Big changes with the new update?
 

I don't know if it is just because I have progressed further in the game (currently at June 1943) or because of the new patch, but those pesky Germans are kicking my butt now. Single torpedo hit to my Capital Ship and down she goes. Single v-bomb to my carrier and bloop, to the bottom! German subs have air superiority evidently, because almost every encounter begins with me losing a DD to a bombing run. After combing the seas with three Capital Ships looking for German BBs, I finally found the Tirpiz...after of course, all three of mine were sunk to torpedoes. Now I see German BBs every turn practically. Ugh! At least it's challenging. :arrgh!:

welcome aboard!
 

The damage model now scuttles ships (player and AI) in combat which is causing ships (especially the bigger capital ones) to go down a bit easier. This change will be reverted back to how it was in the next update as many folks prefer the original system.
