The Bismark's headed to the NE section of grid BE53, arriving May 27th 8am to duke it out with some capital warships. Follow along and help the Bismark, and sink some capital warships of your own!

If let's say you got to the spot where the Bismarck sinks and sink all of the other British capital ships instead, can you save the Bismarck? Anyone try this, what happens?

I saw a post on this a few weeks ago, no matter what you do the Bismark will sink, even if you "save" it, you'll get a radio message later saying it was sunk.
My theory on this, as just having witnessed all this recently in my own career, is that even if you "save" the Bismark, I noticed that all it did was go around in a big circle. Perhaps this simulates the real life rudder damage it took before entering into that final battle. So matter what you do to save it, there's nothing you can do about its destroyed rudder, so it can't ever go anywhere and eventually runs out of fuel and sinks, or it can't direct itself the right way into any inclement weather and the seas sink her. Just a theory!

Personally I give a sh*t if Bismarck was sunked on May 27 or not. I do know one thing, either my copy of SHIII isn't historical correct or the ship that I see in my UZO, isn't the Bismarck.

BTW are in grid AM it's Dec 18 -41 and i just saw Bismarck, Hipper and som Zerstörer.

Regards
Markus
