You have to be pretty insecure with yourself if you are complaining about imaginary deaths. This is a game and it shows the effects of the programming of the game. They could be Jedi vs Sith, gorillas vs snake people, or children vs adults. It is all pretend and super fun to watch.
As a nagin, I am very offended by this comment. My grandfather fought in the second gorilla-naga war, and the horrors of that conflict cannot be understated.
NOOOO! Don't stop anything related to D-Day or anything else... Too many interesting things to both see DCS do its thing and GR try their experiments. The what ifs are what makes it fun and highlights new discussion points!
You can do as many D-Day missions as you want. I thoroughly enjoy them, and I'm pretty sure there plenty of fans out there that enjoy them as well. Cheers 🥂
No marines, as was said. The US marines were in the pacific theater fighting from Island to Island. WWII is the origin of superpower as a term for countries, meaning that you can fight two wars simoultaneously in two different theaters that are not connected. This is a reference to both the USSR and the USA fighting on both sides at the same time.
The USSR only fought in Europe against Germany. Only the Allied Army including many countries like Australia, Canada, Britain, and The American Army fought both hemispheres at once.
Who has issues with simulating D-day? TBH that is a load of nonsense. We're playing games like Bannerlord where huge 1000 v 1000 battles are simulated, way more cruel than any battle in WW2. Are these people butthurt by that too? Limiting people their thoughts is a worrying sign of where we are headed.
Dang! Imagine if the AC-130 had working targeting systems. Also it could be interesting to consider simulating if A-10 Warthogs could take out some LSTs before they can unload the Higgin's Crafts. And then maybe later have other A-10s attack some of the first wave landing crafts, and then another group of A-10s attack the landed troops. (But this would require the simulation to take into account the destruction of each LST having an affect on the number of Higgin's Crafts to be spawned, and also make the number of infantry to be spawned to be dependent on the number of landing crafts that are able to reach the beach)
"D-Day re-enactments cause PTSD type effects for our viewers, so for our last D-Day scenario we will choose the most brutal and shocking method of slaugher possible!"
There were 17,000 Royal Marines involved in the D-day landings and there were some USMC contingents aboard the ships. However, the expeditionary role that the USMC played in the Pacific was mainly given to US Army Rangers in Europe.
Really need the Fleet with their AA batteries for this one. My thinking would be by this point with the sheer amount of Radar aimed guns the aircraft would not have lasted long.
Later that day the largest ships beached and dozers made roads leading up the beach. Dad drove a radio Jeep for an artillery battalion. Said he never got his feet wet. He ran wiring all the way across France.

It is hard for me to believe that the grand children if those who actually stormed the beaches are now complaining about a GAME doing a NOT FOR REAL simulation without getting their feelings hurt and complaining and whining about it. CAP do not ever give in the snowflake complaints. This kind of thing is the very reason we all love the Grim Reapers.
I would say it was a success. Also I'm from the US and personally I don't find the D-Day videos at all offensive but that's just me. If the server would have been able to handle the correct number of defense towers your run would have done enough damage for a win
Some 'Muricans have been so brainwashed by their government that they can't help but be offended by(and whine about) a video game scenario. It's an unfortunate state of things.
The amount of effort you put into setting up these simulations is amazing! BTW, screw the people who can't get over a "what if" reenactment of something that already happened and had its conclusion in the real world
Agree one hundred percent. I actually can’t believe you wasted your time making this video with the spectre attacking from the wrong side. Unless I’m missing something, which is also likely. Otherwise, great video as usual. Keep em coming, El Capitan!
I kind if want to see this with a large flight of Viggens with BK-90s now. TOT with each Viggen having individual target waypoints for the weapons along the beach.
Oh man, that was so cool! You've got to do more Spectres mowing down massive targets. Gunship vs. tank swarm at Kursk? Unless it's already on a list. It'd also be interesting to see the Super Tucano fight a warbird.
the orbital strafing was more a thing with the ac 47 , the ac130 was the more well thought out version that was intended to run up and down the hochimin trail ( spelled it one word because no kidding theres an h word according to yt ) at night hitting convoys so yeah absolutely it can do a 5 mile gun run
Wow! You should do that again with Specter firing from the seaward side. The Herky bird would have demolished the infantry. As it went, the Herky’s rounds either hit the top of the hill or went over the heads of the infantry, landing in the water. The beach would act as a backstop for the rounds if done from the seaward side. The A-10’s did better because they fired directly from above the beach where the infantry had no cover. I know you said you wouldn’t do the D day landing anymore but that would be awesome if you could redo it and see what side.
Anyway you fine gentleman and ladies could set up The battle of Midway??? Maybe swap modern carrier groups or plane types……. Do what y’all do best. Love the channel!!!
This scenario lacks hundreds of enemy P-51's, P-47's and Spitfires as well as the AAA of 2 battleships, 3 cruisers, 13 destroyers and 1000 other naval vessels. I get that to be 121 heavy AA-guns (3" to 5.25"), 149x40mm-guns and 172x20mm guns, just for the naval gunfire support force.
Actually that was Sword Beach and those were royal Marines so, Cap was right at least on this one Maybe, to stay on the theme of offending everyone, you can try to simulate the north koreans subs infiltrating comandos on south Korea, wich plane will spot the snorkels or zodiak boats, and neutralizing them first cheers guys
Just make these battles between the Hittites and Philistines. Americans, let’s be a little more thick-skinned. Kind of shameful that we’d be ok with other countries being bombed but get crabby about ourselves.
Not y'all's fault, but the AC-130 would be shot down by the destroyers, cruisers, and battleships escorting the landing fleet. It's a large, lumbering target for their dual purpose armament, some of which had radar-fused shells. Some of the A-10s may survive, but they aren't much faster than what the gunner crews would have been trained for. The F-16s and B-52s from the previous videos have a better chance of slowing or stopping the landing, but the AC-130 and A-10s are the poorest candidates for the job since the fleet itself could readily counter their strafing run.
What is up with people whingeing for? It's a bloody game for crying out loud. Yes my uncle landed on gold beach, yes I'm super proud of him but like I said.....it's .. a .....game. keep up the great vids guys 👍

Cap, I want to make a formal complaint, this is yet another example of GR doing as they're told and doing welll... This is not the quality of a content I have come to expect..... GG
Hey Capt,.. on D-day the Germans used MG34s and MG42s just some FYI... I had some friends back in the 80's in Fla, that were at Normandy Bch, and they said that some of the guys just hearing the MG42 made them hit the dirt out of reflexes...lol and I can't blame them .. beast of a gun for it's time...
The beach installations also had older MG08s, they were perfectly good MGs and since they sat in bunkers there was no need for mobility, in fact in those situations water cooled guns would actually preform better, as they had more stamina even if the rate of fire was lower.
@@zsavage1820 it worked OK, but Germany was vastly overstretched and in a bunker, a water-cooled machine gun is superior in a defensive position where mobility isn't an issue. And Germany didn't have enough MG42s or MG43s to supply the entire Atlantic Wall, so the Mobile units got the air-cooled and the fixed defensive positions (at least some of them) got the older stuff. A machine guns is a machine gun. And the MG08 isn't very different from an Vickers what the British schlept along wherever they went.
Who on Earth is complaining about a video game? Do they cry everytime the Allies lose in Call of Duty too? So dumb. I'm American and I have no problem with it, because I'm not a baby.

the firehose effect never gets old. it was awesome seeing from the Her'c perspective with the Hogs chugging and Brrrting along
Problem was the terrain. The slope of the beach meant the AC-130 had a nearly impossible angle. Amazing flying, nonetheless.👍
Yeah, they should have strafed in the other direction.
Roger, second half of the beach flattened out. If whole beach was flat I would predict 250+ kills for the Herc.

Someone tell ED it's okay to design programs that use more than *checks notes* one CPU core. 😭
I think the Herc might have done better if you had come in from the opposite direction, because of the way the beach is slanted.
