Actually the US NAVY does have 30 Ticonderoga class Cruisers (well, 27) in its inventory although 5 of the earliest models have been scrapped, and another is under repair. That leaves 21 in active service.
Currently, there are 22 Ticos in service, but 11 are set to start retiring next year. We have 68 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in service right now, with 7 more on the way.
NAVAL ATTACK: Though it would be tedious to set up, the ships would be spread out, all within 10 kilometers of shore, with each ship assigned a 1 kilometer square target grid in a different part of the city, with artillery focused on one large building per ship. AIR ATTACK: For carpet bombing, more bombs is better than bigger bombs. In the Vietnam War a formation of six B-52s line abreast 100 meters apart, dropping their bombs from 9,000 meters, could take out almost everything within a "box" approximately 1 kilometer wide by 2 kilometers long. Today the US could muster a flight of maybe 60 B-52s for one mission. For video purposes, since the planes aren't being shot at, you don't need to have them all arrive at the same time. I'd recommend doing five flights of 6 planes, each with the maximum 108 Mark-82 500-pound bombs. If each flight had a different 1x2 kilometer area, that would be 20 square kilometers of city obliterated. For kicks you could add B-1s as well with a similar load. The US could launch maybe 50 of those at any one time, devastating another dozen square kilometers.
I’m glad it actually simulates this… kinda hated sims that don’t show what happens as a simulation . Just ram a building with a tank or jet and it invincible… that’s not a proper simulation. This is awesome 👏
Interesting, should be possible for ED to optimize the particles a little or tone them down to get some extra performance. I mean I would love to have the option to turn off smoke and particles to play with big damage for an example, and then of course you can also optimize it by combining smoke plumes to ease the rendering process as well.
9:44 "It's not a massive PC, it's a 5900X" - Yeah there still is the 5950X... and Threadripper, but those suck for DCS as they boost much less because of more cores. 9:51 "Jesus wants 34 A-Bombs dropped in formation" - I always knew he was a complete and utter barstid! :D Next up: How many Wickmids does it take to kill Caps rig?
The amount of damage man... If only those stupid Tomahawks are spread around. I just was hoping you're going to nuke it. And then you did hahaha. But that is disappointing the mushroom cloud is so small. I think the developers mistook Fatman for "MOAB".
I asked u to do this exact thing, but In a different way. I wanted to see all the missiles go off in a barrage. From a bunch of ships. THANK YOU MR CAP! Oh, and tell Simba, I know his secret... Him and RC are the same person. I'm convinced.
I once made a mission where part of it involved a bunch of Scuds being launched at Dubai from Iran. I think 8 or so. But I see now: I must think bigger!
22 Tico's the USN has right now. Don't ask me to name them, because I will. USAF some 76 B52's currently. Last time I was this early, I was in Dubai thirty years ago.
This is the new Mk II 'bombproof' cow. Actually, if you were to have positioned a large number of picnic plates at just the right distance, you could have got a perfectly cooked piece of beef steak on every single plate.
You Need To Mod The B52 To Carry A MOAB On Each Wing. Popular Mechanics Said The AF Is Working On New Wings That Can Carry Twice The Wing Load As Normal.
28 Ticonderogas were built (hull numbers CG-47 through CG-73). CG-47, 48, 49, 50, and 51 were decommissioned in 2004 or 2005. All of those have been scrapped or sunk as a target except for CG-48 (USS Yorktown), which is awaiting scrapping. 5 more hulls were scheduled to be decommissioned in February or March of 2022, although I can't find any confirmation that they have been decommissioned. 9 more are planned to be decommissioned over the next few years, which will leave the US with 8 Ticos in active service after 2026.
Considering when my ship was in Iraq in 1991, it was strapped with nuclear tipped TLAM's just in case Saddam used WMD's, our ship was ready to retaliate.
Lolz you do not want to be in downtown Dubai at this event, nice boom boom to watch :) Hey Cap can you do the valued sientific request to try and shoot something through the open cargo/gunner doors of a DCS chopper , so basically you fire from one side with whatever unit , the projectile passes through the chopper and hits something on the other side ( with or without destroying the chopper - to be determined ) :)
I would very much like to see all of the battleships you guys used for other videos firing on Dubai for 5 to 10 mins. Then perhaps that plus a slew of modern ships
Cap: did you remember to change out the ammunition for the ships' guns, from anti-ship ammo (probably armor-piercing high-explosive) to something they would be more likely to use in shelling a ground target (probably simple high-explosive)?
40 B-52s = half the remaining fleet of BUFFs.... I guess we could say the Burj Kalifa was....BUFF'ed out! 😅 Seriously though, back in the day we had something like 400+ B-52s. 😊
the lack of optimized smoke is KILLING us VR users right now. With the newly stated VR focus, hopefully we'll see it addressed, and itll help EVERYBODY!!!
I actually - as always - like this sort of GR video. Thank you, CAP. However given the time of year I think maybe the sensitivity to that 20th anniversary, and a tower being targeted, probably isn't the best timing or situational discretion... Just saying...
Sorry but I totally disagree. First, it is just a game. Second, the anniversary was 2 days ago already. Third, USA is not the center of the universe. While I know that this is a sensitive topic for Americans, any person around the world could complain because certain date is the anniversary of some bombing. During September we also commemorate a very important political date that also included a bombing in my country, which was something very traumatic for a lot of people as well. While probably it is not nearly as known as the American 9/11 worldwide, I don't have any problem with the timing, and I'm sure that nobody from my country would have it either. These videos are meant for people from all over the world and not just Americans. Let's simply enjoy and laugh with the great videos that CAP and his team makes for all of us
Don't plan on visiting Dubai any time soon :) Next time spread the air wing out for a wider spread. One B52 and all of it's bombs does a good job of trashing everything with it bombs. Could even slow ripple drop them for a longer spread. Could possibly destroy the whole city winning a free trip to Dubai in a big trunk for a talk with their police :)
Most named Jesus are from Spanish language origins like Mexico or South America and it is pronounced HeyZeus like Jalepinio (Halepinio).. By the way this is very accurate sim of your British Army...what were they aiming at? 1 Command Unit? Wiped out an entire city and still missed. I think 1 cow might have gotten upset about some noise so it wasnt a total waste.
"That was pretty underwhelming"
Yeah not for the civilians I bet lmao
I guess the viewers have been more valid. :)
Captain: Send the explosives
Gunner: The guns or Missles sir?
Captain: Yes

Only cap has the nut's to put 2fps videos out for us, i love it!!!
I was born without pride or dignity...
The trick is to blink at the same rate as the FPS.. it smooths out the jitters!
I always wanted to know what a 1000 bomber raid like those on Germany in WW2 would look like today.
Thanks for that
Same
Or a 1000 Mig 21 nuke bombing run.

That many B52s? With nukes, there'd be no more UAE. That many B52s with conventional weapons? There'd be no more UAE.
lol

This is awesome 👏
I'm amazed the bombings in WWII could even render at all.
lol
I truly love your narration style. The dry humor makes me laugh every time.

More bombs please.
Thank you Jesus
That city destruction is on par with most levels of earth defense force lol
The amount of damage man... If only those stupid Tomahawks are spread around. I just was hoping you're going to nuke it. And then you did hahaha.

DCS should do a proper nuke animation. We have lots and lots of test footage and simulations to go off.
And this, Mr. Shah, is why you will never embargo our oil again.

agree
I speak for all of us when I say that was not what we expected.
Short but stirling work and you made short work of downtown Dubai as well, stirling work. Too bad Short Stirling isnt in DCS yet.
I’m guessing the a bomb wasn’t armed.
You can force intel to use more cores
And already spreads it across all cores if you enable virtualization.
It may require alot of people, or advanced sim configs, but would love to see a reenactment of Pubar's party of the first Gulf War.

next time give them juicier targets like the Iranian mini boat squads

A fun start to the week guys.🍻👏

what about using the MOAB !! please
I would very much like to see all of the battleships you guys used for other videos firing on Dubai for 5 to 10 mins.
Then perhaps that plus a slew of modern ships
someone is gonna get a rather nasty letter after this one
in the post already...
I'd honestly watch a "The Roast of SuperCap" video featuring all those hate mails you get... XD
Q: Can you commit war crimes in DCS?
A: Yes.
it's not war crime if civilians work creating gdp for their nation, it's only destroying industrial workforce
Ive never been able to get the tomahawks to scatter. I usually set each one to its own target but that would take hours to set up at this scale
Cap: did you remember to change out the ammunition for the ships' guns, from anti-ship ammo (probably armor-piercing high-explosive) to something they would be more likely to use in shelling a ground target (probably simple high-explosive)?
you can't change ammo on the ships
@@Mojje42 Well, that's disappointing.
I don't think I actually get the choice...

I would like to see this done to the orc hordes in Mordor or in front of Minas Tirith... who wants to make it happen? annnnnd go
i just learned that you can destroy buildings in dcs
Those cows are now ground beef.
we need super big oil well burning smoke effects too
"Do they die on their feet"?
"I don't know I've never killed a cow"!
Deep LOLZ
Doesn't know if a cow dies on its feet? Such a sadly misspent youth.
Cap it must be hard to stay motivated working from home. Fair play 🥃
the lack of optimized smoke is KILLING us VR users right now. With the newly stated VR focus, hopefully we'll see it addressed, and itll help EVERYBODY!!!
kills our MP games

There have been 27 completed Ticonderoga class cruisers.

so the frame rate is low but once the frames are calculated they should be able to be replayed at full speed right?
It seems Like They Would Use The Tower As A Target Reference, And Aiming Point.
We really need Daisy Cutters
We have 21 Ticonderoga's active as of this time.

DCS needs a bigger Brain, but then again, I have seen Terminator!!!
THIS is why we can't have nice things.
What the hell did Dubai do to piss you off so badly ?
It was too tall...
😂😂😂 i cant breathe, fuck🤣
i would like someday dcs world simulates nukes
Hmmm.... The UAE government might not be pleased to see this video.... LOL... Should have tried the MOAB...
Why did only half of the Ticoderogas fire missiles?
Just the way I set them. Just being lazy.
So I wasn't the only one to notice this... thought the AI was just double-you-word-ized :D
Hey cap you should make a cinematic called the grim reapers: nuke edition
lol
its goen its back its goen again
points for Shock and Awe
Do this again with ww2 battleships!!!
agree
Please Indian and American Carrier Group Vs Chinese and Russian Carrier Group.
Please!!!!!
Bad day for property prices
agree
Very scientific indeed :)
If the hulk absolutely has to be eliminated all those tomahawk cruise missiles might be a start…..
DCS has same damage model of buildings as Lock On! Its Grand Dad!
Next Blow up Jumeirah Beach
Fucking send this to OPEC maybe oil prices will drop
