Ieri è stata rilasciata la versione 1.12 del gioco. In fondo a questo post troverete i cambiamenti portati dall'aggiornamento che, inoltre, è stato accompagnato dall'uscita di una nuova estensione del gioco. Dopo Northern Inferno, ambientato negli anni '70 nel Nord Atlantico, ora è la volta di Chains of War, che racconta di una guerra ambientata nel 2018 sul fronte asiatico. Ecco il link per il trailer: ed il link per l'acquisto dell'estensione del gioco: http://www.matrixgames.com/products/product.asp?gid=693 Come potete vedere, la versione 1.12 comprende dei cambiamenti radicali, come il fatto che gli aerei ora possono subire danni senza per forza essere abbattuti al primo colpo. Purtroppo, i cambiamenti maggiori, per essere utilizzati, richiedono l'acquisto di Chains of War (furbata questa, da parte dei programmatori). Command v1.12 Changelog GENERAL ------------------------------ * Major new feature: Communications disruption. (Requires Chains of War) * Major new feature: Aircraft damage. (Requires Chains of War) * Major new feature: Cargo / landing / airdrop operations. (Requires Chains of War) * Major new weapon types: - Enhanced High-Energy Lasers (HELs) (Requires Chains of War) - Railguns & High-velocity Projectiles (HVPs) (Requires Chains of War) - Tactical electromagntic pulse (EMP) weapons(Requires Chains of War) All new major features are optional (enabled per-scenario, just like the pre-existing features "Detailed gunfire control" and "Unlimited base munitions"), and available for use only when the Chains Of War license is present. Attempting to load a scenario with any of the new features without having the corresponding license results in a block, with a window shown that informs the player of the unlicensed features and how they can be unlocked/enabled. * Numerous performance improvements SIMULATION ---------------------- * Addition to passive sonar model: Target masking. When the sub/ship being detected is within X degrees bearing (relative to the sonar sensor) of another one, the (comparatively) louder one may prevent the other(s) from being detected. (X = a given angular difference referred to as the "bearing gate". This value decreases in more modern sonar sets (as low as 4 degrees) and increases in older ones (as high as 20 deg). To fool a modern passive sonar by masking under another vessel on the same bearing, you need to get very close to the other unit angularly). * Significant improvements to automatic flight plan generator * Misc tweaks to tanker & bingo calculations * Mine navigation updates USER INTERFACE ----------------------------------------- * Two significant tweaks on time acceleration: - An extra time accel setting, "2x", has been added. - The sim resolution (ie. pulse timeslice) is now 0.1 sec not only when running at 1-1, but also at 2x and 5x accel. The practical result should be that the player gets a smoother "acceleration curve" when moving from 1x to 2x and 5x time compression. * Improved support for 4K/UHD screens (no longer necessary to temporarily downscale to 1080p). * UI tweak: Display "No-Cav" on Unit Status panel for vessel that is reducing speed to avoid cavitation * If the scenario save path does not "sit under" the \Scenarios folder, the game forcefully defaults to the latter * Fix for Steam workshop issues SCENARIO EDITOR: ---------------------------------------- * Lua: Fix manual/desired speed on SetUnit() * Lua: Enhance EndScenario trigger/action * Lua: Enhanced "Unit Detected" event trigger MISC.
