R/C Naval Combat

Guys,

Ive been looking in to getting German Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen,  I got on Battlers connection, they have almost every thing i need, but they dont have the deck kit, so i dont know were i can find it, or can i just get the stuff at a hobbie store? talk to you all later ok.. what come in thwe deck kit is this: Deck kits generally consist of pre-cut 1/8" lite ply main deck, pre-cut 1/4" deck rim, Main gun barbetts, deck panel screws, assembly instructions & depth gage. I dont know home much of this a can get at a hobby store.. Here is the maen resaon, i went her:  But one of the think that made me fell in love with her at the begin with was the fact that she was a "lucky ship", and she always will be.. she was a little fight like me.. she was on the small size so am i , im only 5" 2' tall, so why is everyone alway underestimating her, as well as me.. She could still bite you, if you let her.. What do you guys think?

so if you like it get it . You will get help. I have a P.E. dose well with Midshipman. I have not had the helm of the ship yet. butt my dogs( MY FRIENDS) have had good luck with it.
1 sink in 7 battles

I'm beginning to think Nikki doesn't have enough to do.

Jason,
in to the enginerooms of Batlleships KGV and the old girl Rondey. Rob, what do you mean by that?..

Well, Nikki, it seems that you are stuck on an idea that is simply not feasible, and even though we've all told you that, you don't move on.

OK, this question, is about PG Coming to her, btother Aid, in 1941, it he was on his own? the question is in three Parts: If Renown and Repulse went up against PE, could they handle her, and get a tow line on her to keep her from helping her brother Bismarck in his last fight against KGV, Rondey, Norfolk and Dorsetshire?

I guess what i was trying to ask is could they hold on to her with the towlines til, bismarck got sank, then when KGV and Rondey, when back to scapa flow, the four of them take her back with them, but if they able to get a prize crew on board, they dont have to two her, but say in a net around her, so she can run for freedom, that what i ment ok..

What i mean by getting in a net around her with KGV, Rodney,behind her and Renown, her sister on each side of PE! if she gets in to a wiggle and squimming mood, how do they handle her or is she dogmeat? And Explain why, it would help me understand better? you guys and answer each part by it self ok..

Renown OR Repulse would blow Prinz Eugen out of the water.  No contest, no chance for the PE.  6 X 15" guns that can penetrate Prinz Eugen's armor at ANY range.  PE will be on her way to the bottom before she can even think about torpedoes, assuming the damgerous things don't blow up on her deck.

No way could PE think about towing Bismarck anywhere.  At the battle of Santa Cruz, when USS Hornet's power plant was knocked out by torpedo hits, heavy cruiser USS Northampton took Hornet under tow.  Best speed under tow was about 3 knots.  Northampton is also a sitting duck in this scenario, and can't maneuver.  When another IJN raid came in, Northampton was forced to drop the tow or risk being an easy target along with Hornet. 

If PE attempted to maintain a tow, HMS Ark Royal will almost certainly launch a strike with Swordfish, which will be nearly unable to miss.  That's not to mention, at 3 knots, PE can't outrun any of the RN's heavy ships (or even cruisers Sheffield and Dorsetshire)

At no time would the RN surround the PE, espeically in torpedo range.  They'll just pound her from long range, where the RN's heavier guns have better ballistics and thus better accuracy.

The bottom line is, there is absolutely nothing the PE could have accomplished other then die fighting.
