When then entering the game for the second time after rebooting the system, the game logo appeared, but else everything remained pitchblack, and the tablet again stopped working. So again: rebooting was needed.

Sorry about that. There is an issue with the current version of the game with graphics settings that might not be supported on your device. This issue will be corrected for the next Android version. In the meantime all you need to do is delete the game and download it again (that will reset your graphics settings) and use the default graphics setting (don't select a higher one).

Let us know when the issue is solved, I maybe try again then. Since I noted that you did not reply to a guy named Daniel Maddog reporting the same issue on August 19th in the German Google Playstore, I just remind of that, he used an nVidia Shield Tablet, he said.

You said there also, in reply to somebody else, that a German version is being prepared. Nice! Not because I need it, but because it shows your commitment.

@Skybird, the Android version has been updated and that graphics issue should be resolved now. Let me know if you have any more problems with it.

Great news! Battle Fleet 2 has just been updated with Submarines and other cool features!

You can now add subs to your fleet and use anti-sub warfare to counter them. Destroyers and Frigates now carry sub-detection and depth charges, while recon flights can be used to spot subs that have gone deep.

Also, I've added destructible terrain so you can punch holes through the island, improved the campaign AI, added French, Polish & German translations and lots of other fixes. You can get the game from http://www.battlefleetgame.com.

Let me know what you think.

Hi just got the new upgrade and did battle with a sub. It was great
I found a possible bug. I had a American aircraft carrier fighting a cruiser when the cruiser ran outside of the playing grid. I tried to bomb the cruiser and my aiming sight would not go belong the dotted line. The cruiser never came back in and when I could get in range with my guns the cruiser sank me. This was the PC version . I have played the game on both Android and PC both side many times. This was the only strange problem that I had found . The game is fantastic. Keep up the great work -Lewie

I take it the cruiser was AI controlled, I think I know what could be causing that. Thanks for bringing it up, I'll investigate for the next update.

I've been getting lots of feedback since the sub update and lots of feature requests, especially an Atlantic campaign. To help expand the game and add all this cool new stuff, I've put together a funding campaign through Indiegogo where supporters can contribute to the game and actually vote on what features I add next. If you like the game, please help us spread the word by sharing the link with your friends:

Also, aside from all of the perks available for supporters, I'll be giving away prizes (gift cards, free copies of this and other games, etc..) to people who can refer the most supporters. To do that you'll need to use the share buttons at the top of the campaign page so your referrals are tracked

If you want to learn more about the game, there's a great Let's Play video from one of the curators on the game's front page.

Hey guys, I'm adding a new turret position to the game. One that is centerline on a ship and can fire port and starboard but not fore or aft (like a bowtie). Similar to the center gun and torpedo launchers on some WW2 destroyers, like this fletcher class:

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s3/sh...14733ffe1d14ed

Anyone have any idea what to call that turret position? The existing turret positions in the game are just called by the direction they face (fore, aft, port, starboard).
