Patch History
================================================================
V1.01   (Released to the mass audience)
------
Use realistic turn rates.  Rudder will be set to 10 degrees for ordered course 
changes unless ordered via the rudder indicator.
Turn rate (in degrees per second) will be calculated using rudder angle
times speed in kts times a constant (0.022).

Use realistic torpedo reload times.  Time to load from an empty tube will be 
8 minutes.  Time to unload a tube will be 10 minutes.

Fire control display of the torpedo uses a ‘blue’ acoustic cone until the torpedo 
goes active at which point the cone is drawn as ‘red’.


V1.02   (Never released to the mass audience)
------
Fixes a problem in the towed array.  
Unable to designate new contacts from broadband after 4 trackers assigned.  


v1.03
------
skipped


V1.04	(Never released to the mass audience)
------
This patch includes all previous patches including the realism patch.

The random placement of objects in scenarios, which was believed to be 
fixed by the previous patch, is now actually fixed.  This makes 
the scenarios more "dynamic".

The second issue, a problem running on nVidia RIVA based video boards 
(with hardware acceleration on), is now fixed.  The game should be fully functional 
on such platforms.


V1.05   (Intended for release to the public)
------
This patch includes all previous patches including the realism patch.

Players with this patch will only be able to multiplayer against other people with
the patch.  Players without the patch will not appear in the connection screen.
