Will there be a patch 1.4?

Hi everyone

Since patch 1.3 came out, various issues have been uncovered and some issues have been found not be fixed. That's fine, that's how patches work in real life for the moment (so please, no rant in this thread on (the lack of) testing at UBI or complaining how it all went wrong and how you'll never buy a UBI game again).

That said, I believe (and that's my personal opinion) that an additional patch is required to fix some of the issues that seemingly cannot be modded. I would at least nominate:
- Switch for Contact/Contact Influence setting not working (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118393)
- Subs at flank speed crash dive slower than subs that crash dive at 0 speed (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118833)
- Making the "imperial measures" option truely imperial (i.e. deckgun range in yards instead of meters, the radar and sonar stations in yards)
- Fixing the 'ghost ship' issue: ships respawn quickly after you sank them and when you sink them again, you do not get the credit, but you have used up your torpedos
- A change request: Being in friendly territory, close to your base, running out of fuel and...well, and then never getting home as you can't ask for a tow (a tow should come with a serious penalty of course).
- Ironing out some (serious) graphic glitches regarding sailors becoming transparent when Volumetric Fog is enabled and the sun shining through metal
- Special missions, such as spy insertion, are still repeated even with the same destination.
- With early war conning towers, you cannot use the AA gun when having to fire to port or starboard. The metal plating of the conning tower blocks the view.
- Damage reports are not accurate. You will receive messages that the pressure hull is repaired but when you dive you sink like a brick. Same for engine repairs. You receive the message but when you touch the throttle, nothing happens.(http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=119742)

I've seen other issues as well, but those that I have seen myself can be/have been modded away.

Anybody have any news on whether there will be a new patch and what issues will be fixed?

thanx
