Stock Battle of the Denmark Straits, playing as Royal Navy...

...Prince of Wales and Hood separate to divide the enemy's fire and clear their own lines of fire:

[Linked Image]

'Shoot!' Hood has opened her 'A' arcs and lets fly with a full broadside:

[Linked Image]

'Short!' Prince of Wales fails to straddle with this salvo from A and B Turrets:

[Linked Image]

Bismarck, steaming in Prinz Eugen's wake, wastes no time returning fire, taking Hood for her target:

[Linked Image]

Later in the battle, Prinz Eugen sinks as Bismarck steams past her, also on fire. Prince of Wales is about to let go with a full salvo:

[Linked Image]

Bismarck's main armament is still fully operational, though, although her accuracy has fallen off a bit:

[Linked Image]

Seen from Hood's forward fire director, Bismarck makes smoke in an effort to escape:

[Linked Image]

Hood is fighting fires in the background, but Bismarck's Atlantic sortie is clearly now over:

Thanks!

Some random scenes...

Convoy action! From a typical mission in the dynamic campaign, played from the German side, if I recall right.

With the battlecruiser Renown in the escort, this convoy might have felt safe from enemy surface action...

[Linked Image]

...but the U-boats showed up, instead...

[Linked Image]

...and the big ship was one of the first to go...

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

After that, it was the turn of the merchantmen...

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

The destroyers did their best...

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

...but all they could really do was cover the escape of the survivors...

Some studies of big ships. In Atlantic Fleet, differences within classes aren't replicated, one ship represents the whole class.

Scharnhorst, which also represents Gneisenau whose mainmast was stepped against the funnel. One can see why an RAF pilot out during the Channel Dash and not expecting to see such a ship in the English Channel, said when he saw Scharnhorst, 'I never knew the Navy had such a lovely boat':

[Linked Image]

Under attack from a Sunderland, in a campaign mission:

[Linked Image]

One of the sisters, dubbed Salmon and Gluckstein after a comedy duo, with 11 inch guns trained to starboard in poor conditions:

[Linked Image]

Renown in action against one of the German battlecruisers on campaign. Renown doubles for her less-modernised sister Repulse, famously sunk along with Price of Wales by Japanese aircraft early in the Pacific War:

[Linked Image]

The view from the other end of 'the two-way range', during the same engagement. The enemy is down by the stern and starting to make smoke:

[Linked Image]

Bismarck and Tirpitz out together in a campaign mission. The Atlantic Fleet model better represents the former IIRC, the visible differences being mainly down to detail amidships on the placement of the main cranes and the 105mm AA guns there.

[Linked Image]

Queen Elizabeth class battleships about to open fire. The AF model is based on the name-ship of the class I think - they all started in WW1 with two funnels and ended up as quite a varied class in WW2 after one or more reconstructions between the wars:

[Linked Image]

Bismarck again. This I think is how she looked during her Atlantic sortie after the dazzle markings were overpainted. Nice that they got the detail right of the optical rangefinder removed from turret Anton due to issues with spray, the gaps at the upper rear sides being plated over.

[Linked Image]

USS Washington or North Carolina, both having served in the Atlantic for a while, the former for a significant period:

[Linked Image]

And we finish this post with a return to Salmon and Gluckstein, operating together as they famously did in the real war:

Ships in trouble...


Graf Spee lost this particular play-through of Atlantic Fleet's stock Battle of the River Plate:

[Linked Image]

This used to be a three-funnelled County Class heavy cruiser:

[Linked Image]

The ships in trouble here are the merchantmen in a convoy about to be attacked by a Hipper Class cruiser:

[Linked Image]

These Kriegsmarine light cruisers have been caught by a British battleship in the Baltic and are making smoke in an effort to get away:

This destroyer was a victim of the U-boat whose periscope wake is visible in the foreground:

33Lima . Nice pics. I checked out your very in depth review of AF at CombatAce- well done! I don't usually play surface naval sims. Last one I guess was old Destroyer Command. This looks like fun. Downloading AF from GOG. Any other advice? Thanks...Vox
