Bismark's breakout.....Donitz positioned U-boats to help it try to escape the british Battleships. Therefore these ships had an effect on the u-boats.

British aircraft carriers were sunk in the Med by U-boats....Therefore these had effect on u-boats.

Nelson and Rodney were both torpedoed bu u-boats ....but the torps didnt do enough damage to sink them. Therefore they had an effect on u-boats.

Royal Oak....Revenge Class Battleship....sunk at Anchor in Scapa Flow. need I go on.

get your facts right before you make personal insults.

And what of the Spee ???

Spee...nothing. Lutzow/Deautschland.....Battle of the Bearing Sea (that north of Norway to you). U-boats involved in this battle. U-boats shadowed the convoy and relayed info back to German Fleets.

I dont recall a KGV Class sinking any Uboats, nor Dido's, nor Fiji's or Revenge. In fact I cant recall any sub's being sunk by a capital ship, sure as hell not in any number to have an impact. So impact on the Uboat war - none. Targets on the other hand, plenty.

impact does not mean it had to be torpedoed and sunk by a u-boat to have an effect on the u-boat campaign.

The impact is whether the ships were active in the u-boats hunting grounds. Which every single capital ship in the stock game was. Go read a few books then come back to me.

No way ....was definately going to buy it until i seen the screenshots from BIGBOYWOOLLY and they were so disappointing.

Even the Arethusa Cruiser which was shown on the X1 website as being built from scratch ended up being a poor clone of a Dido I think. Was definately not the same model shown on the website (Guns were in totoally wrong position).

As for the British HEavy Cruisers.....I cringed at the 3 funnels on a Hipper class cruiser.

So unfortunately I wont be purchasing the add-on.

I would have paid double the asking price if the Ships were scratch built and close to realism as possible. Now I wouldn't take the X1 game in a lucky bag.

No wonder you have sand between your ears. Even that statement still has no bearing on "impact of the Uboat war"

Again, still has no bearing on the statement "impact of the Uboat war". When you can comprehend simple plain english, then start your brain before opening mouth and engaging gear! Ohh I forgot, you cant comprehend plain simple english, that means your sand is leaking from your ear's.

You started with personal insults not me.

Of course "impact on U-boat war" can include whether a U-Boat torpedoed a Battleship or if Battleships were operating in the U-Boat operational areas.

Battleship Barham was sunk by a U-Boat. Yes I know it was a QE class Battleship...but it was still a British Battleship.

Ark Royal....Aircraft Carrier....Sunk by U-Boat.

Royal oak....Sunk by U-Boat.

Nelson and Rodney...both Torpedoed or Mined by u-boats.

Hood.....Attacked by U-Boat.

Courageous...AirCraft carrier....Sunk by u-Boat.

Revenge/Royal Sovereign Class Battleships escorted many troop carrying convoys.

D-DAy Armada....Nelson was present.

Cdre Gibs.....huh,,,,,,you wouldn't even make a Sea Cadet.

Oh and BTW wulfmann

You sir have been a have been an avid backer of X-1...now please let me ask you a simple question, Can you with your hand on your heart say you trust X-1 100% after thier past reputation and also what serg has stated? I am giving you an option to truthfully answer here as it's not a loaded question.

Hmmmm also waiting for comments from Wulfmann. :nope:
