- All water streaming are now totally invisible underwater
- All water particules have been completely re-worked and normalized. Some more added
- Surface the boat button added on order bar
- All countries sides has been revised and corrected according to historical dates. Think twice before hitting the red button...(neutrals or even few friends - so called - can sail in convoys)
- Radio messages has been added for the countries side evolutions along the war.
- New quick identification tab in Help (F1) for all the ships names in letters (KS-M-FM etc) with length/draft/tonnage.
- Type IX A/B/C have now the right torpedoes number (22) and IXD2 now 24 torpedoes. You have to fill up external loads in bunker now for those types.

All issues related to these should be solved.

- New transfer page (without the Japan map & flags)
- Training flotillas campaigns corrections
- New career for U-Flak VIIC U-Boats starting May 1943 to November 1943 as an add-on mod. Goal is to down as many planes as possible but staying alive...
- British Light Cruiser Dorsetshire London and Kent have their image now in ID Book
- Planes armor level has been adjusted
- Air strike probabilities has been adjusted (lowered to lighten the CPU)
Few words about the new U-Flak career:
U-Flak Career for first time in any Silent Hunter serie !
First i want to thanks Propbeanie and S7rikeback because without their work here, this career would have never happened.
As it was in real, the goal is to down as many planes as possible...but survive!
Up to you to dive and try to escape detection, or stay surfaced battle stations on.
Planes are tough in 1943, and Allies air coverage greater than ever...kind of nightmare for all Kaleuns.
In any ways you will take damages. Don’t dream on. Up to you to manage the repairs! Surfaced or not...
Depth can save you...or kill you! Depends the damages.
This is more than ever a patience game. Your nerves will be hard tested believe me.
None of the U-Flak boats sent came back...the others in base were backed-up to normal U-Boats...
Good luck!
Tips:
- Try to play low TC, even less when damaged!
- As soon as a radar detection, or you dive, or you full speed heading for perpendicular line to the planes approach. Don’t give them your full length shape!
- Stay full speed for the whole attack.
- Always battle station on for attacks.
- Give your AA guns the best crew you can
- When damaged, give the best crew health to the damaged compartment.
- Prey for your bulkheads resistance...first thing to repair, when it’s possible.
- They detect you at night! Be aware...
- Don’t underestimate the planes rockets! They often miss, but...not always!
- Some bombs can be devastating even at 30m depth...be aware...
