Just a reminder that this is not 100% done yet. They plan to clean up the encyclopedia a bit and organize it a bit differently. With that said, I hope this gives you a good starting point so you can think on scenarios you may want to create in the editor. store.steampowered.com/app/1286220/Sea_Power__Naval_Combat_in_the_Missile_Age/
Just an awesome collection of platforms. All very well done in terms of detail. Two niggling issues; 1. Glad to hear that they're not done formatting the Encyclopedia as I would like to see consistency with actual USSR designations AND NATO code names across ALL USSR platforms. 2. The metal skin panel lines are a bit over done and need to be toned down (see the airliner at the 1:00 mark). But that's IT. Otherwise; superb job!
I do remember reading somewhere they're going to add the Britisch, not sure when though. Wouldn't even be mad if they were added at a later date as a DLC, they can milk this game with DLC nation packs a much as they want for all i'm concerned. Been waiting for a game like this for a very long time;)
They confirmed the Royal Navy is coming. The only reason they didn’t have them at launch is because they just didn’t have the resources to do them justice and get the game out in a timely manner.
Especially for the paper designs - it’s incredibly impressive that they could create such accurate models for the Soviet fleet air arm and aircraft carriers from limited information
@@AUsernameWeShallMarchToKiev yeah the detail of the old construction of aircraft on those airliners is what I noticed first. All the different panel lines and such. Even if its a flat color it adds depth to the models!
With this already impressive lineup and scale of this game, I honestly can’t wait what the modding community will do with this. They already did wonders with Cold Waters despite that game being sub only. I bet in 1 or 1,5 years, you’ll be able to download entire 3rd party navies into this game.
The models and detail are excellent. Please push for multiplayer. It would boost sales greatly. I know of many who are passing this title up because it has no coop or MP.
I love the Norway representation... if a conflict ever broke out in the north Atlantic Norway is a frontline navy and should be represented to a good extent... props Microprose
This game needs to come up right now. I was a Electronic Warfare Technician SLQ-32(V)3 1987-1993. All my ships I was stationed on or steamed with are in the encyclopedia. Gracia class FF, USS Iowa, Spruance DD, Belknap CG and Tico CG which had the old missle rails. I was on the USS Antietam which had VLS. I was surprised they didn't have the SH-60 Seahawk. Thanks for showing this.
I'm not sure the Seahawk was introduced during the time frame this game takes place in; it's mostly the '60s through early '80s, and everything i can find about the Seahawk shows an introduction in the mid-late '80s to replace the Seasprite in the LAMPS role.
I agree, this game cannot come any sooner. I'm an Electrician's mate board the Eisenhower and I cannot wait to use it in this game. What I'm upset with this video is that he totally skipped over the Nimitz class carrier man.
Same, that, and the Canadians. Surprised neither the RN nor the RCN feature in the game beyond the brits having the battle-class. Was really hoping we'd at least get the CP-107 Argus for maritime patrol aircraft.
I would be surprised if they don't add lots of new units, missions, and campaigns. When Cold Waters came out you could basically used like 6 or 7 USN boats and there were basically 2 campaigns and like 8 missions. It wasn't that long before they expanded all that to like 25 missions, like 10 or 12 different campaign scenarios, and they added in like probably close to 100 playable subs from the US, USSR, China, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Australia.
Wow... I was surprised when I saw this. I thought "MiG 28" hell, there really is a MiG that looks like the F-5, never knew that. Just to find out right now that it indeed is an F-5, and the MiG 28 is fictional :D
I think the thing that impressed me most, is that most of the models and textures are really well done for a game of this scale. I was honestly not expecting some of the models to look as good as they do, especially this early in development. I'd be curious if they're using their own models, or outsourcing them, or using some sort of licensed models.
We build the models ourselves, all 2 of us :) Of course we're leveraging our earlier work done with Cold Waters + SCS but all older models had to be reworked significantly and updated to brand new codebase (ie. animations, new systems, weapons, mapping, new materials shaders workflow/textures etc) and had to have some corners here and there rounded, so to say. That said some CW models had to be rebuild almost from scratch.
I’m impressed they went the extra mile to model different types of freighters. They could have fairly easily just made a generic freighter ship and left it at that. I’m certainly not complaining about the fact they didn’t.
One oversight/opportunity I'm seeing here is that there's a lack of units to represent a falklands war scenario well. I hope that gets added in the future.
The devs have expressed their intent to make a DLC or update adding units of both British and other nationalities from both sides, unfortunately they weren't able to include everything at launch due to their limited manpower and massive workload
The CH-46E has a number of liveries attached to it, and the on that you showcased is pretty special, both to history and me personally. Historically: The last American Helicopter to evacuate the American Embassy in Saigon was attached to HMM-165. That aircraft (154803) was in service until 2004 and now resides at a museum in California. On a more personal note: My grandfather was with the USMC for 18 years, and spent many attached to HMM-165! It's super neat to see it depicted in-game.
Hopefully there’ll be DLC of the Argentinian, Australian, British, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Pakistani, Indian, Japanese, Korean (North & South), Taiwanese & PLA navies!
Even if there’s not, look at what modders were able to do with Fleet Command and Cold Waters. The modding architecture for Cold Waters has been well established, with heaps of experienced coders/artists/designers. With Sea Power running on the same engine, I reckon we’ll have some decent mods for additional factions within 6 months from release
@@nickryan4975the ship modeling from war on the sea alone was also insane. There are some really talented modders active right now and I’m super excited to see what they add to this game
Flanker is unlikely, it was introduced just the same year when the games campaign happens (1985) and was used as an air defense fighter at first quite far away from the theater I think F/A-18A was mentioned by devs coming later post-release
The MiG-29K and the Su-33 (the naval variant of each respective aircraft) was introduced too late in the game's campaign to be added. We might get the MiG-29 and the F-16 since they were introduced before 1985. I asked the devs about the Su-27 and they just replied with no. I'm just gonna wait for Mods that add the Flanker instead.
@@aghressor Imagine Su-33 and MiG-29K on Orel instead of Kuznetsov, they would look beautiful And Orel being a CATOBAR ship, Su-33 could actually take off with full payload
well that's very easy to add via ini files as ship variants -proper country, flag, pennant number (requires proper texture) and corresponding display name in ships names file
Should be super easy, the devs are from a modding community and seem to want to make this game easy to mod. A simple texture swap should be super simple.
@@MrFusselig Yeah it's actually a hassle. I know Nils had that in for Cold Waters as well already. There are quite some names / trademarks we may not use. German here too btw! ;) Good night and gute Nacht.
Game looks really promissiong. I really like that they didn't just add a dozend or so units and called it a day, like a lot of other naval games, but actually went the lengths to create a diverse envoirement with lots of units.
I would love to see when certain units entered IOC and when they were retired, would make creating period accurate missions a lot easier. Would also be cool to see different ships across their individual modernizations
Surprised the Enterprise wasn't in there, wouldn't / shouldn't have been in with the Nimitz class either as it was it's own class. Served on her as an Electronic Warfare Technician from 03-06. It'll be really fun making nightmare situations involving SS-N-22's that thankfully never came about in real life.
@@TheCobra114-o5e Problem is she sank off the grand banks. Same reason why it's not the Thresher class but rather the Permit class. Apparently several politicians' sons were aboard too.
I look forward to seeing British stuff added in future, either as mods or full content. I can easily see them adding stuff which is more like reskins, for example take the SA-5 Gammon site from the very end of this vid and just change the missiles to Bloodhounds and there you have a Bloodhound Battery
Thats a really good effort from the creators. Plenty of different units of all types. The research of all those must have been a very long winded job! I hope to see the Typhoon Ballistic missile submarine there in the future. I for one can't wait for this to be released! Its got that cold waters feel to it but with everything else going on as well.
I would certainly enjoy any sci fi mods for this game when it is eventually finished. Seriously, imagine flying mechs, airships with lasers, and wheeled vehicles designed to fart out torpedoes from the bottom of the sea. That would be so cool.
Interesting how many Soviet paper planes and the Orel-class was included but no Yak-36, Yak-141, or the Ulyanovsk class. More Soviet flying boats would be cool as well. The good thing is this game can be expanded vastly in the future to include other factions for different conflicts.
isnt the yak 141 much too modern? in wt, it has a super modern radar, and in real life, if it was actually put into service, it wouldve had r77s and r73s
The fact that they got Orel is a miracle in its own right, and literally only there so that the Soviet’s don’t get curb stomped for not having air power,also so that Soviet’s get naval air power
You know tossing missles at other ships on the high seas is cool and all but I'm so stoked that you can attack positions on land. That was something I always wanted in War On The Sea. Don't get me wrong I love WOTS but that would of made it much more fun.
I really hope they include Royal Canadian Navy in the future. Iroquois & Halifax Class!! And if Royal Navy has Type 22 Frigates and Type 42 Destroyers. Everyone on The Mighty Jingles is begging him to recreate his Gulf War action
2 modded in aircraft I will mention is the F-14B (Wide variety of A To G loads while still able to defend itself) And the F-15N phoenix With 2 54s 4 7s and 2 sidewinders or 4 harpoons and I think either 4 sparrows or 4 winders So if anyone wants there navy craft to be more versatile here ya go
Nice! Needs more Enterprise and Long Beach :D No California, Bainbridge and Truxton? Could also add Bronsteins and Claud Jones class to fill out the low level frigates for convoy escort missions Typhoon seems a large oversight, everyone is going to want to make a Hunt for Red October scenario Also Juliette class SSG would be cool, an Echo but quieter!
A little trivia I was stationed on LPH2, There was an LPH1 at one time. However, it was so top-heavy that it rolled over and sank, and so was stricken. Also, Jay North, who played Dennis The Menace, was a sailor onboard.
The list is already impressive, especially when factoring in the animating of each individual unit. It'll be interesting to see what units the devs add in early access, there's plenty of room for more... a good example would be that right now the red side has no IFV or APC. Then again, the fact that there are quite a few land-based assets and armor/artillery units at all is really good to see... come a long way from the TLAM missions of Cold Waters.
For those confused about the Mig-28 - it was a Northrop T-38 Talon dressed up to look like a Soviet fighter and flone as the protagonist in the 1986 movie Top Gun. This was before the era of photo realistic CGI and before Constant Peg was declassified.
First time watcher, loving your content so far! Something I'd like to see going forward, maybe try a compressor on your voiceover audio? It'll help level things out 👍🏼
The breadth of assets is impressive. I'd love to see air refueling (KC-135/KC-10), tactical airdrop (C-130/C-141/C-17/C-5/MC-130), and Reconnaissance (RF-4/UAV/RC-135/U-2/SR-71) included.
You only spent a few seconds on each model and the video still took nearly forty minutes. Crazy to think there's still so much more they'll add even after all that.
We got Iowas and Kirovs! Not everyday for a modern naval war game to have an actual battleship from WW2 to make a comeback to fight in a modern war. Going to be interesting to see how they will fare in an era of anti ship missiles.
Really hoping to see the Ticos with VLS- Bunker Hill was comissioned into service in '86 so it's really well within the scope of the game's current time period (which seems to be largely mid 80s focused) to put it in game. It does seem like the devs seem quite 'balance' minded however given the Soviets have a fictional carrier and they're hessitant to introduce VLS, though perhaps that's just my read on it
That Il-62 at 1:33 made me chuckle so hard :-D It says 'Bohemske aerolinie' which in Czech means what bohemian means in 'bohemian lifestyle'. It should say 'Ceskoslovenske aerolinie'. I hope they'll keep it this way though, this is way more cooler. Unlike actual CSA, I'd like to book a flight with 'Bohemske aerolinie' :-D
This is such a nitpick, but the way they can't seem to choose between NATO designations and Soviet designations for the Soviet weapons is somewhat annoying imo
I hope possibly that some more Royal Navy ships and assets come around as the era of the game the uk used many aircraft and ship so be a nice addition.
I'm not kidding when i'm saying that this game sits over a vein of gold. They can add a French DLC,an Italian DLC,a British DLC,a Chinese DLC,a Japanese DLC and updates with 90s armament,and this is basically scraping the surface
IIRC it ends in January 1980 or so, at least until someone mods it. So none of these exist yet (first Ohio and first Typhoon are under construction but not yet completed).
Oscars IIs akulas and virginiasare too late for this game. Boomer subs have no gameplay relevance. Dev team is focused on adding ships that are relevant.
I miss some units from Cold Waters, but the new stuff here goes way beyond that small loss. That is way more than I expected from an early release, particularly the small ships and auxiliaries that add depth to the strategic aspect of it all
When an FFG is underway the four HF Whip Antenna's are lowered into the horizontal position for the Mk75 Gun Mount not to hit them with projectiles. They are raised when Flying Stations are in force.
This game Seapower reminds me of the naval game I played back in the day called Harpoon, but the name reminds me of Seapower II which was a naval miniatures game we played with Alnavco miniatures. Looking forward to seeing this game.
Huge praise to the designers for such an extensive and beautifully modeled list. Love to see the Moskva and Su-15, two of my favorite pieces of Soviet kit. Only thing I'd like to see (other than royal navy expansion) might be a few more French aircraft, and the Tu-22 non M version, both for middle-east scenarios. Maybe my USN nuclear cruisers...

Seriously, imagine flying mechs, airships with lasers, and wheeled vehicles designed to fart out torpedoes from the bottom of the sea. That would be so cool.
1:15
I love that there's an Oceanic Airlines livery! Hollywood's no.1 go-to airline for hijacking and crashing... without getting sued, lol.
Please keep covering this game, it looks so good and your style of videos blend so well with it
Thanks will try!
A fun video, thanks for posting all the units. Loved the "Crimson Tide" music in there too. ;)
Interesting how many Soviet paper planes and the Orel-class was included but no Yak-36, Yak-141, or the Ulyanovsk class. More Soviet flying boats would be cool as well.
The good thing is this game can be expanded vastly in the future to include other factions for different conflicts.
Also noted that the Soviets got a lot of designs that were never produced :P
I guess they are needed to have interesting fleet on fleet scenarios
iirc the timeline for this is early 80s so the later yaks and Ulyanovsk are more out of the timeframe then the orel.
Probably trying to create a situation of parity for battles between the US and USSR
isnt the yak 141 much too modern? in wt, it has a super modern radar, and in real life, if it was actually put into service, it wouldve had r77s and r73s
The fact that they got Orel is a miracle in its own right, and literally only there so that the Soviet’s don’t get curb stomped for not having air power,also so that Soviet’s get naval air power
You know tossing missles at other ships on the high seas is cool and all but I'm so stoked that you can attack positions on land. That was something I always wanted in War On The Sea. Don't get me wrong I love WOTS but that would of made it much more fun.
ah kara class,i have love-hate relationship with that bastard in cold water
those SS-N-14 is terrifying ,not to mention the 2 RBUs 6000 at the front
Looks promising, I still play the old Jane's Fleet Command from the late 1990's, and has been waiting for a worthy successor ever since 😊❤
1:09 I was already gonna get it, don't need to hard sell it even more, geez
Thank you very much for this overview!
I really hope they include Royal Canadian Navy in the future. Iroquois & Halifax Class!!
And if Royal Navy has Type 22 Frigates and Type 42 Destroyers. Everyone on The Mighty Jingles is begging him to recreate his Gulf War action
2 modded in aircraft I will mention is the F-14B
(Wide variety of A To G loads while still able to defend itself)
And the F-15N phoenix With 2 54s 4 7s and 2 sidewinders or 4 harpoons and I think either 4 sparrows or 4 winders
So if anyone wants there navy craft to be more versatile here ya go
Nice!
Needs more Enterprise and Long Beach :D
No California, Bainbridge and Truxton?
Could also add Bronsteins and Claud Jones class to fill out the low level frigates for convoy escort missions
Typhoon seems a large oversight, everyone is going to want to make a Hunt for Red October scenario
Also Juliette class SSG would be cool, an Echo but quieter!
Oh boy, what a hidden gem... It's literally Jane's Fleet Command reincarnated. Thank for the video, m8
A little trivia I was stationed on LPH2, There was an LPH1 at one time. However, it was so top-heavy that it rolled over and sank, and so was stricken. Also, Jay North, who played Dennis The Menace, was a sailor onboard.
Really, really looking forward to this one. It’s been on my Steam wish list for 4 years 😊
Oceanic Airlines truly an impeccable safety record… :3
This is INSANE!
Cannot believe we are almost there.
The list is already impressive, especially when factoring in the animating of each individual unit. It'll be interesting to see what units the devs add in early access, there's plenty of room for more... a good example would be that right now the red side has no IFV or APC. Then again, the fact that there are quite a few land-based assets and armor/artillery units at all is really good to see... come a long way from the TLAM missions of Cold Waters.
I can't wait! I normally wait until a steam sale to buy a game but I am such a fan of Cold Waters I might break with tradition. And a scenario editor!
Kinda miss the Grumman Tracker and the Lockheed Neptune, but i understand you cannot have everything on launch 💪
For those confused about the Mig-28 - it was a Northrop T-38 Talon dressed up to look like a Soviet fighter and flone as the protagonist in the 1986 movie Top Gun. This was before the era of photo realistic CGI and before Constant Peg was declassified.
The ability to give commands to the vehicles in the encyclopedia is a fun little touch.
29:30 The Kirov is such an utterly ridiculous ship. So much dakka, a missile battleship. In real-life its just so stupid, I love it.
First time watcher, loving your content so far! Something I'd like to see going forward, maybe try a compressor on your voiceover audio? It'll help level things out 👍🏼
Kidd class. Nice. My old ride was DDG-994, USS Callaghan. Nice to see the ship class I served on represented.
Awesome video, thanks for showcasing the Encylcopedia!
Haha Mig-28, I love it! I hope it has a full-black paint skin!
Man, i know better than to get this excited for a game, but here we are. Thanks for the coverage of this, Enigma.
Seebee Ship spotted, Doctor Lykes is on it's way to island!
The Tomcat flying with its Spoilerons both deflected upwards made me giggle. Probably a commentary on the state of the Iranian F-14s
The breadth of assets is impressive. I'd love to see air refueling (KC-135/KC-10), tactical airdrop (C-130/C-141/C-17/C-5/MC-130), and Reconnaissance (RF-4/UAV/RC-135/U-2/SR-71) included.
I'm surprised there's not a Typhoon in game. Such a legendary boat.
You only spent a few seconds on each model and the video still took nearly forty minutes. Crazy to think there's still so much more they'll add even after all that.
We got Iowas and Kirovs!
Not everyday for a modern naval war game to have an actual battleship from WW2 to make a comeback to fight in a modern war.
Going to be interesting to see how they will fare in an era of anti ship missiles.
Iowas are gonna be fine with 4 CIWS and countless other shenanigans up it’s sleeves (armour etc)
Clash of the titans
8:15 LOL, I guess you can recreate the scenario from Top Gun ;)
Really hoping to see the Ticos with VLS- Bunker Hill was comissioned into service in '86 so it's really well within the scope of the game's current time period (which seems to be largely mid 80s focused) to put it in game. It does seem like the devs seem quite 'balance' minded however given the Soviets have a fictional carrier and they're hessitant to introduce VLS, though perhaps that's just my read on it
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES (First reaction to come to mind). It is exactly what i wanted to see from you haha.
That Il-62 at 1:33 made me chuckle so hard :-D It says 'Bohemske aerolinie' which in Czech means what bohemian means in 'bohemian lifestyle'. It should say 'Ceskoslovenske aerolinie'. I hope they'll keep it this way though, this is way more cooler. Unlike actual CSA, I'd like to book a flight with 'Bohemske aerolinie' :-D
This is such a nitpick, but the way they can't seem to choose between NATO designations and Soviet designations for the Soviet weapons is somewhat annoying imo
I hope for an option for either/both
@@shatara42 Me too. NATO designations piss me off to no end, but i guess its still useful if you are more familiar with those.
I hope possibly that some more Royal Navy ships and assets come around as the era of the game the uk used many aircraft and ship so be a nice addition.
looking forward to this had no idea it was a few months out thanks!
I'm not kidding when i'm saying that this game sits over a vein of gold.
They can add a French DLC,an Italian DLC,a British DLC,a Chinese DLC,a Japanese DLC and updates with 90s armament,and this is basically scraping the surface
Little underwhelmed by the submarine variety. No Oscar IIs, Akulas, Typhoons, Virginia, Ohio, etc. Hopefully they add them at a later time.
Oscar II and SSN-774 are a little too late for this time-frame, and there aren't too many boomers because boomers are a lot of work.
IIRC it ends in January 1980 or so, at least until someone mods it. So none of these exist yet (first Ohio and first Typhoon are under construction but not yet completed).
@@AndrewCZ47 there is gameplay footage from a Strait of Hormuz mission that takes place in 1985 though
Early 1980s is the rough cut off, 1985 being on the far end. Don’t expect much past that.
Oscars IIs akulas and virginiasare too late for this game. Boomer subs have no gameplay relevance. Dev team is focused on adding ships that are relevant.
This game is going to be crazy, the open modding mindset from the devs is going to keep this game going for a very long time.
Great Video, thank you😀good to see the Tico´s are in the game.
Some SERIOUS Harpoon vibes coming from this game/sim!!!
I love how this game includes submarines aircraft carriers warships etc and not just a few submarines and warships like other games
Good job on the Oliver Hazard Perry class, mine was FFG -15 now in the Greek Navy
First game I have seen with Russian Trawlers, they used to shadow us. Harpoon didn't have them. Looking forward to the game.
I miss some units from Cold Waters, but the new stuff here goes way beyond that small loss.
That is way more than I expected from an early release, particularly the small ships and auxiliaries that add depth to the strategic aspect of it all
I hope they add more ground based stuff, I think the game has some huge potential to be a really nice cold-war sandbox
When an FFG is underway the four HF Whip Antenna's are lowered into the horizontal position for the Mk75 Gun Mount not to hit them with projectiles. They are raised when Flying Stations are in force.
This game Seapower reminds me of the naval game I played back in the day called Harpoon, but the name reminds me of Seapower II which was a naval miniatures game we played with Alnavco miniatures. Looking forward to seeing this game.
The models are incredible, they look so good
Great vid 🙌super stoked for this game!
Very excited for this game. Hope you make more videos about it in the future.
Planning to make more. Stay subscribed 🙏
@@Enigma89 will do, I came for DCS but stayed for Sea Power
I hope the mission editor is slick to use. This looks a great sandbox sim.
This is the video I was waiting for!
Huge praise to the designers for such an extensive and beautifully modeled list. Love to see the Moskva and Su-15, two of my favorite pieces of Soviet kit. Only thing I'd like to see (other than royal navy expansion) might be a few more French aircraft, and the Tu-22 non M version, both for middle-east scenarios. Maybe my USN nuclear cruisers...
so happy the games getting the more obscure aircraft as well
If the game's architecture is similar to Cold Waters and War on the Sea, I imagine it will be very easily moddable as well.
