As per Viewer requests we have made the AIR-2 Genie 1.5Kt Nuclear Rocket and AIM-26 Falcon 250T Nuclear Missile in DCS and we are going to use them against a ground target. We can only think of one ground target large enough, and that is the 28 ships and 353 aircraft of the 1941 WWII Imperial Japanese Fleet which attacked Pearl Harbor. This is going to be a big one…

1:05 – "When we need to test a big new weapon, this is where we go" (Proceeds to use nukes on Japan)
How fitting
Could you do a simulation of Chinese or Russian nukes heading for the west coast during college GameDay and stop them all?
Cap, I have some suggestions for more nuclear missions.
1. S-300P nuclear air defense, the P could could have a nuclear warhead on it .
2. B-52 strike with AGM-129a ACM (stealth nuclear cruise missile)
3. B-61 strike (numerous platforms capable of carrying missile.
Hey Cap, love these “What-If” videos! They’re so well done and fun to watch. If you ever need a break from DCS though, it’d be great to get another CC2 campaign!
Considering the flight deck were made of wood, the heat wave from the blast would be enough to put nearby carriers on fire. And IJN carrier had poor damage control. I called that a win!
Maximum boom-boom therapy 🙂 Thanks GR
Do starfighter vs starfighter: 104s with nukes against your mish mash sci-fi baddies.
Where are the submarines Kido Butai had submarines 7/12/41
I’d love to see a series comparing AGM62M5 (Walleye II), GBU-15, Harpoons, and LRASMs in a period appropriate anti-ship missions so that we can see differences in performance. Well, we’ve seen the Mavericks, Harpoons and LRASMs many times, so I’m mostly curious how much baby-sitting the TV guided gliders require vs the modern fire-and-forget missiles in a maritime strike. Presumably they would be used soon after SEAD strikes from Shrikes or HARMs.
Ngl it bothers me every time you feather the Vulcan. Pretty sure it’s more likely to jam if you fire it in bursts like that. Long bursts with time for it to spool down would be more realistic.
This. But with 2020's era Chinese Naval air force conventional alpha strike.
Would of been nice to see the realistic explosivion, mushroom if there actually was one when detonated.
Six squadrons of US Navy Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers armed with nuclear-tipped torpedoes. Provide escort with six squadrons of US Navy F4F fighters employing the "Thatch Weave" anti-Zero tactic.
The Blackburn Bucaneer was literally designed for this scenario.
In Operation Crossroads, Test Able, in 1946, the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga stayed afloat after being subjected to a 20-kiloton airburst. Didn't look too pretty, mind, but she stayed afloat. She even stayed afloat for a couple of hours after Test Baker, an underwater explosion.
Grrrreat fun (and science 😉 ) as usual gents !
So arr the Genie and Nuke Falcon GR creations only? I cant find those weapons downloads or as part of the VSN mods???
Thanks
A UK Buc and Lightning would be great adds. Lights intercepting Mig25s might be a good old Cold War sim
Forgive me if this has already been asked… are you somehow able to simulate the EMP effect?
Japan did not have Ship born radar at Pearl Harbor. At that time they only had land based radar
None of the Japanese ships that attacked Pearl Harbor had RADAR. 😊
All those Starfighters. Beautiful
How about SAM-A-25, Nike Hercules 1948-1970 Range 90 miles, 100,000 W31, 20 Kt. Could also be used surface to surface. Mach 4
does anyone know why my f22 mod stopped working and how to fix it? i cant enter cockpit view… i have f1 binded for it but it wont work.
Me at the start of the video – "Based on the 29 minutes run time, I'm gonna say 'Yes'…".
I'd still love you guys to build me a high altitude/low orbit space force to simulate hypersonic missile and aircraft fighting at huge altitudes and speeds!
I think a great idea would be to launch a raid similar to the last raid you posted into Crimea but the goal of this raid would be to land some hinds or other helicopters somewhere near the kerch bridge in an attempt to sabotage it, the question is with the f-16s and the more modern missiles being given to Ukraine can they have a chance of performing a good enough SEAD mission and suppress the s400s long enough to land a special forces team to at least do something
The jets are to fast for flak guns
Weren't the results of Bikini Atoll tests that even if the ship wasn't destroyed, the crew were walking dead due to radiation?
I would like to see a thermal nuclear bomb vs Japanese fleet
Cap can you please sing again. I never heard your rendition of old McDonald
Just curious why you keep using the Yamamoto for these scenarios?. The Yamamoto did not come into service until 1942.
I mean a 70000 ton battleship is not very realistic when most of their battleships at that point we're only about 30,000 Max. You better off using some of their other battleships or the Italian ones
7 miles is way outside blast radius. 14 miles is merely a light show for carrier class ships. Get them a mile apart and then you can sink them by the dozen, but spread out , you will kill escorts and a piece of the flotilla, but not all of them.
250 T ? Seems very small. You mean 250Kt ?
Hi Cap. Iran managed to strap SAMs on their F-14s. Can you make a video how effective SAMs would be if launched air-to-air. Also if they can intercept SR-71. Thx
Yes, there are several effects a nuclear warhead would have that don't get modelled in DCS. Not only would everyone be deafened, but anyone who happened to be looking in the wrong direction when the warhead detonated would be blinded, and a lot of a ship's electrical systems would be damaged by the EMP. You'd very likely take out most of the fleet in terms of combat effectiveness.
Nothing more beautiful in aviation than a group of Starfighters flying in formation!
If we want to test a big new weapon this is where we go.
Hey Cap, did you once try a MOAB against the IJN fleet? It would be difficult I know, but dropping them from a C-130, and I'll say it again, maybe attack with the AC-130. Yeah, the Zero's would be a problem, but if you began/appeared not too far from the fleet (like a mid-air start), possibilities. Really like these what-if missions.
Very angry Japanese sailors because you interrupted their hello kitty trade show
U should be doing ground attack on the carrier's first.?
22:41 LOL!!’😂🤣
Very anti climatic with these explosions if thats what they are. Shame even Earthu der has kind of decent nuke booms
Is there a mod for a B61? That would be fun.
ww2 jf vs modern usa subs only ????
Assuming the shockwave, heat blast and radiation didn’t turn the entire crew into a puddle on the deck, there’s a good chance of bursting the aviation fuel tanks and igniting the contents which would almost certainly destroy the carriers. A close hit like Poosh’s rocket would cave the hull in like a tin can.
Italy vs Lybia (Gaddafi) F-104 vs Mig 21? Both conventional and nuclear? Maybe with airliners to hide under? That could be interesting!
I'm pretty sure it would do more than that RL, the shockwave should propagate pretty well through the water and do some messy things to their hulls. I can understand why DCS wouldn't simulate that though.
