- Update 1.1.0.2 - Allied Patrol Fleets, Combat AI & Steam Community Items - 10 August 2026
Update 1.1.0.2 is now live. Two areas took the bulk of the work this time. On the campaign side, Canada and the USA now build their own patrol fleets and will put them to use rather than leaving them idle, so an Allied campaign should feel less like you are carrying the whole ocean alone. In combat, the AI has had a broad pass across anti-submarine warfare, submersible tactics, dive bombers and naval gunnery. Alongside those, there are stability fixes for large cities, a number of smaller corrections, and several improvements for modders - including the ability to update existing Steam Workshop mods. Steam Community Items Victory At Sea Atlantic now has a full set of Steam Community items. Play the game and you will start earning trading cards, which can be crafted into badges, and which unlock emoticons and profile backgrounds along the way. Cards you do not need can be traded or sold…
