I wonder, do blacklists automatically remove permamently banned accounts (like if you only block someone because of hacking and such)? Since if the system doesn’t, 300 blockable accounts may not be enough if one plays the game for a very long time.

Is it intentional for this function to not be present in the favourite achievements list?

10

the torpedo speed itself is still given in wrong values? (given in km/h but should be meter per second divided by 10) - no torpedo of ww2 and later has a speed of 230 km/h or higher…

You’re likely looking at the Arcade numbers, many things in arcade mode are enhanced by quite a lot for the sake of gameplay.

yes - but this numbers are clearly wrong - even in arcade

Do people even blacklist that much? pretty sure i got that on a nice zero

14

Do you mean that the torpedo speed isn’t that fast in the game in arcade mode?

15

I think he means the number is just being displayed wrong depending on the values you select for measurement units in options.

I don’t think there is a Meters per Second option for speed?

Did you guys fix the aiming issue in Naval where shots were just going right into the sea or were fired straight into islands instead of at the lock on target?
