      Even contacted bombs have an arming cable so that if a bomb were to float up into the aircraft it wouldn’t go off. The bomb has to free fall a few feet away before it will arm. Now that’s not to say that if the bomb were to stay lodged in a burning hull it would go off. But shear impact won’t necessarily set off the bomb. That’s why they do target damage check after a strike to co firm positive hot and good detonation.

    One of the most interesting things about this incident is that the British actually had radar covering the channel which would ordinarily be able to detect these ships easily. But the Germans did some very clever and sneaky jamming involving several weeks of subtle jamming at the same time of day, leading the Brits to think it was some kind of ionospheric interference. The Operations Room UA-cam channel has a good video on it.

    When I was a kid, I got a tour of the Norwegian Naval museum by Nils Owren who was an officer on board KNM Stord during the real battle to sink Scharnhorst. He had some incredible stories of his service during WW2. From Wikipedia: In an interview in The Evening News on 5 January 1944, the commanding officer of HMS Duke of York said: "... the Norwegian destroyer Stord carried out the most daring attack of the whole action..."

In the attack on SAM alley in the Vietnam video (Plus the missile dodging on the same video in the F35). Super flying!

    Excellent! Proves that the Germans had a major advantage in this scenario with both naval and ground-based support. The modern planes did manage to sink two of the ships but still had more than expected losses. And, yes, this would have been boring if you’d have stayed at 40,000 ft and dropped your bombs. Once again, great job and very entertaining!

    While a single 4th gen fighter can SINK multiple WW2 battle ships ALONE.

      Yeah the big problem with all of these old verses new is that the WW2 people would take time to get over their shock on seeing modern jets and explosions from modern missiles, their pilots would not be used to avoiding anything but planes on their six at guns range (they certainly would not try to notch a missile, they wouldn’t even see it or understand that it was guided) the ships gunners would not be used to how much lead a missile needed even if they saw it, and they would only see it VERY close. I think the reality would be that modern jets would have a much easier time than these re-enactments suggest. Here the olden AI has full knowledge of modern tech and tactics, but there’s nothing Cap can do about that.

    Considering that WW2 AAs couldn't handle V1 rockets, that were unguided, non-maneuvering, subsonic jet aircraft, even with hundreds of guns being radar guided on a single missile, the chances of any WW2 ships hitting a modern fighter, are basically near zero. DCS needs to take that into consideration.

    I'm trying to recall a sci-fi story I read many, many years ago. It involved a pilot in an AV-8 Harrier that somehow got sent back (involuntarily) to France in 1916. None of his missiles were any good, the German engines didn't throw off enough heat and there wasn't enough metal to get a good radar lock. His biggest problem (other than the mud) was getting precise enough machining done to replace his gun ammo. Fuel was easy, kerosene through a fine mesh filter to get the crap out of it!

    • @drtidrow
      @drtidrow 2 роки тому +1

      Yeah, jet engines aren't too picky about what they burn, as long as you keep the TIT (turbine inlet temp) in a safe range. Might have to replace the fuel nozzles in the combustors if you run something like gasoline, but kerosene or diesel is close enough to JP8 that the typical jet wouldn't care. You would have to use a winterized diesel blend, though, as it's cold high up and you don't want heavy hydrocarbons freezing out and plugging the fuel filters.

      You've laid your finger on the salient point, I think. Since the Allies were much farther ahead in radar tech, the only scenarios that stealth tech can help involve them fighting for the Axis powers. Midway, but with the Japanese having F-22s would be very interesting, but if someone could find air combat situations where radar was crucial to the Allied effort, that would be even better.

      Honestly, I doubt it - the Hornet is quite a bit faster, with a much better rate of climb as well. Might be more maneuverable too... in any event, the Hornet pilot should be able to dictate the terms of the engagement, especially if he keeps it in the vertical.
      Now, if it's a full squadron of 262's vs. a single F-18, that might be more problematic for the Hornet driver.

    I've always wondered from WWII gun camera footage why there were so many air attacks on ships from abeam....the sides VS down the length from front or rear. I understand torpedo attacks most of time are....and skip bombing....but AA protection is many fired to the sides and not from the front or back....and attacks from the sides bring all guns that can train to the side, to bear on an attacker. If I was attacking a "long" target, with guns in particular, I'd want to got straight on, preferably from behind.

    +GrimReapersAtomic *The original viewer premise could be executable with an early-1990's U. S. Navy Carrier Aircraft Wing, e.g. CarAirWing EIGHT.* Fighting FORTY-ONE on MiGCAP to cut off the _Jagdgeſchwadern_ over the Vichy coast, Fighting EIGHTY-FOUR to take up BARCAP stations against retaliatory strikes.

      *Afterthought:* The U. S. Air Force had a down-the-stack attack method (to blow up the boilers on the battlecruiser and both superdreadnoughts) available via AGM-62 from the Northrop B-2 Alfa, which the defending BFW's were just able to reach in altitude but sans assistance from Wehrmacht surveillance radars - the B-2 was invisible to the radars of 1940. They'd also have to get past the F-14 Alfas of Fighting FORTY-ONE first, as well.

      @trolleriffic 2 роки тому +1

      A B-2 would do that job much better although stealth in general might not be as useful as we'd expect due to the long wavelength radars that were used in those days. They're useless for precise targeting or guiding a SAM but they might let you know a rough speed and location with enough warning to scramble some fighters. Penetrating German airspace at very high altitude (which the B-2 would be perfect for) should stay above the upper detection range of the radars and ought to be far higher than any fighters or flak could reach.
