On the second battle of the fifth mission, we just hunt U-boats. Thankfully, we don't have to contend with stray merchants or icebergs. Air support would be appreciated, though.

    O think you're confused. Once a U-boat was forced under, it didn't take "days" to hunt them down. U-boat batteries need air to run the engines that charge them, and no U-boat is going to run on the surface or deploy a snorkel when being actively prosecuted by ASW forces.

    There is ballistic missile submarines in the game, just not the US Ohio class or the Russian Typhoon class. The Typhoon class may eventually get added but there is higher priority items on their to do list. Cutoff date for the game per developers is end of 1985 for units to be in fully widespread operational use, not just when it entered service. The AGM-88 anti-radiation missile not being included and only the AGM-45 Shirke being present because of this is one key reason why. Janes Fleet Command even though it is over 20 years old when using the Naval Warfare Project mod is probably a better predecessor to play overall than Command Modern operations, this is especially so since it is the only effective multiplayer platform present. Multiplayer player vs player is where this genre really excels at. I am fully aware of the limitations and over-simplification of certain aspects of Janes Fleet Command but it still for the most part is the most similar to Sea Power overall in mechanics and simulation. Additionally Janes Fleet Command is a good mission editing testbed for evaluating scenario creation ideas for Sea Power and testing them out in both games.

      Firstly, all of my commentary is done in post so I can focus on playing the game rather than blabbering on. I can't stand let's players who do nothing but scream into the microphone. Secondly, much of my training as a sailor has taught me to remain calm in a crisis. It merely comes off as sounding disinterested. Thirdly, I have very limited time to play games and devote to this gaming channel. Most of my time is filled with work, research, and writing. So if I come off as sounding a bit tired, then I may very well be. I'm not the most entertaining of commentators, but I'm a good researcher and I'm level-headed in a crisis.

As much as I would love an American sub sim to follow in the footsteps of SH4, I am SO THANKFUL that Ubisoft is not making Silent Hunter games anymore. Because you just know it would be some weird Skull n Bones deal where you "customize your sub" by tacking all sorts of weird, spikey BS all over it while rapid-firing torpedoes in all directions.

Think of Jack Nicholson on "A Few Good Men" but meaner. 3) There is usually 15% confusion between the bridge, CIC and Sonar. False reports abound. 4) General Quarters is pretty accurate. Everyone's pucker factor increases to 1000. 5) All of those GQ reports and Helmsmen repeats are accurate. Your ad libs are hilarious!

    In WW2, the Japanese and Americans learned quickly, that assuming a carrier is sunk just cuz a lisp or bad fires was not a good idea. Early war carrier and especially at Midway, carriers were assumed sunk but miraculously stayed afloat or limped back to shore. So what they started doing (mainly US cuz they could) was just absolutely wrecking something until it was below the waves, so they could really make sure it was wrecked.

  • @FelixDetlefs
    @FelixDetlefs Рік тому

    I think zeroes in particular did indeed employ steep climbs/chandelles after a firing pass to set up another one, taking advantage of their excellent rate of climb and handling at near-stall speeds. But, they wouldn't be able to without building up a decent amount of energy, i.e. after diving in for a pass. These planes are approaching at a seeming snail's pace! I also don't like the look of the ineffectiveness of the air combat, several zeroes getting in right behind the bombers here with none shot down is wildly unrealistic.

    Here's how I did it: Two Neptunes against the RFS Moskva (which is set on the lowest most incompetent skill setting). The ship is in total EMCON (no radars/sensors on) and is in very bad weather. The two missiles are only detected when they turn on their active seekers but the RFS Moskva's skill level is too incompetent and slow to intercept it and it is hit by both, inflicting 40% damage and starting fires. The fires rage out of control combined with bad seas and the ship sinks.

    Did they really use absolute bearings in WWII? Is there an in game option to change bearings to relative?

    • @fwfs
      @fwfs Рік тому

      Yes, because using true bearings is better for coordinating assets within the task force, whereas relative bearings only applies to your ship. If you give radio calls using relative bearings, it creates confusion as to direction. The in-game option for relative bearings is on the sonar page. That said, the external views still give true bearings.
