Sea Power | Will the Perry Class Frigate ESCAPE The Arctic Trap? | Cold War Naval Sim

[@Enigma89]

I got a new amp for my microphone and I have a cold so this is why I sound so different in this video. I have one more video that I am working on for Sea Power that has to do with sonars. My ambition with it is to go deep on how the sonar is modeled to give you a better idea of how much detail is in the game. This one will take more time to make it so it will come most likely in October.

[@kiubekpl5863]

Honestly I have not noticed at all

[@deekamikaze]

Just so you know, weapons free means that the units can fire whenever they want but weapons tight means they will only fire when you tell them to. Being on tight is a good way to conserve ammunition when there's only a couple of targets so the ships don't salvo fire all of the precious defensive weapons

[@ThatViggenEnjoyer]

ok when i started this video and heard your voice i went "woah who is this guy?" then i read this comment and now it makes a lot more sense.

[@kennethschlegel870]

Some quick tips from a former Navy Radar tech, be sneaky: yes radar lets you see a long distance, but it lets you be seen from even further, if you had maintained EMCON or even just used your radars intermittently those missile boats wouldn't have been able to get a lock on you without getting much closer and turning on their radars them selves. Launch your helicopters early and use them as remote sensor platforms, they can be your eyes in the sky while you keep your radar off. Chaff is a last minute decoy, launch it once the missile is 30 seconds to a minute out, also try and turn in a way where the chaff is in-between you and the missile. Turning away also reduces your radar cross section and makes chaff the sexier target.

[@Enigma89]

Thanks for the tips. It has been an interesting couple days of trial and error of going through and seeing how things work. In RTS games, I have the bad habit of really trying to save resources too much for a rainy day. I was scared of using the helicopters because I wasn't sure if more MiG-23s were around and I wanted the helos just in case any submarines came up. This clearly was not a good idea because my ammo got widdled down so I couldn't defend against missiles.

[@theunkownbanana1823]

I love that simulation games like this are getting so advanced that real radar tech advice can be applicable, instead of just tips on how to game the system.

[@kennethschlegel870]

@@theunkownbanana1823 to be fair I don't know if they are modeling radar cross sections or not but putting the chaff between yourself and the missile is still solid advice even if they use a simpler targeting system.

[@firestarteronyoutube5542]

Don't mind me asking - you say switch radar off, or turn it off and on, would there be any particular method or pattern discerning when you'd switch radar on to detect something/someone?

[@CHIEFSHOTTY]

@@firestarteronyoutube5542 Not sure if modeled but you can see the radar mast rotating/sweeping on the top of ships. You may be able to use that as a indicator letting the radar do 1-2 sweeps to get a quick bearing and range of your surroundings and then turn it off. Probably wait till you move to a different position 5-10 minutes later then sweep again to get an updated picture. This way you can minimize the time sending signals and risk avoid getting detected, Worst case: They get a bearing , but not range or course and speed you get from tracking a target over time. If they launch missiles, they shoot with inaccurate ranging activation potentially missiles breezing past you or a complete whiff if they shoot in the incorrect location since you are moving. Again, not sure how moddled and will take some testing against the AI, but at the guy above has stated, use another radar source such as a helocopter to get information without giving away your fleets locations.

[@MaddestRaven]

Minor tip? You're deploying your chaff WAY too early. That should be saved for when that missile is coming into those final couple of miles, not when you're still 5+ miles out, engaging purely through missiles and some 5in gun fire. At that range, the missile seeker will just disregard the chaff entirely.

[@stevepirie8130]

I hadn’t realised the player was deploying it and thought the AI was lol.

[@Enigma89]

Sorry for my delay, I came down with covid when I filmed his and have been down and out since then. I usually play flight sims and in that genre, we typically deploy chat early and often until we break a missile lock. In this, it does not allow you to deploy multiple chaff in quick succession so this lines up with your point that you shouldn't deploy your chaff early because the maximized effect happens closer to a potential impact. THanks for your note.

[@MaddestRaven]

@@Enigma89 yeah I didn't want to cross as a backseat gamer, nobody likes those. Just a piece of advice was all. I think its hard to unlearn the habits of when and how you deploy countermeasures in one setting compared to the other, so it can be a fun time with the growing pains.

[@Cailean556]

Some of my observations from watching the various KZbinrs: 1. EMCON - You want to minimise your own radar emissions. The enemy will fire in the direction of any unknown/assumed enemy detected signals (radar emissions). Unless you want a metric ton of AShMs being fired at you, keep your own radars off until you know you're in the thick of it (because there's no point hiding by then). An air search radar is more important than a surface search radar - missiles (in the name of the game) are the most dangerous thing. Have a picket ship dislocated from the main formation, with its air search radar on. This will achieve 2 things: 1) it will provide an air picture for you. 2) it provides a decoy for the enemy to fire at instead of your important assets. Have it off to a side so, in the event of a miss, the missile doesn't acquire the rest of the formation and go for that (depends on the direction the attack comes from, obviously). Up to you which ship is the picket but my mentality is: keep the best defender in reserve. In this scenario, I'd have had the Badger be the picket - the OHP can fire SM-1s to cover it (but your magazine is small), plus it has its own RIM-7s - it doesn't have a CIWS though. Because of this, the OHP is better served being held in reserve to cover the freighters. 2. Launch helos early - Because you'll want to keep your own surface search radar off, get those helos airborne ASAP. They can cover more ground, faster, and they have a surface search radar of their own - and sonar if subs are a concern for you. If using them for surface search, have them flying relatively high so their radar can see further - they're your mobile surface-search-radar-decoys. The enemy will detect them being in the air (assuming their own air search radar is on), but won't know where the formation is - and if they launch a SAM at it, you know in which direction the ship is - so you can lob AShMs in its direction. 3. The enemy, from what I've observed, doesn't do anything tricky after firing their missiles (no dog legs, no changing course - that I've observed in what's being shown) so - unless you have confirmed civilians in the area - fire an AShM, or two, of your own in the direction of where enemy missiles came from. Yes, the enemy may be able to assume your position - but just because they don't do dog legs or change course after firing, doesn't mean you can't.

[@deekamikaze]

I hope he sees this. It will help A TON

[@Jajalaatmaar]

What is a dog leg?

[@Cailean556]

@@Jajalaatmaar At its most basic, a "dog leg" is one or more turns that enable an aircraft (or missile) to proceed to its original destination. So an aircraft (or missile) is on a head towards its target, conducts a 90 degree turn left or right, flies along that bearing for a set distance/time, then turns back into the target. In essence, the attack comes from a direction different to where the missile was fired from.

[@deekamikaze]

@@Jajalaatmaar To add onto his comment. It will essentially fool the enemy into believing that the attack is coming from a different direction in case the enemy decides to counter fire along the path of your missiles. Those enemy missiles will be flying off into a direction away from you.

[@SKFthree]

Missiles are coming from the front and the 3" gun, CIWS, and the Knox's RIM-7 launcher can't fire forwards. I actually said "Turn and unmask the guns!" out loud while waching this. Game looks really fun, though. Looking forward to seeing more of it.

A U.S. Maritime Administration standard ( or modified) C-4 cargo ship is an “SS”. “M/V” aka motor vessel: a merchant ship powered by one or more diesel engines. Widely adopted by other maritime nations because they are more fuel-efficient and allow for a smaller engineering department to operate. The Danish ship in this convoy. “USNS”.

Its going to be really interesting watching the sim community start learning fleet tactics! Some recommendations from watching this. - Make sure you understand where the most likely directions of attack are, this will inform you on fleet disposition - i.e. do I want my Principle Air Defender "up threat"? - Maritime warfare is technical warfare, understand the enemy and friendly platforms, what they can do to you and the inverse. - The naval kill chain relies on detecting and engaging the enemy effectively *first*. You did not use your most potent ISTAR asset - which are your helicopters - this could have detected the enemy surface group far outside of their effective detection range. Really looking forward to playing this myself. Great video.

Idk if this works but try deploying the sonar buoys 2 at a time and a couple miles apart from each other so the yellow lines will eventually meet and you could get a rough estimate of where the enemy is

[@ARescueToaster]

Great video! I really love how tense these battles are One tiny thing I'm seeing is that you might be popping chaff a tad early. And now I'm curious about the "life" of chaff once deployed in-game... Also with chaff, and I've seen it happen in a few other Sea Power videos, is that while it works pretty well at times, if you have friendly ships *behind* the chaff deploying ship, the chaff effectively redirects the missile at them! This makes the formation really important As you said in the video, your formation should never be static and should be modified once you learn where the enemy is attacking from. The question I have now is what's the best formation... I'm wondering if you should have your escorts in a "line" running along the angle of attack from the enemy so you have more chances to intercept enemy missiles? I haven't really studied modern naval formations or engagements, so a lot of this will be a huge learning experience for me. Suppose we'll figure all of these little complexities with time (and in my case, many horrible failures) Cya in the next one!

[@Enigma89]

I am most definitely popping the chaff way too early. I am definitely more of a flight simmer than a naval simmer so some of this has been me testing to see how things interact with each other. There is no tutorial in our build so we have to teach ourselves.

[@starfleetau]

One big thing Enigma those helo's should have been up and out way earlier, both scouting and dropping buoy's to give you eyes and ears away from the fleet. Also triangulation is your friend with passives, once you have a bearing offset and drop, offset and drop quicker you can draw triangles quicker you can get an accurate range on the bearing.

[@toasteroven6761]

23:54 Perhaps a 20 mm round struck and damaged a control surface of the missile causing it to slowly veer off course, detailed internal and external modeling of the missiles could be a factor there.

[@PrimarchX]

You did a good job defending against those SSMs. The Perry can only guide a couple of missiles at a time so you have to figure that in to your engagements.

[@Boslandschap1]

Amazing game to watch, looks very promising! Regarding your big idea at 19:42, it seems to me you'd want a couple of sonar buoys out with a couple of miles between them so that you can triangulate and get the exact position of the enemy contacts. After you dropped one, you only had a very imprecise estimation of their location for a good 5 mins before knowing more or less where they were while getting shot at. I imagine that situation could have developed very differently if you had either used the same helicopter to drop another buoy ASAP a few miles out orthogonal to the bearing of the enemy contacts or if you had had a second helicopter dropping another buoy at the same time as the first. Possibly this could have allowed you to pinpoint the source of the attacks earlier, allowing you to be aggressive much earlier.

I recall playing very similar scenarios in Harpoon. Results were similar too, if you let them detect you first, they'll overwhelm you with missiles. Helicopters make great scouts and you can use them to deceive your opponent by launching them and have them travel a parallel course but a number of miles off your track. Does Sea Power let you launch Harpoons with waypoints? I think that should be possible, so you could dog-leg the missile's course so they can't fire down the incoming bearing. Same trick as with Mk48s in Cold Waters

Ok that intro was crazy looked like I was watching a movie

[@A_Pauaw]

I’d like to give you some tips as an active soldier. These are not specifically related to the Navy, but more general advice. Your first priority should be gathering information. Be careful not to get spotted yourself while doing this. Think of it like a sniper who, while moving around, uses his scope or binoculars to scout out interesting points. Applied to maritime operations, as mentioned in other comments, you use helicopters. I haven’t noticed any range limitations for the helicopters yet, so I’m assuming they can fly 'very far or unlimited.' Depending on the situation you’re in and how many assets you have available, I would place at least one sonar buoy behind the formation to detect any followers. Then, secure the flanks with two helicopters and possibly fly ahead with a third. I’m not certain about the detection range of the buoys, but I would place them about 10-15 nm apart. With the third helicopter, go up to around 3000 ft and use its air-to-surface radar, if possible only periodically. Keep the other two flying low. Secondly, I would generally think about where an enemy could come from and adjust the formation accordingly. In the case of this mission, it was clear from the map that maritime enemies could only come from the north-northwest to north-northeast. Therefore, I would have placed one FF (frigate) at the front and the other FF on the left flank of the formation, with the freighters in the center or on the right flank. In limited scenarios, I wouldn’t be too conservative with my missiles-engage targets quickly. I would position the formation of the ships close enough so that the CIWS (Close-In Weapon Systems) can cover each other. The helicopters and/or planes should be used with a wide spread, at least for reconnaissance purposes. Additionally, only activate their sensors when the distance from the fleet is large enough.

[@CWest3910]

Knox class has limited anti air defenses. Put the Perry class forward as an air picket. The Knox class is better suited as an anti submarine platform. Also launching your chaff way to early and make sure you turn out of it one you launch it.

I think the main mistake was engaging too late.

Wasted 6 missles with no targets to hit. Put the ship with the lower range weapons out front of formation. To help with shots on targets. Good idea about firing before the missles were in range tho.

Well, at some point, you thought loudly of getting closer to a missile boat to be able to hit it better if the Harpoons miss. What were you thinking, like guns range closer? Actually, you could have been way better off engaging them on a longer distance. Especially since your Harpoons have an about 5 nm longer range then the opponent's SSN-9's, so the best tactic I would suggest would be to shoot the harpoons at max range and turn southwards to stay out of their range. And shoot about 3 per target in about 10 sec. apart. High chance of hitting and practically 0% of being hit.

[@akd8525]

Don’t understand why the air AI just continues without reaction when locked up and targeted by SAMs. Pilots are literally flying directly into low energy SAMs that they should have known were coming. Maybe they were actually tasked with intercepting SAMs with their airframes?

[@ilovenavalgames1988]

The used Anti Air missiles (Sea Sparrow and SM 1 MR) in the game are Semi-active radar homing missiles. That means they are not working with an own radar to fly to the target. They are guided by the ships radar. The enemy pilot knows that he is detected by an Airborne radar and/or fire control radar but not that a missile is on the way. Of course, he can assume that a missile is on the way when he is picked up by a fire control radar. The problem is only that he doesn’t know where the missile is because the missile is not working with an own radar. I served in the German Navy for 12 years from 1986 to 1998. Last position Chief of Radar and Fire Control on German PGFG´s (fast patrol boats in corvette size with 2 x 3-inch guns, anti-ship missiles and wired controlled anti-ship torpedoes). That makes the game so interesting for me because it is playing in a time where I was in active service.

They didn't look at it as having four harpoons and 36 SM-1s. They looked at it as having 40 anti-ship missiles, taking on a Slava and a couple of Kashins. No real life Perry skipper in his right mind would do that. Anyways, my two cents. Looks like a cool game. Thanks for putting this out.

Hey Enigma, can you make a mission showing us some Air-To-Air fighting? It would be nice to see like a 4v4 and how it goes down!

[@alippay2]

Looks really good. Can you play for the Red side as well?

[@Enigma89]

Yes. Ironically I usually end up playing the non-Americans in most games, for whatever reason all the videos that came out were just American ones. The sonar video I am working on is from the Soviet perspective.

[@alippay2]

@@Enigma89 Perfect. This looks really interesting Oh, and the tile of the video made me think of different escorts. 😀 Thanks for the upload!

[@gibboau85]

Needed to get the Helos up earlier and higher and stay Emcon more.

[@gdwnet]

2:24 - assume direct control - that looks interesting! You said that there is limited ammo on ships, etc is it possible to get them resupplied? Can you change the weather?

[@Jokea222]

That was a hard scenario to have 0 losses on

[@KibuFox]

Welp, you broke the rules of engagement. US rules of engagement say you can't fire on an enemy unless it fires first.

[@kisaragi_san1378]

Doubtful in a Cold War gone hot scenario. The US was shooting first in Desert Storm after all

[@sebastianbenner977]

Does this game include any ships with VLS?

[@ndfgaming6824]

from what i have seen its got Toco class cruisers and Burk class destroyers but i think they are early configurations with twin launchers instead of VLS but i could be wrong

[@kennethschlegel870]

I hope they do VLS tico's , USS Bunker hill was the first and commissioned in 86.

[@Yamaha_Kid]

As for NATO I haven’t seen a modernized Tico or Burke

[@alexchivilev]

it has subs with VLS like oscarr class, los anngeles and so on

[@stburr91]

If you miss a message, there is a log you can pull up.

[@doltBmB]

ah they have the fleet command style right click commands

[@tylerpeeling9699]

Looks like a great game would love to see some canadian assests brought in like 2nd tribal class destroyers

[@andir2185]

it sure automatically slow down as soon as new contact appears?

[@Jammybee]

Your helicopters have surface radars and can fly much higher than a ship :)

[@Enigma89]

I did not know if there were more planes out there or if there were ships with SAMs so I was nervous to fly them really high and start emitting a radar.

[@Jammybee]

@@Enigma89 In other naval games, it is perfectly valid to just have them hovering high over your fleet. So within your air defense bubble but extends your surface detection 10x fold.

[@Enigma89]

@@Jammybee Nice idea

[@pasha_exodite6475]

Hah, I wonder what that Floggers were hoping for. Hit your ships with guns and rockets? ASMs were never fitted to them, as far as I know. I'd like to see MiG-23A and its weapons: actually this navalized Flogger was never put into production

[@Enigma89]

They were firing groms

[@ThunderWT]

Greetings from Russia! It's a pity two little Nanuchka-class corvette :_C But the last one showed up pretty well! You are too sorry for the traps against radar missiles. Ship-type traps, as far as I know, are needed to cover the ship, i.e. a huge cloud is created that prevents the radar from understanding where the target is, and not as in airplanes, diverts the target to itself. So you need to drop the trap in front of you (in front of the rocket) so that it covers you. Also, do not forget to throw several sea buoys at once, because this works according to the triangulation method :) I am glad to see your videos, they are very good

[@mrbrianbrush]

Will this game have an open campaign?

[@NeroontheGoon]

You weren’t overwhelmed, you set yourself up for failure because your formation didn’t allow for interleaved defense. Basically your other ship was useless.

[@PhilipFry.]

Oliver Hazard Perrys always give me WGRD Naval Flashbacks

[@t4rv0r60]

Who was oliver h. perry?

[@JuergenGDB]

There in lies the Soviet tactics. Overwhelm the ships with most likely land-based, or Air assets.... then the ships can finish off whatever is left. You only have so many missiles and defense, but some tactics were not utilized by the US player. No worries the game is not even out yet.

[@ronniehill8213]

Disappointed in the destruction graphics in this game. Reminds me of something from the early 2000's

[@unutentequalsiasi5669]

I hope in new adding like DDR Folksmarine or Italian Navy in future

[@C.M.1996]

Is the track at 6:44 part of an in game soundtrack?

[@Enigma89]

yes

[@2002gaby]

Can we play the Soviets in this one? Or I should wait to for moders to do it?
