We are back with another dev log. This time, we will dive into several upgrades that are meant to expand selected simulation aspects of the game.
Our goal with these changes is to accommodate more playstyles, but without forcing them in any way. If such technical things are not your cup of tea, don’t worry as everything discussed here is going to be fully optional as it was always the case in UBOAT.
Torpedo calculators
We know that this is a #1 wish of a vital part of the community and thus we are very happy to announce that the next update will bring a very realistic simulation of TDC to the game!
Depth information rework
With the next update, the depth information will no longer be exactly known from the map to add some exciting uncertainty about it. The provided information will remain quite reliable near ports, since Kriegsmarine equipped U-boats with detailed maps for areas around them, but somewhat unprecise away from them.
Echosounder
Due to the rework explained above, the echosounder has become an essential device to use in the game, since it measures the seabed depth below the keel. For this reason, we’ve decided to give it more attention.
