I just found HMS Nelson leaving Narvik fyord today. First time I saw a British battleship, or task force of more than just destroyers for that matter. I managed to hit it with 3 torpedoes and sink it, something that pretty much suprised me, since I'm still perfecting my manual targeting and I barely managed to finish the solution before they passed me. I wasn't even sure if all the measurements were accurate. I was lucky though, weather was very favourable to me and I practicaly found myself on their path without even knowing they were out there. It sank after 20-30 minutes, but I didn't get to witness it, I had 6 destroyers after me and it took them a while to move on. I think I'll have to reactivate the all seeing outer view, I miss all the cool explosions without it.



Edit: Actually, I think I've incorrectly identified the ship. It must have been HMS Rodney, Nelson didn't serve in Norway, it was still beeing repaired at the time. I guess that's what happens in rough seas when you don't have time to double check everything
