The Battle of Jutland, fought between the British Royal Navy and Imperial German Navy in 1916, is considered the largest naval battle of World War I. Today we’re inviting you to take part in this epic battle in War Thunder!

A large-scale battle awaits you in Realistic and Arcade Modes. Endless expanses of water, no aircraft — just fiery salvos, the roar of explosions, salty cold water and the commander’s orders that break their vocal cords! Will you pick the High Seas Fleet of the German Empire or the Grand Fleet of Britain’s Royal Navy? Choose your side and lead your ships into the Skagerrak Strait. May the best opposition win!

To participate in the event, you need to select the German or British fleet. In battle, you’ll be able to use the permitted ships in your crew slots. If you don’t have any of the ships from the list in your crew slots, you can still participate in the event and borrow pre-installed ships in battle (marked with an asterisk (*) in the list). Pre-installed ships have torpedoes, armor-piercing shells, pumps, repair and fire extinguishing, the crew is half-upgraded and the Expert qualification is on.

Each player has three respawns available, with each ship having its own cost in spawn points. At the start of the battle, each player has 100 Spawn Points (SP) available.
