Bismarck battle

Chisum · 02-22-09, 01:54 PM

Hi mates,

I need some help from the GWX 3.0 crew about the Bismarck battle.

Currently onboard U-101, I'm in the Danemark Strait and we are May 13 of 1941 and waiting for the first part of this big battle.
I hope to watch Bismarck and Prinz Eugen and also HMS Hood, HMS Suffolk, HMS Norfolk and HMS Prince of Wales.
My position is very critical due the day light 24h/24...

My questions are: is this battle entirely included in the mod ? Is the real road of the Bismarck correctly followed in the game ? Do you think that I have a chance to see the battle ?

Hope you can answer me.

Be sure that onboard, the atmosphere is very hard and all of my crew feels that someting great will be happen soon...

PS: I follow the career timeline of the Bismarck here:

Yeah, most major battles are modeled into the game, but you can bet you have no chance of saving the Bismarck. Read the manual for some of the other battles that are modeled.

I don't want to save the Bismarck, just watching the battle and make a movie about it.
Thanks to answer.

You can get secret intel if you load up the editor.
Set the start and end month and year to May -41 and load the scripted layer.
I have seen the last battle a couple of times but not the battle in the Denmark strait. I´m in Feb -41, maybe this time

Hi!

Your best bet is to create the battle in the scenario editor with GWX 3.0 installed, and then put your U-boat wherever think the cameras need to be. That way you can control where the ships are and where they go. You can also set up different parts of the battle using different missions. This makes blocking, editing, and other film-making activities a lot easier.

IIRC someone made a movie of the last voyage of the Bismarck several years back using SH3, with music from Lord of the Rings.

Of course it's a good solution too.
But you know, I think it will be more impressive if I meet the Bismarck and the other ships and if I watch the battle during my war campagn and without any cheats because during a campagn it's like if it was in real time. And I will be like a "war correspondant" you see ?
I don't know if you understand what I mean.

Thanks to your solution.

I miss the Hood battle because I was to many on the North.
I will try again tomorrow.
