Patch #8 Adds New Skirmish Mission "Guarding the Strait"
Source: Steam Community
High Command has issued new orders. Patch #8 introduces a free skirmish mission, "Guarding the Strait," set in the Strait of Gibraltar. Operators must identify incoming vessels, separate friend from foe, and destroy hostile ships before they break through. The mission is designed to be tense and unforgiving, with little room for error.
This update also addresses a range of issues reported since launch:
- Fixed requisition credits resetting when entering some missions.
- Corrected incorrect newspaper titles and subtitles after skirmish missions.
- Fixed an issue where clicking the campaign map mid-mission did not exit the mission.
- Shells fired before an emergency move now properly trigger the counter-battery timer.
- Resolved a rare spawn error in "Rock of Gibraltar" that could place the player inland.
- Adjusted multiple medal requirements that were too high or impossible to achieve at gold rank.
- Incendiary fires and PH's shots in mission 13 no longer affect accuracy stats or count as friendly fire for medals.
This is the first free mission in the next phase of the roadmap, which focuses on additional skirmish modes. More missions are planned, with the next expected by the end of October 2026. Bug fixes and improvements will continue alongside new content.
