@@grimreapers I still want to see The U.S. Carrier Fleet VS Russian Carrier Fleet Rematch! They've lost what twice now lol the Navy isn't stupid they lose twice better believe they'll change their tactics, they are being defeated by the Russians bigger guns, therefore they need big guns of their own. Henceforth The Iowa Class Battleship that realistically (COULD) be recommissioned and battle ready and for good measure keep the extra LHA Amphibious Assault Ship you used last time! With these additional TWO Ships should finally get the win, lol not fair too bad because The U.S. Navy has the means$$$ to get it done and that's my argument lol they'd definitely change tactics after losing TWICE! Plus They have the ability to do so!😁👍🙏

Now that’s a decent video idea.

[@angelarch5352]

So amazing!!! I think it was the ship missile strike that took out most of the AAA to clear the way for the strike planes-- that did it. None of the other attempts had such a anti-ship missile alpha strike. Very interesting. After the IJN picket line was taken out, the planes could bomb them with near impunity, and still the anti-ship missiles were trickling in.

[@jkasiron2275]

That was awesome! I can see why the Russians didn't feel like they needed a really big air wing.

[@cannedparty3863]

I'm really looking forward to the midway battles, those sound like they'll be really fun and interesting

[@lauriea2971]

Well all those sexy Grime pilots did a great job on this episode. The Russian ships turned all the Japanese fleet into subs. Keep it up guys

[@BobH809]

This was awesome to watch. Makes you wonder at Russia's decision to choose all those powerful missiles over what the US use. That Flanker is like a missile/bomb truck too.

[@mystyle_jm8997]

Beware that Admiral Kuznetsov-class Carrier is no ordinary Aircraft Carrier, it was called the Aircraft-carrying Cruiser, meaning that Ship has a Naval Air Wings along with VLS Missile Cells, heavily armed to the teeth.

[@HAL_9001]

As soon as I saw the front line I knew the answer. If you were ever to revisit this, it would have to be, "Could a Single Pyotr Velikiy / Kirov Stop the WWII Pearl Harbor Attack?"

[@Wildfire86872]

I might have tried seeing just how far those fighter zeros would've followed me, and pulled them into the SAM net of the ships.

[@jkasiron2275]

I was thinking the same after seeing it done in a previous video. This appeared to be decisively a ship vs. ship scenario, I don't know if more than a third of the Flankers available were even used. So cool.

Not going to lie but 27:41 had me in stitches for a good 10 minutes, brilliant!

Sneaky and Simba provided excellent entertainment. Each had 30-50 aircraft chasing them, making for some awesome widescreen shots. Truly incredible. GG.

[@Psychobolic77]

I loved the massive herds of zeroes chasing the flankers. Anyone up for some fox and geese? You might have designated one guy to draw the swarm away from the fleet and keep them busy for as long as possible, staying too high and fast to hit, but close enough to keep them interested. After all, it is just stupid AI.

[@jkasiron2275]

It was great to meet more of the Reapers in action! You guys are a lot of fun to watch as you do what you do. Good luck with Midway, I'm interested to see how the integration of strike group tactics affects the results. May the server gods be with you!

[@Cavedweller001]

That was absolutely amazing! I used to play a few of the cold war sub simulators way back when but they never showed the power of the Russian ships against a surface fleet. If Brute Force can't do the job you're just not using enough seems to be a winning strategy.

[@ps45mitschnitte83]

Red Fleet also had several Kiev-class carriers but they all are either scrapped or turned into theme parks in China.

[@MikoyanGurevichMiG21]

One such "theme park ship" turned out to be China's first aircraft carrier, Liaoning.

[@TheDemolitionKings]

Taking the cruiser and destroyer screen out before the SU’s came in was exactly the right thing to do. It eliminated a big portion of their air defense and gave the aircraft a chance to get hits on the carriers. That said. It would’ve been over the top cool to throw a squadron of Hellcats (or even Mig 15’s if we have to go Russian) in to plow through the Zeros.

[@andrewsmall6834]

Can you do a video of how would a Chinese carrier group stand up if it decided to go after Australia? So how would the fleet stand up against the Australian air force and navy? The PL15s should lose their advantage against the F35As. Australia would also make it interesting with our AIM120D's and AGM-158 JASSM's, we would obviously have plenty of time to prepare with our 3 over the horizon radar networks spotting them from over 1000km away.

[@claudiodiaz9752]

They got in trouble before doing china stuff.

[@AB-ye6cl]

I'd like this scenario too , where do you think they would attack? A few things make doubt or ability to defend against a carrier Group 1. If we didn't spot mh170 I dunno if we spot a carrier Group 2. I have heard from ADF commanders somewhere that we only have the capability to attack supply lines.

I think he meant 1,400 tons, not 1,400 kilotons. The R28 nuke has a programmable yield of between 1-10 kilotons. I assume ED set it to about 1 kiloton so that it could be actually useable.

[@ferdigrundling776]

Big difference between the US strike group and the Russian strike group. It's seems like the Russian acted very quickly with anti ship missiles and get the job done much quicker

[@Battlestargroup]

Would love to see you use some older US tech this time. Maybe Vietnam era jets like Phantom and Intruder. Or could use some newer tech like early Vipers and Harriers or even the Corsair II. OR!! How about the new British fleet with KGV and QE with one additional ship to take the spot of the Yorktown? Just ideas to add to the pot.

[@roribeedm]

Between the IJN's lack of radar (no radar on their ships until 1943) and their naval doctrine that required all aircraft on the hangar decks to be fueled and armed at all times, even 1 1000lb bomb to the flight deck would set off a fatal chain reaction of explosions and fires that resulted in the deaths of their carriers. Any kind of modern anti-ship missile fired from over the horizon the IJN wouldn't even know it was coming, aircraft flying low (100 ft) could get within 12 miles before being spotted easily at which point climbing out of flak range then bombing becomes easy. The only way the Japanese would even know they were about to be attacked would be smoke plumes, so the US carrier group would have had an advantage over this one. Also, the S-25 would easily penetrate the wooden flight deck and detonate in the hangar resulting in a chain reaction of explosions that would destroy the flight deck. Meaning a single one of those rockets would have neutralized the carriers. Either way though, the result would be the same. The IJN wouldn't stand a chance against modern weapon systems. If the IJN was ambushed before they started launching their fighters, they wouldn't even be able to put up a token resistance.

[@joshberry4813]

[@mmccarthy9458]

The Russian CVBG has 3 heavyweight ASuW ships: 1 Kirov BCGN with 16 to 20 Shipwrecks and 2 Slava CG with 16 Sandbox missiles. The Japanese Carriers have no defences against these kind of missiles. So its really a matter of getting KA-25 B Surface search radars to paint the Japanese CVs and then allocated 48 Anti-ship cruise missiles against 6 Carriers, 8X6. 2 to 3 per carrier should be more than enough.

[@Fr05t3k]

Why the p700 were hitting the water? Also p700 use data link and not more than 3 missiles should hit one target. I'd say initial strike made it so much easier for fighter to work, due to massive reduction of flak that pilots were getting.

[@jbhubbz2954]

[@voradfils]

I'm actually writing and posting this during the overview section and predict that the almost infinite naval Tor-missiles will keep the zeroes at bay. Russians did well to listen to Stalin. One thing these war games have shown is that quantity does indeed have a quality of its own. If the sandboxes etc. work, Russians will win.

The Pacific Fleet demised to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, who split the necessary massive upgrade program into (manageable?) five-year increments, upon the 1917 Revolution; the five-year planning was followed up as necessary by the later all-Union Party.
