Catastrophe! : Sino-Soviet War || Sea Power

[@SuperDeathgun]

That Romeo's captain is earning about every naval Medal China has at this rate.

[@WeGoToMars]

As many as your average North Korean general XD

Poor guy’s gonna get scoliosis

[@AHersheyHere]

That Mig pilot definitely spilled his vodka when the missile whipped by.

[@TrueXyrael]

I love and hate this scenario. On the one hand, I hate that it seems impossible. But on the other, games like these tend to be so easy for you that it seems like there's never really a risk besides your own mistakes (cue ramming the ocean floor alarms) but this scenario seems like a win is well earned and a mark of real skill~

[@Magoo-h9k]

Well done Wolfpack. You can't win them all. But this one was impossible to win anyway.

[@simulacrae]

Well, the equipment could not be shit, did the SA-2 take down a single non maneuvering aircraft?

[@donniemontoya9300]

15:12 There is something undeniably WW2 about this entire scene here. The dive bombing of two merchant ships then pan over to the aircrafts flying over, getting targeted by flak. Feels like I'm watching War on the Sea here.

[@MrPanzerTanzer]

Kobayashi Maru scenario. I like it.

[@slateslavens]

exactly my thoughts watching the last episode

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

Wolfpack345, This was a really intriguing mission, and I LOVED the (very plausible, imo) alternate-history wrap-up at the end - I'd love to see more of this kind of thing in the future!

[@FinnishJager]

In the last hours of the war, the admiral snuck aboard the fleet's last Romeo. The inside of the submarine was crammed with sailors, their families, and others who paid a hefty sum to get aboard. Their destination: Taiwan. While most didn't possess any love for the Nationalist Chinese government, they decided it a better to take the chance at being granted asylum than face the Soviet secret police and any collaborationist Chinese soldiers looking to make a name for themselves in the new puppet government. Everyone hoped the rumors that the Americans were paying former PLA and PLAN officers good money to defect to the west were true. The last voyage of Romeo 846 was about to begin.

[@lolasdm6959]

Nah, Soviets are about to basically enter Afghanistan but about dozens times bigger. China had zero gun control before 1989, intentionally, Mao deliberately distributed millions of decommissioned weapons. The Militia was 11 million strong with 3 million regulars. Also armed with nuclear weapons. The Soviets won’t advance past Manchuria. They won’t even have railway connection by then. China constructed artificial mountains south of Manchuria. Considering that Taiwan refused American urges to declare independence, and actually removed the blockade when PLAN went to fight a skirmish in South China Sea, they will support the mainland.

[@4T3hM4kr0n]

@@lolasdm6959 distributing millions of weapons doesn't mean much if the people using them have no training or proper control.

[@madyaroreo9650]

​@@4T3hM4kr0n thats what they said about Afghanistan, twice, actually.

[@dog_transport_fw]

@@4T3hM4kr0n read about the accomplishments of the Peoples Volunteer Army in Korea. they went toe to toe with the best the USA had to offer and often came out on top... with almost no airforce and terrible supply.

[@4T3hM4kr0n]

@ Those were actual military, not hobos with guns.

[@jjdude5531]

This is I think one of the best missions so far. I love the concept of giving the player a near hopeless situation and then watching how someone can make the best of it

[@Gigi-ik3br]

These have been fantastic Adventures! Thanks Finnish Jager for your hard work. But they would not have been without your gamesmanship. Thank you, Wolfpack

[@notfeedynotlazy]

Those PLA Petyas sure are far more effective than their Soviet counterparts, aren't they?

[@finefolly8182]

Love War on the Sea and your coverage of it! The game is still a bit bare bones for me to get onboard quite yet, but your dedication to giving it some life in series like this with the help of FinnishJager definitely have me hyped for when they finally release a dynamic campaign. So many moving parts with modern naval warfare, gonna be a lot here to dig into.

[@ijnfleetadmiral]

AWESOME surprise cameos at the end by Long Beach and Enterprise! With this series' end, any chance of a new "War on the Sea" Campaign? Possibly the Mediterranean campaign, or an IJN Indian Ocean campaign? (Can you play as the IJN in that campaign? I forget.)

[@Murat807]

I can't wait for the full release.

[@dougshelby939]

Reminds me of the Star Trek "Kobayashi Maru" no-win scenario... you did just about as much as you could, considering how much the deck was stacked against you @Wolfpack. Outstanding use of that Romeo sub. That old slow noisy boat really did well. There's a silver lining in defeat at least. Liked it 👍

[@jeanlucdiscard]

The Lil' Romeo That Could

[@joelcueto2460]

nice gameplay wolfpack, considering the odds is against you, with them having superior number of forces in air and in sea, you still able to infict as much damage as possible, and i believe, adding the tonnage of all those ships that romea sunk could be much more what your forces has lost. The SA-2 is really a heartbreaker, i believe it failed to hit any aircraft at all. If it does manage to hit even a couple of those Mig-17s im pretty well sure more supply ships will survice.

[@ChaosphereIX]

Another great Sea Power video from Wolfpack. Keep them coming sir, really enjoying them.

[@huskergator9479]

Second!! That never happens. Great stuff Wolfy!! Thank you!!

[@martineec1856]

25:04 gotta love all this speech

[@santoast24]

Thanks Mr. The Finnish Jeager!

[@milossarkissian2606]

Great video! I find the highly asymmetric scenarios interesting

[@ike555je]

great content. Thanks!

[@DavidEitelbach]

Fun to watch a scenario with older ships!

[@matthewcaughey8898]

This Cold War just got hot

[@c0ldn3s5]

ur a savage on the seas bro js

[@drumrun6457]

I'm new to this game any advice you can give me on how to find enemies I'm bad at this. Last computer game i played was in the early 2000s. I got into this cause of your videos

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Can you list what units you are using for the PLAN? Thx

[@jaapaap123]

Any idea what was lingering down south?

[@stefanavic6630]

SA2s are as scary as Scuzzlebutts's celery hand.

[@imamage]

Is this mission available in Workshop? Seems can't find it...

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

That was a costly "victory".

[@christopherbrent5168]

Why the hell are torpedoes so slow???

[@adambratt9902]

Kobayashi Maru

[@stevepirie8130]

Think you were safe below 6k ft against SA-2.

[@radguy72]

Rad

[@Will-el5yp]

Hack the code of the game like Captain Kirk did for his Kobiashi Maru test

[@condorscondor]

Those SA2s really sucked lol

[@yachtfangirl]

Many ships look like their deck is about to go under water. Bad game design? Like the Soviet one about 30 seconds in.

[@fernandomarques5166]

Wasn't uncommon for ships with low freeboards to get their decks awash during a hard turn at speed

[@FlyMysticalDJ]

Pretty normal when large ships make hard turns. If it was bad game design they wouldn't roll at all.

[@lolasdm6959]

Look at ships in military maneuvers it’s not uncommon

[@billiebee5327]

These are hard to follow. I like the WW2 series better

[@darylb8773]

Not a big fan of this game nor this series

[@parislikesliners]

why?

[@BiggusDickus420]

Skills issue

[@FinnishJager]

My least favorite series too

[@nathangillispie51]

I see what you did there

[@darylb8773]

@ Im more of a fan of the submarine series , and the naratins WOlf does with them.
