Keep the double 5" turrets but maybe Replace one or two with sea ram launchers . Find a way to fit harpoon missile launchers possibly the size of Arleigh Burke if not double. Take the double smoke funal to one if possible to free up room for box launchers as well as a mid ships behind turrets 3 hella pad and bay for two bird. Replace all fixed wing aircraft with multiple drones. If possible get its speed up to 35 knots

I can appreciate the effort, but the main thing to remember is that DCS weapons are not known for their realistic effects. Also, the latest US weaponry capability is still classified in regards to what upgrades have been done. AND the game's hit-boxes are not the greatest. A HARM can take out the radar on a missile frigate and thereby make it pretty much useless against air threats, something DCS fails to allow. In any major conflict against Iran's navy the US might take some losses, but there would be no Iranian navy afterwards.

I don't think they even take losses, the US navy isn't going to even be in range lol the F-35 is basically invisible to everyone but China so they would just fly a couple sorties and launch cruise missiles from hundreds of miles away and call it a day.

Hey Cap, thanks for the entertainment as always. Just a quick note from the briefing, and I never mentioned this before, but I'm pretty sure the F-35 will be limited to 2x LRASM. However, with the 1,000 F-35 just off the line (global militiaries), that just means the USAF would effectively double the jets versus the amount in your videos carrying four. Perhaps worth a comment during the brief for realism sake, but I don't think it's worth additional work on your end. Thanks!

Yes they could, America can always do that. That's exactly why Iran switched to investing in ground based missiles and drone so their enemy will visit them inside their small strait, then turn it into hellish chaos that blocks sea commerce of persian gulf, increasing fuel price even more and indirectly choke their enemy economy without one step away from their homeland. A massive navy still sails with fuel and funds. You can't slap reactor in every ship.

with those small patrol boats so closely packed together. wonder if dropping multiple CBU's dropped from FL200 will potentially kill multiple boats with several bomblets.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't the Arleigh Burkes engage with 5" guns after firing missiles and going after the remaining targets? Granted they would have to move at flank speed to get into range, but I hope the AI does this.
