Just a note on the Type 26 Frigates both HMS Glasgow and HMS Cardiff have been launched and will be commissioned late 2026 for Glasgow and early 2028 for Belfast... so they are further down the line the Constellation Frigate of which only 1 is under construction... and as to the Sachsen she was holding onto her missiles to safe the German government money...

The 84G Harpoon is not an error. The G stands for german, so this is license built in Germany, maybe with the one or the other different specifications/parts, but in general identically.

thanks for pronouncing Sachsen properly

I’ve been enjoying Seapower, but occasionally getting frustrated with bugs and or limits of the mission editor… however, the stark contrast of this video really made me appreciate Seapower for what it is only a few weeks after launch.

I hope that Seapower improves its aircraft mechanics so the CSG battles are a little bit more comparable. Sooner or later, CAP, Seapower will have modern ship mods and make it far more superior for these simulations than DCS.

[dobster]

Best of luck Cap, hope the new job works out for you. You deserve more for from YouTube. Many thanks for the entertainment.

[deepat]

When will sea power be "modernised"? As a patrion member I thank you for continuing to put out content. Keep it real cap. What they give they can tale away.

I would like to see a video on a NATO task force against the Russian Baltic fleet. You could do the German frigates, possibly French and British warships, a US destroyer, and 2 Polish Oliver Hazard Perry frigates vs 2 Neustrashimy, 4 Stereguschiyy, 4 Karakurt, 4 more Karakurt pretending to be Buyan M, and 4 Tarantul.
Also possibly throw in some air assets, too

Frigate on frigate violence, a naval battle indeed

[alexeyvlasenko]

Probably the difference in interception rate is because it's a different era. Since 1980, air defense has advanced more than anti-ship missiles. And also, as you said, the ships here are launching only a few ASMs at a time, instead of all of them in a huge volley. The latter would probably make more sense, and may overwhelm the other side's air defenses.

[Andysalive]

Germany navy was/is badly underfunded and missiles are really expensive. It's probably depressingly realistic that they would be hesitant to fire them.

[chrislewandoski]

Keep in mind that Sea Power is set in the 80's vs Modern Day for DCS. Anti-missile tech has come a long way in 40 years.

[michaelhoward]

If you can, run the galleon battle after removing the missiles, so they are forced to go with guns.

[LordHusky]

Red winning the galleon battle probably has to do with the main guns. 130mm, 100mm, 100mm vs. 127mm, 76mm, 57mm.

[Markusd]

In the beginning of the anti-ship missile age, the antiship missile had the advantage, later the ships anti air defensive missile capability caught up and surpassed the antiship missile. So I'd say both are relatively correct. But it's nearly back at a balance again in the last 5 - 7 years..

[Mmde]

I was looking forward to seeing the Sachsen

[SolNacht]

Why are DCS SAMs so accurate? 40-60 years difference in ship and computer technology. Having some falibility is what makes Seapower more interesting for me.

[danhodson]

I'm a simple man, I see Type 26, I click.

[starravenger]

Nice battle and new ship, after the next Gorshkov is released the rest will have 24-32 offensive vls cells instead of 16. Will you guys be modeling and using gorshkovs likes this and the original vls count or will you just stick to the model you have now? Also the gorshkovs would have been interesting with zircons in this battle.

[RomanianReaver]

Fun fact: The anti-submarine mortars are only anti-submarine because they also have a depth/timed fuse, they have two: impact and timed/depth which is why we saw them used on MTLB platforms in Ukraine as anti-building solutions (nothing fixes problems like one of those salvoing into a apartment building).

[IetsgoBrandon]

Even if Sea Power extended its time line to 1990s, the change would be significant ! Lacking of VLS in Sea power is frustrating.
