In reality, a C130 DID land on USS Forrestal in 1963, and take off again several times with varying weight loads.

@@grimreaperswell done! I saw the Forrestal video. Since the C130 is good to fly, perhaps we might have an MC-130J sim of a special forces insertion or evacuation - somewhere hilly? It will need a few escorts too. I’d love to see it put through its paces. It would make an interesting asymmetric sim where the red team don’t know what’s coming (to start with anyway).

Possible the simulated screen in DCS looks better than a real one would?

Community: "Hey ED, can you please fix bugs, enhance current features such as radio? And maybe start centralizing the game to be more cohesive?" ED: "Here is an obscure aircraft carrier from a country that does everything it can to be a failed state despite having all the building blocks to be a super power. It is up to you if I am talking about the UK or Argentina."

It'd be nice if they did, but honestly this game is a marvel of programming. Even extremely high budget, modern AAA games don't have anywhere near the complexity or depth of DCS.

it's a question of competition. And there is absolutely nothing even remotely comparable to DCS. So even with these problems that some people might have, they don't really have to. And there is also the real world edge. How modern are they allowed to make features in the game? As long as pay DLC coexist with free mods, i have no big issue with it. Also it gives a reason to FINALLY have another landing skill competition. I feel silly and fun has taken a big step back from real-ish wargames recently on GR. Not complaining too hard, i'm aware of the (baby) elephant in the room.

It's a part of the RAZBAM South Atlantic Assets Pack, so...ED didn't make it, had almost noting to do with making it, put no resources into making it, so were not diverted from their program by anyting to do with it. If you have issues with the pace ED add things to the game, direct it their way, not at a 3rd party dev. And educate yourself on the subject before you go on a rant.

the nice part of the hud repeater camera is that the velocity vector displays as low as 10 degrees below level. On the actually hud that is too low and you get the blinking. ;)

“Fancy lifeboats for officers with cheese and port” LOL. More boats to ferry crew to shore I should have thought, not too good in a rough sea… Thanks guys, another amusing adventure.

My father and uncle served on that ship when it was "de Karel Doorman R81" for the Dutch navy in the early 60's.

I think two things happened with that carrier, one, when their part of the pincer attack involving the Belgrano came up, the catapults on the carrier jammed, and two, there wasn't enough wind for the attack aircraft to take off. Belgrano got sunk, and this carrier buggered off back to Argentina to play no further part in the war. I wouldn't mind you guys doing a battle with the two british carriers of that time and the Argentinian Carrier.

LOL, the size difference is so hilarious. Thanks for the excellent content, as usual, you guys rock!

the small boats are for ports where the carrier can't dock. alongside the USN carriers used to have them up till the early 2000's. early examples can be seen in the classic ww2 movie Tora Tora Tora during the Pearl harbour attack sequence

You are correct, those white barrels are life rafts that when they hit the water auto deploy and Inflate. The boats are for the senior officers

15:25 Carriers can turn, so the wind is *ALWAYS* off the bow for air ops. I served on a carrier in Vietnam, and there was never more than a 5 knot crosswind vector.

Bent front gear from the backseat..... BRAVO.. Simba.

I surprised you didn’t know about the HUD camera view - in just about every trainee airforce video you can see the instructor judging the students guns kill via this display. Although most dedicated trainer aircraft have a dedicated upfront display specifically as a HUD repeater.

I would love to see GR crew recreate some of the Blue Angels manoeuvres initially was thinking of the diamond 6 landing but there so many more u lads could do.

26:24 popping the shoot? Ingenious

Talking of "exhibition landing ", and with RIAT looming - are we likely to see a GR Airshow again? I enjoyed the last one I 'attended'

I love these kinds of videos, I tend to laugh way too much, thanks you'll. . . 👍

Funny how you completely blacked out due to the force of the cables catching you on that landing. Then again, seeing how you weren't supposed to land on THAT type of carrier at all, actually surprised that the cables didn't snap and send you into the ocean.

Big smiles! Thanks GR :)

My dad was one the USS Midway was ~twice the displacement as the Colossus class. Seeing the Midway next to a Nimtz Class was hilarious as it was that much smaller. The length, an the height difference really made the Nimitz that much bigger

Damn, with that little video screen, it's like flying the old F15 Strike Eagle.

The fact that Violet got an A-10 to land on a small carrier is impressive to me idk about you people.

"Grim Reapers, best reapers" Carrier not adding it's 30kts?

Oh Lord, first thing done with a new vessel acquisition, is to invite a no holds-barred landing skill contest. A Nation's military budget quivers when GR Ops commence...

@grimreapers - yayy - As the Catapult works on this baby - how about doing it again with Naval planes with parking on deck refuel re-arm, lots of planes on deck at once (what could go wrong) - maybe some Red de Mayo V Blue de Mayo - (Hare)Poons at dawn action

The F-15 hook is indeed more robust... the F-15 hook can be raised and lowered hydraulically where the F-16 hook is basically a hook on the end of a leaf spring.

Probably because, it has a larger displacement and has more below deck space. 17:25

Grab an NF-104, climb high, then put your nose towards the carrier, hit your rocket booster and dive stright into the carrier.

Did you try cross-controlling? Bank into the wind to counteract the crosswind but apply opposite rudder to keep the nose lined up. You'd then level off at the last second.

Cap actually made a landing with his canopy on....lol

She was also for a time a Dutch navy ship the "Karel Doorman"

Hi, you should try some of the older Microsoft DOS and retro console flight sims and games, there are like a million of them and they are all so different!

Life rafts for all crew. Other boats are not really life boats but can be used to tow daisy chain life rafts but unlikely they would deploy those boats in a hurry...

I kinda sometimes appreciated this.

When I was ships company on the Theodore Roosevelt we had 4 Officers boats and four 100 man skiffs. The ship was too large for civilian ports so we would anchor off shore and take the boats back and forth. One of the 4 Officer boats was just for the Captains use and the other three were for the rest of the officers. As enlisted, we would go to the fantail and board the whale boat skiffs. They were like a taxi the whole time we were in port running from the ship to fleet landing 24 hours a day. That's all they were used for. The white barrels on the exterior were the life rafts. We also had several smaller skiffs that were on davits (they look like arms reaching out from the side) that can raise/lower the boat into the water. Those were for man overboard recovery and other general purpose jobs that required a boat. The officers boats were stowed on top of the enlisted boats on a special rack and kept in the hangar bays

In 1963, just to prove that we could, the US landed a KC-130F on the USS Forestal.

The problem that he's having with the viper is that the hook only traps when you're at low or idle throttle, so you have to come in very accurately and then cut power when you touch down to trap.

When your carrier deck is as long as the landing trap of a supercarrier:

Hey there Grim reapers, what about a naval battle between the Vienticinco de Mayo and HMAS Melbourne II?

My other choice would be the A-10 as its speed is similar to the WWII aircraft it was intended to use

Since the Northrup F-5 was originally designed for ise on an escourt carrier, That is the fighter I woud chose

Maybe to counter the few people everybody could do 2 planes per round and (dis-)qualifying like 2 different people. You know, like Jessie Owens competing in multiple olympic sports.... Or MArie Curie getting 2 different Nobel Prices. whatever one thinks about this thing, it gives a reason to finally have another landing skill competition. I feel silly and fun have taken a step back from realistic-ish wargames recently on GR. Not complaining too hard, i'm aware of the (baby) elephant in the room. Still nice.

Or what about a battle between HMAS Melbourne and HMS Eagle in 1975 (assuming the Pommies will do anything to try and retake the Ashes)!!!!!!

I have an idea for a challenge. A carrier landing challenge but the carrier is red and the planes are blue and the carrier has its weapons enabled

The carrier should move against the wind (if able) and give some extra help with the landing speed

Disappointed that no one attempted C5 absurdity 😂
