      it depends very significantly if they are capable of successfully coordinating the strike. if they came form several different angles it would be mildly more difficult to counter them, but realistically they would also arrive less closely timed together so that instead of having to defend against a single swarm they would be defending against a constant stream which would be much easier

    • @ilmarga
      @ilmarga 5 месяцев назад +7

      Another thing that isn't modeled is mirv/decoys, and the fact that a successful hit will most likely not destroy the missile ridiculously cleanly like it does in DCS irl. You will have either damaged missile that still is dangerous or fragments traveling at rediculously fast speeds, making for more targets that are still coming down. So the actual efficacy will certainly be much less

    A longer range shot would be more realistic which would yield a flatter trajectory, meaning the terminal phase would be in thicker air for a longer time, ergo a slower warhead, therefore easier to hit. Maybe the final warhead speed drops from M6 to M4. Those few seconds could be valuable.

      i do agree that china has a broad industrial capacity, the only problem is that it's also being spread across a broad array of projects. they are building capital class navy ships, they are building tanks, they are building missile launch systems, they are building aircraft, and they are building dozens of types of missiles and bombs, so only a tiny tiny portion of that vast capacity goes towards a particular ballistic missile.
      also, advanced missiles are some o the systems that rely the most heavily on the hyper advanced microchips that china is facing serious shortages on, so even if they allocate more of their base to their manufacture they will still be limited by how quickly they can acquire chips that they are being sanctioned against and restricted from directly purchasing using workarounds and smuggling tiny quantities

      Not too old, but from what I've read (no expert on this game at all here), RAM 32Gb+ and a good GPU are more important than CPU. This makes sense to me as it seems to fall over when more assets (ram) and more effects (GPU???) are happening. I suppose it matters quite a lot how much of the physics modeling/math is delegated by the CPU to the GPU, which is much better at that sort of thing.

      By injecting pressurized coolants (Most likely liquid nitrogen) into the layer between the IR lens and the outer window during reentry and terminal phase. And the IR window is not at the tip of the “double cone” shaped reentry vehicle, but slightly behind where there is changing in angle of the cone, thus shielding the IR window from coming in direct contact with the aerodynamic shockwave. That 's what keeps the IR sensor working. I saw a video on a Chinese military channel talking about this.

      For non-nukes against massive targets, multiple warheads don't make much sense due to them not being able to ensure sufficient damage, At these re-entry speeds. the surface temperature would instantly destroy stealth coating.

    I would be wiling to bet my personal safety that these missiles have a very large error when it comes to targetting moving ships. Generally, if the US doesn't have a hypersonic anti-ship missile that can hit a destroyer or frigate sized target, I simply have a hard time believing China has mastered it and put it into mass production.

    Fun, but I question how good DCS in general simulates the ships. For example, wouldn't the ships be manoeuvring? Wouldn't the ships have deployed flares and chaff, not to mention towed decoys? This raises the next question - are the Chinese ASBM's as accurate as portrayed in the game? I'm uncertain that they are very maneuverable plunging at MACH 8 or whatever it is... so a maneuvering ship with decoys might very well evade the missile. To state the obvious - your Guam scenario was different because, of course, the base can't move. Last point - and not a criticism of your scenario or DCS, but just a food for thought - how would the fleet manage employment of SAMs? Would they launch 5 or 6 or more per incoming, when (depending on where they are), the more they launch now the less they would have for a possible follow-on strike (from aircraft, for example). This is, of course, the difficult tradeoff and decision - survive for certain now to die later, or take a chance now to have a chance later.

    Toss a few dozen big quad copter drones out with the right transmitter (e.g. radio or laser) and you might be able to sucker off enough missiles to make a difference. And they would cost a enough less than an SM-3 that they don't need to be very effective in absolute terms to be comparatively cost effective. That said, I'm going to guess it's going to be rather deep into the defenses before you can start ignoring inbound as "suckered" so it's unlikely to significant decrease the amount you spend on active defenses or make much difference to the "no chance anything gets thought" threshold. It would however dilute any attack and thus multiplying the cost of an attack that can be _counted_ on to be _effective._

Or they were in charge of manufacturing the rockets and instead of purchasing correct quality material, they'd find the lowest priced "product" of lesser quality which make the rocket perform completely inferior to how its supposed to function.

    The definition of hypersonic is when the chemistry of the air is changed and you start to form plasma. This speed goes down as air density goes up. The issue with hypersonic is there is no way to target the missile other than Inertial Guidance because all electromagnetic waves are blocked, so no GPS and not remote base/plane correction. Your scenario should include losses due to straying. There's no way a US Carrier Task Group is going allow any Chinese AWACS any where near it, plus once launched the task group will travel at least a .5 to 1 km and again, hypersonic is not a precision weapon.
