Changes in “Patrol Fighters” and “Fighter” consumables:
- The detectability range of all fighters now matches their spotting range and is equal to 18 km.
This change will eliminate cases where a ship could be detected by enemy fighters after a main battery shot was fired, while the fighters themselves remained undetected. In addition, the action zone of fighters will now be visible more consistently on the minimap, which will allow players to better plan their movements in battle.
