Strike Group Molniya Campaign

Strike Group Molniya is Sea Power’s second linear campaign, placing the player in command of a Soviet surface action group operating deep in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Across a series of connected scenarios, players must manage limited resources, evade increasingly aggressive NATO search efforts, and execute high-risk strikes against Allied naval logistics.

This campaign introduces new persistence mechanics that carry forward the weapon expenditure and damage of your force between missions, rewarding careful planning and tactical gameplay. This same restriction applies to enemy forces in the area as well, so destroying them in earlier missions will make later missions easier!

To play Strike Group Molniya, access it from the Campaigns tab of the main menu.

Strike Group Molniya campaign places you in charge of a small Soviet raider force with an unexpected capability at its disposal. See if you can win the campaign without taking any losses, as the new persistence mechanic means any lost ships will not be replaced in the next chapter!

Missile Kinematics

Missile Kinematics is part of the broader aircraft behavior and air combat rework, introducing a new physics-based flight model that more accurately simulates missile acceleration, energy loss, and maneuver performance. Missiles now behave more realistically over time and distance, making factors such as launch range, target aspect, and defensive maneuvering significantly more important. Together with the wider air combat updates, this results in more realistic engagements where real-world tactics and timing play a much larger role in outcomes.

KInematics makes air combat more realistic, but be aware that the max range stated in the Encyclopedia may not be possible given current conditions! Select a weapon and then hover over various enemy targets to see if they are truly in range. The game will calculate the real range dynamically.

New Terrain and Vegetation Updates

This release also includes phase 1 of the updated Terrain and Vegetation visuals project.

• Terrain visuals have been updated with a new data-driven model that improves definition of regions like forest, grass, cities, farmland, and snow.

• Improved blending and physically based lighting enhance clarity, color, and detail.

• Vegetation density and variety have been expanded with upgraded grass, flowers, forests, underwater foliage, tree lighting, rocks, and weather-driven animations.

Part of this initiative includes moving terrain/vegetation
