About the Game
Battleship Command: Scharnhorst
Take command of a 30,000-ton Scharnhorst-class battleship in this immersive World War II naval simulation.
Explore the ship in first-person, walking its decks, bridges, and control rooms — all meticulously recreated from historical blueprints. Issue orders to your crew or take direct control of key stations, from gunnery and radar to navigation and damage control.
Hunt down merchant convoys, disrupt Allied supply lines, and clash with enemy warships across the stormy Atlantic, icy Norwegian Sea, and sunlit Mediterranean. Dynamic weather, sudden fog, and a full day–night cycle can hide you from your enemies — or conceal them from you.
Use authentic radar, rangefinders, and fire-control systems to track, target, and destroy your foes. Command an entire surface fleet of destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, coordinating maneuvers and tactics to outwit and overwhelm the enemy.
Key Features
• Authentic simulation of WWII naval gunnery and fire-control systems
• Historically accurate 3D model of the Scharnhorst-class battleship
• Expansive campaign areas covering Europe and North Africa
• Single missions and scenarios — both historical and fictional
• Quick and intuitive scenario editor
• Realistic damage and flooding modelling
• Dynamic ocean, weather, and lighting simulation
• Living world with active convoys, patrols, and merchant traffic

Hi everyone!
This update brings key binding to the game so you can customize the controls in the settings panel.
It is a first iteration of the system, so there are still a few limitations.
Over time I will be adding more functions that can be bound to keys, like opening various panels or firing individual turrets.
There will be a thread in the Steam discussions where you can report issues with this system or request "commands" that can be bound to keys.
All the best!

Hey!
A small update with some bugfixes and small improvements.
Patch Notes Build #491
Fixes:
-Fix trigger id in mission editor not updating when switching groups.
-Recon plane behaviour update
News:
-Volume sliders for interior ambience
-Increased Fire director lock range to 38kmHey everyone!
Here's a small patch that should hopefully fix some of the pressing issues.
Thanks to everyone who has reported issues and also tried the beta branch!
A case where the player character would freeze has been discovered and hopefully solved.
Controllers have been affecting the player movement, so I have now removed those inputs.
I will look at adding controller support in the future and proper key binding possibilities.
This patch also attempts to improve the UI for 16:10 aspects. If you run the game with 16:10, please let me know if this improves the UI.
I will be looking into improving and bug fixing the recon plane next!
Cheers

Fixes:
-Prevent connected controllers from moving the player
-Fixes to make 16:10 aspects ratios function
-Some improvements to the external camera view
-Prevent Dynamic Traffic patrols to spawn on top of eachother
-Potential fix for unwanted UI input
-Fix invert mouse toggles only show in control settings
-Fix error when fleet ship sunk, causing player character to freeze
New:
-Added the possibility to "run" by holding Left Shift while moving.
-The External camera can move faster by holding Left Shift.
-Added toggles to enable inverted mouse look and director aim, in the Control settings.
