The hunt for the Bismarck

[Darkrenown]

Stupid naval ai...While not doing as well as the Graf Zeppelin someone posted about earlier, the ai's Bismarck is doing pretty well again my fleet here:

Home fleet is hunting for it, but the Reserve fleet has already run into the KM and got mauled...Since I've foolishly neglected to build naval bombers it's pretty hard to track down and has been sinking ships from the north sea to the atlantic to the african coast. I'll catch it yet!

Well the Home fleet happened to be nearby the next time the Bismarck struck:

But...

I lost a Cl and the KM fled before it was light enough for my CAGs to attack effectivly

But there's no escape now, I caugh the KM 2 seazones to the east as they tried to return to their port!

You seem to be having a good time chasing that ship though.

This game is great!

Yes and YES!

If anyone was wondering, HMS Furious got the kill:

I suppose Bismarck is a super-heavy BB, or? Are they good?

Nah, she's an Improved BB. After improved you can go for either Super-heavy or Advanced.

On an unrelated subject, it appears that the Spanish Civil War got somewhat prolonged in your game .

Capitals at Burgos and Bilbao are visible.

Yeah, I supported the Loyalists in the event and they've forted up in the North-east. Next time I can move my interventionism slider I'll DoW the Natonalists if I can't get SPR into the allies before that.

Attacker is red, defender is green.

Yup

Alex's link provides the stats. Looks like advanced are by far the more cost effective unless the SH BB expects to have ample AA support.

You can actually research both. SH BBs have a historical date of 1938 compared to Adv BB's 1941, so you can have them in production a lot faster than the Adv.

Even though this Bismarck seemed to do better, she didn't sink any BBs right?

True, no BBs lost.
