Sank my first BB, how rare? (GWX)
Just sank the HMS Rodney (Oct. 1940) last night, I've played this game off and on for 5 years and that was the first time I came across a BB, Just northwest of Scapa (I don't look up where to find warships, just wing it). Was just wondering how often you guys run into capital ships (CV's/BB's) and if it's by chance or knowledge, thanks.
P.S Bismarck should have a fighting chance now? Right?... |

Played about 8 games, starting from 1939 all but once in 1940. I was once told where a battleship was (looked like it was headed towards Scapa), but I was out of torpedoes and couldn't do anything about it. Haven't seen any others.

I've played 3 serious campaigns (the third one being my ongoing youtube let's play). Once I was told about a task force in an adjacent grid square, which was somewhere west of Gibraltar. I couldn't find it and had to return empty handed, apart from a few smaller commercial vessels I was able to sink. I'm playing with the realistic-contacts mod, which is to say without contacts except for your own boat.
