Inspired by the 1988 classic “Red Storm Rising”, command a nuclear submarine in a desperate attempt to prevent “mutually assured destruction” when the Cold War gets hot and WWIII begins.
You will be tasked with intercepting convoys, amphibious landings, insertion missions and battling it out with enemy warships, submarines and aircraft. Thankfully, an arsenal of wire-guided torpedoes, anti-ship and cruise missiles and the occasional SEAL team are on board to keep the Iron Curtain at bay. - เกม
Hey, Wolfpack345: A little tip I learned from an ex-submariner who also plays the game is that you really want to do when shooting missiles at warships is shoot two, and have one Harpoon set to “Pop-Up” and the other set to “Surface Skim”. This is because the one popping up will often become the primary focus of missile defense since it is raising up, easier to paint on radar IRL and in the game. Also, if you shoot the pop-up first followed by the skimmer on the same target spot, both will end up reaching the target at the same time if the defenses miss since the Pop-Up is flying a longer distance to the target by… popping up… and the Skimmer is going on a straight line. Pop-Up also means plunging fire on impact, since top armor is usually thinner and has less of a glance angle. Hope this info helps!
I read about this in the novelisation of Tom Clancy's SSN game, but it was not explained what was happening. I now understand.
Ah. Almost a vertical and aerial version of the "Anvil" torpedo plane attack from days of yore.
great tip!
Looking at the internet giving away military strategy again... like when Airforce blatantly said air defence missiles have a cockpit bias.
Seeing cold waters stuff makes me more excited for sea power
Completely agreed.
Me too
When it comes out 😂
@@OperatorAegea lol
IS IT EVER COMING OUT!
Commanded by the greatest Seawolf captain in history, Lt. Commander Thomas Dodge, who would always say, “Welcome aboard.”
Down Periscope!
SO MUCH THIS! Excellent movie, even SubBrief thought its quite accurate.
@@MoparNewportit's not a movie, it's the most accurate documentary ever made about the US Nuclear Navy.
@tspencer227 i certainly cannot verify that but if retired submariners say so, good enough for me!
Someone find Bachman and launch his ass out a torpedo tube!
What an intro! Wolfpack is on his editing game
Thanks!
With a intro like that, I can already tell this series is gonna be fucking awesome. Keep it up wolfpack with the high quality content!
it only gets better, wolfpack deserves more subs for this much effort.
Thanks! :)
@@Hugh-sg9js I sea what you did there... :D
Superb intro, loved it!
@@Wolfpack345 Yea ngl, having a little narrative of whats actively going on in the war would be awesome lol
Wtf I was JUST rewatching your 1984 nato campaign 😂
Glad you have something new to watch :)
Harpoons & other missiles do much better against support vessels then they do against warships. Try doing 2 legs of target acquisition then fire your Mk48 when you have a track not directly in front of your sub but not too angled where you lose the wires. This way you can fire ADCAPs outside of their sonar range and again you'll do 2 legs, the first one will bring the trop out in front of your boat then turn it parallel to the targets track, after a min or so (depending on fuel) turn the trop to target. This will help in that the enemy will think your boat fired down the line they acquired the trop at, when in reality your ship is 3-5k away from that spot. In doing this you'll almost never need the MOS.
Yeah I was thinking the MK-48s could have wiped most of that task force out.
He most likely did it for show
I remember him doing something close to that in his 1984 Narwhal campaign, which means it does work. I guess he's just putting on a show, like Pikillo over here says.
SCS sadly isn't as deep as NA is, because if it was you would literally not need the MOSS. It's super easy to dodge Mk-48's in the newer soviet SSN's.
Torps are the best way to go, because of the evasive tricks you can do with them. Just takes more time and patience.
For future reference, it's much better to use your ADCAPs against warships, especially those that are particularly designed with the ASW role in mind (Frigates and Destroyers). You give your position pretty much completely away as soon as you fire missiles while submerged, but with torpedoes you can manually swim them out to points away from the sub and steer them in from multiple directions, keeping your own position much harder to determine.
I had this question exactly, thanks!
Okay that intro was the greatest cold waters intro I've ever seen. That was awesome.
Wolfpack again showing how his videos improve with every video/series, with an intro like that this series is gonna be a banger
It's insane. I think he is mixing with DCS
Good to see you doing a new Cold Waters series. These are always fun to watch.
Thanks Jay!
Sure they are!
I was out to sea with the Abraham Lincoln, CVN-72 in 2000! How cool is this episode! Thank you Brother! It was always in the back of our minds that we could be attacked. It was hard times and good times being out to sea....
I'm sure you already know this but mk48s have ludicrous range, so it's usually best to take out the SAM equipped ships before harpooning the merchants. If that sounds too boring then the mod.3 688 that comes with the SCS campaign has VLS if you wanna play a missile game
+ Those Mk.48s are one hit one kill beasts. Honestly, its just best to mk48 all of the enemy warships then harpoon the transports/merchants
He's probably dumping the initial load of Harpoons you start the game with to avoid wasting time in port.
It's smart to do that on the first mission, since if you die, eh who cares? Just restart until you get it right.
Holy Moly what an intro!
Absolutely loved it.
So immersive, hats off!
It was my lifelong dream to become a submariner. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with a mental illness and it’s a immediate disqualification from any branch in the armed forces. So videos/games like this makes that failed dream much more real lmao
PSA: Use the F and G keys to select the next/previous tube without moving your cursor. Very useful for firing snapshots and missile salvoes, especially in Dotmod with enemy SAMs rendering single missiles and staggered salvoes next to useless, double-especially in the SCS campaign where the evasion window is so narrow.
I have an updated version of the campaign files that switches the player's homeport from Guam to Okinawa, cuts down on the frankly egregious transit time in this campaign if you're interested 🤙
I love your cold waters videos! Can't wait to see this series through!
Thank you!
Yasssss! It was your Cold Waters content that helped me discover you, Wolfpack. Glad to see a return to it!
I always love the little bit of roleplaying you do by setting a stage and reason for the conflict. It's such a nice touch, this intro was incredible.
As a Submariner myself, this was a fantastic episode and an amazing intro to this series and is somewhat similar and now relevant to the current situation that is happening in the South China Sea. That shot from bow on seeing the Seawolf go down was awesome! I'm imaging myself going through the hole process of submerging the ship just from that shot. Also the fact that you picked the Seawolf is awesome because those boats are the absolute amazing and a very unique boat considering that are only 3 in the entire world. Anyway Job Well done with this episode and the intro! Can't wait to see more!
Some tips and some fun facts: I'd recommend using torpedoes more regularly as not to risk the ship more, but then again going out of the books makes this more interesting and awesome! Also if you wanted to replay the South China Sea in some other ships, you can manually add the ships into the campaign that you want to choose. I'm currently going through a pretty interesting theoretical situation where the Virginia Class is built WAY ahead of schedule and gets thrown into the South China Sea to see what's capabilities are. Using a Virginia class in the SCS 2000 campaign is pretty awesome and interesting to say the least.
Retired Navy CPO submariner here. When I retired in 1997 the Seawolf was the new thing getting ready to go. It's a shame they were too expensive to mass produce. Fine piece of equipment.
Really enjoy Wolfpack's series. I haven't play Cold Waters for about a year .. I might fire it up soon for a replay.😊
Always good to cross paths with another STS (SS)!
The way you narrativize your let's plays are one of my favorite aspects of your videos.
We have been BLESSED with more cold waters! Thank you!
nice to have cold waters back. and in a 2000s setting. looking forward to the rest of the series
It's always fantastic to see your little bits of roleplay segments in all of your videos!
The Seawolf is such a beast. Almost over the top.
Wolfpack345 and submarine sims… you couldn’t ask for a more entertaining combination!
Love the fact that the F-14s taking off from the carrier are from VF-103 :D
The mix of DCS World and Cold Waters in the intro has earned you a sub good sir! Great work!
I love your cold waters videos. TheMightyJingles recomended you several years back and your cold waters and new gates of hell series are a treat to watch. Keep it up Wolfpack!
Wolfpack: "There was a Kilo out there??? I had no idea!"
Me casually seeing target S8 hugging the tender for the last 10 minutes or so of the battle: (-V-).
The Kilo is probably the one you hit with that ghost harpoon too.
Man, between the USS Seawolf and HMAS Rankin the chinese navy sure had a bad time during fall of the year 2000 lol
This is your magnum opus. Very well edited and produced. Love the intro with some DCS SC action! The 'Cat is my favorite kite to fly
Great Intro... I concur with the comments about your tactics. I would have used the ADCAPS (firing below the layer) to take out the warships first, then fired the TASMs at the main target.
My prayers have been heard!!! A new Wolfpack CW series!!! Thank You Sir Wolfpack :)
I played Red Storm Rising back in the day, and these videos take me back. Awesome content!
I don't know how detailed the sensor profiles in this game are, but IRL if you orient your boat North/South it creates a smaller magnetic profile for MAD gear to pick up.
Just a bit of trivia. 🙂
Didn't realise how much I'd missed cold waters. Nice to see it back.
What the hell, last night I was literally looking up Cold Waters on youtube to see if anyone was doing a series...Thank you for this!
I miss seeing Jive Turkey doing Cold Waters, but Wolfpack is just as good!
God Damnit, I waited for this! Cold Waters by Wolfpack is what we NEEDED!
I think you missed when new contact Sierra 8 was announced. That must have been the Kilo. I've found the South China sea campaign to be tricky as you'll get tracks on all the surface ships, and as soon as you launch against them, the diesel sub you didn't detect counter fires a torp back at you. I tend to use the Mk 48s more, as I can never get the Harpoons to hit, unless I've sunk all the warships, and the only thing left are the defenseless tankers and merchants. I once fired a spread of 4 Harpoons at one of the little patrol boats. 3 were decoyed and the 4th shot down. Interesting to see a different approach.
Wolfpack, my buddy, this is above and beyond even for you. Awesome cinematography and intro.
Plus, long have I awaited the best skipper in the best sub (sorry Virginia class).
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it :) thanks for watching!
Awesome!!!
Never boring, and the storyline format makes it like you are there.
Very thorough, keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks again!!!!!
Currently paused at 2:15, just had to give props to you. What an amazing intro you made! The China campaign is probs the only campaign I havent played myself or even watched someone else play. Very underrated campaign, I'm looking forward to seeing cold waters content I havent seen before!
HELL YES not only new sub content, but it's Cold Waters!
Thanks for pumping the awesome content. I don't watch every video but I do follow a series to the end when I start it.
The amount of narrative you put into your videos is simply amazing.
And now we are back wit another submarine series o yessa
YES! I love the SCS campaign in cold waters and I'm excited to see you play it.
Launching missiles will almost always give away your position. Therefore a) be sure to retract your towed before you fire so that you can dodge at full speed safely, and b) it's usually worth it to pop the RADAR and confirm positions and IDs just before launching.
Thanks Wolfpack for the seawolf serie !!! Never thought id see the day 🔥🔥 great job as always
Nice video.
Thank you for bringing these series to YT
You do a amazing job of Being a commander
issuing orders and such
makes it feel that much more real.
Thank you for what you put in to making these videos.
Thank you! I try to keep it immersive
These series just keep getting better and better
Just found your channel and this is the first episode of awesomeness I have seen. I am sold lock, stock, and barrel... subscribed!
Hell yeah, Cold Waters was first series I watched from you. Havent missed a thing since. Keep up the excellent work.
Yes! Feels like I've been waiting forever for more Cold Waters from you. You make the best videos about this game :D
Getting home from work and seeing a new cold waters series made my day! So excited and can’t wait for the next part!!!
It is a good day when Wolfpack plays Cold Waters. I absolutely love the News Bulletin intro!
Oh I've been waiting and waiting a new sup campaign thank you bro this series is going to be the highlight of my TH-cam playlist 🙏
Love your content Wolfpack, and im stoked for the new series. I find all your videos entertaining, but sea battles are by far my favorite (with that said I was heart broken with the Stalingrad campaign ended). Keep up the good work man :) also, if you think of it gove the developers of taskforce: admirals my props. What an audacious project!
Hell yeah!!! I've been waiting for a series like this for ages. This is going to be mega. Thanks wolfpack really needed this
This brings back memories of playing SSN and 688i for hours
If you wonder why seawolf has twice as many torps and tubes, s LA. They just added second torp room on bottom deck.
Welcome back to Cold Waters Wolfpack. It's finally time that you play as the Seawolf sub. Judging from the intro I can tell that this is going to be a action packed series. Good luck on your next mission with your infiltration. God speed and happy hunting as the wolf of the sea.
Very nice episode, Mr Pack, love the extra world-building you put in.
Great effort put into the intro with the use of dcs,you can tell a lot of time went into it,great job!
Yay, more Cold Waters content!
hell yesssssssss been waiting for this one for ages!!!
Hey wolfpack, love your vids keep up the good work. But, I need more of this series like yesterday haha- thank you for your hard work man, you are one of the creators that keeps me from needing cable ❤
Glad to see some Coldwater videos! Thank you
Wow man. Love the quality these days. Keep it up! You also always inspire playthroughs of my own with mods and games like this. DOT mod here I come
Thanks! Happy hunting
You actually had the Kilo on sonar. S8 was showing. Lovely new series, looking forward to se it unfold.
I always hated when a carrier was parked at that pier 0:01, I couldn't go to my favorite snorkeling spot and the base exchange was probably already raided. 🤣 Great to see a new CW series!
Lets go we back on Cold Waters
Wow, that intro was beyond amazing....
I've been watching the old Cold Waters playlists. So glad you're doing another campaign.
I'm just saying this now, if you start making intros like this to every video, your views will skyrocket. That was genuinely phenomenal, and should definitely occur more.
I sat yesterday wondering when/if you'd do a Cold Waters video again.. And here you are! Wonderful!
What an interesting strategy you're using.
You're not making it easy for yourself
but you're sure making it entertaining for all of us.
Hey Wolfpack! Great to see you back at making cold water videos. Good to see different vessels this campaign
Nice DCS scene from the intro btw. Really have been waiting for this campaign. Thank you! 👍
Here's an interesting strat: If you're careful, you can actually use your ballast tanks to dodge torpedos. You're gonna have a hard time outturning them, but the chinese torpedos can't go up against the speed at which your ballast tanks can raise and lower your sub. Takes a bit of training to master, though.
Excellent gameplay! These series are my favourite. Run silent run deep and godspeed.
I love music for this game...so many cool memories.
Thx for yet another exciting episode !
Excellent engagement with very little retaliation...
One hell of a submarine !!!!
Oh a new series about Cold Waters? Cool. I won't miss this one.
I'm so glad you took up a more modern sub sim series! Love the Sea Wolf!
Aaayyyy!!! DCS as an opening! There’s an extra smile I wasn’t expecting! Thanks Wolfpack, very cool to see one of my favorite games mixed in with another
Always so well done. Nice work @Wolfpack345
The mighty Seawolf!!!! Great content as ever!
Oh this is great.Will love to follow this series!
What a beginning. Very well done!
Love me some Wolfpack. He talks to the computer like he is in command and is so polite! LOL!
Love these campaigns. Thanks for doing what you do, cheers!
I’ve been waiting for something exactly like this that you Wolfpack
Love your Cold Waters episodes. Glad to see a new series coming in.
Hell yes. New sub content from Wolfpack is always welcome!
My favorite sub game thanks man, good to see its return to the channel.
I love your Cold Waters campaigns. Let'see how the Seawolf does! Keep up the good work!!!
