Suggestion; The IJN ran a pair of Battleship/carrier Hybrids from Japan to Singapore and back in 1945, and got away with it. If you want a "what if", then divert one or both to the Indian Ocean and see what sort of Commerce Raiders they might have been. And yes, Aircraft were available for them, it just would have taken a Imperial edict to free them up. IRRC, they would have been opposed by escort Carriers, BB Richelieu and a few DDs. Could get interesting.... ;)
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen cap get wasted, while staring at a friendly wing, because he’s gotta fly formation, I’d be able to buy a real p-51 mustang.
You have mixed up the locations for Tirpitz, it was hit in Kåfjord earlier on (and repaired) but was ultimately sunk at Håkøya, which is just south of Tromsø, where her remains are today, which is quite a bit west-southwest of Kåfjord. I can almost see the Tirpitz remains from my house. Wish you could have a real map of the area! Still enjoyed this though, keep it up!
Great mission. Really felt it for the Bomber Squad that got jumped without escorts - not really much can be done if they find you. Wartime decisions must have been tough - the Tirpitz is worth how many aircraft and lives. My neighbour, who passed about 12 years ago, flew Lancasters in WWII. Can't imagine the feelings that go through your head just before starting your engines - average life expectancy something like 7 missions.
39:45 Learn to trim yo. You got all of them in that plane + extra super fine aileron trim in the form of left and right fuel tanks. Even when trim isn't exact, it's better to press buttons back and forth intermittently than to apply continuous pressure with the stick. That said, I have managed to get a sore "trim thumb" a few times. Keeping your feet on the pedals the whole time is pure misery (the buttocks part). Switching from both heels to toes of one foot can help a lot. Probably depends on the construction of your pedals how well that works. You're not steering at that point, just locking the pedals in place (only need to do this if the plane doesn't have rudder trim). Now that you said it, I would recommend learning to fly simple stuff with the left hand. It's good for the brain. I learned to fly and dogfight right handed after doing it 25 years left handed a while back simply because HOTAS throttle couldn't be used with the right hand. Still can't do the twist grip right handed, though (only used for Descent (1995), not flight sims).
Please do a mission with a modernized battleship group vs a carrier group. That is, the Iowa class was kept semi modernized with harpoon and phalanx, etc. until their retirement. I think it'd be neat to see a "modern" battleship group try to match a modern carrier group.
torque is such a BEAST on those horsey things. training could have been messy. use the runway, and trim to lift-off, imo. turn off your nav lights when in hostile territory.
Are there any more bomber like aircraft, rather than the mosquito which is more of a strike type aircraft, which you have access to in game to use for this mission?
Gonna do the impossible task of flying war thunder air sim strike sorties in a sea harrier while i watch this lol. Dont have a pc that could even handle dcs, so it'll have to do
Could you have CH create a mod for the Arsenal ship concept, which was a US Navy concept for a ship with at least 500 VLS cells with the tonnage of a battleship, but in the late 1990's?
Maybe you could do a continuation of the battle where the UK disables their airfields or military bases after too with the QE thrown into the mix with f35's! @@grimreapers
This is the reason the British bought the QE II class and F-35B, the US will not give that guy F-16 he might go for chinese fighters. The British are not going to be so surprised this time they will be waiting. An air sea gap is a major advantage, one just places a bunch of anti ship missiles and air combat aircraft on the Falklands. If Arg get on land things might be different.............. there's always the SSBN Trident II subs.
Cap, stop flying so damn close to lead - it's stupid and unecessary. Why do you keep doing that? So annoying. Also, if you are flying milsim rules, when a pilot is shot down, they should not be allowed to continue communications, or offer to navigate etc for others.
I need help: i am flying the f 15 c. everytime i want to shoot a rocket my gun shoots. i dont know what to do. i cant figur out how i can shoot rockts. Please help me bro
two different key bindings, check your controls setup. Guns is WEAPON FIRE binding , Missiles is WEAPON RELEASE. I use two different buttons on they joystick.

Love these missions where you can see how much effort the real thing would be. Really appreciate your work in doing these.
Escorts just flying around and not escorting.... Great work 😂
Those other 2 P-51s should have been on escort.
They are horrible tacticians and flyers
A GR take of without any crashses - hurraaa
Weird...
01:10 That note on the restrictions saying that Dampsock can't take the hind to this mission...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There were some Mosquitoes wishing there was a fighter escort.

Maybe when the Kola map comes out, depending on how big the map is?

The steady tone of Matrix. NO Disrespect to Cap but he's so calm. ASMR Boom Boom?
Hai and Milo put on quite a show at the end there. Well done.

@33:32 that was some of the best flying I have ever seen by the Mustang!
20:40 engine temp is cold likely you were running your mixture too rich for your altutude. Robbing your engine of power.
Interesting thanks
dont fly in tight formation in a war zone guys !! fly spread on eachoters wing so you can see eachoters back !!!!
pining for the fjords?
Dampsock has to get a special rule!
What a mission. Great Video @CAP

mosquito was a powerhouse, probably saved the British.
Nope, the mossie is the biggest flyable ww2 aircraft in DCS.
there is a community DCS Lancaster being made but its not available yet....it looks spectacular!
Are we going to avoid the cloud path into the mountainsides this time?
SPOILER ALERT: Yes.
40:24 Cap it’s a good idea to switch hands once in a while IYKWIM 😉
lol
Giggity
F-15E vs Y-Wing! Battle of the bomb trucks
is there grim reapers discord if not there should be
Gonna do the impossible task of flying war thunder air sim strike sorties in a sea harrier while i watch this lol.
Dont have a pc that could even handle dcs, so it'll have to do
Verrrrryyyy loooooonnnngggg and daaaarrrkkkkk mission. 😞

Is it possible to do a modern Britain vs Argentina?
Awesome mission guys! Good challenge, good fun.
Cap, matrix question. These bombs any relation to 617 dam busters that used the spinning barrel 'skip' bombs on the German dam system? Curious
If you're referring to the bouncing bombs, then yeah
@ivorhardy cool! That's one of my favorite ww2 history reads. The 617 squadron and the mad scientist that came up with the idea.
Nothing 'mad' about Barnes Wallis. Genius inventor of his time.
Thanks for the pin to the original mission for the dam run.
Dammmmm........I knew they ran the mission with Lans, but Holeeehell! That was awesome
@oliabid-price4517 that is super true. Absolutely engineering legend
👍Thumbs UP👍 Great video
Unlike todays video which was a massive turd 👎
I had to deal with operation turtle head 😂😂
Grim with the new argentinian president saying he wants the falklands back and also them buying f16s from the US can you do a new simulation haha?
I was thinking about it BUT we have already done it here: th-cam.com/video/wStNLl825bQ/w-d-xo.html not sure what else I can do with it?
I'll give it a watch now I must have missed it! I've been addicted to these videos recently lolol@@grimreapers

I just watched the first one lol

I watch on my phone. Can you please just do day missions. Terrain, can't see fuck all.
That's OK we couldn't see fuck all either! -fire
Cap normally does only day missions (for the valued viewers). This was setup (poorly) by Matrix
Not everyone has a fucking $1000 dollar laptop.
