Simulation
Improved modeling of centralized fire control (gun targeting)

Improvements to Central Fire Control code.

Blast effects upon nearby lightly protected systems (including non-turreted guns and their crews, lights, masts)

Illumination shells, explicitly placed multiple searchlights per ship, and nighttime lighting effects on weapon targeting

Simulation of non-penetrating explosive effects upon armor and ship hull structures

Less abstraction in mine attack and damage control handling during campaign games

Improved damage control simulation

Additional weapon arcs

Ports and bases with limited support capability – forces may enter bases and ports “too small” for them, but small port will only be able to provide a fraction of the services per ship that a larger port or base can provide

Unique bow wake modeling based on the size and shape of the nose on each ship
Micellaneous Improvements

Many more ships and much larger battles

Improved use of available 3d sound emitters for more immersive sound

Improved 3d object management, allowing more objects without impacting frame rates

Improved micro-view map generation, particularly at high zoom levels

Higher resolution campaign map

Improvements to automatic updating feature

Windows Vista compliance and optimization
