As a viewer, I feel valued.
As a valued, I feel viewer.
And doing very well.
Me three
I feel patronised :(
As a US citizen, I don't 😢
You are only a valued viewer if you watch the mission briefing. Cap really values that time spent.
He’s only says it in maybe 33% of his videos if it was really important he’d say it in all of them.
Watching briefings does indeed give extra Valued points. And VPoints are important.
@@grimreapers Is that the GR social credit score?
Gotta watch the briefing, or it's just a "movie"!! 😂
I never miss the briefings, you might end up lost as to what they're doing in these scenarios, granted you might understand in some without it, but I still feel it's useful if I'm going to watch it I want info on what is supposed to go down!
Love it, thanks guys. As much as I'm enjoying these videos it's making me want to purchase the whole console, I'm obviously way behind but at least stuff is getting updated for when or if I do get one, there's so many different add-ons as well ahhh! 😅😂
Damn Cap, I didn't know the carrier launch procedures were so precise. Loved that you showed how you look at the launch officer and the commands. 10:15 ish
“Must resist following the bomb down”. Yes indeed Cap!
It's pretty and shiny.
Actually, sometimes a "day time strike" is done in order to "send a message" as well as to deal with an issue. Most of the time, doing a strike in the daylight means "We could do this whenever we want and there is nothing you can do to stop it."
The reason that MOST of them happen at night is basically to reduce the risk of "civilians hanging around" as well as hopes of catching the enemy "sleeping" and not "on station", or at least not FULLY manned "on station".
see: Moskova vs Ukraine
Who would have known that Houthi and the Blowfish would become so dangerous.
😂 I've heard stories of pilots talking between themselves while on a long flight! Thank you for sharing!
Great video guys thanks - love the landing sequence!
For once, the GR mission went smoothly
Cap, you make me laugh every time.
Thanks. I really needed it.
Thank you for coming back to my office, Reapers!!!
Brilliantly enjoyable stuff! GR has the best, committed and professional members.
Professional? I don't think so. Have you seen simba?
@@Steamthrower1 Yes I have.
Houthi positions in Sinai ? The Egyptians might have something to say about that.
I had to scroll down way too far to find someone who pointed out that this is the Sinai and not Jemen.
Yep, think this is a major foul up in planning this 😮
And why is the Gulf of Eilat/Aqabar showing on the map as dry land?
It's the only part of the Red Sea in DCS.
This is the closest they can really get since that part of the Red Sea isn’t in DCS.
DANG! The GR stop smoking program is extremely, violently effective!😊
YESSSSS! COOL! THANKS TEAM GR! YOUR THE BEST!
Nice mission and video also just remembered why i bought the carrier module.......
Outstanding!! How “topical”!! Good job!
Capt and crew rock
Hello valued content creator!
Good afternoon, Gang! 👍🏻
this feels like old times when a GR mission never ran smoothly!! also isn't 300kn max speed for a bog?
299, they never really reach 300.
@@grimreapers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why would you skip the briefing? Thats the whole point! Good video gentlemen
Once the mission starts they all split and do their own thing anyways so not like it matters
I think I caught a glimpse in there somewhere of altitude above minimum 20,000 ft.
I want to see an grim reaper response after they attacked a ship full of Cortana merch
kinda funny how irl the Eurofighters carried Meteors as well just to smoke that single F-5 that the Houthis have
I feel bad for that f-5 pilot. Imagine being in his shoes! It's terrifying!
They probably also carried them just in case the Yemeni airforce tried to do something stupid.
@@0z3r0They only have one F-5 lol
@@subjectc7505 Nono the regular yemeni airforce they have MIG's
@@0z3r0policing nato airspace 24/7,365. Prob just never taken off ever
It would be nice if the SAM threat rings disappeared as the SAM sites are taken down. It would be easier for viewers to keep track of what has been destroyed and what is still a threat.
Imagine the range of travel on a 33" extension on a standard flight sim stick... It'd be about a 3 foot circle between your legs 😂
Yup
Small, but maybe significant detail, in that video of the strike against Yemen released by USCentcom, it showed EA-18G growlers being used, probably for jamming of radar sights and shooting at them. Could there be any way of simulating this in DCS, and how does it effect the effectiveness of Yemen air defence against aircraft and/or (cruise) missles?
Latest progress update from ED mentioned more detailed simulations of ECM in the works. Could be we see some more advanced EW later this year or next year. For now we have rudimentary jammers with dubious effectiveness
Super-Cap is super-psychic!! (Super-hero music)
Our value has never been higher!
Wonder if the desync trouble would be resolved by allowing designation of a grid reference point assigned to everything either hardcoded in maps or within missions? Apologies if this is already known about.
Military has a similar issue that causes radar contacts reported over datalink by two or more link participants to be in different places as if two contacts instead of one. It’s caused by navigational errors but also lots of technical factors resolved by what they call a data link reference point or DLRP and an auto “gridlock” method to fix the problem.
Hey Cap, why not mount the pod on the cheek of the FA18 and carry a centreline fuel tank?
jeeeez, are you guys on the Ritalin or what !!! :)
Oh god, firedad's close to me...
Every time you say “fater” it makes me think “fartier”. And I immediately envision a person who farts for a living, but takes himself far too seriously. He, thus, calls himself a “fartier”.
Morning Cap! Great timing on the video by the way! Also hope you're staying warm where you are at! It is -40⁰ outside (F & C cross at -40 below 0 on temp scale btw) with wind chill -60⁰F ish so I do not plan to go outside.
Alberta?
@@robjohnson5872pretty close in the states though. Its warmed up quite a bit this morning yet
Jesus Christ! Amazingly cold.
It's a "dry cold" though right Matt !@@grimreapers
Good morning viewers.
Hey
Apparently, the Houthi’s are claiming they shot down an F-22. 😂😂 when in fact, not a single F-22 is even over there.
They were granted free enrolment in the "Russian School of How's The War Going" 101. Creativity is greatly encouraged.
Even funnier F-22’s don’t fly off of Super Carriers. So am not sure what these Sea Pirates/Rebels
are talking about? 🙈
I thought there was indeed one F-22 squadron in the middle east still? Probably not taking part in this conflict though.
@@grimreapers based off of what Habitual Line Crosser stated from the pentagon, there weren’t any at least involved with any strikes. Could be in the Middle East though.
@35:00 ish That desync looks like the inertial navigation system has been slowly pulling out of sync because of the earths rotation. Just a thought that came to mind.
No it's a server / multiplayer issue, the host and client see different positions but the bomb hits the same target regardless. Earth's rotation is not modelled in dcs.
@@Steamthrower1I just thought it looked a bit funny.
but,, as I recall,, I think the inertial navigation system is actually modeling the rotation of the earth. If I remember correctly, I think Cap tested that a long time ago. (but that was years ago)
@lordsqueak probably true, however what we see is server desync from host to client. Nothing to do with ind
@@Steamthrower1I know that. Cheers
Deja vu
Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to do a improved version of the F-117 vs carrier group. I know that now the models for each have matured greatly and can be seen as far more accurate and I was wondering just how different the mission would go.
Sure
@@grimreapersyou’re the best!
You don't have the USS Eisenhower CVN-69 there Cap. You have the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71. The ship I served on in the first Gulf War.
second question did DCS ever get an AVRO ARROW modeled as the worlds greated interceptor that never got put into service.
okay 3rd question can you equip those F-18's with those new Hellfires with the 4 samurai sword variant. you know for less collateral damage.
Not modelled in dcs
Simba was sassier than usual today
Agreed
At 29:26, Cap lays out cold. Cigarettes/Cigars really are bad for your health, or is it those bombs he intends to drop.
Good grief, Charlie Brown!
how do you get that overlay in the top right? great video as always btw
Their own script
Can you provide a link for the super hornets?
How have I not heard Houthi said out loud before?! Dispatch the USS Blowfish immediately.
Isn’t FAE normally Fuel Air Explosion?
"wingman is responsible for separation and deconfliction" - all NATOPS
I really think it would be more cool and realistic if you used Hounddog ECM Script in conjunction with IADS so the Radars would turn on and off like in real life. Although, I myself still have not found time to read into how to get it to work yet myself lol.
Yeh that's a fair comment.
appreciate you pronouncing Houthi as 'Hooti' Cap. Drives me nuts every time I hear " Houthi rebels " on the news, etc.
News readers are noobs.
The timing of this is crazy
You say Houti, i hear "Iran proxy"...
Can you please tell me what map is this ,,,thank you ,,,,great vid
Honestly would love to see a battle with US/UK allied forces in the area IRL vs the yemen forces in the area IRL in a realistic scenario where US ships are attacked and then retaliate rather then these smaller playered based games.
no my question does DCS not have the capability to merge with a tanker and automatically retop off the tanks of fuel to make an RTB possible or on the outbound leg? Because in all reality there would be and F18 or 2 set up for tanker to refuel the sortie planes just before going inbound or while returning to the carrier??
Tankers yes on the f18 to f18 no
Hey cap, the f/a 18 has a tanker variant, why not use a couple of those in fuel critical missions?
Not in dcs
"Lots of finding out about to happen" 🤣🤣 Best description of a strike I've ever heard. Need to petition the code name for real life operation to be "Fuck around and find out". "Play stupid games win stupid prizes" would have worked too.
Sustituted
15:00 lol 🤪🤣😱🤣🤣🤣
For how long planes can serve carriers before their frames get rusty/not safe?
My understanding is that carrier planes rust faster than land-based planes (for obvious reasons)
Please, don't let Simba do surgery on me.
Unless I missed a comment on it, you've missed a little on your geography. This isn't the South Red Sea/BAM area but instead the Gulf of Suez and Sinai Peninsula at the north end of the Red Sea.
Yes, you missed the first 2 minutes where he said we can't use the red sea in this game as we don't have it.
Did that 2 minutes get cut out of the version here? I ask because I listened to the video, and then went back and relistened to it after your comment and he mentions the labeling but never says this isn't actually the SRS/BAM/GOA. Not so much complaining but having spent a lot of time in the SRS and GOA, it jumped out to me pretty quickly that this was Sania.@@Steamthrower1
is this a game or something? or a simulation they just made?
Cap I live in Florida. What happened. You know the Florida launched the majority of tomahawks 😅😂 gotta admit the converted Ohio class makes a bad ass Tomahawk truck and launch platform. 😂
my dream is if MSFS 2020 added the ability to do warfare
Hey Grim reapers, what about modern time Iranian navy and air force against invading allies??
Previous vid
@@James-9999 I mean WWII era allies invasion.
Letsss goooooo
Edit 2nd also subbed
Welcome
Omg thx I didn’t think you would reply
Now, where is the part that they shot down an F22
Yeh I heard about that.
Who is lasing for the Typhoon ? If they're using laser GBUs (the paveway III is only laser), they should've a laser station somewhere ? Or it isn't showing due to some bug ?
Aren’t the newer gbus laser/gps ? Could be wrong but I think I heard that somewhere
@@sebase1161 the paveway IV is INS-GPS/Laser guided. And btw that's the one that great britain did use against Houthis militant during the air raid last saturday. But the paveway III isn't and that is the one GR's typhoon are using in this video. That's why I'm wondering where is the lasing station
We were using Paveway 3 but they were representing Paveway 4 as used IRL.
@@grimreapers alright, tho they were already setup at a strike point I imagine ?
How did u get the map
Houthi do have Patriots or similar??
We use Patriot Pac-1 instead of their Sayyad 2C system.
Is there a Eurofighter in Steam Version?
Don't think so.
Doesn't matter what version you're on, you can use it. Just follow download instructions mate.
I just come here for the farter jokes
Why did you set up the Houthis' SAMs on the wrong side and Red Sea?
Wrong side? And we don't have the red sea in dcs
As much as I like that you do these vids, your aircraft load outs are always so unrealistic. You never seem to use drop tanks which are typically always employed. Especially when the typhoons flew all the way from Cyprus and had to remain on station for a few hours with the odd AAR.
I’m aware that there are issues around not everything being available, as you said, but the RAF hasn’t integrated Paveway III (GBU-24) nor Paveway II (British MK18 with a Paveway II guidance kit) onto Typhoon since Tornado was retired and solely use Paveway IV (basically GBU-49 also known as EGBU-12 with some modifications and a different warhead with greater penetration capabilities).
Can’t say much about the USN side of the operation, but I do know from videos that they all had bags.
Sorry for the rant as I do genuinely like the videos but I just think they could be made so much better with this in mind.
Valid rant, but you have to remember all info is open source unclassified and DCS coding. So it cannot be truly realistic, but it is fun.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Does this guy have ANY actual combat experience? I'm NOT flaming but i'm guessing purely gamer
None whatsoever
Alright Cap and GR team, I have a short competition scenario that's beyond unthinkably dumb...
Commander of Ukraine's ground forces, Alexander Syrsky is now requesting A-10s. Given the environment, Su-25s have to perform a pitch up maneuver to fire their rockets. The A-10 loaded with HE rounds is basically a cluster bomb with 1174 submunitions; can the A-10 toss 30mm HE in a pitch up maneuver while contending with what Ukrainian pilots are facing? Which GR pilot can be the most accurate/effective against soft targets (troops, fuel trucks, Scooby Doo vans, etc) without being shot down?
Why are you posting this question as a TH-cam comment to a video that covers an entirely different subject?
@@warbuzzard7167 Probably because comments on old videos aren't read and the scenario request is for a video that doesn't exist?
Ukraine is making a poor decision with the A-10, I'm guessing none of the ex-soviet countries have an Su-25s left?
Hello Valued Viewers🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
I’m curious with many of these simulations, if the US wasn’t involved how would they go? How would the UK, or France or India do by themselves?
Recommend reading about Operation Barkhane. Was supported by US though, may have hard time finding real life examples of NATO member states action without US support
@@NuclearWinter7693 Blackbuck raid. Falklands war, 1982.
Not modern but certainly a NATO member, on their own. Against slightly better (not much) opposition than in Yemen.
Hey, is it possible to provide the mission file? Ty
Sure, msg me in Discord.
The US and UK should look after their own people before instigating even more wars
I agree, but the Houthis shouldn't be targeting merchant boats.
@@Just_A_Random_Desk They've commandeered vessels trying to supply Israel. Which is what the US and UK should be helping them with given the fact that they are signatories to the Genocide Convention; which requires action to be taken if there is a genocide happening (which any honest reading of the Genocide Convention makes it quite clear is the case). Here is the actual text
"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as
such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its
physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

(There is a link to the full text if you would like to read more)
No reasonable or honest individual can look at what is happening in Gaza and come to the conclusion that Israel's actions do not meet this definition.
Whether you like the Houthis or not is irrelevant. Two things can be true, the Houthis can be an Islamic fundamentalist group (which they are) but they can also be in the right in this specific circumstance.
Protecting international shipping is looking after your own people though... If it grinds to a halt prices go ⬆️
Iran should look to the freeing of their own women instead of torturing the babies of other countries.
This is the fallout of October 7th. Had that not occurred to divide the US's attention away from supporting Ukraine, the Houthis would not be being attacked.
A->B->C a logic chain if you have the mental power and objectivity to see it.
They did protect them.. Not a single missile hit a boat. Like they care about our prices. Do you trust them after everything? After the pipeline? After open borders? After funding Nazis in Ukraine? Joe Biden didn't even win. The new king is a globalist shill. I don't pay taxes for this crap not willingly. Let Israel deal with it they have the most sophisticated intelligence agencies in the world you don't think they knew Hamas would attack? The simulations and Cap are really cool tho! @@rowanmaguire7890
How do i get the eurofighter?
Link in vid description to playlist of all the mods we use.
You didn't give them their one fighter jet :(
It was down for maintenance.
They have 2 I think. An F5 & an SU22. That'll stop the USN.
69 miles.. noice
I wonder why didn't the british takeoff from bahrain. It's a much shorter route. Saudi Arabia is an enemy of the Houthis so i dont think they would be opposed
There's simply no need to. They're already based in Cyprus and have fuel to get there.
The Houties are protected by a lot of farters.
oof
They did the attack at night, so ???
I don't think gr are capable of night operations.

You don’t need a $3000 system, i have a 9 year old system and it runs it, it’s still a lot of fun without 4k ultra high graphics,
It's free and you really don't have to be rich to play it. Just get RAM higher than 16 and adjust your settings.
@@subjectc7505 it is a whole lot more than that if you want to be in any group you need those goggles & or multi screen for visual effect, goggles are the best than you need a high tech joy stick along with the flight control console with rudder pedals & throttles, so no your wrong, plus you have to purchase a jet to fly.
@@mtguitar5150 your right a person does not need a $3000.00 computer, oh no, it's a heck of alot more than that if you want to have any experience what so ever, I have a $3000.00 computer & it's no where near for what I need to play this game, you must work for the team. 🤣
@@xaravien you don't know what it takes to play this millionaire game, not 1 bit do you even have a thought what it takes. Rubbish back in your lap team worker.
This is that game that costs like $3500 for all of the content, right? Looks pretty engaging but man that is some Star Citizen-level scammery and you'd think the game would at least work. I watch a lot of your videos and there isn't a single one where a DCS bug doesn't significantly detract from the experience imo.
I think a lot of the trouble is trying to get all sorts of different mods to talk to each other.
No, not at all. You can trial modules for 2 weeks, I believe now you either get your first module free or 50% off, meaning you'll pay $40 for any top tier module. You're watching the wrong videos then, you've clearly come here to spout rubbish you have no idea what you're speaking aboutm
@@Steamthrower1 Guess I hit a nerve, sorry I criticized your favorite game. Yeah I mean, I looked at the price of the game, $3500 for all the DLC, so what it costs $40 per module? you need several to do any real scenario that isn't completely barebones. So you're looking at hundreds spent, minimum. And I watch many of his videos, maybe you should too because they're filled with DCS bugs, still love them, though.
@superregera799 who says you have to buy more than one module? One module can keep you entertained for months, you do realise you don't need to pay for a module for another person to use it or have it as an asset in the mission right?
@superregera799 What bugs did you find in this video? Every game has bugs, especially one as intricate as dcs, but they aren't as prevalent as you say. I have thousands of hours so I know what I'm talking about compared to you.
Once and for all there Cap...it's pronounced SEED for SEAD...not SEA-ADD...for fucks sake!
I have many friends in the military, some forward observers, jtacs, air warfare controllers. It is see-add and dee-add. Look up nato brevity phonetics.
These Houthi didn't have an active air defence and if so they were not active in defending the air space. It was a walk park. If you are going to an reactment please do it correctly.
As a computer nerd having worked with computers for over 40 years, I cannot help but cringe every time you refer to "AI". There is no AI involved in this system. It's just a simulator, albeit a fancy one! AI is just a buzzword that people have been throwing around for the past few years to make things look more "intelligent" than they really are. But no AI is involved.
Well, AI is what anything the computer controls as a unit in this game, and pretty much any other. The developers themselves refer to it as AI. It's simply the term for non controllable units.
You guys are still beating up on these cave dwellers? 🤣
It's easier than looking after your own people
