Running the Gauntlet || Sea Power Gameplay - New Naval Simulation

[@roberthavran2522]

I feel like strictly maintaining EMCON backfires more often than not. I mean there's time and place for EMCON for example when you know you are up against a large surface action group whose missile barrage can easily overwhelm your defences in which case maintaining stealth is crucial for survival. But in this case it allowed the enemy to launch a surprise attack.

[@mumblerinc.6660]

EMCON is good. Not radiating when an enemy air attack is almost within visual range isn’t EMCON, it’s just suicidal.

[@WeGoToMars]

I thought Wolfpack was doing it kinda intentionally to show off exciting high-risk situations.

[@peterfruchtig5334]

@@mumblerinc.6660 Yeah, but how do you know something is attacking if you don't use the radar?

[@zanaduz2018]

The realities of EMCON: damned if you do, damned if you don’t. One of the hardest things to call and easy to backseat or armchair general it. A more general idea is to have a remote asset (like a helo or a Hawkeye) provide some radar at a stand-off if you expect contact; the asset you use as a radar picket is necessarily going to be semi-expendable, since it will likely attract fire as it radiates.

[@danielross7983]

Some friendly advice... Once you've been fired at, there's no point going back to EMCON - You're not going fast enough to clear the target area once you've been detected. And considering the situation, it could be assumed from the get go that the enemy has a pretty good idea of where you are, so in this type of scenario it's better to have early warning. Also... streaming the tail below the layer when you are escorting surface vessels is less effective as enemy subs are likely to be above the layer to detect your cargo ships. You might catch them if they have to sprint to catch up, which they would do IRL below the layer.... All this is dependent on how accurate to real world SOP the AI behaves.

[@wastelander89]

I agree

[@baconx4]

I was on a Knox class frigate in the eighties and I went to Narvik, Norway. What a trip to watch this video.

[@darrellhartanto4428]

As others point out, EMCON is good when you are unsure about enemy composition, and it is safe. and if you see multiple air contacts closing in, maintaining EMCON is almost like you trying to surrender; it's coming in hot and fast, so might the be enemy; open the radar and fire, and it does not really matter if you turn it off or on again, once you turn it on, it's game on (if modelled in game)

[@Jollygreen07]

Wolfpack, have you or any other early testers given any feedback about the damage control simulation in this game? Anything is possible, but one small AshM should not set an American warship steaming in condition I on fire from stem to stern.

[@tachometer74]

From the videos I've seen it feels as if surface ships are too fragile. I don't think I've seen a frigate nor destroyer take a hit and survive.

[@peterfruchtig5334]

Ships can easily be destroyed by a single missile. The Exocets and dumb bomb hits of the Falkland war are a great example of that. Even though the fuses if the Exocets malfunctioned the kinetic energy and leftover propellant was enough to cripple a warship. Dumb bombs also failed to go off because the arming distance was to short for low level attacks against ships. The bombs don't have propellant which can cause fires and they still did critical damage to some ships just from kinetic energy alone. From a gameplay standpoint this damage model is frustrating, but in many cases it seems to be pretty realistic. Many missiles are bigger, heavier, faster and feature a bigger warhead than WW2 battleship maingun shells. Edit: The Mig 23 missile here seems to be a bit to powerful though.

[@Jollygreen07]

Like I said, anything is possible. I’m not discounting the golden BB or lucky shot that takes out enough DC capacity to lose the ship, but it seems like every ship is totally screwed after a single hit, regardless of the missile. Shipwreck hitting a Knox FF? Sure. I’ll buy that. Not this scenario, though.

[@ger_airfighter]

The devs have stated that they'll work on it. Surface ships are too fragile atm

[@magnum6763]

Damage Control is the problem. A single AShM should be able to take a ship down without DC, but with DC it should be a lot harder

[@weztankersley2293]

I really like your playthroughs with commentary. To watch what tasks you are doing with a hint of explanation and what you are thinking is super helpful. Thanks!

[@bobkile9734]

Why do destroyers have only 1 DC team? And why do fires spread much? For reference, USS Stark was hit by 2 missiles, and survived.

[@morrischen5777]

Knox class use high-presure steam turbine engine and it's highly explosive when damaged I think. The missile hit directly midship under the funnel so...

[@TamamoF0X]

It because DC team focus on flooding first, this allows the fire to spread to the rest of the ship and killing it.

[@randomknight2585]

@@TamamoF0Xthere should probably be some general damage control systems in addition to the DC Teams. I mean I’ve never worked on a navy ship, and I don’t know for sure how many of the sailors would be knowledgeable enough to form ad-hoc DC teams, but I would think at least one would know how to use a fire extinguisher.

[@ryu1940]

asking a legit question and something I hope mods will address in the future. Most USN ships will have at least 3 DC teams one in Repair 2, Repair 3, and Repair 5. These will be fully manned teams of extremely trained personnel but in addition to these, all sailors will have adequate knowledge of DC methods and can jump into repair teams if necessary to combat losses and in fact most sailors will be in a repair party when in port duty so they are constantly trained to fight fires or stop flooding.

[@sonniedae6398]

@@randomknight2585 Just like all Marines are riflemen, all sailors are damage controlmen. They have their primary duties but are also all trained to help in a situation where the ship gets hit. Whether that involves helping fight fires, maintaining battle readiness and awareness for another attack, or providing search and rescue/first aid to sailors who are hurt or trapped. This is how the modern US Navy handles it and as far as I know has been since WWII or older.

[@danielross7983]

If you look at the after action reports from the Falklands conflict, fire is the biggest danger to ships and has been since the age of sail. The AI seems to concentrate on flooding first, which is not realistic. DC teams would fight fire first. There are so many flammable materials on ships of that period. Wiring... kerosene, oil and lubricant residues in the air conditioning ducts, munitions etc. What SHOULD be possible is to activate the ABC shower (basically a network of nozzles all over the superstructure that creates a cloud of sea water around the ship to wash it) - That would also help fight the fire. It would also look really cool in the game.

[@TheLooney1976]

The problem with that is that the deck-wash system uses the same pumps as the fire hoses. You're not going to set your decks awash to put out a fire, that's pointless, you'll need every bar of pressure on those hoses to fight the fire.

[@Magicannon_]

It's interesting to see some of the bits of randomness. I have seen an earlier vid of another content creator who was not secure with EMCON. They dealt with the Floggers, but were ruined by the missile boats launching from north of the islands. Perhaps they are given waypoints to come south and Wolfpack's pause for the torpedo threat put them way too far ahead of when they would be in position to intercept the convoy. I get that once you know the scenario there are no more surprises, but I wonder if it's right to sweep with radar for a bit while the helos are launching just to have some sort of picture. The Floggers certainly knew to expect the convoy.

[@sorrrbet4923]

EMCON silent is ONLY effective against surface threats because they have similarly ranged radars, and you’ll know before they do (thanks to ESM kit). If there is an air threat, you should always be turning and burning radars because they can know about you hundreds of miles away.

[@akd8525]

Not sure if they are working correctly in the game, but going dead in the water should make it easier for a wake-homing torpedo to kill your ship. The wake-homing torpedo detects the disturbance in the water left by a wake long after a ship has passed the position, then follows the disturbance back to its origin. Stopping just means it will get to your current position (the end of the wake disturbance) earlier. Luckily, the sub took its shots at you way too early.

[@Darkmatterdwarf]

The whole EMCOM thing doesn't really work out great, Blasting the radar to see and intercept earlier might just be the better thing atm.

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but I thought it was standard to use the dipping sonar until you had a fix on the the submarine and then time to drop a ring of sonobouys around the the possible contact and then use the MAD or drop the torpedoes. Yeah, I was just a US Army truck driver, but I hung out with enough sailors to pick up a few tips.

Poor Old USS Pharris, Always being damaged, At least in Red Storm she wasn't sunk.

[@rustyshackleford1508]

You're far too used to playing a submarine with your strict adherence to EMCOM. You can't relocate along the Z axis like a sub can, no point to turning it off once you're in missile range. Surface actions are always going to turn into slugging matches, no two ways about it.

[@felixN1]

I think there is maybe an issue with the AS-7 worth reporting to the devs. Stealth17 did also a scenario with a Spruance DD where one missile hit and the ship went from light damage to a catastrophic loss in minutes. It is a short range missile with a relative small warhead (245lb) and ships that survived hits with Harpoons in other scenarios shouldn't go down after one of these impacted. I could understand that this happens as random event in case of a magazine explosion, but it seems it is reproducible.

[@BWIENS789]

Developers have already stated they're not happy with how damage and damage control works currently. A rework is planned.

No, it would lose guidance and the controls would stop adjusting course to stay on target. It is a radio beam-riding missile and the pilot has to stay on a course toward the target to maintain guidance making the attacking aircraft extremely vulnerable. Also think they have to attack from some altitude to properly guide the missile. They would be terrible anti-ship weapons against targets with air defenses.

[@yann9915]

Is it actually realistic for one missile to then lead to uncontrollable fire spread, a billion secondary explosions etc. Etc. On these newer ships? Are they really prone to that type of stuff and designed with the idea of never getting hit, and if they do, then they are probably done for anyways so why make them capable of surviving a hit? Or is it just the game not really simulating damage control correctly?

[@masterdynamo6457]

Devs aren't happy with the damage at the moment. It's extreme. HOWEVER, in concept, it's not wrong. Modern ships are indeed designed to never be hit in the first place, and while damage control teams are skilled and well-equipped, the likelihood of saving the ship from a major hit is always going to be low, especially compared to the old WWII hulls which were built--and armoured--like tanks.

[@horrido666]

There is always the chance on any class of ship, in any era for fires to spread in an out of control way. Its is the number one fear among crews. Every crewman on a naval ship is trained in firefighting. There is just a lot of stuff that burns. Navies of course try to keep burnable things to an absolute minimum, but there is hydraulic lines, fuel, ammunition, bedding, electronics, ect ect.

[@bigdog91paper]

It seems to me damage is way too high right now for most weapons. One of the previous videos where ships were being actually sunk by a single missile intended for AA seemed excessive. It seems like ships are also never just abandoned and burnout to a husk without sinking, everything always sinks it seems. idk, not a huge fan of the damage modeling to this point because yeah, it seems like any hit at all practically cripples the entire ship every time.

[@Combatsmithen]

As far as I know sonar is extremely useful for detecting ships farther away than you can with radar IRL. Obviously, you can't get much information, but you know something is there.

[@jamison884]

Are there any naval experts who care to comment on the deadliness of anti-ship missiles and the spread of fire/secondary explosions we see depicted in the Cold War era of Sea Power, and how it would likely compare to the real world in that era? On one hand, we have Sinkex events where it takes a significant number of missiles, bombs, and other munitions to destroy US Navy ships in particular, but I know they're fully prepared before hand, removing as much toxic and flammable materials, and of course, there's no munition stores. On the other hand, they often leave bulkhead doors open and there's no damage control of any kind to fight flooding. For newer ships that those depicted in Sea Power, we also have the incredible endurance, modern build quality/materials, and impressive weight-to-effectiveness ratio we witness for modern warship armor. Despite lacking the traditional heavy steel armor belts and other concepts from WWII ships, with many inches of armor in multiple layers, modern ship armor appears to be quite resilient when considering the massive reduction of pure weight - this is with the one exception of the modernized Iowa class battleships featured in Sea Power. This is then combined with very high quality training regarding fire and damage control for certain navies. Then there's the fact modern anti-ship missiles and the defensive weapons designed to defeat them have both advanced significantly. I guess I question Sea Power's modeling a bit, as it appears a majority of ships will sink with just one missile hit, almost regardless of warhead size. My unprofessional guess is that the 1980's era ships in Sea Power likely had at least a little bit better survivability. Then, regarding present-day modern defense systems (Aegis and accompanying weapon systems such as: SM-2/SM-3/SM-6/ESSM/RIM-116 RAM/CIWS/SeaRAM/autocannons/127mm or 76mm cannons/chaff/flares/electronic warfare), I believe it would be significantly more difficult to hit a modern-day warship, at least the designs which are several decades beyond Sea Power's era. I'm excluding the Moskva and Russian Navy training from this particular question/evaluation. Apparently the systems on that ship were half broken/faulty and Russian Navy crews don't have the greatest reputations. Meanwhile, we see the US Navy shooting down hundreds of targets collectively over the past year or so. I imagine the more modern designs of present-day ships allow for better protection and isolation of munitions/magazines, plus improved bulkhead design and automated fire suppression systems to isolate the spread of fire, added to quality crew training, resulting in modern warships being both more difficult to hit in the first place, and notably more resilient to being entirely knocked-out/sunk if they were hit, in comparison to the ships and era depicted in Sea Power. I'd love to hear from someone who is highly educated or experienced on this topic though.
