Ouch.

As the Brit player, you should try hard to avoid capital ship engagements in bad weather or at night. The main Brit advantages are numbers, bigger guns with longer range, and a higher overall fleet speed. You should attempt to use your higher fleet speed to stay at a range where you can shoot but the Germans can't, and pound the HSF with 13.5" and 15" shells. Save the 12" ships for finishing off any cripples the Germans leave behind, until, over the course of time, you have whittled the Germans down considerably.

Yes, I'm learning the hard way. It was tricky of the AI. The small warships were the bait. Out of the night mist came the big boys with a bone in their teeth. In short, I was caught with my pants down

The tables were certainly turned for the worse. Extremely fun this game

Range is great but I like in hour face battles!

Heres an excellent screen of the battle of Jutland late in the evening.

Nice review Chris

I have not played a game such as Jutland, at some point
in time I may have to give it a go.

The game seems to be designed to look - not to play...

Task Force · 06-24-09, 01:05 PM

yep, jutland is a vary good game.

Gets realy intresting when you get 100 ships in a battle.

(and alittle confuseing. lol)

What do you mean by that...?

I mean - everybody is so exited about screenshots - but what about gameplay itself? Interface? Camera control? Seems like nobody cares about anything but look...
