Red Storm Rising: Chapter 31 DEMONS 

I feel like it would be a great 10 part HBO series.

@@BobChanel Yes, I've been saying this for years. Stephen Coonts Final Flight would make an epic movie on the other hand...

this book would be great on the big screen or at least as a great streaming series. Important: as near to the book as possible, not softened or changed too much. It is one of Tom Clancy and Larry Bonds best cooperation! Cheers, Pepe

Given how much pure exposition is in the book, making a movie of it would be a challenge.

@@BobChanel Hey was it copyright that made you unlist all the videos? :(

The B-52 Crews had their dead friends in mind from the earlier disastrous raid on Iceland

Agreed

Word. I generally dont like DCS cinematics at all, but this is really good/well done

Ordinarily I don’t either. But stumbling across these, I’ve been hooked. I absolutely LOVE Tom Clancy, and this work seems perfectly paired with the book. I’m all in for all of this that he can do!

The vampire chapter straight-up gave me chills and took me back 30 years!

DCS Cinematics are fine. It's the amatuers making them that are hit or miss. These Red Storm Rising videos are the proof. Check this one out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IlvTL3JlLYI.html

Bro... yep. 8 years older than you but yep

I was reading the book while chasing, and being chased by, Russian ships in the Baltic and North Sea while on NATO deployment 🤣

I read it in college in the 80's.The whole time I was reading it I wondered if the balloon was going to go up and I would be drafted and sent to Europe but after reading it I realized that there would be no time to draft a bunch of people and train them up to go before a conflict like this went nuclear. So all was good I guess

Great book

40 now. My dad read the start to me when I was about 8, and I read the rest. I've read it several times. Must dig it out again.

Yeah like roll the dice and have an observer present for game. My kind of D&D!

The game was called "Harpoon."

@@RobFieldFlorida I spent many happy hours playing Harpoon. Great game!

Team Yankee is an excellent pseudo-expansion of RSR. It follows a company commander of an armored company during an invasion of Western Germany by the Soviets in 1985. Like a Clancy book, without the overall strategic view.

"Cauldron" by Larry Bond is a great read as well in this genre.

​​@@xWarmongarx "Team Yankee" was based on "The Third World War: August 1985" by General Sir John Hackett, published in 1978. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Tom Clancy had read it.

It's at 8:25

@@complexblackness I wonder how many pilots had a spectacular kill and couldn't wait to report it back at base but then were themselves killed by falling debris. I wonder if there are any aces that died with no one to tell the tale

@decimated550 I'm sure there were many who got their 5th kill but were killed immediately after.

so i guess there's no videos for the non-combat portions of RSR?

@@Defender78 I don't think so.

I was just thinking RSR would make a great Amazon Prime project, complementing the other Clancy stories they've done recently.

It could be a good series since there is a lot of content

There's a pretty good list of directors who could give us a good adaptation. Obviously some changes would need to be made since Clancy books are difficult to translate on the big screen. A lot of characters have internal monologues. It would definitely need to be a miniseries. I don't the crew responsible for the disaster that is Without Remorse should be allowed anywhere near the project. But, we all know that the current Hollywood culture won't allow a faithful adaptation. I pirate everything now. I refuse to pay for anything coming out of the entertainment industries these days. Games, books, movies, fuck 'em all. I'll stop pirating when entertainers stop playing identity politics.

@@michaelpfister1283 Amazon would destroy it. Literally. They would rewrite it so that the US started it (as its racist to bad mouth Islamic extremists), and NATO would lose to the great people's experiment.

@@michaelpfister1283 They will make it woke just like the other trash. TC rolling in his grave.

"Chapter 39 Shores Of Stykkisholmur" is on my list of to-do's for sure!

How about the nap-of-the-earth raid on the Soviet 'Mainstay' AWACs with the "F-19" Frisbee? I thought that was the highlight of the book. That, and some of the extremely tense submarine ops, with Chicago infiltrating a boomer pen, and raiding beneath the icepack..Oh, and that bit when the F-111s come screaming down a river valley to knock out a bridge, one gets 'cartwheeled' by a SAM....I'm sure I'll remember others..

@@n.w.1803 I'm trying to do the highlights that I currently have assets to within the sim. I think I've found a suitable substitute for the F-19's and am working on something to work in place of the F-111's. I do have a life outside of this so when I get time ill kick out what I can do.

@@BobChanel Oh? BTW I really admire the sense of scale your animations lend to the scene. And with the 'Vampire' attack on the carrier group in particular.

@@BobChanel if you can, could you also list the music used? its absolutly phenomenal.

Ive gotten a few suggestions form other books ill have to look into. And with that I would have to freshen up on my .lua scripting.😆Not outside the realm of possibilities.

Still my favorite book to this day. I actually emailed Barrett Tillman, asking him if he plans to write another novel, similar now China are building multiple carriers

Can we give the -117s some afterburners..?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-otTDZDfB6pk.html Baby steps man..

Its slow progress but I'm working on a substitute for the aardvarks.. but its baby steps.

@@BobChanel this is amazing to hear.

I’ll do what I can when I get time 🤣

A movie can't be made the actual reality is far from the book the Russian military and tech equipment was far over exaggerated
