Bismarck battle

[Chisum]

Of course it's a good solution too.
But you know, I think it will be more impressive if I meet the Bismarck and the other ships and if I watch the battle during my war campagn and without any cheats because during a campagn it's like if it was in real time. And I will be like a "war correspondant" you see ?
I don't know if you understand what I mean.

Thanks to your solution.

Giant !



I miss the Hood battle because I was to many on the North.
I will try again tomorrow.

Go into the mission editor and look in the Campaign_Scr layer.....this will show you precisely where they are ingame.

Thanks Jim.
It's a way of course, but it's very fun to found the ships without any cheats.
I just need to know if there is a real battle in the game or if the Hood is simply deleted of the database after may 24, 1941.

Yesterday I read a little in the pdf but not found anything.

What you will find 'ingame' is that should you return to the area.....the Bismarck will be 'circling' regardless of the outcome of the battle.

Game limitations imposed on us regarding 'spawning' of vessels.

OK thanks a lot Jim.
Finally I've watched the files but I don't understand how can I traduce to find the position...

I must be tired probably but where is the position of the ship here ?

Mates...what does it means ?
3 times I re-uploade a save and 3 times I meet the same task force:


Nevada


New-Orleans

An american task force to intercept the Bismarck ????

Sorry for the delay...I never realised you were awaiting an answer from me.

Yes, as I've highlighted above, the Hood is deleted from the roster on 25th May 41.
