Sea Power Early Access E02 First Look Air Ambush

[@DabaksolGuardPost]

0:46 Soldier: "Sir, a pirate radio station is continually interfering with our spy communication system and broadcasting anti-Soviet agitation" Brezhnev: "Let it be, it's not worth going to war over it." Soldier: "And also sir, this radio station is mentioning something about your eyebrows." Brezhnev: "Say no more, mobilize the army."

Great video, i like it when KZbinrs create their own Missions instead of spoilering the stock Missions.

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks, appreciated! However, the next mission in the series will be a stock mission, and you have reminded me to put a spoiler alert on it so people can choose to watch or come back to the video after playing the mission for themselves. Also, let me know if you have any cool ideas for a custom mission, and I will see what I can do...

[@ARescueToaster]

Oh, I really hope this scenario gets shared when early access opens up! Glad to see you covering this game too :)

[@Marshal_Dunnik]

I've watched a lot of inventive intros to a Sea Power video, but this one takes the cake!

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!

[@redgriffindiver7740]

Appreciate the insight into the displays and controls.

[@Simmer4Decades]

I must second this. I truly appreciate this approach as it will help on launch day.

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

You're very welcome!

[@macilree]

The single track of music played by the pirate radio station reminds me of a story my late father told me from his WW2 experiences as a pilot with the RNZAF. He was accommodated in the then New Hebrides near a US serviceman with a gramophone who played The Yellow Rose of Texas over and over and over again!

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks for sharing, what a great story!

[@justderp5713]

Looks like barrels of fun!

[@ThraceVega]

I played Herb Alpert's "A walk in the black forest" on a loop for the length of the video for full immerson. Great work!

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Oh, that is brilliant!

[@donaldwrightson]

It's either freedom or "You go to Gulag"!!! lol Great new series,Gus!!! Looking forward to more,great video!!!! Cheers!!!!

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks, appreciated! And more to come!

[@donaldwrightson]

@@gusmcdollstrategy I'll be waiting!!!!! 😀

[@עודד-כ7ל]

Outstanding video

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!

[@Perktube1]

KGB operative: So, the premiere liked your plan of sending an assassin to the oil platform? Agent Putin: Nyet. Operative: And the idea of installing a more powerful transmitter in the numbers station? Putin: Nyet.

[@sedatedape315]

The mission editor looks amazing in this game! Glad to see the game will handle ground based air attacks as well as what I've seen with carrier based ones. Great video and nice look at mission editor. I already plan to purchase this game during early release. Hurry Up November 12th!

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks for the comment! The game is a lot of fun to play, and I think it is going to be very, very popular.

[@NE-Explorer]

Great work. Maybe you can follow up with the island broadcasting "Taiwan is a country" and my pet panda bear....we are talking hypersonics tho lol

[@bubagut1]

Great mission

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!

[@kadencollins6191]

Came for Fleet Command stayed for Sea Power

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Hope you enjoy both! Sea Power really is a worthy successor to Fleet Command.

[@haouribi]

Guys, public release in 9 days!

[@frankb4517]

3 Foo Fighters passed at 9 o’clock @ 24:07

[@largezo7567]

Even individual fishermen have been modelled in the trawler!

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

There are a lot of little touches and attention to detail in the game just like this - hangar doors opening, radars only rotating when active, aircraft wheels retracting, and so on.

[@adp231]

SARH missiles require active, constant radar lock. EMCOM does not help in this situation. I will leave the sub and wait for more! I hope you will manage to improve the performance of your computer.

[@etipsbellum771]

what about datalink?

[@adp231]

@etipsbellum771 SARAH missiles need radar tracking from their launch platform. Literally these missiles fly to a point that is constantly tracked by the launch platform radar, in this case it should be the Tomcat radar.

[@bobtank6318]

Fire control radars ignore EMCON in game

[@adp231]

@@bobtank6318 Fire control radar = air search radar for this aircraft.

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Thanks, appreciate the comment, and excellent point about SARH missiles! I should have set the EMCON condition on the aircraft.

[@glennielsen7982]

Does the game support dual monitors? It'd be nice to park the tac map, etc., on another screen.

[@striehassus]

I asked this on steam, it is not a priority for now. But they are considering it later

[@GoldenRivet]

The North Sea is the last place you’d find an SSN 😬

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

I took some liberties...!

[@GoldenRivet]

@ I know - I really like the scenario!! 😁

[@DrydockDreamsGames]

Gus, are you using OBS for your recording, or is that another app?

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

I use GeForce Experience for recording in 4K. But I am pushing my computer to its limits! Still, the game is great!

[@DrydockDreamsGames]

@gusmcdollstrategy switch to OBS, give it a try, it's free 😏

[@Black-Re4per]

What are the most modern assets in the game currently, anything from the 90s?

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

The game covers the late 1940s to 1991, so the Cold War period only. You could do missions in the 1990s, but only with assets from before then. By comparison, Fleet Command is set in the 1990s onwards. But I would not be surprised if the modding community fills the gap.

[@AlgorithmicHearts]

can we draw frontlines in the map?

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

There is a drawing tool, for drawing straight lines. But I am not sure about drawing in the mission editor.

[@NE-Explorer]

Are there thermal layers for the submarines

[@Radintoriov]

There are both thermal layers and convergence zones

[@NE-Explorer]

​@Radintoriov it's pretty essential in Cold waters to get below layers so the target can't hear a launch transient...it will take a while to figure out if this makes a difference in this game. Thanks!

[@NE-Explorer]

The submarine lingo for an air engagement is underwhelming.

[@musti3853]

He doesn't know 💀

[@NE-Explorer]

​@@musti3853 contact faded? or is that cic center chatter in the background. And what's with the russians

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

I think that the voice files might be updated during Early Access to be better suited to ships, submarines and aircraft, and localised to the relevant country. This is a pre-Early Access version, so not polished yet.

[@Kiwoeoe]

I understand it's all shits and giggles, but the second the RWR of the TUs went off and warned them about the E-3, the TUs would have gone to the moon.☝🥸

[@robertfrauchiger838]

And the F15 wouldn't get into gun range if it had remaining missles

[@gusmcdollstrategy]

Really good point, I think perhaps they were trying to defect...?
