Yes, this was a lucky hit and no you can not always sink a carrier with one missile in game. You can run this scenario 100 times in game and you will get 100 different outcomes. I played the mission again and the CV took 3 hits and still continued to fight the damage. The Damage model is quite robust and there are plenty of different outcomes depending on hit placement. You can however get lucky like I did in this video.
@FerroEquus-262 that would be "lucky" if the jet fuel was stored there. Plus since it's the forward hangar bay it would be contained to that bay (with the doors being closed) and most likely erupt out the #1 elevator and not penetrate the lower armoured decks.
In one of my tests of this mission the Americans kept shooting down my waves of missiles. The few that got through then just targeted the Ticonderoga! My Oscar was empty and the carrier laughed at me.
@@tspencer227 just wait until they learn that there are dedicated munitions elevators that pull weapons from special magazines buried deep in the ship. WW2 taught many valuable lessons.
IMHO the ultimate success of this game depends upon modding support. It will truly become legendary if opened up to the community. We can end up seeing planes sliding off of the deck and animated crews jumping ship etc.

Fun fact: My dad was on the plane (P3C) to get the first ever images and solid data on the Oscar. Caught her off the coast of Okinawa someplace. I have a frame from the on-board camera reel that remains one of my most prized possessions. Glad these guys did the sub justice because damn it's a looker.
CIWS seems *very* unimpressive still: either they keep firing way, waaay high starting off, or they just don't fire at all. On another note, hoping the devs will add some random timer between when a ship is sunk and when lifeboats start spawning in around it. It'd look much more natural if they start popping up gradually at least no more than a minute after a ship has been destroyed.
My theories are, something simple like they forgot to turn on radars, or activate the Phalanx CIWS (happened in real life, OHP Frigate didn't have the CIWS turned on and the missile hit the ship) or it could be either its an old version of CIWS, older ones in the 80's or 90's probably look similar to the ones used today, but the ones used today have different names like Phalanx Block 2 or something, and can aim faster and react quicker, or maybe its because AEGIS does not exist yet so CIWS can't respond quickly with other weapons.
@@Psytinker lol, I wonder if anyone watching has any experience with this weapon, probably right?

17:04 Yeah, that missile trajectory puts it on course to punch right through the outer wall and absolutely smash everything in the open hangar bays and potentially any munitions rolling free outside their magazines. That shot placement could not have been any better.
It's so nice to see someone who actually knows how to play the game. Though I appreciate other channels that post Sea Power content, I've found I can't watch much as the players are often clearly clueless about how modern naval warfare works, and what's worse seem to make no attempt to learn and get better. So you just end up with a mess of a scenario that doesn't do much to show off the game. Also glad to hear the devs are working on helos dropping sonobuoys. Love the scenario but it's a rather broken if the US can't use ASW aircraft. Can't think of any situations where a carrier battle group wouldn't have plenty of ASW assets up and about.
Yep, less about being clueless and frankly just not intelligent enough. People think this is a grave insult, it really isn't . We are all inequal with different stats and traits.
Everyone has a different skillset and can learn off screen. The "Clueless" are ones who just got into the art of naval combat and aren't gonna immediately catch on. I have a problem with how people play most games but it's entertaining watching them slowly get better and have a different style than everyone else.
@@TheBelrickYou might be intelligent enough to understand naval warfare but certainly not emotionally intelligent enough to understand why some people might take offense to being told'Yeah you're just kinda too dumb honestly'
@@subjectc7505It's almost as if...*gasp*people get better at things they do as they do more of it. Some people adapt faster while others take longer to learn.

If you don't exactly know what to right off the bat,you really just shouldn't be allowed to play apparently
I'm really digging the sounds and weapon animations, adds so much atmosphere that was missing from cold waters. Just hearing the victor going to flank gave me shivers
I feel like the AI in the game might be lacking. If they detected you and were on active, shouldn't they also have been launching tons of ASW aircraft? It's a carrier afer all, that's what they do and it's what you would have done. Ah I see, the AI is not done in that area. Too bad as sonobouys would have been the main countermeasure here, the engagement doesn't seem complete with them being able to fight back
The missile is designed for wet launch. That includes the fact the missile is designed around the water absorbing part of the heat and shockwave like bruce said to prevent damaging the VLS. It's something you can get away with when designing a sub missile.
The production value and skill in your Sea Power exceed all other gameplay I've found to scratch the itch until the game goes on sale.👌 One slight comment though - mild spoiler ahead - Granit ASMs should almost always be fired as a full salvo. A Charlie is not going ot be tasked on two carrier groups in one sortie, and gameplay-wise this is just a single mission as well, so there is no reason to spare. Since they coordinate on target selection, there is no risk of overkilling the largest radar signature like with less evolved ASMs. The more you launch, the fewer in the swarm have to expose themselves to long range SAMs by playing spotter on the way to the target. The Soviet taxpayer would just have to tighten his belt for a bit, but since this scenario involves blowing up a US carrier group, Granit price would be the least of his problems.😅
I agree. It was exceptionally lucky that only 8 missiles did the job here but leaves two more salvos. However if the first salvo doesn't succeed and maybe even gets entirely intercepted, you have gained little to nothing but wasted a bunch of missiles. The larger the group in one attack, the larger the percentage of missiles getting to a target With ASMs I would say 'overkill is underrated'
11:37 maybe just something for the devs: The 65/76 torpedo can only be fired from the two large upper torpedo tubes as they are 65cm in diameter. The four lower torpedo tubes are only 53cm in diameter
Thats what i thougth(i know nothing about subs) and i was very suprised when i saw the larger torpedoes being fired from the visualy smaller torpedo tubes. Certainly worth reporting to Sea Power devs!
No, they got it right, the two lower center tubes are the 650mm, the 533mm tubes surround the 650mm. This is the configuration of other russian subs as well
@@justicier10-7 No, they didn't get it right. Official schematics of the Victor-III show the largest torpedoes (65-76) in a separate torpedo room ABOVE the lower torpedo room housing the smaller caliber weapons (SET-65K, TEST-71MK, USET-80).
@@Kwaj I'd be interested to see your source for the schematics. All the schematics I have seen have shown 533mm torpedos in the lower torpedo storage(sitting behind the sonar), and 650s sit on the floor of the top torpedo room, which loads straight into the lower middle two tubes, which are longer/larger, and the shorter/smaller two tubes for 533mm sitting on the top with the reloads hoisted up from the lower torpedo room.
@@justicier10-7 Upon further review, you're right. I just looked at the schematic and noticed that the larger torps are on the bottom set of tubes which are longer with respect to their placement in the hull. They got it right, I had it wrong.
Awesome video, thanks for uploading Wolfpack! One observation, it's a tad false being able to share a single tactical picture amongst three units whilst dived, but obviously it is a game at the end of the day! Looking forward to the next one!
The only issue I can see with this is that the omniscience of the player means that you can have multiple submarines, as well as submarines and surface ships, cooperate in ways that aren't possible in real life.
Yeah, but it's still a game and i think it's way more better to control a task force made up of subs and warships then one sub or one warship like in cold waters...
On the other hand the units are less autonomous than in real life - the admiral does not tell a single fighter when to turn radar on and off 😊 It's a game after all 🤷♂️
One thing that should be simulated here, American ASW ships have the ability to use a dipping sonar. This sonar can go deep below the layer. American ASW can place their sensors both above and below the layer at the same time. This gives ASW ships one advantage over submarines.
Cool to see ships can now properly defend themselves against missiles. I like what i see and specialy how everything is modeled down to the point of opening hatches and small details like that, very cool. Did hear people say the graphics isnt very good but i think they are spoiled - did hear that from dude who runs simulations in DCS, the ships there are models made by enthusiast mod makers with infinite ammount of time and no need to look much into performance impact or overall detail balance so one model isnt crazy detailed nad second on the other side of spectrum. I think thats wher those voices come from.
This game looks like such a straight up expansion and upgrade from cold waters, it seems even more in depth, it has animations and actual rendered towed array's......and....and we can control more than one vessel which is huge, amongst many other great selling points i've seen thanks to your content wolfpack and another youtuber known as : Stealth17 Gaming and the devs being kind and smart enough to let you gents showcase this to us early, i've only seen one or two vids so far of sea power and i'm hands down already sold, game seems to have a really bright and expansive future ahead of it.....can't wait, great video Wolfpack as usual, 🙂
NGL - I'm so jealous that so many YTr's got to play this early, but I'm sure it gives a high level of feedback for the game. Still, 3 more days until release! I'm really looking forward to it.
In real life there would an escort so this game is very fictionalized. They even gave Russia a fake aircraft carrier that never even existed (never built). The Orel
Sounds similar to what happened to the USS Langley Battle Group and the Carrier itself in the book: The Sixth Battle After mauling the Kiev, Novorossiysk and Kuznetsov BGs with Harpoons, HARMs and Skippers (Real Hard Hitters) they got hit and badly worn down by Granits, Backfires and a wake homer finished the Langley off. Her Air wing did mostly evac to South Africa to continue the fight.
The idea was never about sinking the carrier or other ships in the CSG via conventional weapons. All Antey (or Oscar 2) subs were armed with the nuclear warheads. So, there was no need to make it pass all or most of the rockets through the CSG missile defense systems. Just one of it.
8:59 - "...Part of me is wondering if we are detected." - Russian submarines are detected once leaving port in Russia. An American submarine sonar officer once said, "Finding a Russian submarine is like trying to find a Cadillac from the 60's just by hearing. With it having a broken exhaust and dozens of cans, mounted with metal chains to the back of the car".
Great video! Question: Does it have a replay / VCR feature that let's you cut around to get all those great dramatic shots? I loved that feature in the old Aces series when I was a kid and wish that more of a feature in modern games.
As I watch the Carrier sinking I noticed that none of the planes that were on the deck did not fall off through out the engagement the carrier didn't put up any fighters or bombers I think the S3 Viking is considered an anti submarine hunter
So, I'm pretty deaf, and need to use the auto-generated subtitles. Can't tell you how hilarious it was to see you deploying the "toad" sonar arrays. XD
Old SSGN soviet ships could only launch a handful of these missiles at a time. It took some amount of time to get the fire control to switch missile banks. I really want to get my hands on the game so I can mod it to realistic systems. The game does a good job over all but some of the details like what types of torps a German sub would carry and shot along with this Soviet fire control system, they need an update patch. Yes I know it's a game but as a game dev you never want your game to end up like World of Warships.
Im as ignorant as can be to A I , however it seams to me its very passive aggressive compared to how a human would play. Love your vids and keep them coming
This game has such great potential. Add at least other NATO units and the entire UK and French fleet. Varied European countries fleets would make this game more realistic. It is not just the US against whomever.
Imagine how others must feel when they see other countries assets getting destroyed in games by the US. Humbling, isnt it? Sorry for your loss. And thank you for his service.
16:55 "Second wave of missile inbound 10 seconds to impact" "Counter with artillery barrage" "We can't hit all of them, brace for impact" 17:05 **BOOM** "Starboard side flood, damage control" "We been hit by 2 sub-launched missile, the ship listing" 18:09 "She's sinking, the ship's sinking"
Dedicated AC killer :D i remember killing ACs in cold waters with akula by sailing at crush debth making the torpedos implode before reaching me :D. But yeah i had to pop up slightly to fire my own, tho they managed to keep the cable after so noice :)
Odd that the masts can’t be raised in rough seas. Typically you would be worried about the current pushing against the mast bending it (usually a speed limit or something), not the waves slapping against it. Sure they’re less effective but you’d still be just fine to raise it.
@wolfpack345 great vid! I think it would be a really interesting vid if you were to recreate the Gulf of Tonkin incident that sparked off the Vietnam war.
great video! thanks oth didnt it take like 2 days for the US Navy to sink the EX America a few years ago in that SinkX and she wasn't even fighting back from what I hear they had to open her seacocks to finally let her go down
Ngl it would be pretty cool if a ship that carries Helos or other aircraft is going down & itll try and take off as many aircraft as possible to try and get them back to an airbase or just tryna give the pilots the best chance at survival, & with the helos they could try and go to another ship (That has the capacity for it) to put some of the sailors on that ship/ other ships & their helos will try and rescue liferafts.

I tried to watch this 7 times and fell asleep each time.
I never was interested in military fleet unlike other forces, but damn, it looks facinating.
NATO reporting name of the Granit is "Shipwreck"... like. Yeah dude!
Got to hand it to em, the soviets submarine fleets definitely had a nice aesthetic.
Sounds similar to what happened to the USS Langley Battle Group and the Carrier itself in the book: The Sixth Battle
After mauling the Kiev, Novorossiysk and Kuznetsov BGs with Harpoons, HARMs and Skippers (Real Hard Hitters) they got hit and badly worn down by Granits, Backfires and a wake homer finished the Langley off.
Her Air wing did mostly evac to South Africa to continue the fight.
The idea was never about sinking the carrier or other ships in the CSG via conventional weapons. All Antey (or Oscar 2) subs were armed with the nuclear warheads. So, there was no need to make it pass all or most of the rockets through the CSG missile defense systems. Just one of it.
I'll buy this game! FInally a game what we wanted and finally its here!
cannot express how much I cannot wait to play this game
8:59 - "...Part of me is wondering if we are detected." - Russian submarines are detected once leaving port in Russia. An American submarine sonar officer once said, "Finding a Russian submarine is like trying to find a Cadillac from the 60's just by hearing. With it having a broken exhaust and dozens of cans, mounted with metal chains to the back of the car".
This game is "instant purchase" material. Can't wait!
Sio many scenarios you can do! I love aircarrier missions too! Awesome to see how the airplanes start!
Damage model and air defense still seems a bit wonky. Still, very cool Oscar scenario. Nice to see you in command of K-206 again Wolfpack.
Oh hey look it's the sub that ate sh*t in your cold waters series
Also yay another video😊
Great video! Question: Does it have a replay / VCR feature that let's you cut around to get all those great dramatic shots? I loved that feature in the old Aces series when I was a kid and wish that more of a feature in modern games.
With Oscars like these, who needs Kirovs?
Btw: in shitty seas, surface the boat, actively search, then button up, sprint away. You will be gone long before the answer arrives.
The USS America is actually the ship my dad served on! that's cool!
The Oscar is so cool. I'm so glad to it in the game
As I watch the Carrier sinking I noticed that none of the planes that were on the deck did not fall off through out the engagement the carrier didn't put up any fighters or bombers I think the S3 Viking is considered an anti submarine hunter
Mom! There's a new Wolfpack345 video!!
So, I'm pretty deaf, and need to use the auto-generated subtitles. Can't tell you how hilarious it was to see you deploying the "toad" sonar arrays. XD
Nice opening...Finnish Jaeger needs to put more scenarios in the Workshop
I feel like that sub needs a “wide load” banner on the bow and stern.
As the son of a USS America veteran, this is a much better fate than being sunk as a SINKEX by your own Navy.
been a while since last time i play Command: Modern Operations that forced me to read all ftheory, watching this gamplay is refreshing....
I need the music you use in this video, it's very fitting and ominous.
I like all the details in all the little animations. 👍
Fire all Granites in one go.
Old SSGN soviet ships could only launch a handful of these missiles at a time. It took some amount of time to get the fire control to switch missile banks. I really want to get my hands on the game so I can mod it to realistic systems. The game does a good job over all but some of the details like what types of torps a German sub would carry and shot along with this Soviet fire control system, they need an update patch. Yes I know it's a game but as a game dev you never want your game to end up like World of Warships.
They also gave Russia a FAKE aircraft carrier in this game. The Orel was never even built
Thanks for a great episode. Really enjoyed.
Im as ignorant as can be to A I , however it seams to me its very passive aggressive compared to how a human would play. Love your vids and keep them coming
Really enjoying the series wilfpack
Love to see the tube doors operating
This game has such great potential. Add at least other NATO units and the entire UK and French fleet. Varied European countries fleets would make this game more realistic. It is not just the US against whomever.
I know it’s just a game but it breaks my heart to see an American carrier go down. My brother was on the USS Kitty Hawk.
I thank him for his service!
Imagine how others must feel when they see other countries assets getting destroyed in games by the US. Humbling, isnt it? Sorry for your loss. And thank you for his service.
@@parislikesliners His service of murdering poor people for Israel?
HE'S BACK WITH MORE SEA POWER!!!!!!!
16:55
"Second wave of missile inbound 10 seconds to impact"
"Counter with artillery barrage"
"We can't hit all of them, brace for impact"
17:05
**BOOM**
"Starboard side flood, damage control"
"We been hit by 2 sub-launched missile, the ship listing"
18:09
"She's sinking, the ship's sinking"
That wasn't abandoning ship, that rocket blew those rafts out of their compartments. 😬
Dedicated AC killer :D i remember killing ACs in cold waters with akula by sailing at crush debth making the torpedos implode before reaching me :D. But yeah i had to pop up slightly to fire my own, tho they managed to keep the cable after so noice :)
Odd that the masts can’t be raised in rough seas. Typically you would be worried about the current pushing against the mast bending it (usually a speed limit or something), not the waves slapping against it. Sure they’re less effective but you’d still be just fine to raise it.
The first game im going to buy day one!. Looks amazing
Would you do some naval mine warfare gameplay? I've been always interest about it :)
@wolfpack345 great vid! I think it would be a really interesting vid if you were to recreate the Gulf of Tonkin incident that sparked off the Vietnam war.
Well I'm just glad no one got hurt.
Love watching you play this game
That was a costly day for the Navy.
great video! thanks oth didnt it take like 2 days for the US Navy to sink the EX America a few years ago in that SinkX and she wasn't even fighting back from what I hear they had to open her seacocks to finally let her go down
Ngl it would be pretty cool if a ship that carries Helos or other aircraft is going down & itll try and take off as many aircraft as possible to try and get them back to an airbase or just tryna give the pilots the best chance at survival, & with the helos they could try and go to another ship (That has the capacity for it) to put some of the sailors on that ship/ other ships & their helos will try and rescue liferafts.
