I just used Hipper's Scouting force to annihilate one of the British cruiser squadrons guarding the entrance to the channel (Let them get in close during the night, then mowed them down with the Battlecruisers and DDs)
Planning to send the Hochseeflotte down to the channel soon and try to disrupt the troop shipments, maybe get the Brits to send a sizable force to oppose me

Only problem I have with this game is too many magazine explosions...and on ships it shouldn't really happen to. Baden class,Revenge class Queen Elizabeth class and Iron Duke class to name a few. I can understand it if a Brit BC goes boom once in a while but I just had a random battle where 3 of my 4 British BBs all had magazine explosions. I really hope they tone this down cause right now it's throwing realism right out the window.

I have yet to suffer a single magazine explosion, every ship I saw went into the drain the hard way

http://forums.gamesquad.com/showthread.php?t=80732 It doesn't seem unreasonable at all to me. Try and stay at range (10K+) when engaging as the Brits, or you risk magazines blowing up with a rather alarming regularity when you come under sustained (and more accurate) Hun fire.

"Like a fine painting from the world’s leading military artists, our newest game JUTLAND delivers like no other. The graphic quality of the ships and the ocean explode onto the screen in unprecedented grandeur. Every ship in JUTLAND has been historically researched , carefully crafted and painstakingly rendered in exquisite detail. Here you will experience historical simulations in a lush, rich, real-time 3D game environment unparalleled in today's gaming"
They sure dont hold back on promoting themselves. The graphics would have looked out of date 6 years ago. theres nothing lush or rich about them whatsoever :rotfl: For anyone whos played Jutland are the controls any better then DG?

Well, Jutland looks a lot better than DG, and it's almost certainly the best looking naval simulation/strategy game out there (I mean, the last game was...Great Naval Battles 5?)
Anyway, the controls are very similar to DG's with the crazy pop-up menus, don't remember enough from DG about the camera controls and such so I can't tell you if it's different

Of course you're running the risk of hits below the waterline, but it seems to me that minimizing the chances of deck hits on the turrets will generally result in less magazine explosions

I've opted to use the U-boats and Merchant Raiders more than ever now. It seems to work, i've busted more than 20 merchant ships in 1 month while the allies just got 3. Random minelaying is also messing with the RN's light forces. Last edited by CaptHawkeye; 12-15-08 at 02:50 PM. |

- Attrit the Grand Fleet through U-Boat traps and mine warfare. The bait will be sending Hipper's forces out on bombardment missions. I figure I will spend half of the year long campaign trying to attrit the Entente forces before I start seeking a big battle. - Snap up as many Brit merchants as possible through U-Boats and fast surface raiders.

Well, after a few sorties with the HSF I managed to annihilate much of the Channel defenses, including the French squadron and a fleet of monitors that was unlucky enough to stumble into the way, still no contact with the Grand Fleet though
I haven't used Zeppelins, Submarines or Raiders extensively yet, now that the Channel is more vulnerable I will probably mine it like crazy and get to work on them merchants BTW, has anyone tried the multiplayer yet?

Is there any contact (email) adress for SES? The contacts page over at www.stormeaglestudios.com only gives the postal adress which is of no help. I want to tell SES why I will not buy their game and don't want to register at the gamesquad forums where all their staff seems to hang out regularly.
