Recreating the USS Iowa battle from the Tom Clancy World War 3 novel from 1986; using various mods from Arma3. Recorded using AMD Radeon Relive on a Vega Frontier GPU.
Korean War. Wisconsin was hit by a round from a 76mm NK army artillery battery. No damage or casualties. Wisconsin returned fire with a 9 gun 16 inch salvo that utterly demolished the NK Arty outfit. Witnessing this, a passing US destroyer sent a blinker signal to Wisconsin "Temper Temper..."
Love this book….the false flag bombing at the Kremlin, the Soviet paratroopers landing by barge in Iceland…the destruction of the Russian bridges….the key battle of Alfeld…the naval battle in the North Atlantic…the sub attack on the Soviet backfire bases…the locating and destruction of the Soviet fuel depot…and more..it’s all there,in a rapid pulse racing,high speed, and brutality visceral account….Tom Clancy at his techno/political best…
My only complaint was that Tom misplaced one of the German Cities and failed to utilize the roads that were prepared to troop movements. But i also realized that while I was living in country the author also had to take care not to publish material that might be considered Sensitive Wartime Information. Just because the locals are aware of things does not mean that causing widespread dissemination would not cause the author problems.
@@ktcd1172 I was stationed at Bitburg AFB 36th Security Police squadron and the book grabbed me immediately a number of places I knew firsthand as I liked to hike on my 3days off…
@@ktcd1172 P.S. kinda like to have seen it on the big screen as opposed to “Sum of All Fears” which was so totally different from the book that it was (in my opinion)unrecognizable…. But I could say that about “A Clear And Present Danger” and “Patriot Games”…..my favorite besides Red Storm was “Cardinal of the Kremlin”
RSR is what inspired me as a high school kid to join the USAF. The chapters about the meteorological officer stranded in occupied Iceland made my 18 year old self pumped lol. How he provided crucial intel; how he saved the Icelandic chick AND got to bang her lmfao... to a kid that was awesome. Except life doesn't always go the way you like and I ended up a Human Resources Specialist in the Army. Life is funny.
@@justasimpleguy7211 and battleships are armored to go toe to toe with other battleships, it is practically impossible for them to sink a battleship with the artillery they had.
@@justasimpleguy7211 Repeat after me. it... is... still... A... very... bad... idea can you not use the limited amount of grey matter located in your cranium to realize that the whole point of the parent comment was to make fun of them for doing it and point out it was a bad idea.
@@8vantor8 Here's what my gray matter tells me. The author wanted the engagement regardless whether it made sense, so it's beyond pointless to mock the fictional Russian artillerymen or their chain of command who had no choice except to act as the author wrote the lines of that chapter. LOL!
When New Jersey was bombarding Lebanon, a jail guard told a journalist prisoner, New Jersey no good. The reporter wondered why this guy hated New Jersey lol. The reporter didn’t know about the battleship.
Iowa reaches out 23 miles with 2000 lb warheads. Not to mention ship launched cruise missiles. The moment the russians fired their artillery the guns would have been moved. Would have been better to have used submarine launched cruise missiles carrying cluster munition to kill the "soft" targets.
What a fight this would be for real...the Iraqis tried it and lost but maybe the better trained/equipped Russians could have gotten in a few hits b4 being destroyed
