PT Boats: Knights of the Sea
Developer diary blog launched.
13 November 2009 --- Battlefront.com, an independent internet-based publisher for superior war and strategy games and one of the internets largest wargaming communities, and Akella, one of Eastern Europe’s leading development and publishing houses, have just opened a dedicated Developer Diary blog for their upcoming “PT Boats: Knights of the Sea” naval simulation!
Said Martin van Balkom from Battlefront.com: “Many questions are reaching us from fans anticipating the title’s release, and the best way to respond to them all in detail is by a dedicated series of articles, touching upon many different aspects of the game, from various simulation effects and calculations such as ballistics, water and object physics, damage modeling and others, to the background and history of PT Boats.”

The first entry in the Diary talks about Weapon ballistics, how they are handled in the game to achieve the best balance between realism and gameplay, and how the different types of weapons are treated in unique ways.
