@@grimreapers thanks man. I don’t even have this game but the videos are intriguing. I often wonder from my cockpit (toilet seat) what the future conflicts will look like. Are stealth aircraft communicating the battle space back to the missile trucks slinging long range telephone poles across the sky. Will this new B-21 raider be a game changer. Will the F22 go toe to toe with the Chinese.
Great battle Cap, those AIM 260's look like they are far more deadly at a distance, the higher lofting seems to have corrected the energy problem they had before when shot at long range!
I like the idea of Iran and Russia teaming up. Rather than playing scenarios in wrong locations, teaming up like this makes it more realistic. ALSO I like the idea of each player having his own skin - really easy to differentiate humans from NPCs and tell who is who.
I wonder if having the JATAM loft will make it harder to avoid now. Peregrine could be even more dangerous. Maybe testing the difference between the no-loft and the loft versions could be interesting, especially against humans.
The peregrine has always been loft. It was the first missile that I worked on from new. That is the only reason it has the range that it does. It lofts massively to get the range that it has. It is not as powerful as the aim-120C but has a much larger range. For that reason it is not very good if it is not fired from altitude.
I am going to call that F-22 pilot Benedict. Because this has been the worst betrayal in American history since the 1700s. Not only did he hand over one of Americas most closley guarded secrets. He also leaked the details of the operation resulting in the death of Simba and Cap. :D
Great video. Might I suggest a simulation? Eastern Mediterranean Isreal and a US CSG defending isreal from a first strike missle attack from multiple countries surrounding Israel on Israeli bases and assets. I assume the CSG would provide cover as it is able and as range allows. Thanks for your daily or close to daily videos!
The effectiveness of the lofting AIM 260s was quite impressive. Hopefully this leads to rerunning some of the other conflicts where they non-lofting version was used if for no other reason than to see how much of a difference they make in the overall battle.
Up next, watch as the USAF takes on a combined fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers and Federation Starships and win without losing a single F-26 space Raptor.
Cap and simba dropping bombs on that runway and the ambush on the F16s is similar to Tornados dropping JP-233s at 150ft above Iraqi airfields during OP desert storm and getting shot down by manpads and low level AA whilst illuminated by runway busting explosives or when pulling up to toss bombs... great mission and very VERY nice to see new missile physics. Very satisfied with this one :)
Totally. I made a model IDS with JP-233's when I was a kid. Only as an adult did I find out, they were suicide missions. How those crews flew that mission, I'll never know but ever admire.
Great vid as always cap! But why so few F-35s though? In the wargame there's almost 3 times more Raptors as Lightnings but IRL theres more F35s in service with the USAF and much more being delivered by 2025
Odd scenario, but could you do a scenario where two US carriers attempt to take out the Raptor fleet at Langley AFB. The carriers are the George W. Bush and Gerald R. Ford. With a compliment of 3 Arleigh Burke Flight III destroyers. Could the aircraft of the two carriers be enough to outmatch the might of the Raptors.
I discovered this channel a few days ago and have been binging these videos. I'm curious though, does the military actually use something like this simulator for their war games? When you say grim reaper models, what does that mean exactly? Does DCS just give you the tools, and you guys make the planes and missiles, or are you guys modding the game to make the stats for irl spec?
@@grimreapers The WG you guys make have taken up this previous weekend and the majority of my time I'm not at work the past few days. Been inexplicably fun to watch! Thanks for the tons of work you put into them!
Iran vs the united states is kinda like the boss fight in a video game. We all know who is gonna win but theres gonna be massive amounts of pain and anguish experienced from both sides. Video suggestion" a canadian invasion of the usa.
Man I would really love to fly these with you all. I’m one of those that is hell bent on being proficient in all aircraft in dcs and I’m up to 21 airframes so I think I’d be a good fit but just an offer. I’m on your discord but didn’t see anything about these events yet. Would def love to take part they always look like a blast of fun!
Apart from the defecting Raptor, It looks like everything else went right except the SEAD Vipers and strike birds making it out of the target area. I would've ordered a mission abort the moment those SA-13s woke up. If you had additional F-35s packing SDBs, those SA-13s wouldn't've been a problem. You could've left the Vipers out of this altogether since the F-35 was made to replace the F-16. Now that SAM systems can set traps, Think DEAD not SEAD. Hitting runways is not as effective as hitting the actual base facilities.
Does DCS have the USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20)? It is large enough to be mistaken for a small carrier in a missile strike. It is currently operating in the Med. Sea with the USS Gerald Ford. Maybe GR can get themselves one to accompany the Get Some for combined arms operations. ;-)
Can you please do some more british videos, youve done like 15 usa wargames videos since the last britain one and it was probably about the same before that.
S400 needs a serious re work in this game, Russia confirmed a storm shadow non stealth missile hit s400 site, skill level needs to be lowered to be realistic
+GrimReapersAtomic *The Islamic Republic of Iran would probably use up to twenty Grumman F-14 Indias (structurally F-14 Alfa Block 95, but with avionics for the unique requirements o' the now-cast-out Pahlavi Dynasty), a lot of Mikojan-Gurjevich-29 Modernizatovenn'yj Komercheskij fighters, and/or a lot of Sukhoi-35 Serijnogo Modernizatovenn'yj Komercheskij fighter-interceptors.* The F-14I uses a reverse-engineered Hughes AIM-54 Alfa long-range bomber-intercept missile for first air-to-air strike.
I mean, tomahawks are surface skimming and perfect for taking out runways. Also stealth bombers can do a TOT attack to cruise in past S-400 after your decoy raid. I don't know why you would use F-15s for that role. It's not like a runway is going anywhere. You don't need to find it or lock it with ground radar...
SHORAD can take out Tomahawks with ease, the US would have to send dozens of them. Which depending on the airfield might not be worth it. Since after all they can be repaired very fast.
@@willwozniak2826 While it’s a fair point that they put lots of work in, I’d also say the whole point of these style of videos is to simulate as close to possible to a real world event. And the only was to improve is to be critiqued
Also, is it possible to play DCS like a strategy game? ie: 2 commanders controlling either side and determining which units fire what and when, and order units to move to locations?
Bring wombat and liam back from this video! Could Just 9 x B-1b With F-15E Destroy More Than 631 x WWII Bombers At Rabaul? (WarGames 145) | DCS. I was very entertained with this video and they brought amazing joy and godly gameplay to the wargames!!!
Awesome video u should do a continuation of this scenario where russia does a retaliation strike, maybe some sead i dont know, also bro u are a beast making a lot of videos thank u so much dont feel pressured, take a rest some time if u need it
When flying SEAD, what tactical difference if anything, is there between 'Wild Weaseling' and 'Iron Hand' I only ask because in the movie Flight of the Intruder, William Dafoe called it flying Iron Hand...
I'm surprised, Cap, you didn't give the Iranians the Russian Vympel R-37 hypersonic missile since they have 36 Su-34 but they'd take off from Shiraz or Chah Bahar airbase, well away from the tip fo Ras Al Khaimah. That would have made this mission more challenging for the allied aircraft since they'd have to go defensive well in advance giving the Su-35s time to reach their weapons envelope.
@@grimreapers Russia got anti stealth radars and they don't need to be exact, bring the missile close enough, it will do the rest form there. Do you really think that Russia and co are stupid?
I have no idea if ADM-160 has this feature, but it makes sense to my smooth brain that the MALD should take evasive maneuvers when targeted? Is that possible to program into a mod and I wonder how that'd impact PK on MALDs. If I'm controlling a SAM and I paint a fighters that continues to fly dumb, straight and level, that might be a giveaway as to what are the decoys?
Even decoys in the Cold War could maneuver to replicate a real aircraft. especially because an aircraft isn't normally going to just ignore being locked. If it could be done in DCS it wouldn't change much since the maneuvering is really to fool the operator of the SAM site into firing. and DCS SAM sites are very dumb even if they are dangerous.
Hey Cap, I can't find anything about mods for custom AA or HARM missiles online and I am planning to create some of my own on blender. If you could possibly create a tutorial on it I would be so thankful, thanks!
Here is what I used to get started. Admittedly I do not do any of the 3D modeling. The guide is a bit old and some things have changed but there isn't much out there drive.google.com/file/d/0B030JxXoTmyyWnNwcGhRTHM4RE0/view?resourcekey=0-6xiaqeDaPu8ZcIcplb_knw

@@Thewhitetile maybe. However most likely since it's in-game and detrimental to commblock planes, I'd bet on some bug in the recent updates - as DCS tends to favor the commblock side as far as performance is concerned for some reason.
Wouldn't that VSR mode you made a video about a few days ago be able to distinguish between decoys and missiles, or would the clutter confuse it? I don't know if the S-400 has anything like that, though.
@@grimreapers Might be something to test in the unlikely event you run out of better stuff to do... or at least, something to remember if you're defending against such a strike as humans in one of these wargames.
@@grimreapers yea, I've watched your vids for awhile now and I haven't seen too much of it but it would interesting to see some type of frontline-ish of artillery fire back n forth.

@@grimreapers sadface welp i hope in the future they work ;p happy hunting and thanks for all the great content you and your friends produced by the by.
@GR- instead of a Ford or Nimitz, can we see how the USN would do against an attack/in defense while using Amphibious assault ships and LCS's? Obviously an American Air Craft Carrier Group has a ton of power projection, but what if the USN was stretched more thin in a hypothetical war. These ships would be used heavily in the South China Sea and in the Persian Gulf where the sea isn't as wide and close to shore battles may occur
So a weird question, do you reckon if they modernised an F4 with an AESA Radar and the best missiles we have atm (ignore the whole "it wouldn't be compatable" bit that's not the point), that it would perform better today than it did when the phantom came out originally. The problem with the phantom was it was a bus but the combat was too close range (IR was still very prevalent and radar missiles were only semi active limited to a few miles). Dogfighting is a bit of a thing of the past now so it makes me wonder if the phantom was just really poorly designed for the time period and would have done a lot better later on. Obviously the f15 is better in literally every regard but ignore that
@@grimreapersAh...I figure it out. That doesn't work with missiles...works with planes. Gotta hit F6 for missiles. THAT'S what I was doing wrong. Got it!! 👍
Hey Cap, can you do a wargame where China, Russia, Korea, and some random non nation state attack US assets in different locations simultaneously with US defending all locations (or try to) using this same map? This could be a combined arms of AF and Navy/ Marines.
This is really cool, I just hope people keep in mind this is not at all reflective of how a conflict between US and Iran would actually play out and while really fun, is a game still. We can't comprehend how hard it would actually be to subdue iran if we decided to actually go to war with them. If you think 20 years only to lose in afghanistan was bad, Iran is basically uninvadable unless you're willing to commit literally your entire military strength. Iran is a literal fortress built into a massive mountain range. They're also not REALLY our "enemies" they're just the excuse we need to stay involved in middle eastern affairs. Iran is really the more moderate of the sects of islam, and ironically it's our allies in saudi arabia who spread the wahhabism sect which is the entire root cause of the extremism in islam. I don't mean to get preachy, I know people are just here for the fun and I am too, I just want everyone to remember that war sims are still just sims annd not something we should aspire to reenact in real life or a reflection of any kind of realism in an actual war time setting.
Nice battle plan and video but the war in Ukraine has taught us that the Russians are not able to have SAM sites active while they are flying because they shoot their own aircraft down.

the idea that there would be 12 SU-57s in the world in 2025 is hilarious.
Good Job Dark
HI cap,
It would be best if you also added Iranian boats with manpads or gun boats it can also pose a threat to usaf
Noted.
Wouldn't that VSR mode you made a video about a few days ago be able to distinguish between decoys and missiles, or would the clutter confuse it? I don't know if the S-400 has anything like that, though.
That's a really good point and maybe yes?
@@grimreapers Might be something to test in the unlikely event you run out of better stuff to do... or at least, something to remember if you're defending against such a strike as humans in one of these wargames.
Do you ever do artillery sims? Too dense of air defence for an attempt for jets but artillery....
Can be done in DCS but I haven't really played around with it.
@@grimreapers yea, I've watched your vids for awhile now and I haven't seen too much of it but it would interesting to see some type of frontline-ish of artillery fire back n forth.
I don't know exactly where Cap lives.... but as he's near Lakenheath he has some great place names all around him... WANGford (snicker)... FELTwell (giggity)... Hockwold CUM Wilton (bahaha) and METHwold..... 😂😂😂😂
Cap names best nam,es
Spotted Dick is my favorite 😂😂
12:35 - let's go deliver a s@@@ load of Freedom 😊
Do you have a FREMM model? French or Italian.
And could you do a US version mock up like with the 6 gen jets?
Yes BUT they don't work properly: th-cam.com/video/Lpe2QLBaP_0/w-d-xo.html
@@grimreapers sadface welp i hope in the future they work ;p happy hunting and thanks for all the great content you and your friends produced by the by.
Does DCS have E-3 AWACs for NATO/US, or is it E-2 only?
It does but it doesn't seem to make an difference and just easier for me to use E2D for everything to help me create missions fast.
Using F-15s just to launch decoys is a waste. Same with Using stealth fighters as a direct attack aircraft
Stealth main purpose is BVR direct attack. F15s are missile trucks so that is perfect
@GR- instead of a Ford or Nimitz, can we see how the USN would do against an attack/in defense while using Amphibious assault ships and LCS's? Obviously an American Air Craft Carrier Group has a ton of power projection, but what if the USN was stretched more thin in a hypothetical war. These ships would be used heavily in the South China Sea and in the Persian Gulf where the sea isn't as wide and close to shore battles may occur
So a weird question, do you reckon if they modernised an F4 with an AESA Radar and the best missiles we have atm (ignore the whole "it wouldn't be compatable" bit that's not the point), that it would perform better today than it did when the phantom came out originally. The problem with the phantom was it was a bus but the combat was too close range (IR was still very prevalent and radar missiles were only semi active limited to a few miles). Dogfighting is a bit of a thing of the past now so it makes me wonder if the phantom was just really poorly designed for the time period and would have done a lot better later on. Obviously the f15 is better in literally every regard but ignore that
We can model it and find out...
@@grimreapers Awesome!
@@lonurad1259 This will be a fun one to work on. I can't say I am too confident in it though.
What do you push in the F10 map to watch other planes and stuff, Cap?
Click on plane then F2 and F3 to view the planes.
@@grimreapers I SWEAR I tried that. I'll give it another shot. Thanks!!
@@grimreapersAh...I figure it out. That doesn't work with missiles...works with planes. Gotta hit F6 for missiles. THAT'S what I was doing wrong. Got it!! 👍
Hey Cap, can you do a wargame where China, Russia, Korea, and some random non nation state attack US assets in different locations simultaneously with US defending all locations (or try to) using this same map?
This could be a combined arms of AF and Navy/ Marines.
Will try!
@@grimreapers awesome!
AIM-260's looking sexier than ever!👍👍
Cap saw a trap but still went into to drop the bombs. If he didn't drink tea- he would have been a great American
This is really cool, I just hope people keep in mind this is not at all reflective of how a conflict between US and Iran would actually play out and while really fun, is a game still. We can't comprehend how hard it would actually be to subdue iran if we decided to actually go to war with them. If you think 20 years only to lose in afghanistan was bad, Iran is basically uninvadable unless you're willing to commit literally your entire military strength. Iran is a literal fortress built into a massive mountain range. They're also not REALLY our "enemies" they're just the excuse we need to stay involved in middle eastern affairs. Iran is really the more moderate of the sects of islam, and ironically it's our allies in saudi arabia who spread the wahhabism sect which is the entire root cause of the extremism in islam. I don't mean to get preachy, I know people are just here for the fun and I am too, I just want everyone to remember that war sims are still just sims annd not something we should aspire to reenact in real life or a reflection of any kind of realism in an actual war time setting.
The ex is the successor to the F15C cap.
Thx
Nice battle plan and video but the war in Ukraine has taught us that the Russians are not able to have SAM sites active while they are flying because they shoot their own aircraft down.
Cool mission!
What if the F-15EX's shot also aargm-er's?
I don’t believe Iran has S-400 yet! They do have S-300
Iran Has "Bavar-373"
Great video
