Royal Navy Destroyer CRUSHES Soviet Task Force in the Arctic || Cold Waters Surface Gameplay

[@IronBrig4]

Devonshire's skipper needs a Distinguished Service Order, the helicopter crew need Distinguished Flying Crosses, and everyone onboard the ship deserves a Mention in Dispatches.

[@MrJohnycomelately21]

I'd love to see more of the Royal Navy!

[@ijnfleetadmiral]

Devonshire's up in the Arctic...a long way from the South China Sea and Elliott Carver's stealth boat.😆

[@Dimitris_Datseris]

007 reference ?

[@midgarstrife914]

Damn! I don't want to be in that Oscar, stranded at the bottom of the ocean and the water rushing in while a torpedo closing in and you can't do anything to stopped it.

[@doomhippie6673]

As usual - I see Wolfpack, I press the thumbs up button, sit back and relax. Thanks for your wonderful content once again.

[@Wolfpack345]

Thanks!

[@kskeel1124]

​@@Wolfpack345 I look forward to every one of your videos 😊

HMS Devonshire, the destroyer that fought like a battleship

[@DieWitness]

should have had her at the Falklands

[@4192362]

until Elliot Carver sunk her with his Sea Drill😮

[@CASA-dy4vs]

Battlestroyer or debattleship

[@CASA-dy4vs]

Imagine a class that is like a destroyer or has the same speed and capabilities but has the armour and guns of a battleship that would be cool

[@Brecconable]

@@DieWitness sisters HMS Antrim and Glamorgan went south with the Task Force.

[@MrRockwellrob]

The county class destroyers were lovely ships, I was very lucky to visit a couple while they were at Portland England

[@jefferynelson]

that's cool

[@DerekTolley-t8y]

I had 2 GMD in my career in the RN. ANTRIM and FIFE. They were very social ships best Ports always a senior 4 ring Captain in charge. After a refit and through FOST it followed that they deployed to the far east. NORFOLK went east in 1976. ANTRIM 1975 as guard ship for HMRY in the carribean then refitted at PORTSMOUTH dockyard. 1979 we went east to CHINA and Japan. GLAMORGAN went to ASIA 1980. HMS FIFE refitted Portsmouth. EXOCET was fitted in place of B turret. Refit was completed November 1982 . HMS GLAMORGAN was hit by an argentine Exocet. and was damaged badly. It was fortunate she was in a tight turn to stbd as if the excocet hit her full on. it was possible that it would have entered the sea slug magazine. That would make a HOOD scenario. The ships company of HMS Glamorgan were as one to repair a ship after such damage. I take my hat off to them.

[@shellbackgaming2674]

Just as a hint, if you're interested in a little bit more realism and some time to talk, you can change both the surface and subsurface spawn ranges in the settings menu in DotMod. It can make for some interesting scenarios with NATO vs Pact vessels where the Soviets can outrange the NATO ASCMs and provide for some excitement where you're being shot but can't shoot back.

[@emperorofchicken]

So weird - I just started playing Cold Waters with DotMod again yesterday myself. For the first time in months. Then I see Wolfpack has posted a Cold Waters video!! Love the Cold Waters DotMod content. Keep both surface and sub warfare vids coming, Wolfpack!!

[@raidermaxx2324]

Hi! so yea i thought Cold Waters was a submarine game, is DotMod a mod that lets you play as ships or something?

[@mr.atomic2970]

My Favourite Cold War Navies are the British Royal Navy, The Royal Netherlands Navy, The Federal German Navy, The US Navy and the Soviet Navy.

[@script_crafter]

I love the variety of games that you play and post! Love to see the switching up to keep everything fresh! Best of health to you mate :]

[@Wolfpack345]

Thank you!

[@johnscott107]

I served on HMS Norfolk, The Devonshire never got exocet, but it is fun to see a country in action. From what i remember the seacat and seaslug had difficulty hitting a barn door lol

[@arandombox5176]

Utter nonsense. I was actually on The Devonshire and Exocet was our main and best weapon. You've clearly never served. Fucking Walt!!

[@stephennelmes4557]

I don't know if Devonshire had exocet or not, ( Google it ) but their weapons ( County Class) were crap. Seaslug 18 NM range, beam rider, slow to load, only one fired at a time,..crap. Seacat 3 NM range, subsonic so no chance at crossing targets. Exocet 22.5 NM range, again subsonic. 10 Exocet were fired in the late 80s, 2 never left the box, 3 had faulty altimeters hitting waves halfway to the target. Only 5 worked. And at the time the Soviet anti ship missiles had ranges of 160 NMs That's a bit crap. And the Fifes galley + JRDH was full of cock roaches.

[@tomriley5790]

Whoever built this modd was extremely optimisitic. I remember listening to someone who was on one of the County class during the Falklands. Sea slug was described as being used as a "bird scarer" no chance of hitting anything but the sight of it being fired put off alot of pilots from going near it! Similarly Seacat (a visually guided SAM) had such a short range that it would just about start gaining on the enemy aircraft when the missile would run out of fuel. No real need to torpedo the Oscar - could have given the crew a chance to survive.

[@Brecconable]

Officer of the Watch, make Revolutions Two Zero Zero.

[@markstott6689]

Thanks for doing a Royal Navy episode. ❤

[@terencericketts8017]

I served on HMS Devonshire 1966-68, great ship and ships company.

[@servicekid7453]

The SeaSlug was an absolutely yuuugge missile. Like firing a bus at a target 😂😂😂

[@tardismechanic2319]

Pretty ruthless to fire a torpedo at the Oscar on the bottom. Then I remembered the sumbitch would do the same if the positions were reversed. Great vid.

[@jamietus1012]

Looking forward to seapower coming out so we can see these surface ships used properly in a task force. Hopefully that game has some RN and if I may be so hopeful, RAN ships

[@connycontainer9459]

Since it's beeing published by reemerged Microprose, I do have high hopes actually that the final product will be pretty good. That and Modern Naval Warfare plus Uboat and Ultimate Admirals and my naval needs are satisfied for the foreseeable future. Good times.

[@Cris-xy2gi]

IIRC, there will be a decent number of ships/aircraft from other nations besides the US and USSR. Iran, Germany, UK to name a few.

[@snigie1]

That Oscar captain always wanted to be a battleship captain and damned if he wasn't going to live out his dream!

[@joshfeathers4841]

Finally the best navy in the world getting some recognition 😂🇬🇧💪🏼

[@walkerhartge9177]

The reason the Subs surfaced is so they can fire their missiles. They don't have underwater launch capabilities.

[@scarney29]

Then it's modeled incorrectly. Oscars most certainly have the ability to launch submerged.

[@corbinsampson5350]

Great to get some Cold Waters this week, I wouldn't mind seeing a campaign with a surface ship if possible.

[@simonbird1973]

The Sea Slug missile magazine ran the entire length of the starboard side. One hit would of destroyed the entire ship. Also the Sea Slug couldn’t hit a barn door at 50 yards let alone a subsonic aircraft! 😅

[@Ronck]

Love this series❤, keep going!

[@alexmonk]

I usually watch your old Silent Hunter and War in the Sea series - and they are more slow. I've saw that you have new video and checked it. Wow, such action! Much shooting! Thank you :)

[@Sbeckford0000]

14:23 that ending part of the score sounded like something from Thomas & Friends.

[@45CaliberCure]

Outstanding. Did not expect that kind of fast action from the start! Loving the ABDACOM run, as well!

[@jeffwiltshire]

Neither Seaslug or Seacat were designed to engage Missiles.

[@thefinalsurvivur6161]

Very excited about Sea Power!

[@shawnp6653]

Love these surface engagements - thanks for sharing? When do you think we'll gt Sea Power?

[@nbp92]

My guess is that since this is meant to be a submarine game and since this mod let's you play as a surface ship, maybe the submarines' programming is making them act as they were surface ships with the option to submerge...

[@WednesdayAddamsMW]

The Oscar's captain probably wanted to see the sun for a few minutes. 18:30 He might be okay. *three seconds later* Well, no... probably not now.

[@tedrossi1514]

Wolfpack is the best he plays the games I'm fascinated with but I lack the time and skill to play. Allows me to enjoy these games without driving myself crazy. Thank you sir

Any RN-guys here? What is the reload time for those Sea Slugs? Seems too fast here, or?

[@forcea1454]

Hope they introduce a Sea Slug model in the next update, rather than using the Sea Dart Missile as a placeholder.

[@C2K777]

"Exocet" - that munition the RN loved to deploy so much. Ohhhhh. Wait 🙄🤔

[@CommonSwindler]

Enjoyable video. “We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay, They never see us but they wish us away; If they run, why we follow, and run them ashore, For if they won't fight us, what can we do more? Heart of Oak are our ships, Jolly Tars are our men, We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.”

[@Zulgurub]

the sub is trying to match depth with target, and sinc eyou are on the surface, it surfaces. It's intended behavior for anti-sub but they didn't update it when adding surface combatants.

[@clifftrimble2616]

HMS Devonshire (D02) was in the James Bond Movie.. Tomorrow Never Dies.. In real life she was decommissioned in 1978 and sunk as a target on 17 July 1984..

[@fhlostonparaphrase]

Yup, but the Devonshire in Tomorrow Never Dies wasn't a County class, apparently a Type 23.

[@beaverdam1199]

Can't wait for sea power, you could make it alot more fair as you both could control fleets!

[@hmmjedi]

Great video as to the County Class Destroyer her SAM's are or where pretty bad 1st Gen SAM's... though hitting a Krivak with a Seaslug or 2 would cause them a slight issue as they weighed in at around 1 ton apiece and the propellent wasn't exactly exactly good for breathing though with all that metal hitting your ship at around Mach1 or so might be of more immediate concern. As to the Seacat this was the first operational point defence missile though saying that it was a good missile is an understatement as it was only capable of Mach 0.8 as it was designed from an anti-tank missile, but always a good idea to throw at the enemy to keep them confused... gun wise the Batch 1's came with 2 twin turrets and no exocets Batch 2's came with the exocets and the batch 1's had the B Turret replaced with Exocet. But for real fun look at how they moved the helo to the pad in rough weather it would have been an interesting time for all involved...

[@fhlostonparaphrase]

Wasn't the Sea Cat aimed by joystick? :D Obsolete by 1982 certainly.

[@fernandomarques5166]

​​@@fhlostonparaphrase depends on the variant the mk.21 introduced the bad weather and low-vis radar cued system, now the mk.24 was entirely radar guided with an automatic mode The mk.20 and mk.21 version were indeed CLOS guided as they were designed to use the 40mm bofors gun directors for guidance.

[@Ragefps]

Well you did say surface gameplay. Guess the Oscar captain delivered!

[@totalnerd5674]

Amazing that the helicopters work... could we see working aircraft carriers in the future?

[@davidpratthk]

I served on the last one of these (Antrim ). 1) Seaslug was designed for high flying bombers. Its a beam riding guidance system You can only guide one at a time. So, why fire 2 ? There is also no way they could ever intercept an incoming missle. Also the "slug", designed in the 40's was only ever credited with one hit in all its life. A cow shed on the range in Wales where it went rogue. Devonshire had a Mk1 system and Antrim had a "better" Mk2 system. Both a total waste of space. Sea Cat - a joke of a system and was visually aimed with a radar assist. A CIWS ? A longboww would have better success. Exocet, obviously a modern weapon and effective but you only have 4 and no reload. So basically the only real weapon is the gun and small arms.

[@georgea5991]
