WW1 Fleet Simulators?

[Phelot]

Does anyone know of any good WW1 naval simulators? Something that would deal with the Battle of Jutland would be awesome. Turn based or real time is fine (though I assume it'd be turn based) I don't even care if they don't have "campaigns" but rather premade battles.

Also, any individual ship simulators from the same war? Something like Silent Hunter but for a battlecruiser?

THANKS!

Distant Guns is the only one I know of. I played the demo long ago, I can't recall much about it. They have a Battle of Jutland and a Sino-Russo game, probably some others.

the simulation is too strong in that one from what I remember. Apparently ships had like 5% change to inflict a hit back in those times. So it's a whole lot of watching shells miss.

Yeah... ideally there should be a lot of different fictional scenarios to choose from. Jutland, when the visibility was decent, had some very precise hits, not to mention some of the tactical decisions that could be made. WW1 seems like a tough setting due to the static conditions on land and the chaos and randomness at sea.

I checked out that game's site, but it seems to be nearly down. Most of the links don't work and I can't seem to figure out just what kind of game it is. I mean, it doesn't seem to describe the mechanics other than it's a simulator and it has awesome graphics (in their opinion)

Point and click interface, real time with pause. Graphics are... ok, but WW1 ships weren't a lot to look at, especially from the air.

Now that I think about it, there was this WW1 Sub sim. Released by Strategy First, I think it was actually half descent. Also, I think there was a game named Jutland.

Never played it myself. Is surely not "Silent Hunter but with a battlecruiser." Probably more overall tactics.

WW1 subsim. I was going to try it but to be honest it doesn't look very good. It also needs to be said that the majority of ships sunk back then were sunk by the deck cannon rather than torpedoes because torpedoes were shit. Once the Brits started convoying, the gig was up. Seems pretty boring just sailing around and gunning down lone merchants. Gets quite old in Silent Hunter. Still, this is probably the closest thing to what you asked that I know of. However...

Will it ever be released? Probably not. And if it was there's no reason to believe it'd be any better than Shells of Fury. Still something to look out for. Reckon I'll give it an install if it gets released.

Anyone played PT boats?

It always surprises me that the Silent Hunter games never did one about with Japanese subs as their doctrine focused more on attacking warships than merchant shipping.

You can also try Enigma Rising Tide - alternative world post WW1. It had a lot of potenital, but it just pissed me off that it was an action game, not a simulation.

Omg, it looks just like Action Stacions with modern interface! Is there any place 'where i could find this and give it a try'?

There's no demo and no pirated version.

I don't know how it's possible that I haven't heard about it but it sounds fucking incredible.
