Help!!Operation Rheinübung....

JT1981 · 01-24-09, 11:55 AM

I have installed GWX3.0,and the manual told me that in May18~27 1941,the Operation Rheinübung will be activited,and it said the Bismark and Prinz Eugen will encouter the British Task force(HMS Hood and Prince of Wales included).
So i think maybe i could stay somewhere and intercept the Task forec,but the problem is where i should hide? Does anyone kown the excat area?

Thank you very much!

My guess - without looking
Would be between Greenland and Iceland
The Denmark straits

The track is true from the map but you'll have fun intercepting anything as you have to guesstimate where the track is on the in game map.
I've tried on 2 seperate careers but not yet seen the Bismarck, weather always turns crud for some reason.
I've cheated when I've had sound contacts though just to see what they are and watched the relevant British battle groups tramp past after the Bismarck but never managed to shoot at anything.
It all ends on the 27th May, before it does you get about 12 hours notice by way of a radio message to go to the NE of BE53 IIRC to assist the Bismarck but I've always been out of position when the sinking report comes in.
