Looking at the screenshots, one thing that was added was reflections of the ships on the water. DG just had shadows, but it looks like Jutland will have reflections.

JUTLAND New Features

Wally:

JUTLAND does have reflections in the water!

And each ship has a unique bow wave as well.

Models are as much as 3 times the polygons as the RJW.

More feature peaks next week!

Yes they will.

We have increased render speed again and spent it on all kinds of cool Sh_t!

The textures seem to give the ships a more weathered look than they had in Distant Guns too. Very nice! By the way Jim, one of those screens on the main Stormeagle Jutland page just shows a repeat image of one of the others when the thumbnail is clicked.

Thank you ;)

Was pleased to get it in the mail today! I passed word of this to the Subsim forums right away, and I hope to see this one in the headlines of all the sim and wargaming sites come tomorrow.

Hope it picks up some interest in DG from the people that missed it, as well. :D

Alot of people passed over DG:RJW becasue of past RJW games from other companies.

The DG campaign game is so awsome that anyone who does get into it finds that its the best naval sim they have ever played!

Hear! Hear!

The only naval sim that comes close to DG is SSI's old "Great Battles" series. I played the North Atlantic campaign from the German side many times.

I still have to admit I kind of dream of an even wider WWI campaign than just Jutland, but Jutland will do! You have to admit though that there's plenty else in WWI that could potentially be done in this engine, but NOT before Jutland!

Admittably I've always been a bit partial to raiding operations (not surprising since I love sub sims) and the chases related to them. Eh, perhaps in another title ;)

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

In answer to "Can you guess the names of the above ships?", clockwise from top left:

1. (Hinchinbrooke already got it) - Tiger
2. - Seydlitz
3. - Kaiser class
4. - Nassau class

Question for Jim and Norm:

With such a large battle are you planning to model every class, i.e., a separate Neptune (as opposed to Colossus/Hercules), or KGV's (as opposed to Iron Dukes), etc., etc.................. Obviously, I hope you do, along with Agincourt, Canada and Erin, but that's quite the task............. just on the British side.

I bought Distant Guns in respect of Norm and his brilliant idea and efforts to create the game of pre-dreadnought age. And I hoped my money would be used in improving this game. What I would buy is the add-on with bug fixed (still lots to fix in this game), map editor, campaign/battle editor and pre-dreadnought fleets of the other countries rather then Russia and Japan.

As for the Jutland - I'm sorry but I'm not interested. :(
