Today we are posting another hotfix for a few issues encountered recently. This patch release resolves the issue with tutorial search areas not appearing on the map, corrects firing arcs for the Kashin Mod destroyer's SS-N-2C missiles, along with other small fixes.

We have now added a "Restart Mission" button to both the Pause menu and the Debrief/AAR menu. Additionally, many weapons have received a proper sustainer effect, with more to come later on. This patch includes minor stat updates for weapons and adds South Yemen nation for some upcoming scenarios.

Thanks to everyone in the community for continued support!
