Wargame: Red Dragon Campaign - Bear vs Dragon (1979) #1

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Sorry about the left side being cut off, there seems to have been a recording error for the first 3 episodes! Will fix from episode 4.

[@wdsf3178]

A hint of using anti-ship airplanes: Bring them in a line perpendicular to the heading of your target, and turn them towards the target when all of your planes spawned! By doing this your planes will form a “wall” flying towards the enemy (instead of a “chain”), and thus all the planes will fire their missiles at the same time, giving them more chance to overrun the target’s CIWS. This tactic would be useful for F18s and A6s in the Second Korean War campaign :)

[@wdsf3178]

Also, ships in Wargame have their respective weaknesses in turns of CIWS. For example, Nanuchka doesn’t have any proper CIWSs (all its AK630s are mounted on the back) towards its front so it should be attacked head-on. Yet Hatsuyuki should be dealt in the total opposite way :)

[@wdsf3178]

Really enjoy your video man, thumb up!

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Cheers for the tips!

[@SEAsia_RTS]

U need to make video on this bro.

[@WoobooRidesAgain]

"We have reports now that the armored battalion of the Long Wang Attack Force has successfully penetrated deep into the rear of the enemy!" "Why are you all snickering like that? Was there something funny about the Long Wang's push into the enemy's tender--okay, what's so damn funny?!"

[@frost9041]

A year late but, whatever, would it be funnier if I told you that it Long Wang translates into Dragon King?

[@SnazBrigade]

I wish more people liked Naval Combat in Red Dragon. I just think the mechanics of trying to overwhelm CIWS and strategically placing key ships within the CIWS of other less important ships is pretty neat. I also wish that river boats could be used on more land maps. I want to use monitors more.

[@96Waffler]

its not really bad tbh its just when people see navy they expect like 17th/18th century close quarters broadsides (you know the kind of stuff you'd see in a pirates of the Caribbean movie) having two fleets of ships just site on opposites sides of each other while slowly shooting missiles at each other is just not as exciting and get boring very quickly once you get over the novelty of it i think thats the main issue its one of excitement than of functionality

[@DaCouchWarrior]

Naval in this game really sucks ass

[@dantunsoiu7177]

The starting videos for the campaign are very very good, love them :D

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Cheers!

VulcanHDGaming also I like how the russians use T-34-85 in 1979

[@SerialWaffleStomper]

@@dantunsoiu7177 They also use T-62 in 2023 :>

8:03 Please don't tell me that I'm the only person who finds this hilarious.

[@ZariguellazulHD]

I know it was 2 years ago... but ye, long wang is and will always be hilarious

[@CatnicImprover]

@@ZariguellazulHD Thank you Rafa! After the year we've all had, I needed to hear that!

[@shadow344bh]

Hehehe, Long Wang

[@nogodsnomasters7669]

Vulcan-Much better start to this campaign looking forward to you smashing the reds in the face! Won’t give you any advice as you have already recorded several episodes. Great stuff mate!

[@DaReaperZ]

Long Wang is possibly the best name for an attack force. You'd almost think the Chinese were compensating for something.

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Yeah I know right....

[@DaGoook]

“Dragon King” is the meaning most likely

[@gertrudegrosse6487]

Really love your campaigns on Wargame : Red Dragon. Great content =D. I also watch your world domination campaign on your other channel, great fun to watch as always. =) keep it up !

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Thanks, glad to see you still watching! :)

[@JamesSmith-cd6rf]

This campaign is rough on tactical use of ones units. Just the sheer amount of accuracy in placement is crippling if you do it wrong.

[@ae_alex]

Really hoping you playthrough all the campaigns here in Red Dragon. Loved Busan Pocket and I can tell I'll love Bear vs Dragon as well. Always enjoy seeing your tactical decisions in these vids and learning from them.

[@TheKerberos84]

I play the same Campaign today, you deal way better in this Navy battle as me.

[@kyanderson2461]

I love these videos please do more of them . i love Red dragon . Thank you . Ky

[@avengermkii7872]

I think the recording for this session derped a little bit lol. The video is cut off a bit on the left side. The naval battle reminded me of a video that Rangroo did about the expectations vs reality in Wargame. The last bit was just 8 minutes of naval warfare because it's literally 18th century musket men shooting at each other and missing.

[@gordonholon]

if you line up the anti ship planes and make them fire at the same time it will take much less to destroy the enemy

[@DaCouchWarrior]

This man is just so damn lucky with enemy ships that i cant even describe it. Like 7 out of 10 enemy rockets hit my ships, and only 2 out of my 10 hits enemy. It sucks. Like two Nanushka and one Sovremenniy tanked 10 of my Moskit and three Luda!

[@4T3hM4kr0n]

I keep thinking that you're saying "I don't want my muskets to fire"

[@ArchiWannabe]

Keep these coming Vulcan!

[@BrorealeK]

Naval battles are all about making a deathball of anti-missile ships around your big heavy hitters.

[@nicolasc3183]

It's good idea to attack only with the fleets so the marines could launch attack right next round. And if you send the marines to naval combat, try forming a wall with Shanghai in the front of your fleet for they can't be targeted with missiles while having a fine AA

[@wonderingalbatross2400]

Korean captains sound having more passion than chinese captains. Why are they always so passionate and full of energy?

[@PHALANX5]

Dude trying to destroy the sovremenny was the hardest part of this campaign, having no choice but to hold my najins back and getting hit by asms from 8k meters away was tough. I think it took me like 8 to finally bring down both of them. I havent even got to fight the udaloys yet.

[@bobbot5400]

Moskit brother, use them for strategic destruction of bigger ships and use Luda for direct on naval contact. Then once one is destroyed, they will keep it in their HQ. Rocket arty can be added for suppression and morale damage aswell. Just my sense on how I did this battle.

[@alexandercarter2208]

Hi! love your video, helped me alot. one little point, the yi in Yubuyi is pronounced like the letter e, like yu bei e

[@toomanycooks6686]

Not sure why but the left side of your screen got cut off a bit.

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Thanks for pointing that out, it will be apparent for the next two videos unfortunately. Seems to be a recording error. :/

[@theRealBattleSnail]

I find this campaign to be the hardest one by far. I'm looking forward to how you do this one :D

[@RedBull34xxxxx]

Snail I would agree. Personally this was the hardest followed by Pearl. Climbing Mt. CAN be hard, but if you capture three airports quickly, it's a cakewalk. 2nd Korean is just long, it's not hard. Really fun though.

[@asd1234asd1234asd]

Is it just me or is the screen crop a bit too left? The right have a black bank and left got some screen cropped

[@dskim8075]

plus it is an extra gift to hear an Englishman refer to a Chinese general as "chap" xD

[@dskim8075]

nice :3 loving the campaign battles!

[@zachsimmons6824]

I know im 6 years late, but i have no idea how you only lost one unit. You make it look so easy. I try to be tactical but i lose so many.

[@RaeSyngKane]

luv the campaigns, keep it up!

[@bryanminghan]

Won the first naval battle by immediately deploying all 8 anti-ship jets to destroy the first command ship. The second command ship and all Russian ships headed towards my navy so we engaged in a close quarter brawl that culminated with me sending a damaged Moskit close enough that when it blew up, the Russian command ship also blew up.

[@TheShrecker]

Yeah interesting to see the campaigns run after all the balance changes

[@ColinoDeani]

Im doing this mission now.. im pretty good at land battles but the sea battle has me stumped.. im eager to see how you pull it off O_o

[@sirrush503]

I really enjoy some more Wargame content, Vucan. It's a real shame that the AI is so derpy making the campaign a bit silly, some multiplayer would be awesome.

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Not sure if I'll be playing multiplayer for a while but I'll see what I can do.

I was trying not to laugh.

[@pdittrich]

dont forget they have a missile called "Long Dong". its not in WG though, I think its a SCUD copy or sth. speaking of, since the Dutch of all people got the "Lance" SRBM, why did the soviets never get Scuds?

After watching other play this campaign, you make these pretty weak PLA forces seem like the best!

[@robertjohngriffin1594]

Woot new campaign

[@jamesandrewmcnamara2303]

Be careful Vulcan!

[@dskim8075]

also when referring to North Korean units you can pronounce J's as you would pronounce the word "jam," and you're good

[@DaReaperZ]

How do you know that about the pronounciation? I suppose you are Korean? Edit: Yeah it's quite obvious when I see the videos. Are there differences between South Korean dialects and North Korean ones?

[@doscake2214]

Hi vulcan :D

[@fran87blacon]

Naval battles fairly terrible. Tip i find works is getting enemy ai to wastes all missiles by micro managing round islands and smoke pain it the arse but works will little to no lost units and planes need to be called in at same time as you need at least 4 missiles firing at once for 1 of the 4 missiles to get past cwis

[@matt-bl8cx]

I really wanna see how you do it. I guess my ass kicked after the first one. they tend to drown me in tanks

[@jamesandrewmcnamara2303]

goin' to have play WGRD again!

[@avidreader9817]

@15:50 Watching Saucy's play-through (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnPXanp4otKDarc), the AI has been just as derpy with their ATGMs ever since the game was released... I think it was due to complaints after the ALB release that it was too campy, so they made it super-aggressive on practically all settings... (Not that it matters for RD campaigns, since the AI settings can't be changed for those anyway.) @28:50 Anti-ship missiles cannot target "riverine" boats in this game, which includes the Shanghai (and more annoyingly the Komars). That can be gamed so those Migs do virtually no damage in this fight... @34:00 this mission is very luck-dependent, particularly in term of losses you take. With virtually the same tactics (save just before ships open fire in each of the two "rounds" against each Sov) you can have no losses or lose 2 ludas, 1 najin, 7 moskits (chain reactions) and 3 A5s. That's an insane difference in outcomes... The best strategy is probably just baiting out the migs with Shanghais and taking out all of them before trying to move on the 2nd Sov. Since after the initial wave the AI doesn't move his remaining Sov+2nanuskas, it's fairly feasible and wins on points while destroying the plane squadron. If you don't take more than 700pts in losses (or so) it's total victory and the last Sov gets ejected from Vladivostock anyway.

[@oninojohn]

pls do them all, good sir

[@rajsinge1653]

As a chinese I found it is absurd since china is in absolute disadvantage comparing with ussr in 70s.Especially lacking motor devisions.

[@military0f21stcentury2]

yeah some "chinese" named "raj" 🤣

[@-awoodstory1561]

Hey, I can't play against the red flag (Soviet Union, North Korea and all the rest) which means I can only fight against the blue flag (USA, Germany and more...) I would appreciate it if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

[@thestonerstrategist9648]

Is there any chance of seeing new multiplayer Wargame or is the game just well and truly dead at this point?

[@wdsf3178]

To be honest this is the hardest campaign in the game...

[@VulcanHDGaming]

Really? I haven't found it too bad.

[@wdsf3178]

I'm not very used to the spamming tactic (though being a Chinese lol)...maybe that's why

I feel like wargame RD campaign was way better than warno

[@wargumbyx]

i wanted so badly to like this game, but its fing terrible programming results in any target i attack with a plane spam blinking loss of los for no reason other than the computer wants to break the targeting of anything firing at it...the most annoying fing thing the ai does though is the prayer rockets that they fire at nothing and then all of a sudden rockets are descending from heaven and happen to all hit your units even though they are no where near you according to the game

[@oninojohn]

chinese making bibical reference. checks out ;)
