hey agreed (nice looking ship) well that thing about the German Air Arm. It's true they are rebuilding the whole armed forces. Therfore the Tornadoes for the navy are put somewhere else. I think they also decided to put the main focus of the German navy now on anti-terror and basically they just wan...

hey lets now continue the thread wat do u think to the suggestion from Luetjens to put torpedo tubes on all capital ships. wouldn't it have been better to send a capital ship together with a torpedo equipped cruiser rather than putting torpedo tubes on the ship, where they can be dangerous? adios miro

Endkampf with the twins

Hey
wat if at the last fight of the Bismarck, the Scharnhorts would have come in to help her out

the Bismarck, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau (maybe PE)
vs.
the Rodney, KGV, Norfolk, Suffolk and Dorsetshire

What would have happened?

Bismarck vs. HMS Warspite + HMS Exeter

hey i wondered wat would have happened if the Bismarck would have met the HMS Warpite and the HMS Exceter. If we would say the Exceter would have hit her in the boiler room or so and so that Bsiamcrk can't run for it, how would the battle end? Lets say that the Bismarck still manages 28kn. adios miro

hey yes it is quite a realistical scenario, but WHY would the Tirpitz engage the Repulse???? insteda of the Rodney? i would say that the TP takes on rodnety, while the two cruisers take on Repulse and KGV aids one of the other. repulse blows up, KGV rushes to attack the cruisers, while rodney and TP...
