Silent Depth 2: Pacific News

At ease Commanders,

We have a quick update for you today.

[h2]Improvements:[/h2]

• Destroyers won't fire their guns if they are below 30% hull points. Previously they would be dead in the water when in cripple state from a single torpedo. Now they will fight a bit more if hit only by one. Using their guns.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes:[/h2]

• Fixed: torpedoes collided with free cam
  
• Fixed: submarine won't dive in reverse
  

Until next time, thanks for feedback, keep up the patrols and let us know if you encounter anything weird out there.
