NEW Chinese Type 055 Destroyer vs 2020's US Tico & Arleigh Burke III (Naval Battle 83) | DCS

We simulate a battle between Chinese Type 055 Destroyers and modernized US Ticonderoga CMP Cruisers & Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyers. This is the first time we get a look at the Chinese YJ-18 supersonic and YJ-21 hypersonic ballistic anti-ship missiles.

Damn what a cool mod! Well done, will love to see the future naval battles with these modernised ships

Type 055 looks really clean and beautiful!❤

[SonB]

Really good work on the new units - CH is an incredibly skilled modder. Long live your naval content! I never get tired of watching CIWS go brrrr.

[alanOHALAN]

I don't think you can intercept YJ-21 easily. But it is fun to watch.

[zylaaeria]

055's are some sexy ships. Probably my favorite modern warship.

[Black_loyalist]

In Real Scenario, Type 055 would Launch YJ-18 first then YJ-21. So both will arrive in the same time from space (YJ-21) & sea level (YJ-18). YJ-21 also have Maneuvarable warhead, not conventional like potrayed in this simulation 🇨🇳

[jeremiahhandcock]

The YJ21 is being largely underestimated in the video. According to the V2 in the WWⅡ，V2 re-enter atmosphere speed was 1200 m/s while the speed of hitting the ground was 600 ms/s. The YJ21 has a re-enter atmosphere speed of 10-12 mach and a much more advanced design than V2, it can reach 5-6 mach easily when it hit the target. The momentum is already enough to destory a ship without considering its warhead's penatration blast.

That's an absolutely fantastic mod, props to CH and you guys!

[lukindmitri]

Tried 055 vs Ticons scenario in the *hardcore* "Command: Modern Operations", and these YJ21s performed miserably, missing basically all in multi slavoes against single US CSG. Until I checked it out in database viewer and saw the parameters the dev team had set for them. Sensors: Surface radar, late 1970s technology. LOL, you could jam it with a hairdryer.

[thomaszhang]

Just a minor correction: 8 are currently launched, tested and commissioned, of which 5 had undergone qualification and deemed qualified for high intensity situations.

[Stinger]

From an aesthetic standpoint, the Chinese have made an impressive-looking monster of a ship in the form of the 055.

Now that this battle ended in a stalemate, what happens to all of the placed bets?

[strambino]

Awesome job CH and Cap! I’m finally getting a computer that can run DCS because of this show! That “chaff” counter measure system is a little much, but still really good to see new ships. Can’t wait to see the 052D and the FFG 62.

[MrHien]

The HHQ-9 on the type 055 has the special capability of firing blind then guided to the target by the AWACS. That is the reason for its super long range and put on the huge 9m VLS cell

[eifionwynwilliams-iffy]

The Type 055's are not going to be alone either, so two or three of them working together would be really impressive.

[dexlab]

That was AWESOME - Thanks CH and Cap 😮😊

[joeyxu]

YJ-21 hypersonic missile (maximum speed > Mach 10 )， SM-6 (maximum speed Mach 3.5), so I doubt how the sm-6 intercepted the YJ-21

[jeremiahhandcock]

YJ-21 has an terminal speed of mach 10 and range for more than 1000 km. It is very hard to intercept them without faster missles

[shortroundoifusmc]

You could try a 055 stopping the Attack on Pearl Harbor, with all planes attacking the 055.

[grmatrix]

To destroy a Type 055 I suggest an Astute or Virginia class submarine.

Jolly good show,
but that must have been the first time anyone used the phrase
"Pure Chinese freedom" 🤣
