• Battle Editor
  • The JUTLAND Pro Edition features an extensive Battle Editor for user created scenarios.
  • Drag and Drop GUI - Order of Battle based interface designed for easy scenario creation.
  • Hundreds of historically researched WWI era selectable ships to create fan-made scenarios.
  • Complete control over environment, date, and location in the North Sea area.
  • More player control over environmental appearance
• Simulation
  • Improved modeling of centralized fire control (gun targeting)
  • Director fire control – including three distinctly different Nationality based systems used during World War I. This is an advanced form of central fire control, with weapon mounts generally firing in half salvos
  • Blast effects upon nearby lightly protected systems (including non-turreted guns and their crews, lights, masts)
  • Illumination shells, explicitly placed multiple searchlights per ship, and nighttime lighting effects on weapon targeting
  • Fragile AP – Some armor piercing shells have a tendency to break up on impact rather than penetrating armor to their nominal capability
  • Explicit AP and HE ammunition by weapon
  • Simulation of non-penetrating explosive effects upon armor and ship hull structures
  • Less abstraction in mine attack and damage control handling during campaign games
  • Poor ammo handling – chance of magazine explosion by flash effect due to poor ammunition storage discipline
  • Improved damage control simulation
  • Bombardment missions and open sea mining
  • Additional weapon arcs
  • Ports and bases with limited support capability – forces may enter bases and ports “too small” for them, but small port will only be able to provide a fraction of the services per ship that a larger port or base can provide
  • Unique bow wake modeling based on the size and shape of the nose on each ship

• New Units
  • Submarines – reconnaissance and independent attacks
  • Zeppelins – reconnaissance missions
  • Lightships – floating lighthouses, treated as neutral regardless of ownership
  
  Micellaneous Improvements
  • Many more ships and much larger battles
  • Improved use of available 3d sound emitters for more immersive sound
  • Improved 3d object management, allowing more objects without impacting frame rates
  • Improved micro-view map generation, particularly at high zoom levels
  • Higher resolution campaign map
  • Improvements to automatic updating feature
  • Windows Vista compliance and optimization
