We simulate a WWII naval convoy and test which era of strike aircraft can destroy it most cost effectively.

I, too, only know what my target will be comes after I roll over and see what axis I end up on.
Warbirds just the sounds!! The Mossie in D-day stripes is gorgeous….
Where are the dive bombings?
What’s the cost of a nuke – single item/ entire fleet destroyed!
No Jeff? again….i want to see how it does with its short legs.
Cap, can you do this senario again with a US fast carrier task force (without the 500+ aircraft)? As an added bonus, you could through in some enemy cap fighters (small group, not the pc killing units of IRL).
Wouldn't those ships have zig-zagged?
You guys justt had crappy skills with Gen2 and 3
The Mossie should be perfect for this – the Banff Strike Wing was created for exactly this purpose using 3 inch rockets.
Guys pls… it's Viggen not Vegan^^
hmm, I guess loosing planes due to bombs being sucked into themselves etc etc,, is a valid way to loose planes. Because that is indeed a thing for reals. Same with pilot errors, because ,, well some plane types are just hard to fly.
I think , maybe a bit hard to implement, but the cost of a pilot should probably be included for accuracy. It does take time and money to train a pilot.
In general I find the focus on cost to be a bit,, odd. Because in wartime, access to resources is what matters, not the cost. Especially if the war is taking place in your country.
But I guess you guys are doing it because,, well that's all you can do in DCS really. So that's ok.
Cheers
This makes me wanna watch Midway 2019 again.
Why nobody took A-10 or Su-25 is beyond me
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Love these series…. more please! Do a Thing!!!!
Shoutout to Violet in the p-51, managed to bullseye that LST while zig-zaging and damaged.
Fun video. Think you should do it again in the future but with the added cost per hour etc of each aircraft. Would change the profits.
Can we have more Carrier Command soon?
Only issue I saw was that the war birds were not diving steep enough to be effective for the bombing run. But the planes were all wrong for the mission. I do not think that DCS has the Stuka or the SBD, or SB2C. 75 to 80 degree dive angle from 20k feet, release around 1500 feet and pull up. Use machine guns to see where your bomb is expected to hit.
38:06 I thought I heard cheap as* vegan😂😂
I love how you guys seek an answer to questions I have never asked but really want to know. Great video
i wonder if the reason the gbus keep going into the water is reflection of radar on the water
Love the videos keep them coming it’s fun seeing y’all do silly things together. This channel has the perfect balance between fun and serious war games
Which do you think would be more practical to take down 50 Chinese balloons carrying 6 hyper sonic missiles at 70,000 feet. Fighter jets or missile defense systems?
CAN YOU DO "CIBM"?
Is it weird that I am in love with Violet? Good job 👍
I’d just park a bunch o’ Russians in Zeros and send ‘em in as Kamakazskis. Hi, Da, Ohayo gozaiamhuzzamuy.
Banzai-ski!!!
The flak on WWII merchants was way too accurate. The crews that went to man flak guns on merchant ships weren't trained like Navy crews.
You need to change your name to "Grim Accountants".
Where were the Blackburn Buccaneers Cap! 12 sqdn at 0 feet with four TV guided missiles each that convoy would've been toast!
Have you ever done pearl harbour?
@grimreapers >>> Regarding the group take-off at the beginning of the video: Might I humbly suggest some of you switch to tricycle landing gear equipped WWII fighter aircraft…?
🤭🤭🤭
Adding dollar values to everything certainly makes it more fun and interesting to watch 👍

At about 07:52 in this video, remember: "R.T.F.M." 😉
How would a a10 be compared with f14 and f16 cost wise
Yo Cap, love watching your videos and the creative missions. I've made a small collection of A4 skyhawk coop missions, any chance you'd like to check one out for some feed back?
try warbirds with torpedos next time I think that you will have better results
I don't think I remember ever seeing the reapers Flying the Corsair or Wildcat or even Hellcat. Can anyone point me to a video where they use any of those?
R2D2 at 13:57 ?
Why don't you guys ever use torpedoes ?
Watching the A-4s and wondering about what an A-6 would’ve done. Love me some intruder.
the bomb at 21:14 ricochets off the side of the boat hull 😮
"That's a legitimate Japanese tactic" 😆
