Changelog for Patch 1.1.5 (added 19 November 2018):

* Here’s the latest patch based on community feedback.

* Please keep sending us your feedback as we will be tweaking and fixing beyond the bugs. We try to monitor all your conversations and suggestions but if you think that we are not addressing a feature please post on the GOG Victory At Sea Pacific forum and let us know what specifically is causing you issues. We sometimes miss specific things in long conversations so it’s good to have it’s own thread and we would rather have more than one thread on a subject than not have one at all.

Gameplay:
* Improved navigation for bridge-level fleet movement, so fleets can use smaller channels between landmasses.
* Torpedo tubes on surface ships may use the single-shot mode.
* Narrowing the torpedo spread to single-shot mode does not need such a long button press, and a thin firing arc indicator is still displayed in that mode.
* Added a key to pause time.
* Camera tilt and rotation keys are now rebindable.

Bug fixes:
* Ships are returned to their fleet upon loading a save, if they had been saved in the “shadow realm” state.
* Sinking ships cannot be added back into a fleet by dragging their squadron list elements around.
* A carrier’s wind indicator is hidden if the carrier is docked.
* Fixed a potential game lockup when unloading terrain.
* Fixed saving and loading of the fog of war state.
* Fixed the fleet screen placing ship icons incorrectly when viewing a large fleet.
* Fixed a case of supply convoys “teleporting” a great distance when entering into combat.
* Fixed a case of dive-bombers not diving if merged into a squadron with a different ordered altitude.

UI:
* Flight markers on the bridge display their navy’s name, instead of the faction’s name.
* Updated Chinese localisation, and fixed some location names.

Changelog for Patch 1.2.3 (added 28 January 2019):

Gameplay:
* Fighter AI gives intercepting flights with powerful bombs or torpedoes a higher priority.

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a bug causing spotter aircraft to instantly land when launched.
* Enemy ships out of line of sight are consistently visible when spotted via radar, or by them firing their guns.
* All player convoys are now controllable after loading saves of older campaigns.
* Convoys navigating the enemy-controlled Philippines no longer get themselves stuck.
* Upgrade costs are read correctly from mods, and mod creation doesn't output incorrect projectile speeds.


Note:
Changelogs for patches/updates between 1.1.5 and 1.2.3, i.e. for 1.2 - 1.2.2, have been posted by the devs as individual threads in this forum.

Update 1.14.1 - New ships and planes, better numbers for MODs

We have been listening to your ideas and opinions, (as always keep them coming) and we are proud to announce that the latest update sees brand new ships and planes as well as a change to the way the backend works that will help create more detailed MODs!

In order to play this now go into your library, right click on the name Victory At Sea Pacific and click Properties. under BETAS, select “First Look” there is no password required.

With Victory At Sea Atlantic moving forward we are not forgetting our older games, Atlantic has allowed us to change the way some of Pacific works (it has led us down new paths) as well as getting in some new ships and planes to use!

We have been listening to player feedback on allowing for greater number ranges when it comes to allowing for greater differences in ship types (Including weapons etc). We have been stuck on this for a while as any change would mean a major change to the backend and would break everyone's MODs. We have, thanks to Atlantic, come to an (obvious) solution! We needed to step back and look at how Atlantic worked to see a way to do it.

So now when players MOD, and where appropriate, you are no longer stuck using whole numbers. For instance rather than having a rating of 1 you can have 1.5, this should give the game much broader capabilities.

Not only that we have also added the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, County-class heavy cruiser, and Town-class light cruiser to the Royal Navy as well as Updated the model of the Illustrious-class carrier.

Planes have not been forgotten, we have added the Supermarine Spitfire and Supermarine Seafire fighters to the Royal Navy,

Please keep sending us your feedback as we will be tweaking and fixing beyond the bugs. We try to monitor all your conversations and suggestions but if you think that we are not addressing a feature please post on the community forum either in General Discussions or Bug Reports and let us know what specifically is causing you issues.

We sometimes miss specific things in long conversations and don’t tend to read comments on the announcements (as it’s hard to directly reply to people on there) so it’s good to have it’s own thread, we would rather have more than one thread on a subject than not have one at all.
