What? No long range B-52 strike? No Rapid Dragon? More Boom please. Of course GR has to worry about melting the server, but it would be nice to see. Like an A-10 rolling into a gun run on an AT-AT

[@TroySpace]

B-52 doesn't have that Jerry Bruckheimer energy 😅. A-10s would need a ground base and they'd take a very long time to get on target. Still have the AI problem as well.

[@UnitedStatesofAmorica]

I want this so much

[@blademaster2390]

@@TroySpace So? Ground bases aren’t a problem, there’s many DCS maps with ground bases and enough water for a few Carrier Groups

[@exidy-yt]

We think alike. ;-) I was also thinking Rapid Dragon, but since it drops LORASMs which dive to the deck they would just impact the shield and would be useless. I don't know if the DCS Rapid Dragon can be outfitted with regular bombs (or bunker busters, a few 10,000lb Earthquake bombs would be sweet!) or not, but it would be a great non-nuclear option if the LORASMs could be switched out.

[@aztec0112]

C-130/MOAB's...just sayin'

[@nvb9218]

Idea: instead of conventional bombs, try putting RN-24 or RN-28 nukes on those F/A-18s; they'd do a lot more damage per hit and allow you to get fewer bombers out in a faster amount of time. If modding the Super Hornet to carry nukes doesn't work, MiG-21s (which carry those munitions in the core game) can fly off of Kuznetsov or QE2 using RATO and parachute.

[@53kenner]

Better yet, have a submarine strike with nuclear-tipped missiles..

[@s87343jim]

I think the issue is hardware. Those nukes often crash/freeze the game when a lot of things got destroyed at once. Also, nuke in DCS, in terms of visual, is very boring.

[@lordsqueak]

I was thinking ... What about MOABs ?

This was a very fun mission, moreso then I thought it would be. To make it more winnable, as well as just more anti-ground naval strikes, why not add a couple B-52, B-1 or B-2 flights from Guam to complement the naval armada? Drop the BIG boom-boom! I was also thinking Rapid Dragon, but I just remembered they carry LORASMs which dive to the deck and would be useless here. I'd like to see this rematch.

skyline reference?

[@dongleseon8785]

Agree. It should look like a WW2 carpet bombing but with modern bombers. There's plenty airstrips near pacific for long range bombers. Also, I think alien planes should be more nimble to compensate for the lack of missile.

[@Bradygoat6390]

If their technology is anti gravity then it definitely doesn't have to apply to our physics . 😂 . Also nice Segway Simba 👏

[@OskarGibson]

In this scenario couldn't the Russians just use nuclear tipped khinzal hypersonic missile? Or could the US or UK use some form of nuclear tipped cruise missile in top-attack drop down mode. Or the Russians using khinzal hypersonic missile dropping down on top without nuclear warhead but just a lot of them. And I'm sure the Chinese could use anti-ship ballistic missiles in huge numbers, DF-somethingorother can't remember the numbers

[@exidy-yt]

But where's the fun in just nuking the mothership?

[@OskarGibson]

@@exidy-yt that's why I also mentioned a large number of conventional khinzals or anti-ship ballistic missiles. Could also do a scenario of escorting/protecting plane or ship that will launch nukes.

[@josephvarno5623]

OK. Suggestion for attacking the bugs. Reduce the flights from a 4 ship to a 2 ship. It looked like the third and fourth guys were the ones to refuse to bomb. Primary and secondary seemed to drop pretty consistently.

[@BlueArsedGibbon]

Hey Cap, couple of suggestions but they're a bit of ballache: Could you not have the CV's be included for recovery's only and have the flights spawn in on timers/triggers etc. That'd remove the chance of them getting gummed up all together (at least in a spot where it actually matters). And I really do like the idea of a flight of 100+ hoomans but that would require coordinating that many ppl and thats more of a ballache then programming all the triggers for the AI lol. Also just to get in the quotes: "Keep my planets name, out ya mouth!" oops, wrong quote.

All that would be left to have troubles with would be the ai choosing not to drop their bombs. However if you want to keep the realism with them taking off, good luck.

Two ideas. First support the naval strike groups with land based bombers carrying far more ordnance (escorted by a few land based fighters). Second, equip some of the air to ground forces with tactical nuclear weapons (maybe a select group of humans only). Great video, keep up the good work!

[@matrut28]

“They have to comply with our atmosphere”. Non-linear technology, direct-energy weapons and vehicles redefine how particles and “stuff” travel through and in between space. So technically they wouldn’t have to comply with physics as most of the population and history understands it. If they have the technology, which they do, to travel through space faster than light, they could vaporize all of the world’s fleets in a nano second.

If possible you could have the ship drop shields at a certain damage threshold. Knock 50% hp down, and now the ship is capable of being damaged from the front. Allows the fleet to get in and actually participate in a meaningful way + would allow some other direct ordinance.

[@_j.brown06_]

Oh yeah and could have the Chinese with H-20s and Russians with PAK-DAs... also for some really odd reason i wanna see carriers like the USS America in a vid not to sure how they could be used for this other than launching only Murder F35s

[@forMacguyver]

High altitude Arc Light ? or a few 20,000 pound GBU-43/B MOABs .The U.S. Air Force has proposed new weapons pylons for the wings of B-52 bombers, allowing them to carry up to 20,000 pounds of ordnance on each pylon. This would enable the B-52 to carry the GBU-43 . There’s also the larger 30,000 pound GBU-57. B2 can carry the MOAB as well.Correction B-2s could each carry a pair of MOPs

I for one, welcome our new Alien Overlords. Try to think of a way to disable the shield-maybe a very small specific point on the mothership that could only be hit by pinpoint guided weaponry then unleash every AG plane in the United Nations. Also start the carriers and planes a little closer so the fighter squadrons can clear the majority of hostiles first? Ensure bomber groups are led by humans and each group has a fighter escort? Don't think nukes are plausible-if we press the doomsday button what button do they press in retaliation? Human guile and, it appears, British Meteor missiles would win the day. Great fun.

Even if all of the bombs got on target, I don't think they would've been enough to bring it down in time. For the rematch, Use all of the naval fighters for air-to-air and send in B-2 bombers to spam the PD with nukes. They might do more damage faster than conventional ordnance. Since the AIM-260 didn't do so great against the bandits, send the Americans back in with AIM-120Ds.

And they would fly in with the big long range bombers: B-1(-R), B-2, B-21, B-52, Tupolew-xy, and so on. They would send out transport-planes, dispatching rockets from palettes and tie some Himars or alike on oiltankers or any ship fast enough to get there in time. They would use submarines with missiles. You said it yourself: WW2-bombing style is good enough. Maybe a museum full of B-17s donated whatever was available for saving the world...
