[@jordanvangundy975]

You really nailed the realism here, even down to the lack of coordination and communication on the part of the Russians

[@cockatoo010]

the most unrealistic part of this is the Kutznetzov actually sailing anywhere

[@mr.nemesis6442]

You don’t even need to hit the Kutznetzov to make it useless. All you need to do is take out the tugboat in front of it and it’s effectively sunk. Hell it’ll probably catch on fire in the middle of battle and sink itself.

[@Kevin-hb7yq]

It's normally easy to see the smoke from the fires.

[@pixelninja5766]

[@texasknight5175]

Truth. In Russia, Russian carrier sink self!

[@nuclearTANK]

In Soviet Russia, carrier sink itself

[@ryanpayne7707]

"I remembered a thing." And it was at that moment, Cap's fate was sealed.

[@patricktho6546]

[@grimreapers]

YEs that was an interesting 90mins...

[@michaelwheeler8552]

I swear that, in all the combat flight sims ever released, the most commonly shot down aircraft is your own refuelling tanker.

[@SuperJeb98]

I usually end up hitting the tanker or rage gunning it

[@mikemoore4033]

So if you steal your buddies tanker, is that hose before bros?

[@grimreapers]

lol YES

[@adrew31043]

nice

[@cockatoo010]

"I can avoid a damm AIM-12...Bollocks!" That was too perfect

[@Stinger522]

That was the funniest part of the video.

[@AdequateOregonian]

That was probably my favorite part too! "Cap was shot down by an AIM-120"🤣

[@RDiego44]

This made the video

[@Doc_Roe]

When you see (Bad Language) in the title you know Cap is about to have a really fun time lmao, even with all the hiccups it still turned out to be a very entertaining and fun mission to watch! Keep doing your thing GR's!

[@xxxm981]

Thats the best ones

[@RossOneEyed]

What? Bad language in a GR video? Nah, never happens.

[@grimreapers]

BAD LANGUAGE = stressed Cap

operation in Ukraine is done?

[@daveyanderson6166]

🤣

[@5Andysalive]

@@acknodbikes5051 doesn't have to be over to be a debacle.

[@acknodbikes5051]

@@5Andysalive The Russians have already captured an area equal to 1.5 Britain. Limited contingent. Considering that NATO is fighting against Russia with the hands of Ukraine (proxy war). Considering that Ukraine resists only by the constant supply of weapons and money. Ukraine has already begun to call on women to war, and in Russia there was no mobilization. You made an unwise statement.

[@Debbiebabe69]

'Why am i getting hypoxia? Why am i blacking out all the time even though im on 100% oxy?' That would be because you jettisoned your canopy.

[@melanicwhoosh]

It's always a good watch when you have Cap basically crying "how? where? why? what? how???!!!? I'm lost! What a cluster f8ck!" the whole way. With the occasional "I did a thing" sprinkled about.... :D

[@grimreapers]

lol learning planes with Cap.

[@Daniel-yh9dz]

Not knowing how to fly the plane make you a liability for everybody else.

[@dannyshaw4057]

But let's be honest, realism is a key thing in these kind of simulations.....if you look at the reports from Ukraine, he would actually be over-qualified to be in the Russian air force, he flew for an hour without crashing, or killing any of his allies - he would lose marks though, he didn't destroy any schools or hospitals.

[@AmenMoto]

What a cluster. I'm much less worried about a Russian attack, now. They can't even communicate with their tankers. Thanks Cap & Co. for the good watch. - Valued Humanoid

[@robertschultz6922]

Just like what would have happened in real life

[@AmenMoto]

Very good point sir

[@MWSin1]

"You appear to be in a field with no landing gear?" "....Yeah."

[@christophero55]

Cap after thinking he has his aircraft sorted out: "Nothing can stop me now!" Cap two minutes later: "Eeeeeeeh I haven't got enough oxygen for me braaaaain!" 😂😂

[@stevendepuy4377]

28:48 - I was thinking Cap should fuel last the way he is struggling, in case he takes out the tanker

[@robertschultz6922]

🤣😂🤣

[@grimreapers]

lols yes fair

[@jamison884]

Oh my, I think Damp and Cap should have an American public access TV show, on weekdays at 3 AM live from Sok's damp and dark cave. It would be titled "Damp Cap." This was a hilarious mission, and at one point I just pictured a news headline "Flight Simulator Community Accurately Re-enacts Russian Military Dysfunction." Cheers! ❤

[@MarkMeadows90]

35:12 Damp Sock pretty much answered your question there. Here in the US, we call them Brown Headed Cowbirds. They will invade the nest of another bird while the host parent bird is away from the nest. Cowbird will most likely knock an egg or two out of the nest and lay their own eggs in said host bird's nest. Some of the host birds are smarter than others, some not. Most host birds will raise the young of cowbirds while being one of their own. The smart host birds might knock the cowbird eggs out of the nest. Gotta love nature lol

[@Bob10009]

When Cap doesn’t listen to a damn thing and wonders why his mission is FUBAR. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@CylusResi]

1:11:40 This is almost 'slapstick comedy' in it's delivery!

[@SpamSucker]

How to double the size of your air group? Induce hypoxia!

[@cousinjack2841]

Cap dumps everything to reduce weight and drag; then promptly dumps his canopy; what a winner!

[@parkerdaniels1067]

19:08 “I don’t know what team we’re on” -Random Russian speaks- “Oh there we go” Caps funny asf

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

This was as realistic as it gets. GR in true Russian style.

[@billhughes9612]

The absolute perfection of this ALL is that this is EXACTLY what goes on in a REAL Russian cockpit. The fact that the people running this sim have more STICK time then the actual pilots getting shot down in real life. The only thing that isn't realistic, is the air traffic control actually being VERY good.

[@Psychobolic77]

The caption to this video: "What button do I push?!"

[@sweatypits8315]

Got my Grim Reapers Tumbler and some stickers yesterday. Cheers lads, looks great!

[@feartheellipsis6608]

@Grim Reapers Question Why is the F18s referred to as BOGS if I hear correctly?? Anyone??

[@HauntedXXXPancake]

God, Imagine being Cap's driving instructor 😵‍💫🔫, 😄

[@neilbadger4262]

My first thought on this is how many of the Russian ships have already caught on fire before the battle ensues, just to make it a bit more realistic.

[@adamsmith2944]

American ships and planes don't even have parts to work 😭

[@bigbore4498]

If SNAFU and FUBAR had a baby, they would name it “Cap”.

If Russia is doing so bad in Ukraine, they either ditch most forces in Ukraine just to attack the carrier group or fail trying with a small force.

Question, is DCS ever gonna give the American's their SM-3 and SM-6 missiles for the game?

[@abhinavchandra8314]

I don’t think they will give the sm-3 because it is an anti-ballistic missle and anti-satellite missle and there really aren’t any satellites in the game and ballistic missiles only show up in stuff like simulations cap does

Or essms and 120d s

[@grimreapers]

I really hope so.
