Distant Guns! is a Naval Simulation which sets during the Russo-Japanese War in the first decade of 20th century. The game offers huge battlegrouds, up to 100km wide maps, and even if you go near the "edge", the game autogenerates more. The battles are fought in state-of-the-art 3D environment with advanced visual effects, including dynamic lighting, astronomical positions and phases and weather effects, which affect the ship and weapon performace. The ballistics are accurately calculated for every shot you make including armor penetration and the ship models are carefully modelled from detail to detail from over 200 historical ships, from torpedo boats to battleships.

- Searchlights, mines, base defenses and shore batteries.
- Extensive Navigation Assistance Loc, including automatic torpedo and collision avoidance, helps you keep your forces organized during a battle.
