Gearing Class Costal Engagement || Cold Waters Surface Combat

[@boholde2757]

My first ship was a Gearing class Fram 1. USS Sarsfield DD837. I was a Sonarman, so, I found the ASW feature fascinating. They had done away with the helicopter drone by then.

[@williamlydon2554]

A friend's grandfather served on a Gearings, USS Myles C. Fox, in the late 1960s as an ASROC crewman. Very cool to see her in action. I asked before because we rarely see a '60s era Cold War gone hot in fiction, it's the '80s that is normally depicted in fiction. Amazing to see so many early post war designs modernized like these were. If you love the Gearings, we have one preserved in Fall River MA at the Battleship Cove Museum. Less then an hour outside Boston. USS Joseph P. Kennedy

[@MrFunkhauser]

noticed the sound in this game is really good, from the distant booms of ships exploding to actually hearing the whiz from the 5 inch gun rounds flying by the camera

[@urself3701]

I wonder if dot mod has a Des Moines class cruiser, if so I hope Wolfpack plays one and goes against a large surface fleet

[@danielefabbro822]

Why not point directly to an Alaska-class cruiser?

[@patchouliknowledge4455]

@@danielefabbro822 Faster firing 8" guns, I suppose

[@danielefabbro822]

@@patchouliknowledge4455 what's matter? With the post war accuracy of fire, you just needs a single salvo to disable an entire ship. Those American battlecruisers was really impressive in firepower, accuracy, operational capabilities and reliability. And after all, also the Des Moines was a post-war heavy cruiser. But not of the weight of the Alaska. But yeah I can understand that if you have to hunt submarines then big ships could be a trouble for possible counterfire so... Why not a post-war light cruiser like the Worcester? Or a Seattle?

Brings back old memories when I served on the William M. Wood DD-715 spent all my time chasing the black sea fleet in the early seventies. They were not built for comfort, but were fast and carried good firepower.

[@unutentequalsiasi5669]

Yes, the Framm are my favorite too, very elegant and massive superstructure!

[@ultra4e]

Fun to see some strategy with multiple types of enemy vessels, not just firing a bunch of missiles back-n-forth. I still laugh at that one episode where you surfaced the sub, fired a missile & took out the annoying enemy helicopter to finally complete the mission.

Should give the krivak a try, the most common surface ship you run into in the US campaign always had a theory the AI used them poorly

[@brettkoran5532]

Cold Waters is always a good time and Destroyer gives me UBOAT feels. The simulation aspect has a more in-depth (no pun intended) feel and is wonderfully engaging :)

The real rate of fire of those 5"/38's was MUCH slower than shown. Good to see a Gearing with the FRAM II conversion.

My grandad served on the DDG1 USS Gyatt which was designated from the refitment of the DD-712

[@DeadBaron]

I'm with you, there's something cool about ships that were built in WWII and continuously modernized. Many German U-boats were modernized and used by several nations for decades too, and as you well know, several "modern" diesel electrics were basically just tweaked U-boat designs built from scratch.

[@shtehfaw]

I'm sure a Typ VII is getting outfitted in Kiel for a '39 campaign soon... Till then, good hunting on the surface!

[@tefras14]

The transition era from the 2nd world war to the cold war is truly fascinating

Agreed

[@stevenhussey9228]

ah yes ww2 vs cold war era boats sounds like IOWA vs Kirov. love these videos even the submarine ones to they help me in games like thses.

[@ToastedHuncho]

the dangerous waters theme brings back some memories

[@1billthekid]

Served as an ASROC captain for many years, and have to say there are at least two details on this simulator that make it inaccurate: The launcher has 4 pairs of cells (8 cells total) that elevate individually, and are secured horizontally when not being elevated. Not at an angle like they show in the graphics. Surprisingly enough, i have also seen static plastic models of destroyers with a launcher looking like that! The launcher couldn't fire as-is in the video, or else would have hit infrastructure. The torpedo would disengage from the booster at a calculated distance, and open the chute seconds afterwards. Looks like the torpedo dropped very slow, even without the chute open. The DASH (Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter) was the ancestor of ASROC, and i can't recall a ship carrying both at the same time.

[@SpiritOfMontgomery]

I’d love if, even though the ship wasn’t around then, they add HMS Vanguard. It’s an alt-history game after all, so maybe the ship remains in service until the end of the Cold War, maybe even getting an Iowa-like refit for later on.

Tell me this wouldnt be cool .....any destroryer gun or battle ship gun capable of carrying a ultra dense shell that is magnitized that also contains a recording sonar and shaped charge ... the shell is fired is the direction of the sub and records the position of the sub so the ship can adjust and once contact is made with the sub the shell explodes its shaped charge warhead creating a hull breach around 5 to 6 inches depending on the ships gun
