We simulate a naval confrontation between the Imperial Japanese Naval Fleets from the 1942 Battle of Midway against a mixed coalition modernized frigate, destroyer and cruiser flotilla. How far has naval technology progress in 80 years?

Yamato versus Iowa class. Upgraded Iowa class that was set up for the Gulf war.😊
1 Virginia, or Seawolf or Los Angeles submarine would annihilate the entire Japanese carrier fleet.
One modern guided missle cruiser could have taken out either the US or Japanese task force at Midway. Neither would have ever known who shot them.
Why isn’t the Yamato opening up? These ships are in her range
With the rate of splashes I think most of those splashes/hits are not 18" but rather 6" and 5" guns…
My Question is, what difference would substituting a Arleigh Burke-Class Flight 3 for the Ticonderoga, and the Russian Gorshkov class with the Kirov Class, make, by really putting some ultra-hard hitting anti-ship capability in there
No torpedoes on any of the ships?
You just creep up on them guys at night does it give you a night attack set up
You know the harpoon got a range of 80 miles
Yeah those misses only have a 7 mile range
Modern ship lose because older ships have more armor more guns.
Dude that guy was benching like 4lbs.😂😂
I would like to see if the British could have won in the asia pacific theater against japan during the second world war if they had commited an equal number of (period) modern ships as opposed to the older models that were sent.
Hi cap, just wanted to say congratulations on your child, I hope you can get some R&R when you can and thank you for keeping us entertained here on YouTube. Thanks again.
Has the "Quick sink" been modeled in DCS yet?
LOL 17:15 – "Oohh, this is fun!"
Unless it was a large number of ships they'd get saturated by aircraft pretty easily. As demonstrated in the Falklands, modern ships are quite vulnerable to WW2 era bombs even when they don't go off.
Why the yamato not firing big guns? Range?
Short answer absolutely, long answer, lets watch it play out on DCS because it is more fun that way.
can we get somewhere your scenario ?
This is just plain stupid. At least Make the scenarios of the same timeframe. How about the entire Royal Navy vs entire Japanese Navy in 1941?
Grump is like air wolf.. next try a pacific battle group .. with the USS RONALD REAGAN & USS GEROLD FORD
Only 4 modern destroyers vs all these WWII ships?. How many missiles and rate of fire can moder weapons provide for a long term conflict if traveling in time to the past?. Not enough I think, sorry..
Yeah I think the fairest battle would be the Japanese Midway Fleet against the modernized Iowa Class
Your computer should be demoted to deck sweeper! Real officers would allocate targets and switch based on results. No ships would ever get to gun range! Apaches should only target destroyers.
Reminds me of the book *Future Weapons*, very good. Premise is a modern coalition fleet travelling back to Midway, but everything turns quickly into a disaster
What???? No Mark 46 Torpedo's to fire at the Yamato? You guys have to include a Submarine or two. A Naval attack group ALWAYS has a submarine or two for forward observation and support.
I love the idea of running what-ifs in the Midway scenario with modern helicopter gunships versus IJN planes.
They all have torpedoes too, the modern ships could use them against the remaing ships
Imperial Japan: *Kamikaze on Ships*
Modern American Ships: "And i took that personally"
If you get into fisticuff range of a WW2 fleet, you aint leaving without some bruises lol.
