Oh of course, it wreaked havoc, but average joe seem to know the bismark more than the tirpitz due to its status because of what it did, i suppose a kill like that is more important and makes it more famous than causing havoc.
But anyway, we have both so we've got the best of both worlds.
And I still love my little tirpitz

, I wouldnt care if it never left the shipyard, its an awesome looking ship (the extra weaponry does give it a meaner look than the bismark)
I've always thought that (during WW2 anyway) the germans made the best looking stuff with few exceptions
battleships, uboats, Tiger tanks, one exception being their aircraft they were cool dont get me wrong but nothing was as beautiful as the spitfire, nothing even today comes close to its looks or sound it is a perfect piece of machinery. we go to alot of airshows and the sound of a spit' still sends a tingle down my spine.
But anyway im just blabbing away now
