Dear Players,
Major Update 5 will be released on 17th March 2023 at 5pm UTC!
We are calling this major update the "Carrier Fleet Update" (multiple player controlled carriers per team!) but there is actually much more, actually several new big features! Please read more below...
Allied Carriers
Multiplayer games will support multiple carriers per team, allowing players to cooperate and coordinate between crews, and teams can have many times more fire power. Team communication is greatly improved with the new text chat option, including team and global channels.
HOTAS Support
We have made some big improvements to our controller support and bindings, and added support for HOTAS controllers. This is something that players have been asking about for a long time, and provides some very immersive piloting simulation gameplay!
Gimballed Air Support Cannon
We are adding a new cannon for aircraft... mounted on a gimbal! You can now provide rounds from the air from winged and rotor aircraft, in a similar way to the cannon on a real world helicopter gunship such as the Apache or Hind. Again, this has been a very popular player request and we are really excited to add it.
Gameplay Improvements
We are also implementing several other smaller player requested changes such as air-boss controls to hold take offs (to assist take offs during heavy waves), changes to torpedo behaviour, etc.
This major update will be launching on Friday 17th March so please do join us for the launch then!
We also have minor updates including fixes and improvements in the works and due for release soon.
Much love <3,
The Carrier Command Developers
