Can the Bismarck be saved?

Thanks for your replies much appreciated

.

In the single player mission I can now always manage to save the Bismarck. I even escorted it back to base once

. What I do to achieve this is simply send two torpedoes with a 1 degree spread and the depth adjusted so they exploded under their keels. I normally launch the first two torpeoes at the trailing battleship and then wait from memory around twenty seconds and then launch the others. ( I did know all of this off by heart. But it has been a while since I have played this mission).

Now as soon as I release the last two torpedoes I then come about 180 degress as quick I as can to use my stern tube to finish either battleship off.

Nine times out of ten once one Battleship goes down the others seem to high tail it out of there. I have also been known in the past to take the rest of the ships on with my deck gun to cause more chaos and confusion

.

BTW I hope you are right about that Kylania. I think it would be great if I could manage to save it

. Now that you mention you have heard from others that they have saved it and escorted it back to base. I will go back to one of my earlier patrols and ensure I am at that patrol grid at the time the message comes through and see what happens
