Set sail for a new realm of strategy and intrigue as we delve into a pivotal aspect of our upcoming game Victory At Sea Atlantic – Intel. As you navigate the tumultuous waters of the Atlantic during World War II, the power of espionage and intelligence gathering can turn the tide of battle in your favour.
The Subtle Power of Intel, Espionage, and Sabotage
Intel in Victory At Sea Atlantic isn't just a side note; it's a game-changer that astute commanders can harness to gain a significant strategic advantage. The element of surprise becomes a potent weapon on the high seas, and the information gleaned from enemy fleets, bases, and other installations can prove invaluable in battle.
Intelligence Features
Step into a world of intrigue as Victory At Sea Atlantic introduces a multifaceted Intelligence system that empowers you to gather vital information and undermine your adversaries. Here's a sneak peek into the mechanics:
Espionage: Send out reconnaissance missions to find enemy fleets and bases. Uncover their movements and intentions, allowing you to anticipate their actions and formulate effective counter-strategies. Deploy spies to infiltrate enemy territories. This yields comprehensive information about their resources, base defenses, and any fleets being built. This deep insight into their operations can be the key to victory. Counter Espionage: The enemy does not rest while you deploy your spycraft, you need agents thwarting their every move or you will see structures destroyed and plans stolen. Sabotage: One of the most impactful aspects of Intelligence is sabotage. By targeting enemy bases, ships, or even their technology research, you can disrupt their operations and severely weaken their capabilities. This translates into a tangible tactical advantage when the battle heats up.
While the potential of Intel is undeniable, it's imperative to tread with caution. Engaging in espionage activities can elevate your profile, making retaliation from your adversaries more likely. Striking a balance between the risk of exposure and the rewards of gathered intelligence is a delicate art that demands meticulous planning.
Community Involvement in Shaping Intel
We believe in collaboration, and that's why we invite you, our dedicated community, to play a role in shaping the espionage mechanics of Victory At Sea Atlantic. We're eager to hear your thoughts on the current system and any ideas you might have to enrich the espionage experience. Together, we can refine this thrilling aspect of the game, making it a core element you'll thoroughly enjoy.
Join the Conversation
Engage with us on our Steam Community Page and Discord Page. Your insights matter, and we're excited to embark on this journey with you.
Prepare for the Ultimate Subterfuge
As you sail into the heart of World War II's Atlantic theatre, remember that information is the most potent weapon in your arsenal. The power of Intel in Victory At Sea Atlantic is your route to securing dominance on the high seas – and perhaps even altering the course of history.
Stay tuned for more blog posts delving into the intricate mechanics and features of Victory At Sea Atlantic. Until then, hoist your flags and get ready to outmanoeuvre your adversaries through cunning espionage!

Our next game - Victory At Sea Ironclad - has been announced today, and you can check it out here. Thanks so much for the support so far everyone. It's been a long time since the original, but we have been listening and we won't stop listening.
Since releasing Victory At Sea Pacific we have been constantly asked whether there would be a follow up. Different eras and age of sail come up a lot as a request. Set during the American Civil War, Victory At Sea Ironclad gives the player opportunities to not only sail but take control of huge paddle steamers, you can even build and command the fearsome Ironclads of the title. The American Civil War was a time of great military innovation, from experimental tactics to technology. It was a new kind of warfare and was an exciting era to try next. It seemed fitting considering it spanned sailing ships and lots of weird and wonderful vessels!
If you want to know more we will be showing the game off with the creators of the original Tabletop franchise today at 5:00 PM GMT and 9:00 AM PDT Joint the stream at the link below https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/group/38511516/view/2930113815186420321

Victory At Sea 1.4 Update
Major features
- Port battles have been updated with additional land-based defences to pose a greater challenge to invading forces. These include bunkers armed against approaching boats and aircraft, batteries of shore artillery that can deal damage to your fleet at range, and land-based aircraft.
Other changes
- Custom port battles will also have these defences, with the port strength selectable in the fleet options.
- Fleet deployment positions in the campaign will be remembered between battles, to help save time repositioning your ships.
- You may be assigned a new mission to aid a low supply port, and given cargo ships for your fleet. These will be present in every battle until you reach the destination port.
- Missions from the Admiralty may now be declined. You will not be court-martialed for this! Additionally, you can cancel a currently active mission via the pause menu in the world screen.
- New campaigns in the Atlantic and Mediterranean theatres will have fewer Vichy French ships around, instead replaced with more Kriegsmarine fleets.
- An option has been added in the campaign options to start new campaigns at a random friendly port, and assigned to a random destroyer or cruiser. This will automatically skip the tutorial.
- Upon purchasing a new ship from the shipyard, you may now give a custom name to the ship and its captain. Also, non-player captains in your fleet now have a random chance of dying or surviving upon losing their ship.
- A new interface element has been added (from the iOS port) as an alternative method of turning a ship. Helm control can be toggled by clicking on the center wheel icon.
- Ports in the world screen now show the number of ships currently present in their defence fleet, versus the maximum.
- The carrier captains’ alert popup has been shrunk down to be less intrusive.
- Fixed a bug where ship orders would not work when the camera was zoomed out to the maximum.
- Fixed a bug where mission information, etc, was being displayed in English when playing in a different language.
- The Admiral Hipper-class cruiser now has its missing weapon information added in.
- Added in some missing tooltips on the UI.
- New Atlantic campaigns will start with most ports flying the Kriegsmarine flag rather than that of the Vichy French. The Italians will also have a base in Bordeaux.
- Torpedo belts no longer offer so much protection against torpedoes.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a campaign never to reach the victory condition.
