She limped off into the sunset, listing badly but still afloat... What I wouldn't have given for another moment or two (unmolested) to finish her off.

Sounds to me like the escorts did their job

Too well for my liking... I barely had time to crash dive before getting rammed, plus one of my props got destroyed in the process so I could only limp along at 1 knot on the surface (even at flank).

Pursuit with electrics was pretty much a useless exercise as they kept sending a new trailer escort every time I took the old one down.

Tough to come so close only to lose her, but lessons were learned and I'm eager to have another go.

Is the Bismark's attempted breakout modelled in GWX?

Short answer: yes

Long answer: From the GWX V3.0 Gold manual page 200.

"Operation Rheinubung in GWX
Operation Rheinubung ("Rhine Exercise") features a breakout by the battleship Bismark and heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. They meet HMS Hood and Prince of Wales, sink the Hood, and then split up, generally following their historical journeys to survival or destruction."

Yes I sank her by mistake. Of course I reloaded to prevent me getting hanged. I regret that now
