Apparently the 054B is also supposed to carry YJ-18B with terminal maneuver by 2026

[@koskok2965]

The Type 26s won't be getting their SPEAR 5s until 2028. By that logic, the Gorshkovs should be equipped with Zircons, which are already in service with other vessels and can equip every vessel capable of firing the Kalibr and Onyx missiles.

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

Neither the Type 26 or Constellation are in service yet either... The Constellation isn't due till like 2029, so this hyperthetical battle can't be set before then, so using a missile from 2028 is perfectly valid.

[@comareborn8734]

​@@sergarlantyrell7847Sure, but the Russians should have access to the Zircon.

[@Spendingryan]

@@comareborn8734 I agree, but i think currenthill may have a valid reason for using the Kalibir or whatever the alternative to the Zircon currently is, I think I have heard that it's extreme speed generates plasma which blocks its own sensors making it difficult to track moving targets like a warship, and may have a smaller payload? If that's true the other ones are probably more effective, but I could be wrong or heard wrongly.

[@QuotidianStupidity]

In 2028 Russia will be using whatever China or North Korea are making

[@dylanc9174]

​@@comareborn8734Depends. Apparently corruption has meant Russia's SAM missiles were lacking on their flagship Moskva when it sunk, likely being the cause of sinking.

@Wyomingchief Yes, the blue team has the best avaliable/future anti ship weaponry, we don't have hypersonic in use in real life in the UK, because we do anti ship differently, I think stealth, maybe currenthill chose to give the reds the Kalibr instead of the Zircon for a good reason I don't know.

I'm just curious if people realize that everything or at least the vast majority of the content that cap puts out is run on the DCS program? For those of you that don't know that's digital combat simulator as in an military air combat simulator. This is not a naval simulator and things are done very basic when it comes to both land and sea assets. If you want to see truly realistic simulations you need to watch a naval simulation not an air simulation😂😂 Also for all the ones crying and whining about cap and his commentary, I don't know what to tell you but the majority of us like it. And I know as a patreon and a financial supporter of this channel, I absolutely love it. I guess if you really want to change something maybe you should support the channel?

I really like the constellation ships. There is still debate about adding more VLS. Sounds like it would cost around $12 million to go to 48 cells and I think it is a no brainer.

[@draigygoch]

The CIWS on the Constellation is the RIM-116. Not all CIWS are guns/cannons

[@stephen_1987]

@grimreapers Out of curiosity, when you did the brawl at the end, why does the Chinese CIWS fire but the ones on the Type 26 do not? Phalanx Block 1B (which the RN has) has a surface to surface mode. Also, those Chinese CIWS only have circa 10 seconds of ammunition on board the mount (in two separate ammunition drums), is that really enough to sink two ships each considering that they would have some sort of ballistic protection of their critical area's? And in the initial missile barrage at range, is it possible to alter the ships behaviours? It would be much more realistic to have ToT launches of anti-ship missiles, and much more likely for missiles to get through.

[@cmibm6022]

This was all about ships and missiles - fine. But what about a little tactic - using the terrain (the fjords) like you would do for an airial battle?

[@Wyomingchief]

Because this isn't a naval simulation program. DCS is a combat are simulator, any and all ships in or land units are added in for the benefit of the air emissions. Yes you can control where the ships move and how fast and such but you can't control the firing of them, the missiles, etcetera so again it's just a demonstration of the capabilities😂

[@grimreapers]

We just don't have enough control of the ships Cam, it would be a shit-show.

[@johnhodgson4216]

Grim Reaper new motto 'Lets Fly and Die'

[@MostlyPennyCat]

The reason you short salvo your anti ship missiles is to goad the enemy into salvoing SAMs at each incoming. Fire 8 and they'll fire 16. Fire 16 and they _might_ only fire 16 due to channel limitations or fear you will salvo 16 repeatedly so conserve their ammo. Of course, if they know what they're facing and they're not a defensive screen they'll try to run.

[@wzywg]

I just watched a YT doco on the worst planes in WW2. I'd love to see you guys run a scenario where any of those available in DCS (I have no idea) are pitted against each other, with one GR pilot in each.

[@ryabow]

Hey cap, I'd like to request/suggest a battle line of WW2 American Battleships against that Chinese/Russian battle line. the supersonics would obviously be a huge advantage for the Chinese, but would their ships last long enough in a galleon fight for them to matter?

[@lolmao500]

Imagine a real time RTS where each unit uses real life data for weapons using CurrentHill mods, you could even go into third person for each unit controlling it... it would be AMAZING. And if you made a new game using those assets, you could add like real damage models for units, not just the crappy damage models from DCS. Seeing boats being split in two by missiles would be amazing. Or missiles going through a hull... all of it could be simulated with physics... Dude you totally need to find people to make a game.

[@Wyomingchief]

That would make a really cool Naval simulation program. But unfortunately this is a combat aircraft simulator. All those things fall under the core program which is not something the mods can change

It could probably take all 8 ships in that galleon fight. Even her secondaries are bigger than any gun in that fleet, and her armour is thicc. Her superstructure could get ruined tho.

[@sulyokpeter3941]

The Type 26 will have the most advanced laser weapon too for close range defence(waay better than any other laser weapon currently, with the new advanced targeting system). It has been confirmed by the MoD. The laser weapon name is the Dragonfire. The world most advanced Laser weapon right now. £10 per shot, world class targeting system capable taking down missiles and drones(has been tested already multiple times vs drones and fast moving objects, iam not sure is it capable destroying something which is faster than mach 2-3). It will be installed on couple of the Type 23 Frigates too by end of 2027.

[@dwaynezilla]

Missiles flying in on the same path would be easier to take out, I think. More of a chance of a missile being in that space if you fire a burst into a train of missiles.

[@ROTNReaper]

A very important metric that I don't know I've heard discussed on your channel is cost vs GDP. Is there a way to add to your scoreboard of a percentage of how much the cost of the battle is compared to how much rhe country has to spend? This was a big topic from the more recent Iranian retaliation attacks, and how the coalition forces spent so much to defeat the targets, but comparably was a drop in the bucket compared to how much Iran's attacks cost them in GDP percentage. So where iran spent less, they used more of thier GDP then the allied forces did. Battle of financial attrition.

[@Bellx1-f4d]

From what I heard you compare it with the cost of what it was fired at rather than the cost of interception.

[@ROTNReaper]

@Bell-x- well what I was eluding to is if one side spends 1.5 million on a missile to shoot down a 200,000 from the other side, how much of a percent is that deducted from the country's GDP? Cause firing a more expensive missile may not have as much of an impact on the available funds as the others side.

[@Wyomingchief]

​@@ROTNReaperthey've done several battles comparing the cost of the weapons versus what is used to intercept them . But other than that it's pretty easy to figure just figure out what was used to shoot down what😂

[@ROTNReaper]

@Wyomingchief I'm talking about cost of weapons vs money available to the country

[@grimreapers]

I think it would have to be done manually after the battle.

[@BenShepherd-kl9pz]

Hey cap. Speaking on navel battles I watched a clip on a new type of self propelled guided round that will be fired fron a standard ship cannon and has a rage on about 50 miles and will be capable of shooting down missiles. Futuristic yeah but really cool substitute for a rail gun. Also did you see the new Australian ghost bat drone will be in full production very soon.

[@hamed2011]

Nice sim test modern warfare is missile wars specially stealthy ones! why this sim dont have any zirkon or legit Hyper sonic missiles ?? also can we manually control the vessel radar missile and weapon system or just pre program sim?

[@Wyomingchief]

This is not a naval simulator, DCS is a military aircraft simulation these are just added units to enhance the are environment. Basically all you can control is the ship speed and course, and some of the vessels you can fire the guns. But you have no control over radar or missiles or anything like that because again this is not a naval simulator

[@5Andysalive]

If they stick with the bullet(missile) sponge hitpoint system for ships they should at least start gradually disabling those ships weapons at 50% or so. That should be easier than a full on damage model. I doubt after a hit all weapons on anyones ship would still be working.

[@Wyomingchief]

Well if this was actually a naval simulator they might do that. But again DCS is a military combat are simulation. What you're asking for has to do with the core programming of dcs. The only way to change that would be for the creators to do that and I doubt they're going to take the time to worry about that.

As practice shows, this can happen when someone wants victory for a certain side of the conflict XD

Fair point, it is reasonable that it should be balanced fairly, maybe he equipped the gorshkov class frigate with a different more versatile loadout? going by basic information those VLS cells i think the 32 cells can all be fitted apparently with either Kalibr, Oniks, or the Zircon, so maybe the mod creator thought different missiles were better as the Zircon will take up space of other missiles, maybe defensive ones?

Ships already in service against ships and missiles still in construction/development...

Again we see how the game's settings are turned upside down. When the red hypersonic missiles fly, everyone gets lost, but as soon as the blue ones launch, no one can shoot them down. And so every time we see the same thing. Although the blue ones don’t even have hypersound in metal.

[@Wyomingchief]

What the hell are you even talking about? There were no Hypersonic missiles on the blue side, the missiles that were shot by the blue were shot down as long as the red side still had anti-air missiles. The problem is the red side don't carry as many missiles that's why some of the blue side got through. But keep crying, and maybe one day they'll make something as good😂😂

The gorshkov appears to have less offensive anti ship weapons when in fact it has more because S300 and other missiles can be used in an anti ship role. This is important because it incentivises aggressive Russian strategy. Why waste missiles on defense when you can use them to sink the ship first.

[@duanemckinley9353]

The Gorshkov carries 9M96 missiles from the S-350 system comparable in role to the ESSM not the full sized 48N6 variant missiles from the S-300 which would be used in that role. One the other hand, the SM-2 and SM-6 are full sized missiles like the 48N6 that have an anti-ship mode.

Why does it feel like the Russian ships just never do anything😂😂😂

Because when you turn on the radio, the radar shuts off.
