SH5 patch #2

[java`s revenge]

Thank you Neal for the great news

[longam]

This is great news, thanks Neal.

[SubV]

They should fix the issues with non-working magnetic detonators asap.

And I don't see this in the list of 1.2 fixes...

Thanks Neal, good that some information finally reaches the public. Ubisoft should be more open and work on its announcement politics. That would really avoid a lot of speculation and disappointment.

Unfortunately I must say SHV was worth the first look already before patch two, and surely is even more interesting after the next patch. Pretty much like ACII or Settlers 7 may be great games. But there remains one "bug" that doesn't seem to be patched out. So patience remains the virtue of the time.

This game is no different in that regard.

One note about the mods, you'll need to uninstall ALL mods before applying the patch (you'll have time to do this, it won't auto-patch, just auto-download the patch). And as Heretic said, some might break. Just be patient for them to be fixed.

•Now waypoint tools are not accessible in bunker anymore

That's bad, what ever for? This causes two problems, firstly I can't just set waypoints and sail away anymore and second, combined with the lack of search patterns, a "auto Kiel canal" path seems dead in the water?

•Fixed torpedo doors
•Crewmen on deck change clothes during bad weather

I'm totally giddy about these two things. YAY!

what they mean is that you can no longer plot a course out while talking to the admiral (.ie the briefing map).

That little snafu got me on day 1 of release. I chose my mission and while still at the briefing map plotted my course out through the canal etc. Got in the ship... and the course was gone. This just removes the ability to do that so you dont waste your time.

My wish list, mods or patches:

1) Remove the ability to see ships wakes through high swells
2) Remove the ships reflections seen on the water for 15 km
3) Fix the hydrophone, we want to add contacts and hear contacts much closer, range is off
4) Bring sub nets and mines back, even land ordnance would be nice
5) The radar works like crap, the range is off as well
6) Enemy ship AI improved, increase depth charge damage radius
7) Fix ships steering into land and running aground
8) Better aircraft AI, more aggressive.
9) To be able to actually sit on the bottom of the ocean, dead stop.

Sit on the bottom of the sea, hear the fishies and play the gramophone! this is the submariner's life

Wonderful to hear that SHV will receive proper support.I think that this can be a fantastic sim with a little work and some great mods.

That's quite a fix list But there's something missing:
1 - target damage resetting when loading a game
2 - ships respawning when loading a game
3 - escorts resetting when loading a game

Sorry should have noted that I never play the campaign, simply active gameplay fixes.
