added07/30/2026New scenario: "Kantai Kessen". Protect a relief convoy on its way to Midway as the Japanese navy tries to interdict it and provoke a decisive engagement with your carriers. Enterprise, Hornet, Yorktown and Saratoga are making a pincer around the enemy fleet - will it hold long enough? Note: the relief force in Midway is the first occurrence of an allied non-player naval unit in a scenario. You cannot change its course or speed for now, so do try to sweep ahead of it. It can also set as a target to be covered with CAP from your carriers.
added07/30/2026Japanese seaplanes can now carry bombs (Jake, Pete) and torpedoes (Mavis, Emily) when allowed to strike. Beware.

fixed07/30/2026Fixed several AI and GUI bugs, along with a few new crashes.
