Carrier Command 2 News

Dear Players,

Some members of the Grim Reapers Naval Ops community kindly gave their time to compiling detailed rebalance and requested change feedback. As always, we are reviewing player feedback (particularly that submitted via the issue tracker!) and thought to implement several of the requested changes.

Thankyou to the Grim Reapers and all the players who have given their feedback and helped make the game better. The naval simulation community is a tight group and a great set of people, and its a real pleasure to be making one of your games.

We are buffing a bunch of stuff that was difficult to utilize. The sonic pulse countermeasure system has range extended to be 4x larger. External fuel tanks are now much larger. Ship fuel capacity is now much larger. CIWS ammo capacity is up. Stuff like that.

We are also doing some minor rebalances to what stuff is included in a starting load out. There are many changes here which would require a huge spreadsheet to explain, so if this is of interest, jump into a game and see what is included in your loadout of choice.

Missiles are now more dangerous with a larger explosive radius and higher velocity, but AA missiles are also easier to avoid with the tracking warning being displayed much earlier, giving much more chance to react.

Mules are now more versitile as they can now rearm each other as well as helicopters, making for a useful mobile helicopter refuelling base if this is required. This change, alongside the increased external fuel capacity, makes helicopters much more versatile and specialist.

Please check out the patch notes below and let us know your feedback on these new changes!

A quick shout out to an upcoming game - Sea Power isn't a game by us (Geometa) but is also published by Microprose and is a game I am personally looking forward to very much.

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers

Dear Commanders,

Today we release a new minor update!

This update contains several VR fixes, including an important fix for aircraft controls.

We have also added the ability for dedicated servers to load save games, in order that servers can play custom senarios or specific island configurations, which is a request from the community.

We have also been checking out the online CC2 community. The Tricky gaming community host regular multiplayer events, with 4 teams battling it out with a single life, over games usually lasting 2 or 3 hours. I have joined in some of the games anonymously, and the community are very kind and welcoming. I can thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in getting into PvP.

Many of the players can also be found in the Grim Reapers community, who regularly play and are involved in modding. This is another great community with brilliant Youtube content and a lot of CC2 experience.

Please see the patch notes below for details.

We look forward to your thoughts and feedback on this new update!

Much love
