I know it’s a bit of a sensitive topic at the moment, but I would love to see how a Carrier group would do against a P-800 shore battery of about a dozen missiles.

Cap, you need to talk to and watch Habitual Linecrosser if you don't. He's a US Army missile defense expert. He is great at teaching air defense and is a Patriot master... everything. Also his F-22 videos are hilarious.

35:23 That has to be one of the most beautiful things I've seen for a while on this channel, feels like something out of a movie

Should see about creating an AEGIS Ashore asset. Guam’s AEGIS Ashore should be ready well before 2026 (first flight test will be FY2024), and the new long range hypersonic interceptor co-developed with Japan should be ready by 2029.

I would suggest following rule: Once the last AI stealth of a particular site has taken off (or is taken down), the humans of that site no longer are allowed to spawn in stealth jets.

@Grim Reapers - Cap, thank you again to you and all the GR players; this was a great remake!

With all simulations of US military defending its bases from Chinese Russian militaries, Could you perhaps make a simulation where China defends its bases from a Huge American attack? And could you add Australian and Japanese navy if possible?

CH needs to make the Zumwalt destroyers with the planned Long Range Hypersonic Weapon. They plan to be deployed in 2025, so that would be awesome in the 2026 naval scenarios.

Cap, you should make the SIAW next which is basically a multipurpose, high-speed air to ground weapon that can be used for SEAD, anti-ship, and ground strike missions and is based on the AARGM-ER and thus can be carried in the F-35's internal weapons bay. It will be in service by 2026 so they should definitely be included in these 2026 battles.

5:52 I had to watch this part again because I thought I saw it say "Dork". :) After watching again, I realized it said "Dark".

I'd love to see some of the new South Korean toys added to DCS. The Sejong the Great-class destroyer is nasty, with 80 Mk 41s and 48 K-VLS. The K-VLS has the ability to launch the KM-SAM, which is what the S-350 is based on, and the K-SAAM, which is somewhere between a RAM and an ESSM and can be quad-packed. The new Jeongjo the Great that's under construction will have even larger VLS cells that can accommodate ship-launched ballistic missiles and a hypersonic anti-ship missile they have under development. The Koreans have been pouring money into missile development recently and it should be interesting to see how it all turns out

Nice battle again. It would be cool if the 055's and 052's in the CSG used their CJ10's also. They carry 64 of them between them, it would be a major problem for the base.

please keep making these videos, they are all insanely interesting. Keep it up !!!

Fantastic video. Good fight. Thanks a ton to you and all the pilots for the work and time they put in!

New Guam Invasion video for my GMT -6 morning! Glad so much of the gang could join! Thanks GR!

Thanks for the battle Cap. Also, per your comment on the ships not firing at F-35. Per the Command: Modern Operations sim/game, where it appears stealth is modeled much more accurately than in DCS, this is actually pretty accurate, where the F-35 should be able to fly extremely close to Chinese ships without a high quality weapons lock.

I like how the massive YJ-21s just disappear into thin air after being intercepted 20 feet in front of the Arleigh Burke.

Always look forward to the big battles 😊 Darks fox4 attempt was very entertaining 👍

Glad you did this again sooner rather than later.

Always good - thanks for the simulation of a possible threat from both sides 👌

There’s also a good chance that a group of LRASM equipped B-1Bs from Minot could get into theater in time. B1s are about 16 hours from Guam, not including arming time, whereas a Chinese task force from the Celebes Sea traveling 35 knots could get to striking distance of Guam after 30 hours.

Love ya Cap! We both have the same addiction to the smashy smashy BOOM BOOM! 😊😊😊😊😊

good battle you guys, gotta love it . . . 👍

Great Battle CAP - Thanks CAP!

Another entertaining video. Kudos

"Glider på en räkmacka" lmfao Cool video, great senario imo. Love those Type 55 destroyers.

Tthe interceptors themselves can fall down, explode and damage. DCS doesn't model it, but hypersonic missiles even if they intercepted, would still fly towads the target due to inertia. So in DCS you can intercept hypersonic 10 meters above the carrier and the hypersonic will just disappear into thin air, but IRL, even exploded or damaged, the missile or its remains will continue to fly on its trajectory and impact the shi

As always well done reapers!

some quirks in missile proximity capabilities...naughty naughty.

Despawn and respawn the AEGIS ships in between the waves of missiles if they are going to keep just breaking after the first missile wave until they randomly reset later.

We need THAAD, Guam has 2 THAAD batteries that could take out the YJ-21s

Thanks

Flight of the old dog version of this fight. Arrives in time to help intercept second wave of cruise missiles. B-52 loaded with JTAM firing on datalink, or APG-79 if someone has done the mods. B1-R would work for the purposes of the video, kinematics won't matter much for a missile truck.

Well done Cap GR did good :)

After destroying ships, YJ-21 could be targeted to hit the on-shore targets. Also - why Type-055 didn't fire on the F-35s that were flying very low and close to them?

The flight III Arleigh Burke destroyers only have one CIWS on the rear. For some stupid reason a few years ago they stopped adding two CIWS per destroyer and now only install one.

An idea for cap. "Following the failed attempt to completely remove the US Presence from Guam, the Chinese fleet sails back to resupply, presumably to return and finish the job. A US Task Force in the area is attempting to intercept the low-in-ammunition and jets fleet while they're still in port and in an attempt of proportional response wishing to try and inflict as much damage to the red fleet as possible in a hit-and-run counter attack." US Fleet is freshly armed but cant afford to waste all their ammunition since they are technically also in Chinese held waters, somewhere in the pacific, so for the scenario they'll have only half or 2/3rds ammo, which they are willing to allocate while keeping some in the back for defence. You can throw in some Japanese and Australian navy vessels in there for the sake of variety should you wish to do so. The red destroyers haven't had too much time to resupply so they also won't have too much ammo, either defensive or offensive, but they will be backed by ground based AA systems. Chinese carrier has not yet gotten their new air wing, save for a couple pilots who survived the previous engagements, barely enough for a mixed squadron. In the meantime, a couple minutes into the fight, a flight of Chinese stealth aircraft arrives to help intercept the attacking US force, consisting of F35s and F/A18s anti shippers while trailing behind said J20s/J35s is two flights of J11s hoping to sink the US squadron, or at the very least make it as pyrrhic of a victory it can be. You can also include some ground based ballistic missiles in your scenario, which you would simulate with them spawning in mid-air on the border of the map. Should make for a good fight!

Since, in this scenario, China attacked and destroyed two USN vessels, do you plan to do a "Part 2" where the US launches a counter-strike?

Hey there Cap, well done as always for the great videos! I am Chinese, just telling you that there are Chinese viewers watching your vids :P Keep up the good work!!

14:19 as a grunt, that’s terrifying!!! Same with being on a ship while it’s under attack. I’m just cargo on a ship. I’d much rather face a tank or an attack helicopter on the ground. So happy I was born before drone warfare.

Can't wait to see the MUTANT missile in action

Yes!

I like it when chaos happens, and you do not get the planned result. Things happen in war. It is more realistic to see how America does after being punched in the mouth versus simply stealth-killing everything from BVR.

I'll say it again, the air defenses the US is currently installing on Guam will make it the single most heavily defended site on Earth. Both sides know its importance, and the US is planning appropriately. Real Guam will have like 20 individual air defense sites by 2026. I understand you want the battles to be a challenge, but just 1 Patriot site and 2 Burkes is pretty inaccurate. You've cut the attack the Chinese would likely send to about 1/4, so i think it makes sense to cut the US defenses by the same amount. There should be at least 5 mid or long range air defense sites.

With this number of missiles, the navy can as well order some more CIWS (much like the added AAA on ships in WWII).

Thanks! Where is your patreon

I think its fair to boost the radar ranges on warships because they are a hell of alot more powerful than what can be fitted on a fighter. Realistically, if F35s can only be detected at 20 miles by fighters, they should be detectable at 30-40 miles by a warship.

Cap & co are lads in the first class

If your own government becomes to oppressive/restrictive you can come here to the states Cap, we'd be happy to have you. Well, many of us would.

I think it's time for another GR VS GS or a collab of some sort. I know you don't have much time open to break the rust off but it would be awesome to see the best Super Cap we can get with the Boys collab with one of my other favorite KZfaqrs 👍.

40:48 pause

You should try to add the THAAD system in game. Pretty sure the US has a THAAD battery in Guam.

will you ever make your scanarios public because i would love to play them

really wish youd do one of these at night though.

Wargame a massive small semisubmersivle drone fleet trying to attack guam. Launch a fleet of 80-100 of them from a mother ship. Have them carry 1-2 cruise missiles each to take out targets

We need a that'd system

Hello cap I would like to ask you a question can you give the F 35 the penagrine

I really want to know how a chain link fence catches on fire. 🤔

I wonder if iron dome could take it as it is designed for large numbers of targets

you should save really hard and rent the nova 360 simulator with VR head set . Now that would be an awesome set up .

Only 4 air to air missiles on the J-35!

Video idea: How effective would NASAMS be, if instead of the AMRAAM, there would be JTAMs? Range, PK etc…

I don't know for sure, but I would wager there's a lot more than 1x Patriot battery on Guam. Isn't it some of the most heavily defended airspace in the world?

This might sound like a stupid question but why are SM-3 and SM-6 missiles always fired only from land? Those things are fired from tubes on destroyers like the Arleigh Burkes, but those ships have limited capacity. Now if you wanted to defend and island would a complete 'array' of SM-3 and SM-6 missile tubes not make much more sense to an island that has like a military harbor, like Guam? I know they use Patriot's on land, but those SM-3's and SM-6's missiles are vary capable of intercepting any hostile missile.

I appreciate the unscripted battles. Either side losing in an understandable way isn't "annoying", I think people are annoyed when bugs are the reason "their" side loses, which seems to be happening to the Americans more lately, thus, more angry Americans.

If I were you I'd put the tracers back on CIWS, same reason you have trails on missiles that wouldn't really have them, so we can see and so its more cinematic.

Hop little bunnies, hop hop hop. Someone's munchkin watching some Ms Rachel me thinks.

Hey Cap, you should be making the following changes: 1. China would be fielding the PL-17 or PL-XX missile by 2026 which would be more capable than the PL-15 with a better seeker. 2. YJ-21s can also be carried by the Type-052Ds since both the 55 and 52D share the same VLS System. This VLS also allows both to quad pack an ESSM type missile so that would really increase their defensive capability.

When did the Chinese YJ 21 deploy?.....last I checked it was still finishing up testing.....hmmmm......awesome video boys!

Any chance of doing this senerio with a forward deployed group of B-52s, or B-1Bs to Guam? I just thought of something. You know the loyal wingman concept? What about a "loyal shipmate" idea......an unmanned surface escort with a sensor suite and VLS systems for SMs, ESSMs, and CIWS or a naval deployed directed energy weapon. Kind of an evolution of the Arsenal Ship concept.

I like my liberty too cap. 🇬🇧 Vote Reform 🗳

Love the video Cap, but just as a note, the CJ-10 can only reach halfway to Guam from mainland China. The CJ-10 goes a little less than a thousand miles and Guam is 1900+ miles away for their closest base... and that path is over Taiwan which could be problematic.

I understand making skill level equal to make it even and give both sides a good chance but realistically the Chinese get nowhere near the seat/flight time of American and British pilots. They should be set to one skill level below at least for realism purposes. It is simply not realistic to make them equal in terms of skill. The same principal applies to the Chinese running carrier ops with their navy

Wow

30:00 Ofc I am unhappy, the way the PL-15 never move when they are close to the F-35 is driving me mad

If real war acts anything at all like these simulations, it would make sense to have some initial missiles that can fly right at the edge of the enemy range and somehow survive for a few minutes. Maybe circle around their position and draw fire. The enemy will expend all it's SAMs trying to shoot them down and run out of ammo. Then launch the second wave of real missiles against their ships.

i just cant belive there are not sm2s with small nukes for emp

I would expect the USAF F35 to do way better in an AA battle but China would launch 1000 drones at first to overwhelm the air defense.

Hey Cap, if you look up the size of a destroyer squadron you might notice that you are short a few ships. From what I am finding a squadron normally is between 6 and 8 ships (designated DESRON (XX) ). These are typically split into 2 (3 or 4 ship elements) depending on the mission parameters. Just a little info for you. Gentlemen that a re part of the Grim Reapers both currently serving and retired, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

Weren’t the fighters stationed on Guam f15’s?

Hey Cap hope all is well with you and the family. ive seen in your most recent videos the taxpayer window in the top right showing the money that would have been spent for used munitions and downed equipment. i was wondering if thats a mod you have created or if its a public mod?

What the hell do they make those fences out of?

Good Can you plz do the real Speed of YJ-21 vs, Carrie Group?

Hmmm, the number of missiles makes me think of the recent strike against,,, the promised land. where 1000's of rockets overwhelmed the iron dome. Maybe some kind of ... simulation of that?? obviously not map/history accurate, but might be interesting for systems wise, , , something point of view. ?

I am speaking for America here. After the last battle, I was going to send a letter to GR and ask them to not use American ACGs. But, this was redemption. GR can freely use American ACGs again 😂

I would like to see a situation where ships have to shoot their main cannons and guns to deal with the enemies instead (or in addition to missiles). I loved the simulation where a large group of small boats coming at a carrier and single ship has to deal with them. Love your videos!

No Submarines Subs would make it more complex

There's a THAAD battery on Guam....

If some say the J-35 can carry 4 missiles and some say 6, seems fair to give it 5.

UK has 'Common Law' ;)

Would you be able to model the F-35’s ability to shoot an aim-9x 180 degrees off bore?

2 LCS 400 meters from the shore instead of each Burke, that could transit point defenses at 40knots, each with sea-ram and some amount of S-A defense. That's 46mph rated on an island 30 miles long, with targets the massive distance of about 20 miles away from each other. I suppose that's not survivable.

Cap, it's 2026, the US would have had LRASMS available for protection since they are integrating them with the F-35. The lack of anti ship missiles for the US doesn't make sense.

I'm curious is our placement of defiance systems on Gaum here are based on a publicly verified source?

23:25 and so do I. Scripted videos are lame, they are not intriguing. I wouldn't watch them, so I am glad the the GR do the things the way they do. Thank you!

Gotta get the SiAW in game and redo everything 😂😂

Get the DF-17, DF-26 and DF-21D going

The dcs ballistic missile and anti-ballistic missile performance is very strange. The reality is that the yj21 is likely to attack with a spiral trajectory, the essm missile is almost impossible to intercept, and in reality if a yj21 is so close to an American warship, there is basically nothing that can stop it

Not sure those F35 pilots would be too happy flying in front of patriot systems going ham at incoming cruise missiles😬

Why aren't the destroyers in groups?
