Fleet:

A bug while using the keyboard for the in-game chat system in Naval Battles caused vessels to react to text has been fixed.

US 40 mm Bofors cannons have been replaced by British models on the following vessels: Class Dark (both boats) Class Brave Battle (D14)

IJN Mutsuki - The maximum amount of torpedoes has been changed from 10 to 12.

- The maximum amount of torpedoes has been changed from 10 to 12. The maximum amount of ammunition for the 2pdr QF Mk.IIc autocannon on the Fairmile C and Fairmile C (332) boats have been fixed.

and boats have been fixed. HE shell icons, which displayed incorrect armour piercing values, have been fixed.

The type and weight of explosive mass and initial speed for Japanese 100-203 mm shells have been fixed.

Shell related errors have been fixed for the following ships:

IJN Kuma - 140 mm type 2 SAP semi-armour piercing shell has been added for research.

- 140 mm type 2 SAP semi-armour piercing shell has been added for research. IJN Agano - 152 mm Type 4 SAP shell has been fixed. 152 mm Type 4 HE researchable shell with base fuse has been removed. 152 mm type 4 SAP semi-armour piercing shell has been added instead.

- 152 mm Type 4 SAP shell has been fixed. 152 mm Type 4 HE researchable shell with base fuse has been removed. 152 mm type 4 SAP semi-armour piercing shell has been added instead. Research points and in currency for removed modifications have been returned to those who purchased them.

The type and weight of the explosive mass for the Japanese 610 mm Type 93 torpedo have been fixed.

The name of the 76 mm OTO-Melara autocannon on the German Type 143 (Albatros) boat have been fixed, and the time it takes for the cannon to overheat has been increased.

boat have been fixed, and the time it takes for the cannon to overheat has been increased. Ya-5M - The order, usage display, and reloading of rockets have been fixed.

- The order, usage display, and reloading of rockets have been fixed. Pr.1204 Late - The name of the 76 mm D-56 cannon has been changed to the D-56TS cannon. A Cannon stabiliser has been added.

- The name of the 76 mm D-56 cannon has been changed to the D-56TS cannon. A Cannon stabiliser has been added. A bug with “black” ammunition displayed in main calibre magazines on cruisers and destroyers has been fixed. If the main calibre ammunition Magazine is destroyed, it will now explode.

The damage models of cruisers and destroyers have been refined:

Overestimated bulkhead and deck thicknesses have been fixed;

Side thicknesses have been increased on many destroyers up to 23 mm, which no longer allows many of the 88-127 mm shells to penetrate the ship enough to explode.

Several ship modules such as pumps, fuel tanks, cisterns, transmission shafts, torpedo launchers and depth bomb launchers will no longer easily stop medium to large calibre armour-piercing shells. Now, with enough power, these shells will be able to punch through them.

Transmission shafts, propellers and rudder feathers are now less susceptible to damage from shrapnel and explosions. Direct hits to these modules are guaranteed to damage or disable them.

Fuel cisterns are now able to better absorb splinters, while allowing the armour-piercing shells to penetrate them completely if the shell has enough power to pass through the cistern.

On ships with coal-powered boilers (Class Isles, Class Flower, SGB (S304)) their coal pits will now better absorb kinetic damage. It will be more difficult for armour-piercing shells to pass through them completely, but it may give off a lot of secondary fragments.
