changedThis update is bringing significant improvements to game frame rate in large battles and co-op. Crew should also be smarter when it comes to loading guns. Longlasting audio cutoff issues present in large battles have finally been solved.
changedShips with destroyer-sized guns larger will now fire at longer ranges and fire with tighter salvo patterns. Innate gun accuracy is reduced to compensate and make for a more natural spread. - Loader tasks are now evaluated based on how much ammo exists in a gun rather than how much the gun needs to be fully supplied. - Removed water deflection from player 5-inch shell. - Significant optimizations to simulation, audio, and networking. - Alternate VFX rendering setup to render things like flak puffs efficiently. - Improved networked crew synchronization rate. - Including outside of combat, crew now run when there is a gun that needs more than a box of ammo to be filled up in reserve ammo. - Changes to gun aiming threshold calculation to stop them from firing at targets prematurely. - Subtle turn rate nerfs to Oerlikon guns. - Fixes to player being visible upon starting engagements with crafts that can launch planes. - Fixed audio cutoff issues in heated battles. - Fixed crew not turning to the source of item pickup. - Fixed an issue preventing gunners from moving on to other enemy weapons on a target when one is destroyed while the target is still locked. - Fixed Elco 80' front meatchopper stand shape.
