Could Modern UK Ships & Aircraft Defend London From V-1 & V-2 Flying Bombs? (WarGames 211) | DCS

SCUD LAUNCHER
*c&c generals theme*

More V-2 would’ve made it to ground more reliably than the scuds … because they were less accurate and at least one would’ve come down out of the destroyer’s range.

Just out of curiosity, you have Tacview right? That's often pretty useful for these kind of mock engagements since you track the various launches

BTW: I was told by a content creator that the replies he gets don't always seem to be linked to all posts, so to clarify, this is the "Could Modern UK Ships & Aircraft Defend London From V-1 & V-2 Flying Bombs? (WarGames 211) | DCS" video.

went bascially as i expected and if the mods had worked properly the v1 interception would have happend a lot lot sooner. i wonder if the destroyer was in a more open position (not surrounded but buildings) if that may hve made a differnce (given dcs crude nature in a lot of ways no clue if this does or does not mke a differnce)

Is it just me, or the download link on the DCS Forum site doesn't work? I'm getting "the file you have requested does not exist" error message.

I would like to see if the newly refitted Izumo class "helicopter destroyer" equipped with "12 or more" F-35B would make a notable change to history!
Your pick of IJN loss against the US in WWII, but for some reason, the Izumo is brought in. The crew, honor bound by bushido, must fight alongside the Izumo against the Allied horde.
You and the boys will play as the US, respawns allowed. The IJN (including their future vessel) will be controlled by AI, once they're out of ammo/fuel/planes/ships they lose, unless they make a significant difference to how the battle originally went.

You guys are incredibly bad. Why would you choose guys with no experience in Spitfires to join you? Why wouldn't they bother to learn before playing?

It would be smarter to have each guy take turns firing so that the missiles aren't wasted tracking the same targeting the same thing.

If think this was terrifying look up the other weapons in the Aggregate series the V2 or A4 was meant to be a stop gap The later Verdions such as the B model with swept wings the towed submarine launched version that was ready but no missile to launch the super V2 or A8 made most war in france and also the in process during the war and in service by 1946 the A9 capable of hitting america of had been given chance to be developed

That was good ang interesting. Happy Easter all. 🐥🐤🐣🐰🐰🐇🎉🎇🎆🎊✌️

the Spitfire has to be one of the best looking (and sounding) aircraft ever built.....

Don't know if this is possible, but have you seen or read Gate (Thus the JSDF Fought There!)?
Soooo, what difference would the JSDF forces depicted in the anime/manga/light novel have made at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields?
Or the Battle of Helm's Deep, had reinforcements not arrived?

I would love to have a coffee mug, t-shirt or hat that has the GR logo and the phrase "...go and get another one..." Instantly bought.

Howdy cap, what software do you use to record your screen ?

The british navy went from being the most powerful in the world to being unable to defend against WW2 missile barrage

How fast is the V1 in DCS? In this video it looks like toooooooooooooo slooooooooooooow... shoud be flying over 600Km/h but appears to be way slower than that

Oh. That's part of the Axis of Time trilogy. Decent story series.

Far out, imagine being on the ground hearing the pulse jet of the V1 overhead and a Spitfire chasing it. Terrifying

Probably if there was enough!

Do you think Hawker Typhoons or Tempests would outperform Spitfire Mk IX on V1 interceptions?

The VLS V1 sounds amazing 😂

tbf shooting down a liquid fuel rocket on take off is quite reasonable. They go slow at first. A solid rocket motor one is a lot less gemuetlich.

Except when a massive space shuttle plus tank is attached to it of course. And even that went off the pad faster than a Saturn V.

I know this is a just-for-fun video, but it illustrates something I think you could do better in your more realistic videos. I don't know how many Meteor's the UK has, but France only has 160. Firing off 30% of their Meteor's in one mission doesn't make any sense. The use for them is to attack strategic air assets like AWACS and tankers, otherwise France will be out of Meteor's in the first day of any conflict.

Just the radar on the Euros is a huge adavantage over the Spits. Then add speed and missiles.

The fact that there were Spitfire and Mustang pilots who had the balls and skill to fly up alongside these cruise missiles, then getting their wing under the missile and using air pressure, cause it to 'tip over' and crash to the ground, is genuinely incredible. Respect to that kind of skill.

dcs modding is like the minecraft of flight simulation

How did that ship get under the bridges

Pretty close, Cap. The V1 did about 360Mph (and that close with a Spit you'd be a cloud of pink mist killing them).

I think you made mistake protecting the house of commons should protect the pubs, you will get free beer. Not taxed to death.

I believe pilots attempted the wing tip flip even when they had ammo for fear of the explosion damaging their plane.

Why is the UK's landbased air defence missile systems almost non existent?

is wep a historical thing? I thought it was just from warthunder

If this happens today can you please let the ones heading for parliament get through and get all others to help the people thanks.

A V1 had a speed of 600km/h a v2 had a speed of 5000km/h (in a hight of 90km) no spitfire or whatever just fly behind and catch up to the missle.

Matrix ???

Ty

great video!

Hooked on your antics

bad link to mod?

The V1 buzz bombs had an average cruising speed of 313 knots.

I'm so happy. Thank you Cap, and God bless the United Kingdom

And please explain when Germany launched forty V1s and forty V2s.
Good grief, the best advice I have for you is not to believe everything you think.

I don't think the UK forces could handle the Isle of Mann invading the mainland any longer 😢. How about if Russia invaded Europe could the UK stop them invading us?

I didn't know Sea Ceptors were effective against ballistic missiles.

Colt 911? WtF, this from a Yank? Turn in your passport and other identification Sir and leave my country.
