Next Sim, please send a flight of 10 B-52s to carpet bomb the fleet!
-
What the in-game AI can't simulate is the sheer awe and terror a pilot from 1941 would feel at seeing what looks like a spaceship from an afternoon sci-fi serial, moving at impossible speed, attacking your fleet from what to you is an impossible distance. Plus it's carrying the markings of your enemy.
-
Even more scary is the F15 was flying 30 years post WWII and here we are 50 years since the Eagle first flew…
-
Dropping flares against bullets. Brilliant.
-
When he said “we got hit.” I heard the line from “The Final Countdown” “Why are we playing with these guys?”. I love that movie.
-
To the Japanese fleet, it would have seemed an alien craft appeared, destroyed their carriers, and flew away straight up into the sky -
-
There's two scenarios to consider here. If the F-15 would have discovered the Japanese carriers prior to them launching their aircraft it could have easily sank all of them using precision guided munitions. In air to air combat the F-15 would have run out of ordinance well before it ran out of targets.
-
In reality, once the protective nose cone was compromised, your radar would fail from the brute force of air pressure.
-
Top work, Gents. Cap, you guys put so much work into these scenarios, and it really shows!
-
The F-15 was designed with the philosophy "Not a pound for air-to-ground." Only decades later did the Air Force admit that with a few changes it would make a top notch medium bomber, and that's what they did with the F-15E. More recently they've developed the F-15EX to turn it into a "bomb truck" or "missile truck" able to rain destruction on air and land.
-
Another thing you could have tried to do was dive and drag them to lower altitudes so they had to take their time to climb again.
-
If you damage the carriers, ALL the japanese planes would then become kamikaze planes.
-
I saw the movie "Final Countdown" in the early '80s, which was a great time travel flick. This simulation made up for what they didn't show in the movie.
-
Thank you Cap and the Reapers! Always a pleasure to work with you and the team, I need to go start reading F-15E checklists and do some familiarization in the Strike Eagle - cheers!
-
Very reminiscent of The Final Countdown (1980) where a supercarrier travels back in time to the Pearl Harbor attack. Although in the movie they never touched the Japanese fleet.
-
The brief historical overview of the F-15 made this video so much better!
-
Amazing video, never played a flight sim, but this managed to be engaging and tense.
-
That intro sounds like a commercial for Americans who wants to have thier own Amazon delivered F-15Es for home defense 😂
-
One correction. The Japanese force (KIDO BUTAI) was not split into multiple task forces. All 6 carriers (Carrier Divisions 1, 2, and 5) and their supporting ships were in a single formation. That is what gave KIDO BUTAI the ability to mass, what was for 1941, an unprecedented number of aircraft in a single group. What was split was the two waves of aircraft, but that was a function of time between each wave, not a split force.

Thank you for putting this all togethe
