Welcome aboard matey

Five Nelsons on parade is indeed a rare sight

Being as the British only built 2 I'd say 5 nelsons is an extremely rare site indeed
you sure your periscope wasn't broken or that you hadn't been running the diesels under water

Edit,
BB's 1 Magnetic, 1m below Keel depth, aim for under the fore turrets

Heh. I'm sure the scope wasn't broken. Eye exam is current as of a few months ago.

I had never actually seen a battleship before in this sim/game. When I was first looking I had a hard time figuring out the silhouette until I got a bit closer. That's why I was so shocked. If I see one again I'm going to do everything in my power to sink it!

Thanks all for the suggestions and comments.

In my campaing is mid '40 so it is shortly after norwegian campaign.You can notica quite a lot enemy task forces, howeever unless you intercept them or you spot them at a very nice angle for attack, it is quite dificult to approach since they tend to move quite fast.
I prefer actually firing all 4 torps to impact just to make sure i bring one down, and i am not big fan of mag pistols.However it is known that with magnetic you can bring down the beast with just one (if the aal dosnt blow your boat especially that early).

NW of the Hebrides as already said, and in the Northern approach to the Irish sea is a good place to find them early in the war. Very heavily protected as you'd expect but you can't beat sinking a BB.
