Thank you for playing DEFCON. Please do not be alarmed at the DOD marked sedan pulling into your driveway. Some gentlmen in blue uniforms representing the United States Air and Space Forces would like very much to have a chat with you sir.
It is scary how close this kind of thing is getting to reality for the US, given stealth capabilities on our missiles and EKVs on ground based and ship based missile defense. Not to even mention defenses like THAAD and patriot. It is not at all outside the realm of possibility that the USA could pull this off with most countries that have nukes given the comparatively tiny arsenals most have today.
@@MrLittlelawyer Not true, complete opposite actually as Russia and China have hypersonic missiles with NK just testing their own successful version. So until the US can catch up in the hypersonic game, the only countries getting stealth nuked is the west
@@MrLittlelawyer not to mention as recent events have shown even our closet rivals are leagues away from even coming close to matching us. and with the growing importance of multi-dimensional avenues such as the critical importance of economics and geography, allies, and political factors and how they intersect and affect and are affected my military concerns. it's getting to the point there is realistically no legit force on this planet who could ever hope to even survive a fight against the US. nevermind win.

It had a specific game mode that was designed to play out over 8 hours to let you play it at work, and give fairly unassuming alerts in your status bar to let you know if other players did important stuff like launch missiles. The program had a "boss key" where it would instantly minimize if you were playing and your boss came around. Good times.

Pro tip for newer players. Launch all your bombers into the distance somewhere on the map.From your air bases, and aircraft carriers. u should have close to 50 bombers out at the same time. Once all of them are out u just order them 1 by 1 to nuke 1 continent. Then u use ur silos to fire ICBMS and your submarines. and by the time all of it comes together u have over 60 ICBMS on top of 1 continent. At that point no amount of defenses can stop so many nukes at the same time. Most games i play by the end of the game i have 0 nukes left and at least 70% of them hit cities because i swarm my enemies with an overwhelming amount of nukes.
Unthinkable would have been a slog through Eastern Europe with roughly one bomb a week as the allies plus Germany attempted to deplete the lend-lease equipment the Soviets had just been given, and then deplete their manpower advantage (doable with American artillery doctrine) while formenting revolution in the various Russian slave states. Meanwhile the marines land in kamchatka and start heading west.
He just casually wins a conflict where everyone usually die. I mean you still have radioactive particles probably all over the earth now and potential nuclear winter but win is a win.
This game is terrifying for some reason. Just the silence barring the ambience, and watching explosions killing millions of people in an instant just appear as a... number. It's probably the eeriest game I've ever played.
Honestly I think it homes on how this type of war would play out: Behind a keyboard in a silent room full of onlookers watching pixels on a screen as estimated numbers go up
Counterforce. Part of the reason the us no longer is so concerned about developing interceptors. The other half is the improved triggers on us nuclear weapons that allow evenly slightly off course warheads to successfully attack hardened launchers.
Counterforce is more difficult now than it was 40 years ago though. Russia, China, and North Korea deploy road-mobile ICBMs that can move around. North Korea is the most mobile and doesn’t have any fixed silos. If the US were to ever strike North Korea, it would carry a very high risk of not getting all the launchers they hide in the mountains and forests and they have an 18k kilometre range these days so they can reach everywhere
@@SuperPGamingyou say that as if they didnt issue wooden Armour for their soldiers, the nirth coreans have half a nuke, the chinese have maybe 3 if the ignitions work and the russians better hope that they dont blow up in the silos
@@tunderstorm2769The greatest mistake is underestimating the enemy. What I say, is that there's alot more money invested into countermeasures than people say. I lived next to a 'totally not active wink wink' base awhile back. I'm confident it's an installation for nuclear defenses because it's right on the Canadian border.
@@sensha5470 bro we have a rouge agency that is basically controlling every facet of our daily life, if they thought the russians were gonna be a problem, the russians wpuldnt exist anymore
@@tunderstorm2769China definitely has more than 3 nukes. Russia’s may be in disrepair, but you can’t discount any nuclear threat. I get the feeling the PLA is a joke, but that doesn’t mean their nuclear forces can’t be effective.
@@bonanlin4972As far as I know the nuclear air-to-air missiles were intended to be fired into the midst of the predicted massive soviet bomber formations, so that only one interceptor could be used to knock down the entire formation
@@bonanlin4972it’s a different type of nuke. Not a city erasing nuke but more of a fuck everything in this general area one. Like someone pointed out, they were to be used against Soviet plane walls because Russians don’t know any other tactics than throw everything at them all at once. You send one small yield nuclear warhead in the center or around the formation, it either destroys the planes or EMP’s them, basically destroying them.
I really don't mind horror games or sad games, but this game man, I just feel huge guilt and sadness whenever I see the bombs drop and see those awful numbers.. Man.
General Krukov: We must unleash our nuclear weapons! Annihilate them all! Dasha Fedorovich: Excuse me, general? General Krukov: Our Nuclear weapons? Our atomic bombs?!
If america mr housed the nukes and won the great war they wouldnt be able to do much of anything except hold themselves together for a few decades after their victory due to the civillian chaos itd bring and the refugee crisis itd cause. Armies fleets and air wings would come home en masse to fight a war in their own country against the afterath. The US would survive but become something new
@@Justin-ui5ti For some reason, I can hear Senator Armstrong saying that. “It’s America’s destiny to rule the world Jack. And we will rule the world after we reclaim the wasteland.”
to be fair the only way to Win a nuclear war is be the surprising attacker and also use extreme aggression on key attack points to secure retaliation attempts and worst case prepare to accept mass loss for the victory
Yeah there’s a great film from the 1970s called First Strike where the Soviets win a scenario like this. Could still happen today since America doesn’t seriously invest in ABM tech
@@SuperPGamingis almost a trillion dollars a year not enough??? It’s not how much money you have, it’s how you use it. Instead of creating a bunch of massively over budget radical new designs that are almost designed to fail, iterate on what you know works to create improved versions of tried and tested designs. Basically, be less like America and more like china.
@@LeavingGoose046 The F-117 is decades old and is still (practically) undetectable. Now many of the US’s allies have extremely capable 5th gen stealth multirole fighters. The F-22, even though it’s only owned by the US, can still easily take down as many planes as the missiles it can carry. Only China (maybe) has 5th gen aircraft. NK has planes from the 50s. And on that “reiterating on old designs”, we do it because they’re _good,_ the only reason the MCX SPEAR is replacing the M4 is because of worries over russian body armor, which is something russian soldiers have to buy themselves. The F-15 was made to be incredibly capable, and it’s a gun truck of a multirole fighter. And that is all to say: yeah I think the west’s military power is doing pretty good. Doesn’t mean though that we’re invulnerable, of course, but we can absolutely, please excuse my language, “fuck shit up real bad” if we have to.
And just like that, we’ve officially completely missed the point of DEFCON. Look upon my works ye mighty and despair, says the US as the last crumbling island in the irradiated wasteland…
@@SuperPGaming Quoting ozymandias would’ve sufficed but that works too. Winning a game that you’re not supposed to be able to “win” is impressive, don’t get me wrong, but I certainly hope that the irony isn’t lost on ya.
And this is why cultural/economic warfare has been so popular in modern times, the fact that there are major conflicts popping up is extremely worrisome
I have this game. You haven't seen true skill yet. The day I earned respect on multiplayer was the day I brought down the silos of my opponent without having ever seen them. I still lost the game but won something more important.
Some 86 million innocent people died and there's probably going to be a surge in cancer and infertility rates across Asia and Europe, but at least America's fine! You have to keep in mind this is still a nuclear war's best case scenario.
I wonder how the AI strategizes in this one. I did not notice where all of the Russias subs went, some were destroyed in the pacific, but I would expect there to be more. Those could have eliminated your silos when you started launching, if any where in range But for sure the AI could have scored some hits even when it launched if it targeted west coast cities - they were too far from the silos to be defended I think.
The AI in DEFCON won't immediately launch all their missiles once DEFCON 1 hits. They will wait for a mass strike once a bit of time has passed after 1. Hence, why a first strike, if successful since silos have AA, if they aren't launching missiles, will most definitely cripple a player.
Cool! You managed to make a perfect ending for a depressing game. There's also a game about playing with casualties, called Concrete tremor, but it has a scripted ending
I learned a lot from this Gameplay :) Alaska is not worth it to put Silos. Only a radar and maybe an Air base... All silos should be in the same spot for an efficient defence. Didn't know submarines can sumerge and emerge lol When DEFCON I is reached I have to slow down the game speed and launch at the same time all ICBMS to overwhelm the adversary's air defense. Interceptors must be sent even if the threat isn't in range. Interceptors and strategic bombers from airbases can be send to aircraft carriers to replace the destroyed units. Thanks! I'll destroy the IA next time!
Using the aerial launched missiles to soak up their initial defense while suppressing their inclination to let off rounds. Securing supremacy in the Pacific and Atlantic to deny them routes for air launches to the states. Firing off your land missiles first, then firing your submarine missiles last, to combine the arrival times for a massive merciless strike to overwhelm what defensive capability remained. The generous thing about this scenario is that Russia has battle ready carriers. Aside from this masterclass of strategy, imagine a world where Russia and only Russia is vanquished by nuclear fire. An entire nation reduced to ruin while its attempt to secure mutually assured destruction failed miserably. The US just demonstrated that there IS indeed a way to WIN a nuclear war, and only they can do it, by just doing it.
Thanks. Obviously this is just a game, and both sides in this game have 316 nuclear warheads. In reality Russia has over 6500, and the USA has over 6000. So even if the attacker played all their cards right and attacked first, they would likely still suffer a counter-attack that gets through. I think Russia is more likely to fire first in the event of WW3 because they know the US has a technical advantage on conventional forces, and the Kremlin would want to get their nukes out the tubes before the US wipes out their ability to retaliate. This is why brinksmanship with Russia is so dangerous, and why the conflict in Ukraine is concerning due to its potential to escalate
I think it’s cuz it sounds like frantic commands being given. I don’t have that level of background noise now. This was one of my first gaming videos I ever filmed
Even as a proud citizen of the United States, this scenario is tragic. I'm glad that such a scenario exists, however unlikely it is. Still, not only will the entire Soviet territory likely be rendered uninhabitable for upwards of 50 years (nuclear bombs are not power plants, not nearly as many particles to stick around), but the world would have seen the true devastation of nuclear war and see a winner. Nuclear warfare would either be made normalized - or more thankfully taboo. The loss would be unimaginable, probably upwards of 2-3x the amount from World War 2. Just the humaniterian crisis alone for Europe and the rest of Asia would be astonishing for the world to bear. I hope we never have to resort to nuclear war ever, and if it does come to that, the damage be mitigated as much as possible.
@JosephSimoneAverageJoey2000 nevermind it's 2am and I should sleep. I confused the nuclear target icon with the launch notification alert. Damn I should really sleep. Love the little detail

Mutually assured destruction is scared of him
😎
I wonder how the AI strategizes in this one.
I did not notice where all of the Russias subs went, some were destroyed in the pacific, but I would expect there to be more. Those could have eliminated your silos when you started launching, if any where in range
But for sure the AI could have scored some hits even when it launched if it targeted west coast cities - they were too far from the silos to be defended I think.
Did Soviets not launch any missiles or did I just not see it?
Why did they wait so late?
Ikr. The USSR is notorious for jumping to press the big red button. Why did they do nothing? They should of detected the silo launches.
The AI in DEFCON won't immediately launch all their missiles once DEFCON 1 hits. They will wait for a mass strike once a bit of time has passed after 1. Hence, why a first strike, if successful since silos have AA, if they aren't launching missiles, will most definitely cripple a player.
Cool! You managed to make a perfect ending for a depressing game. There's also a game about playing with casualties, called Concrete tremor, but it has a scripted ending
I’ll check it out! Thanks!
I used to set this game to only cpu players and just watch it go.
It’s a lot of fun! I’ll be doing more DEFCON content now as a result of the increased demand for it.
Let’s make this the meme game of 2024!
those people in NORAD were glad that Joshua hadn't found out the Kevin Castley maneuver... imagine otherwise
😼🤠😎
the only winning move is not to play
oh and theres also this ig
For real
"Mutually assured destruction? Haha, no son."
This game could really do with a upbeat synthpop soundtrack, good match!
Pardon me, but icbm is next door
Some hard phonk music or the doom soundtrack lol
The subtitle for the game is "everybody dies", the angle is more about atmoic armageddon and less bubblegum RTS
99 Luftballons would fit the bill.
Seems more like Atom Bomb Baby for this play
The only case of M.A.D. without the mutual part
Well technically there is another video on my channel of me doing this but from the perspective of Russia… So technically two cases 😊
This right here is some Assured Destruction lol
🤠
The music has a “Kharack is burning. There’s nothing left for us here, let’s go.” kind of vibe and I know that’s intentional.
Real.
@@SuperPGaming oh mein got he got the reference!
Hey y’all!
Be sure to follow me on X at KevinCastley and my main RUclips channel Superpower Broadcasting for more content! 🤠
They should make this simulation for more than just flat earthers.
Ikr 😅
Well what are we waiting for? Put this man in charge and start those missiles flyin!
This is metro 2033 lore.
The Santa tracker LOL
☢️🎅🤠
I learned a lot from this Gameplay :)
Alaska is not worth it to put Silos. Only a radar and maybe an Air base...
All silos should be in the same spot for an efficient defence.
Didn't know submarines can sumerge and emerge lol
When DEFCON I is reached I have to slow down the game speed and launch at the same time all ICBMS to overwhelm the adversary's air defense.
Interceptors must be sent even if the threat isn't in range.
Interceptors and strategic bombers from airbases can be send to aircraft carriers to replace the destroyed units.
Thanks! I'll destroy the IA next time!
Yup!
You should make DEFCON streams and videos. Let’s bring this game back! ☢️🤠
Bro just said nuh uh to the whole „nobody wins a nuclear war” part of nuclear warfare
🤠
Lore-accurate 1980s United States

this video increases nuclear proliferation
Uh oh. Cuz it’s not the only DEFCON video on this channel 😬
this is why we need 20 fleet carrier battlegroups on standby
Wow, that's impressive! I've had some really good games before, but I always took at least one hit.
Thanks!
I might do more videos and show people how to win without taking civilian casualties
No one wins a nuclear war mfs when this guy walks in: 😦
🤠
Using the aerial launched missiles to soak up their initial defense while suppressing their inclination to let off rounds.
Securing supremacy in the Pacific and Atlantic to deny them routes for air launches to the states.
Firing off your land missiles first, then firing your submarine missiles last, to combine the arrival times for a massive merciless strike to overwhelm what defensive capability remained.
The generous thing about this scenario is that Russia has battle ready carriers.
Aside from this masterclass of strategy, imagine a world where Russia and only Russia is vanquished by nuclear fire. An entire nation reduced to ruin while its attempt to secure mutually assured destruction failed miserably. The US just demonstrated that there IS indeed a way to WIN a nuclear war, and only they can do it, by just doing it.
Thanks.
Obviously this is just a game, and both sides in this game have 316 nuclear warheads.
In reality Russia has over 6500, and the USA has over 6000. So even if the attacker played all their cards right and attacked first, they would likely still suffer a counter-attack that gets through.
I think Russia is more likely to fire first in the event of WW3 because they know the US has a technical advantage on conventional forces, and the Kremlin would want to get their nukes out the tubes before the US wipes out their ability to retaliate.
This is why brinksmanship with Russia is so dangerous, and why the conflict in Ukraine is concerning due to its potential to escalate
"Everybody Dies"
Seems like only most
Bro got an industrial stapler for a keyboard
😎
21:30 SANTA NO GET OUT OF THERE NOOO
"Haha, i win! Now to conquer the worl-wait, why is the sky green?"
🤔
The people I used to play with when this game was in its prime would absolutely slaughter this guy lol
They can come challenge me 😎
I like how player 1 did not launch a single nuke until less than 40 seconds remained
I don't know why, but the clicking and keyboard sounds make this sound more realistic in an unnerving way.
I think it’s cuz it sounds like frantic commands being given.
I don’t have that level of background noise now. This was one of my first gaming videos I ever filmed
@@SuperPGaming you were fighting for your LIFE 💀
@@bloxy77 And I prevailed 😎
@@SuperPGaming asserting dominance in the only way possible: Nuclear winter.
Two years later, no nuclear war yet. I hope I can say the same in another two years.
Me too! 🙏
Even as a proud citizen of the United States, this scenario is tragic. I'm glad that such a scenario exists, however unlikely it is. Still, not only will the entire Soviet territory likely be rendered uninhabitable for upwards of 50 years (nuclear bombs are not power plants, not nearly as many particles to stick around), but the world would have seen the true devastation of nuclear war and see a winner. Nuclear warfare would either be made normalized - or more thankfully taboo. The loss would be unimaginable, probably upwards of 2-3x the amount from World War 2. Just the humaniterian crisis alone for Europe and the rest of Asia would be astonishing for the world to bear. I hope we never have to resort to nuclear war ever, and if it does come to that, the damage be mitigated as much as possible.
Correct. It’s genuinely scary seeing NAFO accounts come out openly hoping for the US to do this. In reality Russia would fire back.
Bruh it’s been so long since I’ve seen a video about DEFCON, people call it a dead game and I can’t disagree😢
We’re bringing it back! 😎☢️☢️☢️
my first time hearing about this game. maybe I should play it?
@@GeneralLDS yeah it’s pretty fun even just using bots and you can still play with people sometimes as well
100%! Do it! Let’s get a community of DEFCON gamers
Absolutely 👍
Kris Kringle at 24:00 bringing his nuclear gifts to the west.
It's Christmas at ground zero intensifies.
Santa still has a job to do 🎅🎅🎅
what is the sleigh doing? how do I instantly reveal all the enemy silos like that lol
the sleigh is because NORAD tracks Santa Claus. don't know what you mean about revealing silos
Russia deployed a tactical Santa…
He’s not very effective!
@JosephSimoneAverageJoey2000 nevermind it's 2am and I should sleep. I confused the nuclear target icon with the launch notification alert. Damn I should really sleep.
Love the little detail
Santa flyin around at ~20:00 wondering if he should be dropping uranium off instead of coal
Santa likes nukes bro 🎅 ☢️
