Early Access 1.3.0.0 Major Update - Battleship and more

22 July - Aaron

New Enemy: The Battleship, heavily armed and armoured.

Battleship has a long range Hedgehog Mortar that fires between 1500m and 3000m, so get in close.
Battleship can fire torpedoes at you from its broadside, dive quickly as torpedos can not track you below periscope depth (~15m).
Battleship deck guns do a lot of damage, recommended not to surface.
Battleship takes approximately 10 torpedos to kill.
Added 2 new missions featuring the Battleship.
Extended random missions to occasionally spawn Battleships.

Completely Reworked Enemy Detection Model.

Pulsing circles on the map show the area where enemies can detect you.
Enemies inside this area will be able to see or hear you and know your location.
The area is large when you’re surfaced, larger still if the periscope is fully extended.
The following items affect the detection area when submerged: Submarine Speed, Submarine Depth and Periscope height above water
Firing a torpedo or the deck gun will spike your detection area for a short period of time.
Enemy sonar pulses are now displayed on the map as a translucent blue wave. If you can hear the sonar ping, the enemy has detected you.

Official Oculus support and locomotion option for players without Roomscale

We’ve added an unobtrusive locomotion mechanic where you can use the Vive track pad or Oculus Joystick to make small adjustments to your location and orientation inside the submarine. You can turn this on/off from the settings menu.
Left control will let you do a small hop, forward, back, left and right.
Right control will rotate you 90 degrees.
Grip button crouches.

Misc.

Improved enemy ships physics simulation.
Improved AI steering and engine control.
Added settings to the main menu that allow players to change locomotion type.
Replaced enemy ship alarm with automatic incoming torpedo alarm.
Reduced destroyer deck gun damage.
Reduced damage of AA flak gun against enemy ships and forts.
Bug fixes.

10 torpedoes feels like too many, a spread of 2-3 from bow to stern could sink a carrier (during WW2). I guess if this one-man sub can take a beating so should a boss-like battleship, but 10!?

Yeah what Robin said that thing is damn near impossible to sink how do you get close enough to do it?

Robin des mers 23 Jul @ 5:29am

is it really possible to destroy battleship?
i need to be at 1500m for launch torpedoes and he fire mortar and sunk me at1500m.

Wow, Hedgehog? That's a pretty obscure piece of WW2 tech that is rarely modeled in a sub game. Very nice!
