Are these Rodney and King George V? I'm trying to end up in the right place and time to save the Bismarck. Unrealistic, yes, but just once I'd like to give it a go and see what happens. I know the fight with Hood starts on 5/24/41 with the rest of the events following after. Anyone have any grid coordinates that might be helpful? I've got about a month to get U-54 into position.

Would it not be roughly the same grid as it is in the Bismark single mission? Can't say I took much notice of the grid in the mission as I only loaded it to watch the fireworks after I installed Racerboys SH4 effects...

oooooh........aaaaahhhhhhh....:D

I was in Feb 1940 along the eastern edge of AM 32 when I saw the same thing, only there were escorts. I let two go at the Revenge Class and two at the Hood. I dove to a hundred meters, and on the way down I noticed the first two missed. I then heard an explosion and the three words every Kaleun loves to hear "She's going down". I went aft and looked in the log knowing I had hit the Hood, but found some idiot in a tribal class had sped up (the punk) and I had sank it instead. I had an escort on top trying to find me and had to go to 'all stop'. After they cleared the area, I surfaced but couldn't catch up to them so I broke off the chase. One of these days my luck will change and I'll get one.

OH man! I'd be pounding the keys out of my keyboard with a hammer...

happens to me all the time, and trust me, It's not pounding out the keys, it's digging the hair out from between them :rotfl:

Looks like my luck changed.:DL

29.2.40. 0004 Grid AM 53 Ship sunk! HMS Revenge (Revenge class), 31000 tons. Crew: 1189. Crew lost: 535

Dang that felt good. I couldn't wait to get back to Wilhelmshaven. I ended up with 72467 tons. My best ever. I keep this up and I can sit down at the same dinner table as some of you other Kaleuns.

BE MORE AGGRESSIVE!! http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

YES! :arrgh!:

I try to take part in norwegian operations in every career, sometimes i manage to sink the BB which steams to Narvik, you know the one with 8 destroyers...

I once managed to be in the somewhat right place at the right time-ish for the Bismark episode, I came into contact with 2 BBs on their way back home, both damaged, both unescorted. (possibly unescorted BECAUSE they were damaged)
:arrgh!:

can't remember the coords but i thought it was great they were still having their damage from what must have been the bismark shootout, felt awfully 'epic'

I've run into an R class pulling convoy escort between Iceland and the Faeroe's in early 1940 and hit the Nelson in Gib Harbour in 41 in my current career, (Currently late 43 cruising off the mississippi delta in awful weather) but as has been said you take what you find, like the large unescorted liner that I found in mid atlantic on my way over :)

I opened the Campaign_SCR file with mission editor. Its quite a mess. Does anyone know how I can see an exact day and time from it?
