Winning Too Hard - Iron Wave - Sea Power vs

[@1stpogo]

Just a suggestion but before firing on Merchant ships you might want to check the flags on those merchant ships. Firing on Merchant ships flying your own flag is kinda frowned upon.

[@BrotherMunro]

Hey if you’re a good Soviet boy why are you sailing to a banned place? You never know they could run up any flag and just pretend! Vigilance always comrade

[@b.elzebub9252]

Meh. They heroically died for the motherland. Their families will be delighted with the extra rations that month.

[@FalconWarThunder]

I've been following your Sea Power videos as soon as they release and I must say you make the gameplay very interesting by explaining what and why you're doing it. Appreciate the videos and i'm glad I found your channel! Keep it up! Edit - I commented as I was watching and noticed your flights with jets. If you get them to climb to higher altitudes while travelling to/from the AO they'll use less fuel overall letting them loiter in the area/reach a target for longer (At least IRL this is what would happen, not sure if the game models that?).

[@BrotherMunro]

Ahhhhh yeah that makes a lot of sense, I will try that as having planes fly at different speeds definitely affects their range

[@FalconWarThunder]

@@BrotherMunro No problem! Like I say I don't own the game (yet...) so i'm not sure if that's modeled into it, but if it is that could help a ton! Keep up the videos Brother!

[@hannesorisson1200]

When it comes to conserve fuel for your aircraft you need to have them flying higher. The jets at least 30.000+ feet and the turbo jets 15-25.000 feet’s. Thinner air less resistance. When you get close to engaging or close to AA cover dive to lower altitude. Same when you return climb when you are out of range of AA

[@RFTL]

Yep fly high and use the long range layout.

[@adamtruong1759]

It's very interesting to watch the comparison between someone who made a scenario play it vs someone who hasn't. I think it's safe to say that some oversights have potentially been made in the creation of this scenario. Also, if you wanted to have more of your aircraft reach the area, could've fitted them with the Long-Range loadouts with the drop tanks. And as for why a Sampan, I assume Stealth keep it in there as an easter egg because he himself didn't expect that. For a proper merchant target, probably something that isn't a super-merchant, maybe like a C4 cargo ship.

[@BrotherMunro]

I had a chat with him about it - in classic developer style it was a placeholder 😂

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

You said so yourself, there was a nice semi military warship not far from the target, it would have been excellent, but I suppose a small fishing boat of secret equipment would be amusing because it would be super hard to detect regardless.

[@adamtruong1759]

@@glenmcgillivray4707 The scenario should have more fishing boats now that I think of it.

[@richgweil]

That was one of the oddest naval battles I've ever seen. :)

[@TheMirkosch]

What i felt was missing were reactions from the AI, be it the merchants getting shot and nobody trying to evade or make a run for it. Also, although thats probably out of scope for this game, communicating with the merchants, telling them to go away or prepare for boarding etc. I assume it would be possible to do something like that through scripting or clever use of the triggers.

[@rexi1414]

@@TheMirkosch I once wrote under a trailer of the devs that I'd like to see some boarding options with Rhibs and stuff like that, like you can see in some TV Shows - e. G. Patrol Boat or the Last Ship or Last Resort.

[@jxggfz8731]

New Sea Power video!!! Soo excited to watch it!

[@rexi1414]

I believe if you set those SU-24s to fly at 51,000 feet or at least 36,800 feet (or whatever the heights are I forgot) their range will greatly increase. So I think you could have made it to Georgia if flying cruise and high altitude. So no range issue, but yeah, Stealth overestimated the Air Assets' Fuel Range when creating the scenario, he himself was surprised that he barely could reach operation area. Also, you were supposed to kill the merchant and then NATO turns hostile, but looks like Stealth did not implement a fired-upon trigger for them becoming hostile. "Oh, that one was soviet? Well doesn't matter, sorry comrade, you were going for the wrong port, I got a blockade to enforce here."

[@octavius32a64]

Mission report "anyway I started blasting!" ;)

[@PapaBear816]

I still want this game out yesterday.. says it's coming out this month but no date set and it's driving me insane!

[@BrotherMunro]

It’s coming out Tuesday the 12th if November! I’ll be streaming live on that day, not sure what time the game releases

[@ratakaio3802]

Didn't the orders say to only fire after getting fired upon?

[@jakevanderveen9213]

I see you have found out that the airfields are still very much a work in progress in terms of their taxi and take off animations, but to be fair, it's not a Russian jet unless it is capable of taking off from a field.

[@BrotherMunro]

Yes true a runway is a bourgeois decadent western luxury comrade

[@nucleargandhi3759]

I'd bet that military looking cargo ship is still the main target and the ship you actually need to sink. Feel like the Sampan is just there is a debug type thing so that there is actually BLUFOR present in the scenario at the start. Probably not something meant to be found, and is harmless to let it start as BLUFOR.

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

Nope, this was in stealths video, it is the intended target, he just didn't realise he'd put it in as a Sampan, and it made him laugh to much to change it.

[@frankalbanese4447]

IL-38 May has a kind of crappy surface search radar. It's better than nothing though!

[@thegreyhound1073]

Do we know a price yet?

[@KimLind]

Nope not yet. Many have asked about the price at Steam page, no answer yet. Release in Early Access 12 th November.

[@BrotherMunro]

As someone who looked into this for other reasons, you can’t really say until the game actually comes out due to the way global pricing works. The devs probably do have a price in mind but, especially with early access, you can’t say what that is before it goes live on steam.

[@stevebarnett-f5o]

@@BrotherMunro must say, game is quite well fleshed out so far, in some games, like DCS, stuff gets released which is simply too far from being fit for release.

[@taiko1237]

That was amusing. Not quite as funny as Stealth going Age of Sail mode on the NATO ships with the 76mm guns on the Komsomolets Ukrainy, but funny nonetheless.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

And this is why you weren't supposed to have Tu-22s or similar bombers in the first place. I only wanted the player to have some fighter cover. But, until we have ability to adjust airfields this will happen and you can make the scenario very easily. Also, firing on neutral warships...? Dude...

[@BrotherMunro]

I mean they weren’t doing what I told them to 😂

[@kineuhansen8629]

3 more days and i can finaly play the game my self

[@jasonflett7049]

You would never make an Admiral.....to long to make decisions, indecisive and over thinking. Go with your gut and don't over thinking.

[@jasonflett7049]

Oh....yes....I am a Group Captain and tactics and strategy is my thing. If I did in the real world you way of playing people will die....a lot of people woukd die.
