Can the "Big Showdown" with the Prince Eugen and Bismark be witnessed with GWX? If so, has anyone found the grid and a date? :D

Can't wait! :arrgh!: I'm not gonna let ol' Rodney get a chance to crack her bulkheads firing at the Bismark. I always thought Rodney looked goofy with the 3 main turrents forward to the bridge. :88)

I was lucky enough to sink both Rodney and King George, saving Bismarck... But he were still just sailing around in a big circle.

the ship is scripted to be sunk

so if you take away the enemy attackers, the bismarck will keep going in circles.

too bad you cant change a bit of history there :)

Which is just what would have happened if it wasn't sunk right?
Since its rudder was stuck.

Actually, Bismarck could use her engines to hold a roughly sorta kinda almost straight course, only very, very slowly; which was why she was tending toward the northeast when the British force caught up with her.
