I loved seeing the "Survivability Onion" in action! detection, missile interceptors, point defense lasers, evasion, and next we'll see the results of the "inner layers" of armor and damage control though it seems grim for JR
Phenomenal. Good call obfuscating the faces after previous feedback. Being a one man CGI army is hard, but beating the uncanny valley on photoreal humans is harder. Amazing work!!
I've genuinely heard some people say that realistic space combat cannot be truly engaging or suspenseful, I believe this video singlehandedly disproves that notion. Great work, easily worthy of a movie.
Jesus. There’s a reason why horror movie directors make the best action movies. It’s all about the tension and anticipation. Amazing job, this had me rapt.
I want to add that you can rewatch this half a dozen times and still pick up on new things, which is in my opinion one of the greatest qualities of a work of fiction. Everything is deliberate and thus has specific base reasoning as to why it’s done in a certain way. It adds a layer of depth you can’t really “fake” with showy sort of Hollywood style action you see a lot nowadays.
Watching this as an english speaking person feels like trying to follow the attack hack scene in GITS 2: Innocence. Just so many people speaking with lots of captions and so, so much stuff happening. It's definitely exciting but it makes my pea brain spin inside my skull lol. But congratulations on making space combat that, so far, is the most realistic I've seen also have lots of drama.
Don't worry, I speak Chinese and I still had to re-watch it a few times to get the hang of everything, technical mil jargon is always going to be hard to understand unless you hear it a lot
Its crazy to think these missiles could have been fired hours ago. Like it would only need to launch, redirect its trajectory, burn to correct course, and only just cruise on minimal power until it got within a few hundreds or thousands of km for evasive maneuvers. The enemy fleet could be detected, its course predicted, and be shot at hours, days, or years before rendezvous. And if the missiles were coated in radar absorbing materials and its heat captured, they wouldn't be able to detect it until it was too late. It's the Black Dynamite strategy! "Ah ha! I threw that shit before I walked into the room!"
you know normally the idea of decoys, especially decoy missiles, in space combat seems kind of silly given how hard it is to hide pretty important and telling info about mass, acceleration, energy use etc. but i like the idea of having decoys that aren't really meant to be believable copies of the actual payload, just meaningless distractions that waste a couple seconds of the defending enemy's time
Loved the easter egg of the missile hit creaking sound from CODA. Overall this is still amazing work! Had to watch it a few times to really prase through all the neat details. The actively cooled stealth missiles, the multi-axis attack, the decoys to draw interceptors, the frantic laser CWIS towards the end. Beutiful!
Yeah, i always hate it when giant space-battleships are trowing torpedos at each other in a distance of a few miles and trying to tell you this is the right way to do this. And fighters in space are alway flying like warplanes on earth. What a BS. But this serie is the thing they had to go. Love it!! Thank you. Abo
Wow...now this is missile warfare in space! Reminds me a lot of the "Dance of the Vampires" in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising, where the American carrier fleet was faced with a Soviet anti-ship missile saturation attack. Keep the good work! 太帅了。。。这才是硬科幻设定下的导弹战（卫星战？）！有一些《红色风暴》里面美国航母编队遭受饱和反舰导弹攻击的感觉。为下一部杰作拭目以待！
The tension in this scene is better than most space battle movies and tv shows i've watched, incredible, i'mm just speechless i want to let you know the greatness of your work, ill be waiting for more, like man, awesome
Alongside Children of a Dead Earth, I feel this would pair well with Aurora 4x, with the box launchers we see at 1:22, displaying how these vessels might launch their payloads from external mounts. The action felt like a smooth flow from the detection up through the impacts. Just great stuff.
Knowing nothing about COADE, stumbling upon this is so amazing. The attention to detail is insane and the cgi is really great.(especially for being one person)
Awesome as hell. The soundtrack and panicked voices makes my heart stop, and the clock was a very interesting artistic touch. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see what happens next

Amazing work. Feels like CoaDE drama. And god darn I love detail at 3:17 where it detect incoming laser and trying to accumulate and dissipate heat over wider area by spining. CW laser is it?
I wish CoaDE reached this level of detail at some point... Or maybe some other game/sim in its stead. In fact, maybe letting the players run their fantasy wild was a wrong move, it's possible that what we need is exactly pre-designed tech pieces like these. At least, as long as they perform properly (should be easier to teach the AI to handle standard equipment and employ it against other standard equipment the human player controls).
@@getsideways7257 Yeah honestly I tried making one myself as my first game but kinda stalling, problem is - I have no freakin idea how to make this more fun than CoaDE already is or nebulous fleet command is.

Some limit to reality is needed to make things fun, but I don't know if I can ever pull of something that never been tried before while being realistic and yet still fun..
@@jupiterbjy While you might be right about the "erosion cannons" or whatever they are called, there is still a chance they can be beaten (with some kind of an "active foam" or whatnot). So, I'd say it's very much fine to stick with a certain set of tech (like what we see here or in Attack Vector: Tactical) and simply make a better and more elaborate version of CoaDE with some elements from Nebulous and possibly CMANO/Harpoon.

@@getsideways7257 "not being much of a game" heyyy good to see one whose in same boat! cause I absolutely loved spending days studying how to make a good railgun in CoaDE. If I were to have no issue with funding honestly I wanted to keep it pushing but well there's limit with what I can do while trying to keep my life going meanwhile - so I postponed what I was developing (literally only realistic ship RCS and engine physics is implemented tho - should be somewhere in my terrible vids) wishing for better future. And uhhh hey you can see my comments - cause I can't see all my 2 comments lmao Seems like YT doesn't like my comments and censoring out for some reason, been like this for year now
Well the ships do have railguns ( it’s what the cannon shooting at the enemy fleet is ) but it looks more realistic and there actually isn’t a gap in the middle of the rails !
Some of those scenes would do great as wallpapers, please consider publishing some officially for better quality than screenshotting the video, thank you.
Really good. One thing on dialogue. When repeating a communication you don't say, "repeat." The phrase is, "I say again." Repeat simply means fire again with the same targeting.
I did the initial draft of English translation, however English is not my first language, and despite I've been in Canada for very long time, my vocabulary is not very good. Also I'm not familiar with English/NATO Naval call outs. I couldn't find a reliable and complete reference. If you know these details, and if it is not classified or restricted for export (public doc can be restricted, too, some DCS developers got arrested for this), you can reach out to author and offer help, or reach to me if you need Chinese translation to help communicate.
@@8749236Thanks for your great work to make it accessible to English speakers! Could you suggest including some sort of indication of side/allegiance/team in the captions themselves? It could be placing the logo of the organization the speaker belongs to in front of each line, or color tinting the captions to indicate the same, etc. Even in the case of “unknown” groups, a placeholder indicating that would be fine. Just some little something to help the viewer follow which side of an engagement we are listening to.
This is true from a terrestrial point of view, but I don't think US Military radio etiquette really matters hundreds of years into the future, especially in a fictional setting such as this.
@@docb8324 The type of engineering in these spacefrarmes isn't hundreds of years in the future. However, the fundamental concept of radio comms about clear concise language won't really change. "I say again" has its own sound that is much harder to confuse for something else than does "repeat."
@@johnsteiner3417 indeed, though the idea that "repeat" will be misunderstood as "fire again" when that only really applies to and is understood to be referencing artillery and fires is a bit of a stretch.
Space battles like this, where it's hours or even days of maneuvering into position, scouting and finally launching an attack. Followed by a lot of waiting and then only a few minutes of intense and adrenaline fueled combat is what I love. Also nice detail with the missile launch. Launching dozens or hundreds of missiles and having them sync and move in a group rather than firing them in sequence and in a line to be easily intercepted is a perk you can do in space combat. So many sci-fi shows and books never use missiles and the physics and dynamics of space to their fullest.
What a great thing. It would be very interesting to hear some kind of creator commentary, your inspiration and ideas/materials for weapons and different systems!
I would like to have a proper breakdown of what happened. Like, why the optical sensors couldn't see the missiles earlier, why the flagship didn't start shooting earlier and why they weren't ripple firing.
The flagship offer to take on the role of sensor while JR intercept the missiles, this combined with the second wave of missiles employing active cooling caused them to be undetected until it's too late. What do you mean by ripple firing tho?
@@henrycooper3431 Ripple firing means launching a second wave of interceptors before the first wave has made contact. Just in case some of the first wave makes it through. This helps avoid the minimum intercept distance they ended up getting stuck with. The downside is that you expend more missiles.
@@Centauri902 The author put some of his settings of these ships on Bilibili. According to him, there are only 18*4 short-range defense missiles on the flagship (multi-task Patrol ship) and 18*2 short-range defense missiles on JR (frigate). They were designed for 'conflicts' near the asteroid, lacking long-range weapons for counterstrikes as well as enough DVs. That's why they only used 5 short-range 306Ks in anti-ship mode and railgun fire to disrupt their enemies. While their enemy's ships are well-prepared in the first place, not to mention they're warships disguised as patrol ships, that's why they could carry those heavy long-range torpedos. Using the author's own words, "The only way for those two Vesta ships to survive is to let the JR (laser frigates have more DVs) to escape in the first place, or else they will certainly die after the second or third wave of missiles". The enemy has not only enough short-range defense missiles but also probably 100 more attack missiles ready to fire, so it's useless to ripple firing.
@@Centauri902 JR is just a frigate with 18*2 missiles, one 5MW laser and eight 150KW laser turrets. Real LASER ATTACK SHIP in The Savage world setting looks like a laser pen with a scary 20MW laser cannon and 3*5MW turrets on it. If JR is an attack ship the Vesta forces might be able to hold long enough for space cruisers, railgun battleships, and missile carriers to arrive. But sadly it's not.
Amazing job this whole series! This is the best and hardest sci-fi I have ever seen. It would be awesome to see more episodes!:) If only it could be a game, similar to Children of Dead Earth but with this graphics and quality I would buy it defenetly!
The beat part of this is the quiet, in evry other video there would be massiv sound effects, but here it is quiet and it puts you on edge since all you hear is some music and the voices growing more and more paniced.

If I were to have no issue with funding honestly I wanted to keep it pushing but well there's limit with what I can do while trying to keep my life going meanwhile - so I postponed what I was developing (literally only realistic ship RCS and engine physics is implemented tho - should be somewhere in my terrible vids) wishing for better future.
And uhhh hey you can see my comments - cause I can't see all my 2 comments lmao
Seems like YT doesn't like my comments and censoring out for some reason, been like this for year now
Lots of interesting ideas shown here. Those large antiship missiles are scary
Oh yeah, finally!
Another part of masterpiece!
ПOГHAЛИ!
I've been working on something similar for a year or so now. Good to see you have continued!
So fucking cool man, the sound design is impeccable
Realism isin't better, *But it is nice.* I lived to see an realistic space battle without railguns
Well the ships do have railguns ( it’s what the cannon shooting at the enemy fleet is ) but it looks more realistic and there actually isn’t a gap in the middle of the rails !
Incredible work!
Some of those scenes would do great as wallpapers, please consider publishing some officially for better quality than screenshotting the video, thank you.
The music is great also, what is it?
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for the effort. These realistic space battles are wonderful!
I wish Children of a Dead Earth had better graphics, sigh-
serious children of a dead earth vibes
Really good. One thing on dialogue. When repeating a communication you don't say, "repeat." The phrase is, "I say again." Repeat simply means fire again with the same targeting.
I did the initial draft of English translation, however English is not my first language, and despite I've been in Canada for very long time, my vocabulary is not very good. Also I'm not familiar with English/NATO Naval call outs. I couldn't find a reliable and complete reference. If you know these details, and if it is not classified or restricted for export (public doc can be restricted, too, some DCS developers got arrested for this), you can reach out to author and offer help, or reach to me if you need Chinese translation to help communicate.
@@8749236Thanks for your great work to make it accessible to English speakers!
Could you suggest including some sort of indication of side/allegiance/team in the captions themselves? It could be placing the logo of the organization the speaker belongs to in front of each line, or color tinting the captions to indicate the same, etc.
Even in the case of “unknown” groups, a placeholder indicating that would be fine. Just some little something to help the viewer follow which side of an engagement we are listening to.
This is true from a terrestrial point of view, but I don't think US Military radio etiquette really matters hundreds of years into the future, especially in a fictional setting such as this.
@@docb8324 The type of engineering in these spacefrarmes isn't hundreds of years in the future. However, the fundamental concept of radio comms about clear concise language won't really change. "I say again" has its own sound that is much harder to confuse for something else than does "repeat."
@@johnsteiner3417 indeed, though the idea that "repeat" will be misunderstood as "fire again" when that only really applies to and is understood to be referencing artillery and fires is a bit of a stretch.
Hell yeah! I'm loving your work!
Amazing work!
Space battles like this, where it's hours or even days of maneuvering into position, scouting and finally launching an attack. Followed by a lot of waiting and then only a few minutes of intense and adrenaline fueled combat is what I love.
Also nice detail with the missile launch. Launching dozens or hundreds of missiles and having them sync and move in a group rather than firing them in sequence and in a line to be easily intercepted is a perk you can do in space combat. So many sci-fi shows and books never use missiles and the physics and dynamics of space to their fullest.
I was just watching the first video on SAVAGES again wondering if we'd get more, and this beauty just got recommended. Truly, a great week
Incredible job, the spacecraft interiors are awesome
Just amazing. I feel like you have captured a future that is terrifying and real.
What a great thing. It would be very interesting to hear some kind of creator commentary, your inspiration and ideas/materials for weapons and different systems!
another day another banger
Really cool. They should give you a full movie budget.
I would like to have a proper breakdown of what happened. Like, why the optical sensors couldn't see the missiles earlier, why the flagship didn't start shooting earlier and why they weren't ripple firing.
The flagship offer to take on the role of sensor while JR intercept the missiles, this combined with the second wave of missiles employing active cooling caused them to be undetected until it's too late.
What do you mean by ripple firing tho?
@@henrycooper3431 Ripple firing means launching a second wave of interceptors before the first wave has made contact. Just in case some of the first wave makes it through. This helps avoid the minimum intercept distance they ended up getting stuck with. The downside is that you expend more missiles.
@@Centauri902 The author put some of his settings of these ships on Bilibili. According to him, there are only 18*4 short-range defense missiles on the flagship (multi-task Patrol ship) and 18*2 short-range defense missiles on JR (frigate). They were designed for 'conflicts' near the asteroid, lacking long-range weapons for counterstrikes as well as enough DVs. That's why they only used 5 short-range 306Ks in anti-ship mode and railgun fire to disrupt their enemies. While their enemy's ships are well-prepared in the first place, not to mention they're warships disguised as patrol ships, that's why they could carry those heavy long-range torpedos. Using the author's own words, "The only way for those two Vesta ships to survive is to let the JR (laser frigates have more DVs) to escape in the first place, or else they will certainly die after the second or third wave of missiles". The enemy has not only enough short-range defense missiles but also probably 100 more attack missiles ready to fire, so it's useless to ripple firing.
@@Centauri902 JR is just a frigate with 18*2 missiles, one 5MW laser and eight 150KW laser turrets. Real LASER ATTACK SHIP in The Savage world setting looks like a laser pen with a scary 20MW laser cannon and 3*5MW turrets on it. If JR is an attack ship the Vesta forces might be able to hold long enough for space cruisers, railgun battleships, and missile carriers to arrive. But sadly it's not.
Magnificent!
You HAVE to make a playlist for all the music you used. I beg.
This video's needs more views ASAP! One of the best sci-fi animations I've ever seen on TH-cam
That was chilling as heck. Good work.
Really amazing work as always Fros7 I love to see it.
so this is what happens everytime i try the Battle of Psyche and fail miserably in CoaDE lol
Up there with Patlabor 2's interception scene, good stuff.
AMAZINGNES!!! Such coolness!!
Is there anywhere we would be able to find the background music? It's really good at adding to the tension
This was fantastic and very realistic. Amazing job. Would love you could make a pc game with these designs.
excellent
Amazing job this whole series! This is the best and hardest sci-fi I have ever seen. It would be awesome to see more episodes!:) If only it could be a game, similar to Children of Dead Earth but with this graphics and quality I would buy it defenetly!
This was worth the wait. Can’t wait to see how this escalates
Incredibly tense, I can't wait to see the full series!!! Great job!!!
Getting major PATLABOR 2 vibes from this
太帅了
sick
The beat part of this is the quiet, in evry other video there would be massiv sound effects, but here it is quiet and it puts you on edge since all you hear is some music and the voices growing more and more paniced.
Это пожалуй было самое реалестичное изображение космического боя из всех что я только видел. Жаль нет полнометражного фильма с таким же уровнем достоверности.
hell yeah this is epic asf
great work for sure !
this looks pretty cool
Missile: I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick!
Peak!!!
LETS GO !
The expanse energy. Love it.
great video.
Blender?
i love it!
Amazing!
Keep going!
Thx for the 11/10 video!
Wicked sick
This is awesome
oh my… very nice!
May I know the music soundtrack?
Lit Track
