OK its mid January 1945, I have seen everything except a battleship and cruiser. Where could I find these two ships? Have sunk most everything else, would like to add a BB before wars end.

It's a luck thing. You might stumble into one but a this late stage of the war, but don't hold your breath.

You can commit suicide by trying to raid Loch Ewe or even sit off the mouth of it waiting but even this is no guarantee.

The most reliable ( but not guaranteed) place I have found them is back in the Med in '42.

I have found some careers are like this, one will find all the big stuff, the next, nothing much.

I've been playing SH3 for over a year and have seen (and sunk) cruisers (in Loch Ewe and in a convoy) and several escort carriers in task forces - but never seen a battleship or an aircraft carrier

Except I've been playing longer...

I remember in one of my previous careers I managed to sneak into Scapa Flow and sink a King George V battleship and a Dido cruiser. But I've never seen one on the high seas

Only once have I ever bumped into a Task Force without the use of the Spy Sat mod, and I managed to sink 1 battleship, can't remember which one though. Other than that not much in the way of torpedo action against capital ships.

Yesterday I did meet a battle group for the first time, I have been playing a year now.

I was some hours of slow steaming outside Gibraltar in the summer 1941, when I did meet this group containg the battleships Rodney and King George V and 4-5 destroyers. They were running in a colonn formation with course to Gibraltar. I was first at periscope depth, when I did hear then on the hydrophone. They were too far off, so I did not have any chance for a torpedo shot.

Where can i find this "Spy Sat mod" that you're referring to?

lock ewe is easy to sneak into, i do it just about every time when i finnish patroling my sector. there is a fiji light cruiser there for most of the war, sunk a battle ship there early in the war, and at some point in time there will be an aircraft carrier or two.

i have seen many battleships on my game in almost every major british navel port at some time or another i seem to find the most luck in scapa flow. the lastest battleship i have seen is the tripitz and that is because i have a new mod.
