I think Jim, Norm, and the rest of their crew are all too busy trying to get the game done to take the time to post new screenshots. Hopefully when one of them gets the chance to tease us a little more they will....

I believe we have early fall 2007 now. Still absolutely NO news about Jutland.
What's wrong, Jim ? Norm ?

Technically speaking, Fall doesn't start until the autumnal equinox, so it's only late summer right now :P.

Seriously, there should be some new shots fairly soon. Steve's been busy churning out the final versions of the ship models and they look sweet.

Anyway, don't despair. We don't really have that much left to do.

Can't wait to see these sweet-looking British ships full of holes, twisted, burning, sinking :-D
Hopefully in Jutland ships will break in half from time to time?

I'm sure they will not.
As well as DG:RJW hit-location system does not recognise damage of chimneys, for example. There is no opportunity to consider flooding on each compartment of the ship, too.

And the most BIG problem of DG:RJW physical model - there is no Arhimed Force here. So we can't speak about correct and real-life-like collision and sailing.

Well gents, they are there ! :devious:

I take it that most of you will have received an e-mail by now... which tells us of the new screenshots !

The ships look -of course- great, but I suspect the graphical options were on a low standard? My D.G. screenshots look better!

If SES wants ideal publicity they'd better show screenshots with maximum graphical detail! :)

Nice to see some new screen shots! Funny though, the QE doesn't do much for me. Doesn't seem beamy enough.............. or perhaps the turrets are too large. Then again, it could just be the angle/fov. Dunno!

Believe it or not, that's about right for a QE type battleship. Most British battleships during WW1 weren't really all that wide. They were built to fit existing dry docks. The Queens had a beam of 90.6 feet as built, the same as HMS Tiger, the widest of the battlecruisers. During the 1930's they were rebuilt with a beam of 104 feet. Narrow width was one of the weaknesses of British dreadnoughts of the time.
