I just want to reiterate THIS IS A VIDEO GAME, it does not replicate all the intricacies found in a real world battle, it does not replicate the weapons capabilities in real life, and therefor it does not have any bearing on real life. I think some people forget that.

It seems unfair to make the Chinese carry land attack missiles which they can't use in the battle while the other carrier groups carry exclusively anti-ship and anti-air weapons.

Imagine demonetizing just for showing Afghanistan

Why is this a complaint? They only have 8 Type 055 and 25 Type 052. The US has 73 Arleigh Burks, and 13 Ticonderoga. IF people want to put all the freaking Chinese cruisers 055 in one carrier group then the US should be allowed 9 Ticonderoga's. Each hosting 75% of their Cruizer fleet in one carrier group which is stupid. Really the 2 055 and 4 052 vs 2 TC & 4 AB should really look like... The US having 12 Arleigh Burks and 3 Ticonderoga's and 2-3 Carriers vs 1 Chinese Carrier 2 055 and 4 052.

Why add the British aircraft carrier? It is a mobile museum.

I like that you showed the 3 minute version. Gives us a proper frame of reference.

i noticed that the US didn´t fire any sm3 why is that? and would that have made a big enough difference?

In the GR Bingo game, "Cap apologizing for his voice" is the free square.

I'm scared of these things too. Thanks for the sim Cap!

In 2023 alone, China built 43.22 million tons of ships while America only 0.6 million. Just imagine if China puts that massive ship building capacity into military purpose. It can make American navy look like a small baby in no time.

US aircraft carriers can be hit by Houthi missiles, but in the game, they can successfully shoot down YJ-21

Cant people just watch and enjoy?....great work Cap...thanks for the Birthday present CAP..45 I turn today...👉🏻.

Maybe the Taliban complained to YT, because they thought your Afghanistan video was bad for tourism.

So they took ad money for the Afghan map video but then de-monetised it?? Cannot stand this platform anymore ripping off creators..

This is a amazing. The UK has two crippled never-eady toys that they call carriers. Such a serious topic to kick off the joke.

they are only making 8 of them AT THE SAME TIME. But already 8 are in duty since 2017. and future plan is up to 24

CAP, can you please model the SEARAM for the arleigh burke flight III's. It is similar to the HQ-10 from the chinese. I know you have the RIM 116, but they seem under modeled compared to the HQ-10

You forget their jamming ability of the Type 055s

Your Afghan map video getting demonetized is completely ridiculous. Must have angered somebody with city pronunciations… somehow?

This game is 16 years old? So a 2008 engine but with 2024 tech. I love when you redo old battles because of the history lessons. I enjoy these as well though.

The most powerful yj21, in your video, feels like a useless thing, obviously weakened.

KZfaq keeps deleting my comments with suggestions so I guess I'll just give up and say that the U.S. Naval doctrine (centered around AEGIS) cannot be accurately modeled in DCS.

You should model the Zumwalt class destroyers. They would add a lot of power to the US Carrier strike group.

Allied carrier groups need to operate together to maximise mutual protection.

Yay!! A GR vid! Not a bot, just love this series!

Because I know the Ford supercarrier class it has sm3 and sm6 launchers and out defensive system such as Harpoons also attack systems also

Just curious, what kind of computer does it take to run a simulation like this?

Spectacular video, good work Cap :)

A rapid dragon or hypersonic revolver would be a nice addition to fleet Warfare videos!

Nice fleet combat videos! Please add random submarine influence to make more realistic as subs might be deciding factor in many scenarios. Keep up good work.

Thank you Cap! Did you do this cos I asked nice?

The Chinese cannot defeat an army of soldiers with two mothers

you should do an air force one escort and see if it could defend it self

I don't know anything about DCS so i've no idea if it can even be done. But I would like to see a PvP battle with evenly matched fleets where each side has a player acting as the admiral. That would really give some insight into what a real battle would be like.

Given how long Cap has been doing this I'm surprised that any complains about something. I'd like to complain about a few things but the game has it rules and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Maybe if someone make DCS2.....

What do I do after you Vids? Go to make coffee and then sit down to work (I work on a UK University Student Management system all the way down here in NZ)

Could you do US vs Britain and France and maybe also Spanish and Italian harriers

Also in the first test scenario were the YJ21s actually attempting terminal maneuvers? cause if they were that'd be a new feature CH snuck in.

Can you do a French vs British carrier strike group video

Just an observation - The type 055 is larger than its counterparts; 6 of these would equate to 7 Burke class in terms of displacement, which in turn provides and equivalent number of VLS cells between the two sides. I wonder if a strike group would add the 7th destroyer if such a fight were anticipated. Another aspect that troubles me about these fights - the aircraft take off after the fight has already started. Wouldn't it make more sense to have at least some of the aircraft in the air at the start of the engagement (if not all of them)?

Would love to see zumwalt eventually, both versions the current one and its future refit to give it the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), it might be able to counter the 055 class of ships.

​ @grimreapers You're infographic for the Type 055 is wrong. In the sim the Type 055 fired 480 HHQ9Bs but the infographic you posted shows them with 72 a piece for 432 in total. So it looks like in game they have 80 HHQ-9Bs

How about 6 ticos? I know they're getting retired but, go out with a bang ig

As an American, GG

If only i had the money for this sim

do you use ship countermeasures ie chaff, flares nulka decoys?

Day 5 of asking cap to bring humans back to carrier battles

Great vid Cap!

好吧，很有趣，感谢制作，只是这样的场景不会在现实中发生。

Compare carier with destroyer is like compare truck with infsntry tactical vehicle dude, those are destroyer mean to destroy everything they have ability to eliminate whole navy f-18 fleet at once.

correction china is launching its 10th type 055 so... GG WP

did you model the yj21 with mach6 or mach10 and terminal maneuver?

A loyal dog of the United States. In the Middle East, American aircraft carriers can't even defeat guerrillas.😅A loyal dog of the United States. In the Middle East, American aircraft carriers can't even defeat guerrillas, but in your video, they can challenge Chinese fleets.😅😅

Could we please see an all asian carrier battle? Izuma and Kaga vs Liaoning, Shandong. Maybe South Korea supports the Japanese with two Sejong The Great destroyers attached to their groups (similar vla to Ticonderoga). Thanks

So in reality the Us would have the carrier along with destroyers, cruisers, and attack subs and the last 3 ships mentioned all would have anti ship missiles. The ships also have anti aircraft/ missile defense. But as you properly did the us would also include ally ships in operations in certain type of operations. However our aircraft carriers have the F35s so the air wing would definitely launched to also counter the 055 type destroyers causing the Chinese to either loose their ships or turn and break off!

And to think that they're doing stuff like this on more powerful equipment, and getting paid a lot of money to do this, at the Pentagon, Whitehall and the MoD in Beijing.

Even absurd than battlefield man

Cap great video as always…. One consideration I keep thinking about during this series is the anti ship planes once launched anti ship weapons they should engage other planes with short range

Cap can u add zumwalt with their special hypersonic missle

can you do a whole navy vs whole navy or is that too much?

Great video.

RAF akrotiri could be vital soon for the west IRL

I’m new to this but would these destroyers ever get within firing range of their anti ship missles? Seems like the advantage of an aircraft carrier is like having aircraft that can out range a ship

I know this is DCS which is avaliable on steam but i always thought it was just fighter jets that were allowed. how are you using naval assets?

You gave the US and China their most powerful escorts but only gave the UK 2 T45s instead of 6.....not right.

Can you do a video without the limit speed of an object? ( I mean in Navy War game)

Since when can the US or UK defend against hypersonic missiles? The carrier groups are sitting ducks…

YJ-21 is ballistic antiship missile😅 DCS just an outdated cold war simulator

Question: Is it possible to create a stealth missile?

Isn't SM6 capable of anti-shipping now?

6*055 DDG vs 6*B-1B w/LRASM

If real war started, and going with nukes wont be used, how long could any country expect to keep affording, monetarily, too replace destroyed top of the line equipment? Planes, tanks, ships...all of it..at what point would a country be forced to go back a generation or 2 of a given piece of equipment? Let's say its the 3rd year of a back and fourth hard fought war, both sides are having medium to heavy losses. With the cost of the top equipment being so much money, I feel like at some point the top equipment would no longer be an option for replacement. F35 back to F15 type of situation. US VS Russia/China... how long could each country keep replacing top of the line with top of the line?

Afghanistan demonetized?

The 055s are modeled so they have 80 hhq 9b-s each not 72 because they had 480 of them and 480/6=80

W vid

2 carrier groups vs 6 destroyers?

Hey gents are CHs assets working again for the common man, or are you still having to fix them. Sorry for asking but CH dosent answer his trouble tickets. Thanks

8 type 055? your old info needs some update

Stupid simulation, A Carrier Group has that many Cruisers and Destroyers among other support ships and you add a UK Carrier Group. If it was the Prince of Wales it wouldn't make if far from port!

What game is this?

This is so dumb. The whole point of a US carrier group is FORCE PROJECTION. The Chinese destroyers would never get in missile range before the carrier launched all its strike-capable aircraft to attack them. Plus, while the strike aircraft are executing their mission, the US carrier group would be steaming in the opposite direction of the Chinese task force to keep them out of their missile range.

What does it take to beat 6x Type 055 destroyers? How about 1x Astute/Virginia/Seawolf class submarine? My money would be on the sub.

I know it’s got to be a cast iron bitch to A come up with ideas for entertaining videos B try and please all sides in the viewership and C do it every other day. I personally am neutral on these carriers battles because they don’t really take into consideration all the things that would happen in reality. It’s basically leakage of anti ship missiles. Whichever side prevents the most leakage wins. I much prefer the historical recreations and re-enactments. With the maps we have now in DCS there are tons of historical and interesting topics. Just the Sinai map alone is enough for a month’s worth of videos. Any way, that’s my 2 cents for what it’s worth

This is assuming that the Chinese have a functional carrier, or even a blue-water navy that can actually meet the U.S. at parity, neither of which they actually have in reality.

chinese sponcers?

所以欧美有哪款近防炮能拦截YJ-21么？那玩意是弹道导弹

West Taiwan is taking notes.

Is there no wind in DCS?

Where are Russia ship?

Cap in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9JdrcaZ0M7WiX0.html you showed America could defend against 50 DF26s....Are the YJ21s faster than the DF26?

So the YJ 21 have 100% PK? Is that how CH modeled them to be?

Cant call it a sim when it doesnt accurately depict weapon performance.

First view . Love Ur videos

lol balance and fun really ? you don't remember older carrier battle video you made where blue side alway enjoy much more aircraft , human pilot , mass equip F-35 and basically go turkey shot the red team with way less aircraft , 4th gen jet , all AI no human ? where were the balance and fun you care about at that time ?today when red team start having some OP stuff , you suddenly care about .....fair and balance + fun ? you really think people gonna forget your super bias toward blue team to the point even when you allow red team have J-35 you still heavy nerf them with only 2x PL-15 instead of 4 ? while mass equip all blue team F-35 with 4x AIM-260 each that doesn't even exist yet .......it even more funny when MAKO missile only exist currently as display model but you still go and mass equip blue team with it ...tbh may i ask you equip the red team with all similar "display model future weapon" for fair/balance and fun too ? because red team also have alot of them

😂😂

pointless

You know I keep watching these videos, carriers groups and everything else. But you always say what's the aircraft Carrier's name? The navy's defeated, but naval warfare has never been fought from a Carrier. That's always been fought from the ships. And the ships are still there to do the damage back to the other ships and possibly still win. It's about the last man's standing. Not just who's Carrier's gone?

I don't see anyone complaining, yet the comments criticizing others for complaining got the most likes and replies, Lol that's what Americans are like...

First?

1st ?
