Hello,

today is a rather tiny update, but we still have nice things to show off.

533 mm/52 Gerät 36 turret

This turret is a new largest turret to ever be added to the game, breaking the record previously held by the japanese 510mm turret. The 533mm german gun was alegedly built and test fired, although never mounted on a turret nor planned to be placed in a ship. Here it is in compared to the 380mm turret from Bismarck.

OTO Melara alternative skin

We added an alternative skin to the OTO Melara turret. This more modern build was designed to be harded to detect through radars.

45° degree rotation for cosmetics

You can now rotate cosmetics by 45° increments. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled on the settings menu in the building scene. This should bring much more freedom with placing cosmetics for complex ships.

Full changelogs

- there is now a disclaimer when trying to set alternative skins on non spawned objects

- added a kamikaze rush bot behaviour for use with spar torpedos

- added the german Gerat 533mm dual gun turret

- added the possibility to rotate cosmetics by 45 degrees, can be enabled in the build settings

- added an alternative skin for the OTO Melara 76mm turret

See you for next update !
