Thanks for the salutes, comrades. I also had the chance to take out the outer escort with a snap shot from a stern tube but decided not to; I didn't want to risk those BB's suddenly altering course and causing a miss. I had sailed between the outer escort and the first row of the TF, so I was perfectly situated to take out the destroyer, but those BB's were THE target, so I let her go. I figured she might die of embarrassment had I succeeded in taking out two BB's, but the one was still sweetly satisfying. A long time ago I did manage to take out two BB's from one TF, but any success against a major TF is to be savoured.
I'm still waiting to see a Luftwaffe strike on a convoy I have called in. All these years of playing and I have never seen that. Other players report never having been able to intercept a TF; our gaming experience is widely varied and testimony to the immense replay value of SH3 and GWX.
