I believe we usually have an Arleigh Burke along for the ride as it has anti ballistic missile capability which until the T45s are upgraded we dont have.
@@tomsoki5738 From what I read The Aster block 1 upgrade already implemented can intercept medium range ballistic missiles . UK and France currently working on a block 2 upgrade that can intercept long range BMs.
They can detect and intercept ballistic missiles within the ships firing ranges, when the ballistic missile enters its terminal stage - most warships can, I believe even the Type 23s. They're proof against future anti-ship ballistic missiles and HGVs, only within the last couple of years have anti-ship ballistic missiles been a thing. The problem is they cannot provide regional ballistic missile defence as the Aster 30 doesn't have the range to intercept at midpoint. The Aster 30 Block I will be procured to provide the Type 45 with a short range BMD capability. I presume the future Type 83 frigate will be equipped with about 72-96 VLS cells to hold additional Aster 30 Block IIs, which are comparable to the SM-3 that the Burkes use. That's up from essentially 54 cells aboard the upgraded Type 45s.
Providing the Prop shafts have all been properly lubricated then it shouldnt be an issue. Love this war game, nice to see the Royal Navy in simulation. Big shout out to all at Portsmouth Dockyard!!!
I quite like the Type 31 concept, now that it's confirmed that it'll have VLS cells installed. It strikes me as a much more versatile, much more well-armed, much sturdier & survivable steel-hulled version of what the Littoral Combat Ship was supposed to be. The Mk110 Bofors main gun may be relatively "small" at 57mm, but with the 220 rpm rate of fire, the amount of lead it can throw is really incredible. At intermediate to close ranges, it actually provides more than twice the firepower of any 5" gun, and combined with that pair of Mk 4 Bofors 40mm guns, I can't imagine any swarms of any kind of anything making it through.
@@FunnyQuailMan but they're not exactly fishing boats lol just imagine 200 speed boats firing back with 107 mm mrls(practically rockets) and bow mounted dshk 12.7 mm hmg, manpads, and mk110 is worthless when boats keep a 10 mile distance at extreme speeds. in practical terms; us and allies have never been able to hit a speed boat in 50 years
As an American looking from a distance, Its crazy whats been done to the UK Navy. We're depending on you and the Aussies to have our backs in a South China Sea dustup - right now it isnt looking promising....
It's tragic. And here (Germany) it's even worse, as you will have seen this week. But of course a capable military would require some national backbone, which is really, really missing here. But hey, anything to stop going back to 1939, right? Even if it means being virtually defenceless and abandoning our commitments to NATO...
Cap & GR Team...a suggestion. For deconfliction of missile targets, is it possible to get the naval ships to "dribble out" missile launches?? Fire 4 or 5 missiles, wait for detonation on target, then launch another 4 or 5? This would only be for surface to surface engagement due to time between closing ranges but would ensure much more accurate targeting and less waste of missiles. Also, wouldn't a helo or 3 from the Arleigh Burke as an option be more fun for your pilots and add a bit of a change up for your spectators?
That seems so much like keeping a stiff upper lip British thing to do, it almost feels like it could become a flaw that could be exploitable. It doesn't seem like good war strategy and planning to not take all appropriate actions to prevent loss of life and material just to save pride.
The usual grouping for an aircraft carrier is two anti-air ships, at least two anti-submarine ships, an auxiliary/supply ship, and a submarine wandering around somewhere.
To be honest this kind of half utilisation of capability is much more realistic to what is actually deployed in real life, and I would like to see more of this in future scenarios.
The "Flying with Cap" soundtrack should be an EDM or Rammstein beat with "CAUTION! CAUTION! ALTITUDE! ALTITUDE!" in that robotic female voice. Maybe throw in some breaks with "PULL UP! PULL UP!" to make it spicier.
Didn't the Royal Navy remove all the miniguns and replace them with 50cal brownings? That sounds like a downgrade but I guess that depends on how much ammo the miniguns had available compared to the 50cals.
Would be interesting to see this as a Time on Target attack, with shore-launched antiship missiles and a mix of F-14s/MiG-29s sweeping ahead of the FACs at the same time.
Kinda wish CH would create damage models for the boats splitting in two with debris and guys flying through the air. I wonder if he would do it for a specific price?
Iranians are more clever than we give them credit..... many times during live fire exercises the cunning Iranian trainee targets the ship/aircraft towing the target..... scoring a double kill with one missile.

You know, it would be interesting to do a modernized F4G1 from 60's/70's Britain with modern missiles and AESA radar if that's possible to mod, and see if it could contend with modern fighters after being up-gunned. I also wonder if a modernized F4G1 could beat an F35B in a dogfight with modern heat seekers and/or guns only. That may be a really fun match to watch!

A simple way to "visualize" distances without waypoints or sensors: if something is 10 degrees down from you, distance in nm is equal to your altitude above it in thousands of feet. If you stay at 7,000 MSL in this scenario, boats will be around 7 nm out when they hit the 10 degree line on the HUD. Yes, mavericks will tell you the distance while you're peeping through the screen, but not as manly or cool. That said, relying on a line on the HUD is kind of reddit-tier. Real men know a couple of different angles and simply eyeball the distance with sufficient accuracy.
new high-speed vessels joined the IRGC Navy, which had a different design from the previous vessels and were equipped with laser-guided missiles instead of rockets. In addition, a new generation of IRGC speed vessels equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles with a range of 180 km was also unveiled.
I'm sure the Americans are quivering at the thought of your imported speedboats in their Arleigh Burkes and F-35s. I'm sure they lose sleep over the thought of some Iranian bloke from a cave coming towards their ship with a homemade machine gun.
You'd think Iran would be able to provide better air cover for their boats. Also, why no missile attacks? Iran's main thing nowadays is missiles and drones.
The Type 45 currently has little to no defence against such a swam attack. Had idiot Cameron's government not cancelled the RADAR guided smart airburst capability of Type 45s main gun - we could have dealt with threats like this cheaply and easily. As it stands Type 45s are sitting ducks.

Cap - you should have maintained more forward speed on approach to the carrier. You may have been heavy, but with air over the wings you would have had more lift and would have survived. You came in at 82 degrees nozzle and let the airspeed decay too much.
The DS30 would have a much better chance of hitting a boat at range - shame the criminally underfunded Type 45s are saddled with pointless old B models - should have upgraded to DS30M ten years ago.
Issue is none of them would since All of Iranian attack boats are armed with antiship missiles with minimum range of 30 km not this comical rocket lunching version that is depicted in DCS. So none of this crap will happen in real life they would just emerge from one of hidden bases in islands in gulf shoot their missiles and go back to the safety of their base in minutes using their speed .
Unfortunately I don't think DCS has the computing power to more accurately deconflict as AEGIS would irl With targeting in a scenario like this one with bunched targets kind of like the missile Salvo from one of your more recent scenarios the PK will be a bit lower
It's also not modeling a dozen other factors in a realistic engagement for example the multiple drones and helicopters that the fleet would employ in its defense, also I suspect a captain who used a nsm on a speed boat would get a stern talking to by command.

spear 3 which is basically just a upgraded brimstone will be integrated on the f35 when it enters service
Glider pa en rakmacka !!!!!! LOL
do you have the link of your f35 mod ?
If you ask me how much ships should be required to escort a carrier, I'd say 4 destroyers, 1 cruiser and 1 submarine
Did It All For The Nookie!
90's nu-metal best metal?
I wonder if things would be different if the attack boats had a more random attack pattern??
Fancy good Boom Boom yes.
Angry tomcats are never a good thing I honestly thought they would be a bigger problem
In reality this would be a Wildcat's bread and butter
Supercapitan is it possible to model the 35’s tower countermeasure system?
Trying...
I challenge your entire team 😮
Is Grumpnic MIA ?
Only once or twice per month ATM.
No helicopters? Would they not just launch wildcats?
Revenge of the Boghammars!
At 1st it would have to get to the Persian Gulf, and that would seem to be an impossible task atm since it breaks down at the start of every voyage 😅
sea ceptor can be used for anti ship against small vessels
I was not aware.
@@grimreapers i do not think alot of people are aware but if u go on the mbda data sheet for sea ceptor it says it has the ability to engage small high-speed surface craft
Fired from what? Type 45 doesn't have Sea Ceptor.
@LondonSteveLee the in game mod they use for the type 45 had a 24 cell vls for sea ceptor fitted in front of the current vls
@@adamchalmers8378 Yes, in the game. Shame it's not reality.
That Mk 8 gun on the Type 45 is way to fast. Rate of fire is 25 shells per minute not 120.
Iranian boats: HELLO THERE!
Carrier: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What about 60 Houthi submarines?
Do they have 60 submarines? Doubtful.
Maybe you were kidding?
What happened to Violet?
Left DCS.
The helo's are the anti boat defence, not the F-35's. And no type 31's with their programmable guns? Shame.

oh, i liked The Diplomat. i think it could've used a little less relationship and sexual tension type drama, but I'm on the ace spectrum, so i think that of a lot of shows. i would like to make a correction to something you say in your intro, though. the ship wasn't transiting; they were on open water, moving planes around the flight deck, apparently preparing for flight ops (this is the literal first scene of the series, so i don't consider this a spoiler). you said something else that was wrong, too, but i don't want to correct it, as you're clearly still on the first few episodes, and i don't want to be here handing out spoilers.

"Generous Amy" I LOL'ed.
Please tell me that you are not saying "Generous Amy" instead of Fat Amy because your are trying to be P.C., or, even worse, that you are trying to avoid being kicked off TH-cam.
@@waynevan5069idk why they call her fat, she's not fat, more like a seal, all muscle under that taut skin
@@waynevan5069Huh? I didn't say it, Cap did! i'm guessing it was more of a joke about the steps people take to avoid being kicked off yt or, as Cap often jokes "aaand....de-monitized'. Why do you think I LOLed at it?
Having some de-$ problems from YT so switching to Generous to avoid "fat-shaming".
@@grimreapers for realz? I hope it is sarcasm
No need to worry, UK ships seem to have difficult moving about in general these days. No place like home!
They do fantasy not simulation
i love these jokes as if this wasn't literally the exact reason two carriers were built. One had a minor fault (which could have been ignored, but was worked on for the sake of redundancy), so the other was sent instead. THAT IS PRECISELY WHY WE BUILT TWO
@redicity5884 Might have built 2 carriers so one could be sent to the Middle East while the other is deployed to the Far East?
wondering if the Iranians would fire Hoot torpedoes from those boats?
Video Valued by Valued Viewer!
BTW Iran has anti-ship cruise missile fastboats....this isn't 2010 anymore
Shhhh...This is a nafo cope channel. Ostriches stick their heads in the sand, these guys make digital fairytales where they always win.
11:30 bwahahaha what was that from again?

@@grimreapers thanks SuperCap
they are fast boats with missiles, not Kamakazi boats
My wife and I, Cap. It’s “my wife and I.” That is all. I have been loving the training server I started using this week. Can’t wait to fly with you guys!
Join us on Sunday or in the Burner . Was it you with mic issues?
@@conan670431 yes. That’s me. No sound at all unfortunately. But at least have discord on my phone to hear you guys.
@@conan670431 I will be hanging out fairly regularly. Retired now and getting the hang of it.
It's cute but the attack boats only armed with hmgs? Not realistic
Why would you use F35's in this kind of mission, where stealth is not a necessity? Try this mission again, but then with an attack plane that can carry the MOST missiles. (F18?), and allow also the CIWS-es on these ships to do it's thing.
QE doesn't have hornets. It's limited to Harriers and F35B's.
UK never had F18.
The premise is stupid because it relies on our carriers being capable of moving
Exactly 😂

@@redicity5884 There are rumours that the Prince of Wales is going to be sold
@@redicity5884 yes that's why we built two. Not so that we could project power across the globe...
@@redicity5884 The problem is that the 2nd one isn't any more reliable than the first. UK Navy can't keep up the maintenance.
the QE couldn't be sunk from a missile to mid ships.
