I´m not sure that this will help. As I wrote, the Bismarck detects the King George at a range of 7.5-8km (it turn the turrets towards it), but waits until it comes up to 6km before firing.
That's exactly what I detemermined. However, having bismarck being led by Prinz Eugen, the heavy crusier fired FIRST and than bismarck opens up (the distance was 500m betwen teh german ships). Test - it might be interesting if indeed the Hipper class fires sooner than Bismarck..
