    Considering that Kirov fired off all her missiles and most of her escorts are knocked out of action, it would make more sense to return to the Soviet Union. In the Atlantic, it would just get taken out by a carrier task force, with no way to fight back. Also, a US task force and capital ship was sunk, I'd say mission accomplished, time to head home. Really awesome engagement though, and a great showing of the P-700, didn't even need the Slava's missiles.

    • @forcea1454

      Kirov would be held back to defend the SSBN Bastions, Soviets didn't really have any intention of conducting commerce raiding into the Atlantic, not with their best surface ships.

    • @ShadowGJ
      @ShadowGJ 2 місяці тому +30

      Overall, I don't think one would realistically see Kirov operating far beyond Soviet or Soviet-held territory, without air cover and somewhere to retreat to fairly quickly. As great as this engagement went, Kirov was left spent and poorly escorted, its position known to a surely vengeful enemy. Not only is her ill-considered mission thoroughly compromised, so is her ability to return to a friendly port. If not caught by a carrier task force, by submarine or air attacks coming from as far east as Britain. Sure, you've dealt a significant blow to the Americans, but nowhere near war-winning. And she's done, so far out in the Atlantic. Critical resource spent.
      This scenario had to ignore a whole bunch of context and have NATO make very questionable decisions (i.e. try to engage Kirov's group with an old-fashioned Iowa SAG as opposed to a carrier TF) for it to play out the way it did. But this is mostly a demonstration, and a fairly plausible one, at that. It's not a walk in the park, NATO still fights hard, and there's a lot of tension. Definitely engaging.

    Kirov, in all cases, would be supported by Tu-95RTs (Ту-95РЦ), maritime reconnaissance and targeting aircraft, because missiles greatly outrange sensors of the ship. The plane is in the game, saw it in Enigma's unit review.
    In real life there also was (and maybe even is rn, but new) satellite system made specially for navy to help find and target US carrier strike groups, but I doubt we'll ever get it in game (maybe as a mod, I hope)

      After years of reading about Granat missile swarms it was good to see them doing it. I was wondering how they would target the missiles and I thought that maybe they would fire them with out accurate range to target. As long as they fly them down the bearing of an identified contact they could let the missiles find the range. Assuming target was within max range. The Tu-95RT makes much more sense though.

    Hey Wolf, great video! It's always interesting to watch how all these different Cold War ships and weapon systems interact, and Sea Power looks like a bright light in the future of naval sims.
    With regard to the P700, its delivery systems like the Kirov, and sinking enemy battlegroups, you *need* saturation strikes to push a missile attack through layered enemy defenses, and the best way to achieve that is through mass. You have 20 P700s onboard Kirov, use all of them. If you're attacking an enemy formation that justifies the use of a complex system like the P700, then that automatically justifies expending your entire payload in one go. That's what this missile system is designed to do, it's a fleet-hunting swarm, and the more missiles you commit to the strike, the more wolves you have on the prowl.
    In committing a portion of your available rounds to an attack instead of the entire set, you not only lose out on mass that you already have sitting around waiting for ships to kill, but you weaken your initial strike on target, and you *also* weaken your follow-up strike on your remaining rounds because you now only have a handful of shots left. You've essentially condemned yourself to a pair of small-mass strikes on a target that requires a large-mass strike to eliminate, and if the enemy eats up your first strike because of its smaller size, you can be for darn sure they're going to eat up the follow-up as well.
    When it comes to saturation missile strikes and mass, never be afraid to over-kill an enemy fleet. You should be terrified of under-killing it.
    Rationing ammunition on your ships is never a bad thing, but that's only a rule of thumb, not a hard guideline. As I stated above, P700 is designed to be used en-masse, as a swarm. Think of it as one big missile. Save it for something big and valuable, but when you find something worth using it on, use all of it.

    I must say, the sequence from 13:55 to 14:10 is just absolutely stunning. The Harpoon skimming the surface, the sillouete of the ships at the horizon, the puffs of the CIWS, the smoke pillars formed by the trails of the SAM missiles, and the water splashes of the artillery bracketing the Harpoon. I'm so glad this game allows you to follow the missiles like it does.

    Again, cool animations, and I liked how the AI seemed to more intelligently skirt your AD envelope while maintaining contact with the A-6. What doesn't make sense is the A-6s and B-52s making seemingly suicidal attacks at high alt like it's 1942 with their advanced OTH sea skimming cruise missiles. The AI needs more work still. Also, if they are going to make those kinds of attacks, let's see them employ something like AGM-123 which is going to leave any large surface combatant having a bad day.

From a realistic perspective once the decision was made to engage those A6s I’d say the military’s philosophy on expect worse case scenario would apply. I would assume there are missiles in the air (activate air search radars), then (assuming the decision to engage is necessary) assure the a6s shoot down, assume there are subs repositioning or torps in the water (deploy sonar buoys), assume there are surface contacts repositioning (plan counter offensive/defense for long range ASM launch), and continue with mission goal under fire assessing as new actions arise (probably aircraft from land base). 15:52

    I think a challenge for those of us coming to Cold War era games like this is to remember how missile-to-radar technology worked back then. We are used to playing Command or other hi-tech games set in the post-1995 world of semi-active radar homing missiles, like the AMRAAM or Patriot. But in the Cold War, most missiles (SAMs and AAMs) needed active homing radar from the firing platform to guide them all the way home. This was true for basically all Russian missiles, but also NATO missiles like the Phoenix, Sparrow, etc., unless it was an infrared missile fired at short range (Stinger or Sidewinder).

    • @egoalter1276
      @egoalter1276 2 місяці тому

      It was true until the mid 70s.
      AIM64 phoenix, and for the issr R30 and R33 were self guiding, and S300 had composite guidance from the start, and S200 got self guiding missiles eventually.
      While NATO mostly ignored GBAD, and assumed air supermacy in their doctrinal planning, the soviets always knew they would be on the backfoot in the air, and sunk consudersvle resources and planning into SAM development.
      Part of this was the experience in Vietnam with S75M, and concluded that the best way of countering SEAD was minimizing the time radar directors irradiate, and displacing them physically from the TELAR units.
      To this end both s200 and 300 were mounted on sepf propelled trailers with a bominal 5 minute deployment time, and the missile batteries only had tight beam director radars rendering them invisible to elint apart from the tadget the, were painting, with the air search radar only at regiment level.

      Switching on surface radar ONLY when targets, spotted by helo's radars, enter the range of the sam, and not before.
      Open radar and immediate fire, with multiple missiles on each target to ensure fast kill, as soon as the target enter the sam range.
      Then ensure complete destuction of the aerial patrol, not allowing the planes to evaluate visually the situation to report and call for a naval strike, as they did.
      The goal is to be the first one to deliver the SS salvo, not the one to receive it.
      You are supposed to be NOT ID as long as you have not fired the first SS attack.
      That's also why helo reco is very important : to be the first to engage and not to be engaged at first.
      Plotting a buoy pattern for one or (better cause faster) 2 helo, and an helo to pop up (3000ft is enought, then back to 20ft) sometimes (just short pictures, not "radar on" all the way !) to get a radar picture, while advancing toward the ennemy.
      THIS helo will tell you when to open the sam radar because he will tell you when ennemy planes are in range of the sam, very important helo, here also, better 2 then one (but at different places), because it is exposed.

    I'm guessing this reupload got rid of the dual tomahawk defense clip? Love you wolfpack! Keep up the good work man. One of the only creators that I watch every video you put out.

      To be honest, the USN would probably have gladly traded away one of the obsolete BBs to protect a CVN or even a big atlantic convoy.

      @@egoalter1276good news, you sank the Iowa, which is of questionable usefulness anyway.
      Bad news: you didn’t even find the carrier strike force, and it has already found you as evidenced by the Hawkeye and prawler keeping an eye on you. And they have more AShMs than you have interceptors.

    i used to do these types of engagements in Lock On: Modern Air Combat way back in early 2000s. The predecessor to DCS.
    I even used the Kuznetsov as a flagship in some scenarios. The Kuznetsov is quite capable by herself even xD

      Well the game Kuznetsov is. Real Kuznetsov is rather less so due to her propensity for breakdowns.

    Кстати, а если разворачивать корабли носом или кормой к ракетам, это помогает избежать попадания?

      вряд ли это на что-то повлияет всё равно будет попадание, тут самолёты по рельсам летают и не отворачивают от ракет
