Looking forward to finding out

OK the Bismarck is indeed in the stock SH4. Well I have the Harbour Traffic Mod enabled if that makes any difference?

Here is the screen shot I just took.




In my next game I will try to be there when she shows up . Or I might even try to intercept the King Geroge and Rodney and take care of them before they can sink the Bismarck .

i was following the hood when at 0310 it disappeared. I reloaded and did it again, then from an earlier save, and another earlier one. every time, at 0310 on the 24th, the hood and wales disappear. no wonder i couldnt find them at their historical point, they werent in the game!
so this means one can not watch them fight it out...

Hrm... sounds like a "Delete On Last Waypoint" was checked in the editor.

Looks like the mission editor from SH3 to me

No....look carefully at my date and time because just before that (a day or two before IIRC) she separates from Prinz Eugen (IIRC) a few hundred miles further west and at this point IS scripted to 'delete on last waypoint.

SHE WILL SHOW UP AGAIN PRECISELY WHEN AND WHERE I POSTED THE SCREENSHOTS EARLIER.

Courtesy of this thread, I'm getting the itch to miraculously be in the area of say Ark Royal or King George V/Rodney at the historically appropriate dates, so let me ask: How well represented is Operation Rhine in the stock campaign?

A little late to the party but I fancy taking part in this historic event. However, the screenshots that this comment refers to are no longer available. Could anyone please give the map co-ordinates (date and time) for the sinking of the Hood and for the second battle that resulted in the sinking of Bismark.

I am hoping to be able to watch from the surface using "Improved AA Plus" download to protect the U-Boot from any annoying aircraft.
