Deep Water Studio and PlayWay have announced that UBOAT, a World War II submarine simulation game has left Early Access and is now available for download on Steam. Watch the launch trailer HERE.

UBOAT is a simulator of a submarine from WWII era, yet different than all you have seen so far. It is a survival sandbox with crew management mechanics while its primary theme is life of German sailors. The boat is their home, but it can become their grave at any time.

In UBOAT you control the crew in order to control the boat. You look after their physical and mental health, because if the sailors are hungry, tired and their spirit is low, there’s no chance of winning even a skirmish.

Campaign Series: Vietnam’s latest update is a substantial one. It has added six new scenarios and new orders of battle, alongside numerous bugfixes and improvements. You can download the update directly from this link.

Starting off with new missions. The game now features six entirely new scenarios that cover the Tet Offensive. Tet was a major north Vietnamese offensive in 1968 that caught the south Vietnamese government and their U.S. allies by surprise. While it failed to produce a mass uprising like the north Vietnamese wanted, the shock of it’s scale and complexity stunned the western world. The battles during Tet were some of the most bloody and brutal of the war, and now you can war game out six of them.

To modders and scenario designers we have also expanded the orders of battle. Unit OOB’s have been extended to 1967-1985. If you want to create custom scenarios about the 1972 Easter Offensive or the final decisive 1975 Spring Offensive, those tools are now at your disposal.

The full changelog is posted HERE.

Croteam and 2×2 Games announce new Berlin DLC is expected in Q4 of this year to add new content to Unity of Command II, the World War II strategy sequel. There’s no trailer for this yet, but its Steam Listing is live with screenshots and details. This promises 32 scenarios, including a Soviet Victory in the East campaign and a seven scenario Axis mini-campaign depicting the last-ditch offensive in Hungary and Romania in 1945 with an alt-history branch. Here’s more:

The summer of 1944 saw the massive Operation Bagration, a surprise attack that shattered German Army Group Center. By the fall, Soviet forces were on the offensive all along the Eastern Front, setting the stage for the final push into Germany in 1945. By February, the Soviets stood on the Oder River, just east of Berlin.

The final assault on Berlin began in mid-April. Soviet troops encircled the city, battling their way through the streets in fierce close-quarters combat. Hitler committed suicide on April 30th, and Berlin fell on May 2nd, marking the fall of Nazi Germany.

Establish Your Dynasty

Start a family tree to ensure your empire stands the test of time with the new Dynasty system. Reign over the tides of mortality and succession, navigating strategic marriages, heroic deaths on the battlefield, assassinations, and the looming mortality of old age to leave behind a legacy that will last the ages.

Dominate The Battlefield

Wage war with over 150 new and reworked units including cavalry, camel riders and faction specific units such as the elite Guards of Troy. Challenge yourself with new battle mechanics such as the optional Lethality modifier which makes battles more realistic by making combat much more deadly.

Slitherine Games has released the Scramble: Battle of Britain – Flight School, Episode #7 video.

Flight school is back with another advanced topic today, designed to help Scramble pilots master their skills and excel in dogfighting.

Watch Flight School, Episode #7 “Energy Fighting” video HERE.

Airspeed and Aerodynamic Control

Since the middle of the First World War, fighter aircraft have employed guns fixed to their airframes, and a pilot must orient their entire aircraft to bring these guns to bear on a target. Aircraft generally orient themselves through aerodynamic control – the manipulation of the surfaces or shape of a body as air moves around it to inspire forces and moments to act on that body. We define the rate and quality of this air moving around a body as “airspeed” and, regardless of the aerodynamic design of an aircraft or the qualities of the air moving around it, the laws of physics demand that some energy be transferred between aircraft and air, that the energy differential between them be lessened, and thus that every instance of aerodynamic control and every resulting maneuver incur a cost in energy that is mostly paid through airspeed.
