Great Naval Battles of the North Atlantic on my 1st PC and a Convoy escorted by the Royal Oak and 2 old DD's got attacked by the Spee and Sheer and 4 DDs. I thought I was doomed but the Oak got a hit at 22'000 yards on the Spee that really did some damage. She slowed down and I think I knocked out her forward turret. It was then a matter of concentrating on the Sheer and keeping away from the DD's Torps. It ended out with a shot up Royal Oak but the Germans lost both Panzershiff's and two destroyers in exchange for both of my destroyers and about 6 months worth of repairs for the Oak.

But then again that game was quite unrealistic. In another engagement the Bismark and PE did their break out and evaded my patrols and hunting groups. They attacked a convoy escorted by the London and 4 Tribals. Three Tribals were sunk as were a few merchant ships and the London was badly mauled but the DD's put a torp into the PE which slowed her and two torps into the Bismark as well as her getting shot up by the DDs and CA. A few days later the Bis and PE attacked a convoy escorted by the Sheffield and 6 DDs and in that battle it descended into a close quarters knife fight. I dont know what I did right but the Bismark stopped firing early on after a series of hits only to resume firing with terrible accuracy. The PE was torpedoed and destroyed and three of my DD's were sunk and again the sheff badly shot up but she used all her ammo on the Bismark who took about 3 - 4 torpedo hits and was dead in the water when I gave up trying to sink her and sailed away. Few days later the Queen Elizabeth, Revenge, KGV and Hood came along and used her for target practice.
