I sunk 3 Battleships in a taskforce just before the Straits of Gibraltor. I ran into them out at sea but I couldn't catch up to them. So, I figured they were heading to Gibraltor, so I full throttled the engines and made a Bee-line towards that area. I then patroled a narrow part of the Straits without really going in. Sure enough they come and sure Enough I sunk all three. As soon as I nailed the first one, they all dropped down to 9 knts and zig zagged. That made it easier to get the rest. One was a Revenge and the last two were Nelson's. Thanks to SH3 Commander, I sank THE Nelson. I poped the Revenge with one Electric Torp...after the steam that I had fired in the spread, detonated early. I had set it to 8.4 with magnetic pistol. I blew under the aft magazione and boiler room. Blew the stern right off.

I had waited about a 30 seconds after I had fired the first spread when I launched the second. All Steams running fast and impact pistols. They reached the first Nelson 7 seconds after the Electric struck the Revenge in front of it. I ended upp using 3 on both Nelsons to Capsize them to Davy Jones's Locker. Her escorts and surronding DD's never found me. It was at night and no moon. Perfect hunting conditions.

Only mod involved is the SH3 Commander. Can't run GW on my Laptop.

(ANYONE TOP THAT!)

P.S. I stumbled on to them by going to my patrol sector at the BE quadrant.
