2024.1 (Preview 12)

Dear captains,

There is a new patch ready for 2024.1 beta.

Localization:
- Czech localization update by Spid3rCZ.
- Russian localization update by Hard.
- Ukrainian localization update by vovanvoks.
- Portuguese localization update by AlexShuma.
- Spanish localization update by Miguel Haakon.
- Italian localization update by BeeTLe BeTHLeHeM.
- German localization update by Ruby.

Missions:
- Fix: Ships scuttled with the Ship Engineer skill weren't counted towards GRT progress in missions and campaign objectives.
- Fix: The objective about finding a hut on the Hopen Island was sometimes not progressing when looking at the hut through binoculars / UZO / periscope.
- Fix: The objective about finding the first hut on Hopen Island is no longer marked with a green dot, to avoid confusion that it's located at its location.

Torpedo fire systems:
- Officers are now much more accurate at estimating AOB.
- Fix: On Type IID it wasn't possible to set UZO as the active bearing transmitter on torpedo fire control boxes (the option for it was missing).
- Fix: Corrected typo on "Lagenwinkel" label on TDC and "Schuß" label on the launch lever.

UI:
- Added a new loading hint explaining that it's not possible to charge batteries at maximum speed.
- Fix: Radio stations sometimes weren't listed on the radioman's menu, even though there was an information that they should be available.
- Fix: Chronometer tool wasn't continuing to measure time after it was hidden.
- Fix: It wasn't possible to open torpedo launchers UI from TDC UI, the button was always disabled.

Crew:
- Fix (regression): After the last fix for sailors playing lying on bed animation after selecting them for an external mission, officers started to have a similar problem.

Type II:
- Added a new depth meter in the control room. We will also update the dial in the UI soon.
- Fix: New dial textures on the electric engines.

Type VIIB:
- Fix: It was possible to move through a net cutter on Type VIIB U-boats.

World:
- Fix: Kiel canal is now deeper and it should be possible to traverse it.
- Fix: Kiel canal is now called with its historic name, Kaiser Wilhelm Canal.

General:
- Fix: If an autosave was made, while Uboatopedia was open, the time was permanently slowed down after this save was loaded.
- Fix: Bearing displayed in the hydrophone UI is now within range of 0 to 360 degrees instead of -180 to -180 degrees, to match the scale present on the device.
- Fix: Indicator lights on various devices could be in an incorrect initial state after loading a saved game state.
- Fix: Indicator lights weren't changing its state during a pause.

Yours,
DWS
