Cap, I'm sure you've heard the US just recently successfully launched an AGM-183A ARRW in the south China Sea. Will you make a war game to show how this could be used? Thanks

People always talk about US Carriers projecting power etc but it is the Arleigh Burke's power that always amazes me.

CAP, one of best battles I've watched yet. That opening salvo was insane.

Holy hell that opening barrage was insane!! What a raw show of the power of modern combined naval forces!! This was excellent from start to finish. Well matched by both sides in pretty much all aspects. I agree with the end assessment, a tactical win for the Blues as the Reds would certainly have to retreat after using all ordinance and losing it's entire airwing. They would honestly be lucky to make it home in that state, especially the one 055 which was on fire. Tops in this one for me in each coalition goes to Dark for the Reds!! His social credit score just went up by 80% easy!! 🤣 For the American Blues I have to give hats off to Fire for coming in to bail out the allied anti shipping!! For the Filipino Blues, Poosh is now a decorated hero of the Philippine Air Force, and can expect a warm welcome at Clark AFB and Angeles City afterwards!! I Loved this one!! I spent a good amount of time in several parts of the Philippines in my time in the Marine Corps. They would absolutely pull another of moves that you guys simulated with the grounding of another ship if China pulled off some aggressive move like this and shots were fired. That would most certainly turn into a fortified atoll. Damn fine mission Super Cap, and damn fine flying as always Grim Reapers!!

This is my favorite genre of GR video.

i really enjoy watching this channel - been a few months watching now - please keep them coming - enjoying all the hard work you put in

Grim reapers The best youtube channel hands down. Thank you, valid Viewers lol I love it. You all way explain everything that is going on so people understand everything much beter. Excellent job.❤❤❤❤

I love how this sounds like a good sports announcer calling a very close game

Hey CAP, I've read news from MaxDefense Philippines a while back that the FA-50 golden eagles might have already received the necessary block 20 upgrades in order to be BVR capable, and that it's not just announced in public as news. Also, Philippines got their Brahmos supersonic cruise missile launchers already and have completed training with it. They're gonna be used as land based anti ship defense.

both sides hit the FIRE EVERYTHING button at the start

With all that fancy and expensive technology, it ended up being a WWII-style dogfight. Man, I hate wars.

“Big, modern, powerful sticks”- G-R 2024

Thankyou for making the missile combat way more realistic. Well demonstrates Defense saturation and “use it or loose it”.

Great video. Lots of good action. That salvo stuff is boss!!

minor correction to your starting map, the main part of US 7th fleet is at Yokosuka, in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan, Not Yokohama. Yokosuka is ~18 miles further south by road, ~11 miles as the F-35C flies. or maybe it was an F-35B, as the JS Izumo currently in Yokosuka, getting refitted from a DDH destroyer/helicopter carrier into a CVL light aircraft carrier, with the capabilities to launch and recover F-35Bs, and currently have USMC pilots with them to help with the training.

Also, you forgot that Philippines got their Brahmos supersonic cruise missile launchers already and have completed training with it. They're gonna be used as land based anti ship defense.

Looks like the Chinese carrier got hit by the anti ship missiles at the end of the video.

The Philippines consists of thousands of islands and a kid be very difficult to wargame. The US could potentially land HIMARS and other strategic rocket and missile systems all over with the US and Philippine navies and land marines and sailors across dozens and dozens of islands in secret.

Ya more naval battles. They are my favorite

Your reminder to watch the whole briefing was certaily recieved. It landed straight on that bit after id skipped 😂. Sort of felt personal so I've rewound and am watching the entirety 😂

Good simple simulation. I love stealth planes and stealth missiles - but after a while they can also be a bit dull especially when fighting non-stealthy adversaries.

been a long time since such a worthy battle

Salvo mode was wicked, now you have to redo all of the naval battle series......

5:51 The US military not being based there is the aftermath of the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship collapsing. It was made very clear by the new government that the US leave, and they did, which is why the bases on Okinawa expanded.

From what I understand, 2-4 of the FA-50s the Philippine Air Force has is already upgraded and integrated by Israel's Rafael to use Phyton 5 and I-Derby missiles, though they can only use Mavericks for surface attacks for now, but Rafael is also offering their sea breaker anti-ship missiles for the FA-50s and FA-50 can carry two of those missiles. Philippines is also in the process of acquiring multi-role fighters and it's highly possible that the Philippines will have F-16 with the assistance from the United States, while the Philippine government would acquire Jas-39 Gripens. The Philippines is also in the process of receiving their land-based Brahmos anti-ship missile system, 3 batteries of it. The two frigates the Philippine Navy has have C-star anti-ship missiles which is also from South Korea, and the 2 corvettes and 8 OPV that is already under construction in south Korea will also have the C-star anti-ship missile system. The 3 Hamilton class we recieved from United States is already upgraded with modern combat management systems and sensors that can now use harpoon anti-ship missiles though the Philippine government has not yet decided if those three Hamilton's will be up armed with missile systems.

I'm new to the channel and this is so awesome content. I love to see more. *adrenaline rush*

Cap, I do believe that the Liaoning took a vampire in the face according to the tactical map! Also that 055 was a hulk and still on fire, sure to be scuttled if it didn't go down on it's own. This was a HUGE PhilippineAmerican win really.

Thanks Cap!

Cap and his FIRE EVERYTHING button !!! 😂

The Chinese water cannoned some Philippines ships over that beached ship yesterday

In a future video, Brahmos antiship missiles might need to be considered.

Andersen AFB with an "e"...absolutely great channel!

WOW!!! What An Opening Missile Volley From Both Sides!

Talk about blue balls, turning it off just as the Chinese carrier is getting hit!

That AIM9X at 36 minutes, I think it was tracking and could have made the kill but the angle its seeker head was tracking the target went past 90 degrees and the seeker couldn't look hard right far enough so it lost it and stopped its hard turn... then it reacquired lock as the jet flew past its nose and it tracked again

What happened with the anti ship at the end..?

I wonder if the US is going to load up a bunch of maritime strike tomahawks on a SSGN and use that for a swarm attack on PLAN shipping. Obviously can’t be modeled in DCS right now, but would be cool to see.

I hope you channel could create more of this kind DCS World Scenario. I hope you could create a model for the Philippine Navy Ships with current (HDF-2600) and with future acquisitions like HDC-3100

Great work as always Cap. I have no idea how you put out a new video every day with new ideas. War is amazingly interesting. I hope your health is doing better. Have a great Sunday sir.

Cap, that "I lied' line is getting beat up

I heard recently that while the U.S. missiles have a smaller warhead they are programmed to hit the Command deck or the missile mags rather than simply aim center mass... Thus knocking a ship out of action sooner than a simple hit point reduction. Thoughts?

38:52 I would say a slight win for the US on the flottila-front, since they just can get back to the next port to rearm, whereas one enemy ship is in need of heavy reapairs (out for at least a couple of weeks, maybe months) and one is damaged (so probably at a week of repair added). So in the next encounter the US would have all it's ships vs 1 or even 2 ships less from the Chinese and that advantage would only rise with time

the issue remains DCS's simple hitpoint system for ships. At least a ship should start getting disabled much earlier, long before it would be "destroyd". Launchers and stuff are probably out of order after a hit or 2. Moving that much further up the hitpoint scale should not be impossible at least.

Finally! Been waiting for you guys to start including the Philippines in Taiwan contingency scenarios ever since the country had a dramatic shift of bilateral relations with the USA starting last year.

Enjoyed that. Just one question - could you time the launches of the hypersonics so they arrive at the same time a the mach 2 missiles? is it even possible?

"swapping modern, powerful, sticks"... and not one "giggity". Oh, Cap has matured.

A successful defense is a sure win.

Think you use are space defense in one of your videos.i think that would be cool to see

The Space Shuttle was a hypersonic glider. ;-)

You forgot one thing, the Attack Submarines, those Type 055 will not be sleeping heading home port

i love it!

Cap, @ 39:30 the carrier is taking hits from the Ashm strike. Even if the Liaoning somehow stays afloat, it's out of action for the fight. If it was sunk, weeelllll... Win for blue force. Hope you do a rematch of this, with late 2020's weapons, assets, and force structures for both sides.

I think the primary advantage US 4th gen fighters have is engine power and EW/ECM capabilites. The latter of which may not be easy to model.

I honestly wonder if SM6's would make better kinetic weapons than as explosive missiles in the antishipping role.

Daymn, that was quite the fireworks show!

Expensive day at the office for both militaries.

I think the fleet that opens up first with anti ship missiles has an advantage because they begin firing just within their radar defection capabilities but the reacting fleet does not have/ have worse radar targeting information else they would have fired first. As such, the defending fleet would have to guide its anti ship missiles using real time satellites, indirect reconnaissance and weak radar signals, yielding lower missile reliability and an inherent disadvantage compared to the attacking fleet.

The US just pressed the big red FIRE EVERYTHING button at the start but why didnt you show what the fa-50 missiles did, unless they got intercepted at the end

What would happen if all the crappy missiles got fired first since you know that the enemy are going to drain their reserves of defensive missiles to take them down? You'd then be left with the high impact weapons being more likely to make it through question mark?

China added a rule a few years ago that if an aircraft carrier is hit and can use nuclear weapons, the United States will fight a nuclear war for the Philippines?

Where can I get the aim-120D mod

15:39 this is fkn bonkers

CAP, can you PLEASE do a revision of this with the addition of JAS-39 Gripens? The Philippine government is currently in final negotiations to purchase JAS-39 Gripens, and it would be interesting to see how they would perform in this scenario.

I know you do it to keep things fair but the US would never enter a near peer fight without using its fifth gen aircraft.

Watching from Philippines 😅 new subscriber

Does DCS have models for land-based BrahMos batteries like the Philippine Army has?

Now, would you make another senario like this but with a JAS39C Gripen in 14 and 3 battery Bramos Anti Ship Missile Launcher?

Part 2 please with f-18 and f-35 vs china j-15

Smoke on the water.. from ALL those missiles!

Any chance to remove the "pilot" down location indicators to de-clutter the screen?

I hope a Philippine Senator sees this video. Thank you for a comprehensive and very enlightening simulation of a battle in SCS / WPS. P.S. Doesn't the Chinese artificial islands have any land based batteries?

The Philippines is the last Frontier, of The Trade Route and entering the malacca strait, where the INS has an military 🎖️🪖 tie-up to support and help in support for security for economic purpose. Brahmos missile and submarines

You know, sometimes I think Cap deliberately taunts the NCIS because he enjoys the body-cavity searches . . .

tbf, nobody knows who's gonna be in the war... so, kinda not predictable.

Do it again this time Include the Brahmos anti-ship missile, as the Philippines is about to receive the first batch of the System from India.

phillippines has recently bought Brahmos missile (ground launched) missed an opp to use SU30 mod with brahmos (obv planes invisible to enemy)

Similar to The Battle of the Coral Sea, America foiled the plans of the enemy forces, while taking similar casualties. So, US/PI strategic victory, but tactical draw.

Great battle… I don’t think Japan will just sit down if this happens… And Australia would probably join the fray… If the Philippines successfully acquires F-16s and Gripen E fighters as reported, this will make the situation for the Chinese harder.

US now has AIM 260 JATM Long range Air to Air missiles designed specifically for China.

USS America and most of its Amphibious ARG are stationed in Sasebo, Nagasaki prefuecture. One day faster to Phillipines shoud we need to go.

F15 is not going anywhere anytime soon the air force is already shipping out the first batch of F15xs that will serve well into the 2050s. We’re getting the first batch at pdx soon.

We believe EPIC COME BACK OR LONG GAME

I would've at least included the Jose Rizal frigates in this. I mean perhaps theres just no models or anything for them but for only being 2600 tons theyre not awful

phillipine airforce also using sidewander like american jets, and exsorcets antiship

The carrier got hit my those junk anti ship missiles at the end, More were in bound.

🔥

Correction: Philippines does have over the horizon anti ship capability since it recently acquired a few batteries of the Indo-Russian BrahMos anti ship cruise missiles.

You are such a genius, you have no idea how far the YG-21 has a range. You comfort yourself without knowing the missile data at all.

AEGIS is pretty good

Yes, it can. With the help USA , Japan and Australia.and maybe some ASEAN members

The kitten and, I enjoyed this.

China has 9 055 destroyers, all of which will be sent down south in this likely situation, without mentioning cooperate strike from the rocket force, J-20s, J-10s, J-16Ds and H-6K. All of which can easily reach strike distance without areal refueling

What tech are you running Cap? What about other members? Are you VR laden, RTX4090? What's the server spec?

Wondering if those Bhramos missiles from thr Phillipines would make the simulation more interesting.

Do a sim of Russia,China an North Korea vs U.S., Canada, great Britain. One giant battle.

No match really until US and Japan jumps in the fight which are highly likely. They are both itchin' for for a little skirmish.

Batanes, Palawan, Clark and Subic would be very critical in the defense of the PH.

why theres no submarines they are the front lines of a carrier fleet right?

Cap, are you going to try China/Russia vs US/UK carrier battle again? Think it will work with salvo mode? This was awesome.

iI hope you guys can do a rerun once the Philippines get their two or three squadron of Gripens (C) and more Brahmos in a couple of years. I believe they also ordered more HiMars as well.
