I think you're underestimating how much we the viewers want to see giant formations of our favorite bombers get nuked and fall from the sky.. That was a very fun ending
Although you shot down nearly all of them on the first attempt, seeing all those German piolt parachutes over the Home Counties looked like an invasion -- LOL
Cool early jets, lotsa slow bombers, boom boom everywhere, and then a nuke takes the whole formation out! Fantastic vid! Can the Genie take on the Boghammer swarm?
I would love to see a repeat of the "Battle of Palmdale" with the F-89 Scorpion using the FFAR’s against that F6F Hellcat target drone that went rogue.
Getting Final Countdown vibes ;) Cheers guys, for the video. Got myself the Heatblur F14, the Sabre, the P47 and the Supercarrier in the aniversary sale. I am completely new, but these are the birds that felt most right. Will dive into learning the Tomcat with my T16000, together with your videos and Chuck's guides.
On the plus side, you'd never know what hit you. The initial radiation is instantly lethal that is IF the energy pulse didn't fluoresce your bones and literally make you explode. Happy thought, eh?
@@itsjustme8947The sheer gamma flux energy needed to cause calcium to emit at a lower energy state would've vaporized one long ago - certainly a horrific weapon either way
I can just imagine those pilots on the JU-88s seeing the jets fly over them and realizing that they were probably doomed. And having no ideal where they came from! If I was the pilot of a JU-88, I would turn tail, dive to the ground and run for home.
LOLZ, Imagine sitting somewhere in the English Countryside, enjoying your tea & crumpets and suddenly there's a bright flash, followed by a thick rain of Junkers-wrecks. 😯😆
the f-84 was also the first jet fighter to do aerial refueling during the Korean War and that model was the f-48g. the f-84f was a swept wing version of the the f-84.
Let's not forget about the Thunderscreech. The turboprop variant Cap mentioned. It was apparently the loudest aircraft ever produced. Significant hearing loss was achieved every time!
@@matthewcoleman1919 it caused seizures, deafness, loss of consciousness, cracked concrete with just the sound etc. it was insane, you couldn’t even properly record the sound of it from tens of miles away
Yes I can confirm we like explosions. You could have even run one additional run where those bombers dropped nukes instead just for the fun of it. :) Just look at how well Michael Bay movies do to understand that people like explosions and the story is optional. ;) I still like learning about the aircraft and the interesting commentary so don't do just explosions.
I love your videos! BUT! I have one request: Can you please enlarge your mouse pointer so it is easier to see where it is on the screen? If you changed the pointer color to, say, yellow - that would be even more swell. Keep up the good work!
Thinking back to your early videos defending london, and you guys have come so far and gotten way better at your tactics and execution, very well done. If I were living in sim-london and I had to choose one ad-hoc squadron with future weapons to keep me safe, I'd want it to be you guys
6:31 I like 1940's jets more! ;) 22:33 only one way to find out! Lol if so please include P-80, F-100, F-104, and F-105! 28:04 lol come Cap I hate when you say that😅 I'm sure there's plenty more you could do! Attack Ships, (could even try modern ships), and possibly a defending Pearl Harbor scenario!👍
Used to glide at West Malling with the cadets in the seventies the old night fighter station made famous by "Cats eyes" Cunningham, sadly now a housing estate 😢
I'm sure there was a brevity code for special weapons launch... I remember the word for dropping a nuclear depth bomb - "Dustbin, Dustbin, Dustbin"... rather appropriate as the world would become a dustbin afterwards .
We really need the Argentinians vs some 1950 and 1960's aircraft on defense. Especially since it is early missile fights, it could get interesting to watch.
Your missing the point of a P-80 Vid... It's our first operational jet fighter! Flying around the same time as Me-262, please reconsider doing my original request. Lol as I stated before if you guys had The Me-262 you'd be going crazy with it... bummer you don't seem to feel the same about The U.S. P-80 Shooting Star!😅 Please! P-80 intercept Ju-88's with Fw190's Antons plus Doras and Bf109G's plus K-4's escorts!🙏
dude standard laser blasters on the imperial cruise ships where already at 40 gigatonnes converted from joules which is 0.5 percent less power than in the tzar bomba. even the xwings laser blasters is as powerfull as small tactical nukes. not to talk about cruise ships firing range where where between 1 and one and a half astronomical units which is the length that the earth is from the sun. so the earth would be vaporized long before they would even notice!
My brain is all over the place tonight. There was a guy, I think it was in WWII, who fitted bazookas to his piper cub spotter plane. Sooooo Hang a half dozen Davey Crockets under the wings of something that can get to 20k feet.
Cap try seeing if the genie rocket could help with shooting down the SR-71 black bird and or the new SR-72. Sounds like the only thing left to try and gives you reason to fly the sexiest plane ever made!
Imagine if CH made a zero length launch trailer and discarding rocket boosters for the F-104 starfighter, like they trialed in real life. Hey CAP have you been watching C4 topguns of the RAF by chance. Thanks for the vids👍
F94 starfire had afterburner i think? was an interim 2 seat interceptor based on the 2 seat f80, used till the f89 came along. These era planes used to use unguided rockets as air to air as well.
the Code for firing a Nuke Is i forget the exact term but it an ARROW because every other term used to describe the events with nukes were empty quiver, broken arrow, or other weapon terms like bent spear, or dull sword, and NUCFLASH
The F-102 Delta Dagger did not carry the Genie Rocket…as far as the “Century Series” aircraft were concerned, only the F-101 and F-106 carried the rocket. The F-102 carried the AIM-26 Super Falcon missile, which was a guided nuclear tipped “Fox 1” missile with a range of six miles.
I read somewhere that the tactic was to detonate the genie above the enemy formation - the pressure wave would snap the wings off of all the bombers. I'm pretty sure this was never tested. Good news Reapers - the Air Force determined that radiation exposure to the launching aircraft and crews was within "acceptable limits".
I propose a Deathmatch, everyone has a nuke, last player alive wins. Everyone comes in at each other in a giant circle. It would be hilarious because it's hard to tell if you're in the kill zone or not, same it's a game of chicken.
Tactics question: when the jets are so much faster than the bombers, why not run through across the formation, placing the whole width of the formation across your gun sights and then just running figure eights across the formation? I've thought this other times when you've done these speed mismatches. Just wondering.
Oh crap!! Cap, you killed my favorite cheese factory!!!! I just hope they got my cheddar order out first!!! 😄 To be honest, I kind of wished they had more of the Century Series fighters. It would be cool to see what would happen if the Cold War went "hot" in the '60s. Republic has a great history of aircraft. The P-47, the F-84, the F-105, and the A-10!!! "Fox-kT" maybe?
One additional Genie mission might be interesting: Angola (which has about 80 MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-22, Su-25, and Su-30 aircraft) are attacking their neighbor Zambie (which has fewer than a dozen MiG-19 fighters supplemented by an archaic S-125 air defense system). Expecting a pitiful defense by obsolete aircraft with no modern missiles, the attackers have their fighters in an impressive formation above their heavily laden attack aircraft with cargo and transport aircraft several miles behind. Unbeknownst to the Angolans, Zambia know the attack is coming. Zambia prepositioned one of their hopelessly outmatched MiG-19s in a camouflaged tent. As the armada passes overhead, the MiG powers out of its concealment, takes off from a makeshift runway, and fires a Genie to take out the Attacking MiGs and Sukhois from behind then turns to gun down the Angolan cargo and troop aircraft. Minutes later, another MiG-19 uses a Genie to take out the main invasion force of T-62 and T-72 main battle tanks. The Zambian Army then moves into position to defend the border against any remaining attacking units and refugees.
Cap also to your earlier comment about the Sabre carrying a nuclear bomb, it seems that only the F-86H was capable of carrying one but the article I read didn't specify so I would assume it was also the Mark 7 nuclear bomb
I was watching one of GR videos on nasams protecting Kyiv. Cap made a comment that got me kind of laughing. He was talking about really old tech. I've spent or wasted depending on your view about the technology of WW2. I have several theories but I won't bore people.... I just don't think most people truly understand how world war 2 has changed our lives. Beyond van braun and v2 rockets eventually taking us to the moon. We have German scientist like Lippisch who's theories on lifting bodies got us the space shuttle.
One absolutely ICONIC 60s/70s fighter/interceptor NEEDS to get the GR treatment. Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you..... The English-Electric Lightning. Basically two F**KING-great engines with a couple of Sidewinders gaffer-taped on for good measure, capable of going supersonic in a 90 degree climb. Brute-force British engineering at its best 🥰🥰
1.5kt has an instant kill radius of about 1,000 feet, a radiation pulse kill range of about a mile, thermal pulse range of half a mile, with a matching pressure wave radius. However, they did launch several at once. Probably lost half the Genies to warhead fratricide as well.
Can you do a yf-23 mission. The yf-23 was my childhood aircraft that I loved and would love to see a mission done with this beautiful and amazing aircraft
I would love to see what era of 6 ship aircraft could defend against a massive multi-prongned WW2 German bomber raid, coming from multiple directions. Would it be 1950's with the F86/F102/A4 skyhawk maybe/F11/F9F/F104/MiG-17/MiG-19/MiG-21/F84 1960's with more reliance on missiles ie starfighter/F5/Mirage 3/Lightning/F4/Draken/Viggen Or maybe 1970's Harrier/F15/Mirage 2000/F14/F16/ Obviously shortlist aircraft you think will be best. Rules, Scramble for intercept, destroy all or as many bombers inbound (No escorts but they fire back), no refueling or rearming fight till everyone is winchester, pause server. Score it up, try next aircraft and so on. Obstructions: each bomber wave is coming from vastly different directions testing aircrafts speed and efficiency, as well as pilots grasp to balance all these as well as the mission at hand. Respawn on takeoff errors or usual stuff, if you are shot down or Fox4 you gain 1 point for your aircraft plus 1 if you take out enemy. Clock stops when all fighters are winchester, however many bombers remain is the score If the bombers make it to London city and drop ordanance you gain 2 points per bomber that drops. (remember lower is better) Which fighter performs best? and this could be funny af
I met a guy once who flew the F 106 and was trained for the Genie. IIRC the launching profile was more complex than I would have thought . Again, going from memory, the idea was to start a loop and launch as you were pitching up. Then, you would have your tail pointed to the detonation so that the A/C would absorb a lot of the radiation. Then dive to get speed to separate from the blast effects.
