Minor Fixes and Tweaks

We Need Your Expertise!

With Atlantic being made right now we haven't forgotten about Pacific, in fact Atlantic's development only helps with Pacific updates. As a game where we don't keep charging to play it's hard to invest in all the updates we personally would like to see in Pacific, and as a team of three just know that Pacific means a lot to us.

Your insights and opinions matter, and today, we're embarking on a mission to expand our fleet of vessels within the game, not only that this is a call to people who feel that there is something missing in Pacific, please give us feedback! If it doesn't involve tearing the game up and starting again then we'll definitely consider it!

For those who feel the game is not "Finished" Just know if we had our way it would never be finished, if possible we'd like to keep updating the game as long as there is a community and ideas.

How to Cast Your Vote

Let us know in the comments which ship models resonate with you the most. Feel free to share your thoughts, preferences, and even historical anecdotes about your favourite vessels. Your feedback will help us shape the future of the game and ensure that Victory At Sea Pacific continues to provide you with an immersive and authentic naval warfare adventure.

Let's Set Sail Together

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for being part of our community. Your passion and dedication drive us to create the best possible gaming experience, and we can't wait to see which ships you'd like to command next.

Some of you may have noticed that your ships are sinking quicker if you have set up a MOD and have installed the new Pacific update. This is not a bug, but does require a slight tweak to your MODs.

In the damage calculations, for every point of damage that gets through armour, a weapon gets a chance at scoring a critical hit.

Before, the way it was using a critical hit chance multiplier that's lower than 1 meant that non-heavy weapons were almost never scoring a critical hit. Now that it's using that value more accurately, the very high damage values in the mod mean there's also hundreds of chances of getting a critical hit, each adding a ton of extra damage, and so blowing up a ship very quickly.

If you want to dial back the damage your mod should use a greatly reduced critical hit chance multiplier for weapons with greatly increased damage. Or reduced critical hit damage, though some critical hits also have effects like disabling ship systems, which would in that case still be much more common.

Hope that helps!

We have been listening to your ideas and opinions, (as always keep them coming) and we are proud to announce that the latest update sees brand new ships and planes as well as a change to the way the backend works that will help create more detailed MODs!

In order to play this now go into your library, right click on the name Victory At Sea Pacific and click Properties. under BETAS, select “First Look” there is no password required.

With Victory At Sea Atlantic moving forward we are not forgetting our older games, Atlantic has allowed us to change the way some of Pacific works (it has led us down new paths) as well as getting in some new ships and planes to use!

We have been listening to player feedback on allowing for greater number ranges when it comes to allowing for greater differences in ship types (Including weapons etc). We have been stuck on this for a while as any change would mean a major change to the backend and would break everyone's MODs. We have, thanks to Atlantic, come to an (obvious) solution! We needed to step back and look at how Atlantic worked to see a way to do it.

So now when players MOD, and where appropriate, you are no longer stuck using whole numbers. For instance rather than having a rating of 1 you can have 1.5, this should give the game much broader capabilities.

Not only that we have also added the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, County-class heavy cruiser, and Town-class light cruiser to the Royal Navy as well as Updated the model of the Illustrious-class carrier.

Planes have not been forgotten, we have added the Supermarine Spitfire and Supermarine Seafire fighters to the Royal Navy,

Please keep sending us your feedback as we will be tweaking and fixing beyond the bugs. We try to monitor all your conversations and suggestions but if you think that we are not addressing a feature please post on the community forum either in General Discussions or Bug Reports and let us know what specifically is causing you issues.

We sometimes miss specific things in long conversations and don’t tend to read comments on the announcements (as it’s hard to directly reply to people on there) so it’s good to have it’s own thread, we would rather have more than one thread on a subject than not have one at all.

Gameplay:

Added the following ships;

• Queen Elizabeth-class battleship
  
• County-class heavy cruiser
  
• Town-class light cruiser

Added the following planes;

• Supermarine Spitfire
  
• Supermarine Seafire

We have also updated the model of the Illustrious-class carrier.

• Docked aircraft carriers will launch aircraft in defence of the port at which they are docked.
  
• Changed the way numbers work in Pacific.

Mods:

• Weapon damage and armour piercing values, and armour values on ships and structures, are no longer restricted to whole numbers.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a case in which the UI could get stuck when splitting a fleet.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing saves using mods in single-fleet mode from loading correctly.
  
• Various small bug fixes

Set sail for a new realm of strategy and intrigue as we delve into a pivotal aspect of our upcoming game Victory At Sea Atlantic – Intel. As you navigate the tumultuous waters of the Atlantic during World War II, the power of espionage and intelligence gathering can turn the tide of battle in your favour.

Intel in Victory At Sea Atlantic isn't just a side note; it's a game-changer that astute commanders can harness to gain a significant strategic advantage. The element of surprise becomes a potent weapon on the high seas, and the information gleaned from enemy fleets, bases, and other installations can prove invaluable in battle.
Step into a world of intrigue as Victory At Sea Atlantic introduces a multifaceted Intelligence system that empowers you to gather vital information and undermine your adversaries. Here's a sneak peek into the mechanics:

Espionage: Send out reconnaissance missions to find enemy fleets and bases. Uncover their movements and intentions, allowing you to anticipate their actions and formulate effective counter-strategies. Deploy spies to infiltrate enemy territories. This yields comprehensive information about their resources, base defenses, and any fleets being built. This deep insight into their operations can be the key to victory.
Counter Espionage: The enemy does not rest while you deploy your spycraft, you need agents thwarting their every move or you will see structures destroyed and plans stolen.
Sabotage: One of the most impactful aspects of Intelligence is sabotage. By targeting enemy bases, ships, or even their technology research, you can disrupt their operations and severely weaken their capabilities. This translates into a tangible tactical advantage when the battle heats up.

While the potential of Intel is undeniable, it's imperative to tread with caution. Engaging in espionage activities can elevate your profile, making retaliation from your adversaries more likely. Striking a balance between the risk of exposure and the rewards of gathered intelligence is a delicate art that demands meticulous planning.


We believe in collaboration, and that's why we invite you, our dedicated community, to play a role in shaping the espionage mechanics of Victory At Sea Atlantic. We're eager to hear your thoughts on the current system and any ideas you might have to enrich the espionage experience. Together, we can refine this thrilling aspect of the game, making it a core element you'll thoroughly enjoy.

Engage with us on our Steam Community Page and Discord Page. Your insights matter, and we're excited to embark on this journey with you.


As you sail into the heart of World War II's Atlantic theatre, remember that information is the most potent weapon in your arsenal. The power of Intel in Victory At Sea Atlantic is your route to securing dominance on the high seas – and perhaps even altering the course of history.

Stay tuned for more blog posts delving into the intricate mechanics and features of Victory At Sea Atlantic. Until then, hoist your flags and get ready to outmanoeuvre your adversaries through cunning espionage!

Fair winds and crafty strategies,
