Searching for Bismarck, Grid square of battle of denmark strait?

Plotted the battle to be at AD5435 based on the course of the hood and wales, and the time until the historical engagement. Will continue in the morning, I have to get some sleep!

great, you found them!

I just remember the BdU-message when all boats were ordered to help the Bismarck in her death-struggle after the swordfish destroyed the rudders.
if I guess right, the grid was BE56.

I searched for the Bismarck as well, and never found her. The swordfish were out in force, and I couldnt stay on top for long. I did run into the Hood and sank her, but never found ArcRoyal or Rodney either. Is the Bismarck actually in the game? I wanted to see the biggest weapon on the high seas, and see if I could help change naval history.

The Bismarck most certainly is in game. Below you can see her (bottom left) heading for Brest but is about to be intercepted by the BBs King George V and Rodney as well as the Heavy Cruisers Norfolk and Dorsetshire. At upper right you can see The Ark Royal with her escorts in attendance....notice the date and time: 27th May 1941 @07:57

Here she is on a broader scale (for map location purposes) a few hours earlier.

Am getting close to that date in my new career using the WarShipMod Bismarck.

Has anybody else using this mod used Bismarck to engage the 'real' Bismarck's attackers?

Thank you Jimbuna. I will be looking for her. I went too far North, looking for her in the Denmark straits.
