The Bismarck?

andwii · 10-29-11, 12:26 AM

So im wondering, is it possible to save the bismarck in career mode? I saved it in the single mission, but Ive tried it 2 times to find the Bismarck, and I went to the spot where the single mission takes places, and still no contact with the taskforce or the Bismarck.

Sadly no. Even if you manage to sink the entire task force hunting her, (in a timely fashion just prior to the historical engagement), you still get the Bismarck has been lost message. That plus she's scripted to not appear anytime after the date of her actual sinking.

A shame that, as it would add a great deal to the game if the outcome could somehow be dynamic based on player action.

On the other hand, to be truly dynamic the routes of all the ships involved would have to be randomized, so the original encounter with Hood and the finding of Bismarck by KGV et al might or might not happen at the appointed place and time, so you wouldn't be able to just go there with knowledge aforehand.

Tricky, ain't it?

Why not? I'm already confused, and misery loves company...

well that sucks, eh either way I stopped the whole engagement by sinking the hood a year prior, and then sinking the Rodney later on.
