Early 2030's UK vs France: Entire Predicted Surface Escort Navies | Sea Power

Ajouté : 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]Hello valued viewers. I hope you're all doing very well. You guys have asked me once again to do a battle involving the UK Royal Navy as best predicted in the early 2030s including the predicted numbers of vessels as well as the type.

[00:00:16]So basically full navy battle including ships and helicopters. Well, I jumped at the bit and immediately got on with it.

[00:00:23]I thought this is going to be easy. Two maybe 3 hours of work and Bosch will have a lovely 2030s battle. No, we're well into day two now and it's been an absolute struggle. I've done my best.

[00:00:34]I've done the best research I can and the best modding I can. I apologize at this point for any mistakes. I'll explain how I got to all of my conclusions. So, the first thing I had to do was to decide who to fight against cuz you guys didn't specify. So, first I thought Germany. Germany is going to have a roughly equivalent navy. I've got some damn fine models in sea power, but they're going to be using the F126 in the early 2030s. We don't have the F-126 in C power so I can't do it. Same thing with Italy. Italy is going to have a similar size navy, but they're going to be relying on the DDX apparently in the 2030s and I don't have the DDX in SE power. What about US or China? Well, no, that's not going to work cuz they have huge navies. It's not going to work against a European size navy.

[00:01:15]Europeansized navies tend to be about the same size. So, I looked at France.

[00:01:20]and France. I do have all of the ships in sea power well modeled that will be in service in the 2030s. So today, early 2030s, Royal Navy versus French Navy.

[00:01:32]Here we go. Viewers, there's going to be a bit of talking in this one cuz I need to justify everything I've done because obviously a lot of it is based on predictions. And so I'm going to take a couple of minutes to respond to some of your general messages that you've been sending over the last few battles. I do read them all. I can't respond to all of them and I can't activate all of them.

[00:01:49]First, you wanted to change these battles from simple line of ships and line of ships to a staggered line to at least give a bit more realism. So, we'll start doing that today. Staggered line.

[00:02:00]We'll see how it goes. Next, you want to include more helicopters. Well, I can in some battles. I can't in some. This is a good example of where I cannot include helicopters. Let me quickly explain why.

[00:02:10]All of these French ships are modeled with the correct helicopter carrying the correct weapons, including anti-hship weapons. The Royal Navy is not. The Royal Navy Type 45s do have the correct Merlin helicopter. It does not have its anti-shipping weapon. And these guys here do not have Merlin at all. So, like I said, I cannot use helicopters as it would be completely unfair to the British. Next is tactical uncovering.

[00:02:32]So, you said you're bored of having just a line of ships over here and a line of ships over here and making them fight.

[00:02:36]You say you want me to use airborne assets on both sides to realistically spot the other fleet and attack the other fleet. Now, I've talked about this before. There's a very good reason why I can't do this. C Power does allow us to do this. In fact, is based around that idea, but only in singleplayer mode where I use one faction to fight against an AI controlled other faction. It does not work at all with player versus player, which is how I'm setting these battles up here. You cannot have realistic uncovering of assets that's fair to both sides. I've tried it in thorough detail. When we did a player versus player campaign at the end of last year, it was an absolute nightmare and almost impossible to do. it was impossible to do. So, we don't have the tech to do that at the moment, viewers.

[00:03:20]So, the only way I can do it fairly and fairly as critical for me, if we're not going to be fair to both sides, I might as well just go and do a different game.

[00:03:27]I'm not interested in one player versus an unequal side. I want to be fair to both sides. That's just how I do all of my simulations. So, uncovering is not a thing we can do. Don't believe me? Go and try doing it yourself. You'll find exactly what I'm talking about. Next, you want submarines in these battles.

[00:03:42]Ain't going to happen. Sorry. You need to have a tactical battle if you're going to have submarines. Submarine battles will take hours. I don't mean hours of video times, but I mean hours of real time, which means speeding up the game 50, 100 times to get the subs into firing positions. And that is completely incompatible with what we're doing here, where the battles are going to last minutes. If you want me to do submarine battles, I can do that. But beware, that's the kind of thing you're going to get. And I can't do it if enough of you guys don't watch. If enough of you guys don't watch tactical submarine stuff, which you haven't previously, then I cannot do it. It's as simple as that. Basic math. Unless you literally want me to start the submarine so that they're in a position to fire, but well, what's the point? Obviously, they're going to win at that point.

[00:04:24]Submarine warfare is all about playing the long game, getting in position to fire, and so on. Next, loads of you have asked me to do various modern battles.

[00:04:33]For instance, you want the modern Danish, the modern Indian, the Pakistan, Malaysian, Indonesian, Filipino, blah blah blah blah blah, all these ones. And thank you for that. I can't do them because I don't have any of those navies in sea power yet. Basically, if I haven't done one of your requests for those navies, then it's not in C power yet. I've done every single navy that's in sea power. As more get added in, obviously, I'll go and do them, but there's nothing else I can do with that at the moment. And finally, data picks.

[00:04:59]Some of you are complaining that when I go through the asset details, which I have to do to tell you exactly how the ships are armed, you don't like me going ship by ship. Instead, you want a kind of a graphic like this basically where you have each of the ships laid out on the screen and all the weapons listed below. I would love that, too. I've tried to get AI to help me to draw that, but it's just become impossible. It doesn't understand a lot of these weapons that AI when I try and get it to draw a picture for me, and I only have so many hours to plug into this, so that's going to have to go on the back burner. And that's it. Just nice to catch up with you guys and respond because responding to hundreds of messages just gets very difficult. Which puts us right back on track for today.

[00:05:34]So, we've got the navies. Now, we need to decide which type and how many of each type of ship Britain and France are going to have in the early 2030s. I've defined the early 2030s as 2031 to 2034.

[00:05:48]Well, uh that was a difficult task for me. So, I've immediately handed over this task to AI. have done a GTB project and a Claude project amalgamated them and taken the average and this is what current AI decides will be these two navies in early 2030s the British currently have six type 45s that's these guys here big 8,000 ton destroyers and they will all be in service in the early30s then there's a type 26 frig which is this guy here we plan to build eight of these for the Royal Navy both AI agree that four will be in service by the early 2030s. Why only four? Why not eight? I don't know.

[00:06:28]I guess that's just a bill program, but that's what they agree. And we'll talk about the weaponry in a bit. Type 31s, although they're starting to be made later. Apparently, all five, which are pumped for the Royal Navy, will be in service in the early 2030s. So, we've got five Type 31s. So, six Type 45s, four type 26s, five Type 31s, and both AI programs agree with that. On to France. Their largest ship is the Horizon Destroyer which they call a frigot for some reason. There are currently two in service and there will be two in service in the early 2030s.

[00:07:00]Next is of course FM or Aquatine class.

[00:07:04]Currently there are eight in service and it agrees there will be eight in service in early 2030s. Then there is the next generation frig which is the FDI which is the first time we're using the FDI and it's here beautifully modeled and we'll have a closer look later on. They are planning five FDIs. The first one has already been delivered and is in service and all five will be in service in the early 2030s. So by pure coincidence that puts the Royal Navy at 15 ships and France at 15 ships. It seems to be something standard with Western European countries. They want a 15 ship navy of destroyers and frigots.

[00:07:38]Why is that viewers? Not the foggiest.

[00:07:39]Please let me know. Next we need to get into the nitty-gritty and this is where it's going to get really interesting viewers and I expect some push back from you guys. But this is as I said a lot of it based on predictions. The easiest one today is probably going to be this guy, the type 45. We know exactly what that's going to happen in the early 2030s because they're being modernized now with their midlife upgrade in 2026.

[00:07:59]They're retaining their 48 aas. So, this version we have here has 48 AA 30 block one. They're also having added on to them mushroom farms of cam missiles, which you can see that's the mushroom farm there of one use BLS cam missile range about 15 mi. Range 90. So, range 70 mi. range about 14 15 miles. Naval strike missile apparently will still be the primary surfacetos surface weapon of the type 45 in the early 2030s which is what they're being upgraded to at pretty much as we speak. A 4.5 in gun, a couple of seaw* 2 noise maker and chaff. So that one's easy. Next, this one, the type 26 of which apparently will have 50% in full commission in early 2030s. Now, according to my AI sources, Wikipedia and whatnot, they are going to be delivered from the start with 12 cells of VLS for 48 quadpacked CAM missiles.

[00:08:58]This version here, we've got it slightly different. We've got two mushroom farms here and here of cam missiles rather than a 12 cell as AI thinks. However, it still gives the same 48 cam, so it doesn't really matter how it looks. It's the correct amount of weaponry and the right weapon. Next, and this is going to be a bit controversial. Well, maybe it shouldn't be, is the anti-ship missile.

[00:09:20]Type 26, not type 31, but type 26 is designed around the next generation of anti-hship weapon known as future anti-ship weapon being designed in collaboration with France to be in service in the early 2030s. This weapon used to be called Spear 5. The project was called, it's now changed. It's now called Stratus. So, UK and France are now building Stratus. We've got two Stratus missiles. Stratus low and Stratus RS. Stratus RS is a rapid strike missile, supersonic missile to chuck at, I don't know, Awax or stuff you've got to kill straight away. So, Sam sits or whatever. Stratus low is a subsonic, so a slow missile, very low observability/ stealth missile, very long range. So, which are these ships going to have?

[00:10:07]Stratus low or Stratus RS? Well, in the previous battle I did, I didn't know.

[00:10:11]So, I did Stratus RS and so we had supersonic missiles being chucked out of these. Apparently, I'm wrong. AI definitely agrees that it's going to be Stratus load. Now, that is going to be fitted to these ships. And in fact, the Type 26 here, it has 24 VLS cells specifically for Stratus Low. Now, what is Stratus low? Well, no one knows obviously because it hasn't been built yet. So we have to use some sort of placeholder that's going to be as realistic as we can. Stratus low from what we understand is going to have a range of about 1,000 mi. It's going to have a very low radar cross-section in the region of American lar and will be subsonic. Well, we have a missile just like that at the moment in sea power.

[00:10:52]RGM109M fired by the latest Arley Burks is a stealthcoated tomahawk missile with a range of a,000 mi. It's subsonic and a radar cross-section about the same as a larassm 0.01 01 square m. So we have an ideal placeholder for stratus low for all that we know about it at the moment.

[00:11:11]So today stratus low is going to be RGM 109M. I hope that makes sense. So we have the correct amount of cam, the correct amount of stratus low. We have a 5-in gun. We have 20 mil C whiz tons 2 30 mil tons 2 noise maker and chaff type 31. And I'll take this moment to apologize for the quality of these vessels. Um these type 26 and type 31 are low fidelity vessels. They're deliberately low detail and waiting for the high details to arrive. It doesn't really matter though. It's just the 3D model. The sensors and weapons should be right. So, type 31 five in service.

[00:11:42]Early 2030s, according to my best source, will have no VLS at all when it first comes into service. I don't know why this is. How could we be making frigates that we started making now in 2026 and we forgot to add a VLS? We knew it was going to have a VLS. So instead, because we managed to make it without a VLS, they're going to be retrofitted later in their life with VLS, but that will be by the 2030s or the early 2030s, so we can have it VLS. There will be a 32 cell American Mark 41 VLS system, which we've got modeled here. That can have 32 big missiles or 128 small missiles. It's going to have 64 cam.

[00:12:19]This is the best guess by AI as well, by the way. 64 cam, quadpacked in 16 cells.

[00:12:25]And again, Stratus low will be Mark 41 compatible. So 16 RGM109M or Stratus low for today. As well as that, naval strike missile. I've double checked with AI and it does agree that type 31, not type 26, but type 31 should also retain eight canister fired naval strike missiles. And you can see the midship there. So I'm happy to go with that. 57 mil gun on the bow, 40 mil gun times two. I don't know how accurate that is to be honest, but noise maker and chat. And that is the Royal Navy with all of my justifications for the early 2030s. I hope I haven't made any errors there, but like I said, I've used two AI programs. Both agree cross ref with Wikipedia and everything seems to be right. Next on to the French. This was a bit harder for me because, you know, I don't know about every navy in the world and what they're going to be like in the 2030s. I barely know my own navy. It's a really tough project, viewers. So, I've done my best. So, let me explain. Again, it's all driven by AI and their best predictions. two Horizons. Their main defensive weapon is of course Aster like us Asta 15 AA 30. I asked whether ASA would still be the primary surfacetoair weapon in the early 2030s and it agrees yes. So it's still got as it has now 16 AA 15s and 32 A30s.

[00:13:37]Again I apologize if that's wrong but I couldn't find anything else. What about its anti-ship weapon? Well, at the moment they will have exacet MM40 Mark 3C with a range of over 100 mi, but obviously they're not going to have that in the early 2030s. In fact, they're going to have the same as the British.

[00:13:53]They're going to have apparently Stratus Low, which they're co-developing with us at the moment, i.e. RGM109M.

[00:14:01]Now, where are they going to fire them from? Because Stratus low is designed to be fired from a Mark 41 VLS. Well, here's the thing. I thought about putting them in the VLS, but the problem with the French ships is as big and cool as they are, they have very little VLS size. If I substitute, let's say 16 Aers out, it's going to reduce their defensive capability massively. So, I've decided to keep them in canister launch.

[00:14:23]Apparently, stratas will also be able to be canister launched. So, I've put them eight canister launch strats and I've left their defensive measures as they are is my best guess from what I can find. As well as our anti- torpedo decoys, you got MO 90. You got 20 mil narwhal uh a midship and the stern here.

[00:14:42]You got uh 76 mil guns here. I think they're super rapid. Sorry if I'm wrong with that. I know this is a shared tech with the Italians and other defensive measures. So that's Horizon. Onto FM.

[00:14:52]And you know my thoughts on FM. I'm not a huge fan of it. I don't think it's well enough armed. Um so we've got FM or the average FME. They're all slightly different. The ones in service with them apparently. They have a similar thing.

[00:15:01]have small BLS at the front with 16 ASA 15, 16 A30s. Again, the same thing.

[00:15:06]Their exo sets going to be replaced. I didn't want to remove any of these missiles cuz they already have very little defense. So, I've put them in the canisters. Uh, eight RGM 109 M. We got Moose. We got torpedo defense, 76 mil gun on the bow, 20 mil narwhal times two, both at the back for some weird reason. Uh, noise maker and chaff. And onto the new ship, which is beautifully modeled. The FDI or the Amaral Ronach H class. Uh, it looks lovely and you can tell it's modern because look, look at the way the shape of the front of the hull. It's got that futuristic 2030s look that European Navy seem to be going for. And it just looks like a little beast. It looks like a mini F127 to me, which I also love. Uh, in terms of sizes, by the way, the destroyer, which they call a frig, about 8,000 tons, over 8,000 tons. This guy here, the FM about 6,000 tons and this guy here about 4 1/2,000 tons if I can get him. Uh, we got the same defense amazingly as its bigger FM cousin forward VLS of 16 AA 15 16 A30s. We've got exactly the same thing for exactly the same rationale RGMs representing Stratus low MO 90 76 mil guns one and two Narwh there and one there. That's the best setup that I can do for the quantities, the types of ships, and the weapons they're carrying from what I can find from my project. I have no doubt you're going to tell me that I'm wrong, and you're going to correct me, and that's fine. We can always come back and redo it. That's why we do these things, so we can slowly correct and refine as we go. No one's going to get this right first time. And welcome in battle one. First scale. If I had scale 1 to1 15 ships per side, total 30 ships, it would have about 500 missiles in the air at once, which is not doable at the moment, viewers. So, as usual, I've had to cut everything down in half. So, divide vessel types by two, round up to the nearest vessel. We have the British, three darings, two type 26s, and three type 31s. French. We have one Horizon, four FM and three FDIs. So that is eight per side. In terms of the battle, we'll have 80 mi between belligerent, Royal Navy, French Navy. Both sides will have initial firing solutions, but we'll lose it after initial firing as per our normal rules. In this case, missiles have already been fired. When I do these 2030s battles, some of the times I have to have the missiles already fired before I get into 3D. It's just how it is. It's going to make no difference otherwise. Sorry I can't show you the nice firing sequence. And that's pretty much it. We're at 1000 hours and go. So, um, one thing I didn't mention, uh, let me just catch these vessels before they go. The French, uh, firing the placeholder for the Stratus Low, which is the Tomahawk. That's going to go off our radar. Now, let's just quickly talk about legacy vessels. You're going to say, "Hey, aren't the British going to have Type 23 still in service in 2030s?

[00:17:58]What about the Lafayette from the French doing a similar job?" From what I can find, no, not really. According to my AI sources, there will be between zero and two Lafayette in service early 2030s and zero and three type 23s um for the British. So, I think that's enough to discount them from frontline navy. Uh let's have a quick talk about the missiles. I suppose we've got naval strike missile being fired only by the British today. It is set up with a radar cross-section of 0.05 square meters. The Stratus Low being played by um the RGM 109M.

[00:18:34]It's the same one as we used in the battle where America took on France. It has a radar cross-section of 0.01 square meters, making it very stealthy.

[00:18:45]It can only be seen at 12 mi. It can only be shot at at 10 mi, whereas the Naval Strike Missile can be seen at 14 mi and shot at at 12 mi. Some of you complain that this is modeled too good and I should tone it down. Some of you like it. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do viewers when you disagree like that. So, I've just left it for the time being. Uh, that's pretty much it.

[00:19:05]Helicopters, in case you skip the briefing, we've disallowed or I'm not allowing them to take part in the battle because we have here the French modeled really well with the right except missile and stuff like that. But, the Merlin on board the Type 45, as you can see here, a I've got a Merlin, but it only has ASW. It does not have its anti-hship missiles, which apparently it can carry in real life. Uh, and the Type 21 and Type 31 don't even have the right helicopters. So, um, we're going to have to leave that for now. Sorry, there's been so much talking today, viewers, but this is one of those battles where I have to justify everything I've done.

[00:19:37]Otherwise, there's just a load of dots on the screen moving around. Right. In terms of defensive missiles, I should go over every time I do these battles and why they one of the reasons why they take so long. I have to go over every single defensive missile and check they're not overpowered, underpowered, whatever. Uh, they all seem great, which is good. Um, the Aers are used by both sides today. Uh just to give you an idea of what kind of thing I check for have a a base chance to hit of 95% obviously that is adjusted for all the things like the incoming missiles height and aspect and radar cross-section and blah blah blah blah blah but that's normal. Uh the uh cams aboard the type 31 and the type 26 have a base chance to hit of 90% which fine sounds about right. It's less than a premium weapon as compared to ATA. On we go. Who's going to win? Well, let's have a look at quantity of missiles fired. We can see the British have fired uh Stratus low at 96. So that's 16 from each. No, that's 24 from each type 26. It's 16 from each type 31.

[00:20:37]Also, naval strike missiles fired from eight from type 31 and eight from type 45. 48 of those. Whereas the French have fired stratus low 64 basic eight from each vessel. Again, that's the best that I can find with what I can do. We can always come back and change it if you want to. That's been yeah nearly nearly two days of trying to get to work and we're just about here viewers. So, um hopefully it'll be enjoyable. Computer seems to be running okay, bearing in mind that we've got eight uh 16 vessels plus helicopters plus rain plus uh well over 200 missiles in the air. It's going to get laggy when the defensive missiles come out. Obviously, there will be probably I don't know 500 600 missiles in the air. Maybe 700 missiles in the air. So, you know, give it a break.

[00:21:19]NR90. Nice looking helicopter, isn't it, viewers? I guess it's French indigenous.

[00:21:24]Most French things are. That said, I'm not sure it would even be able to close within firing range. The missile it carries, the MM39, has a range of about 30 mi. It's a smaller variant obviously than the ship fire missiles. And Daring has got a range on his AES of well over 60 mi. So, we'll see. I should say at this point, viewers, I have not tried it in full. Uh, so I actually don't know who's going to win. That's the way I prefer to run things. Okay, naval strike missile is now 22 miles away. We are 6 minutes into the sim. And this is kind of why we can't have submarines because uh replace hours for minutes. It's just not compatible with the uh the fight that we're doing here. Okay, initial solutions being garnered already. That's quite surprising.

[00:22:06]No firing yet. Range 18 miles. When I talk about the ranges that the missiles can be intercepted at, that's dependent on the radar and the missiles obviously of the vessel. So, it's always going to be dynamic. Usually about 14 mi. No fire yet. Okay, we have missiles out from FDI's firing. FDI's firing ATA 15s. Here we go. French fire first.

[00:22:29]More A 15s out of the front mounted BLS.

[00:22:31]I love that ship. Look at it. It's like a bulldog. Okay, everyone's going now.

[00:22:35]The entire French Navy, 15 ships, eight ships is modeled are firing everything they've got. Astra 30, Astra 15, Aquitane firing.

[00:22:45]How effective are they going to be?

[00:22:46]Well, it depends on the range they're shot, the aspect they're shot, blah blah blah blah. A bit of luck. One's been one's hit there. Another Aster.

[00:22:55]Another ASA.

[00:22:59]Okay, it appears naval strike missile are being intercepted at about 13 mi and my prediction was 14 mi. So, that's not bad. But bearing in mind, you can shoot a tomahawk from 20 mi away. That's still pretty good. Half the distance of a tomahawk.

[00:23:14]Okay. Everything being dealt with okay over here. Well, we'll see. I don't really know yet. British don't see any of their aggressors yet.

[00:23:23]Horizon is uh about 66% ammo. Fm is 50% ammo. FDI, if I can try and find one.

[00:23:32]FDI is 50% ammo. I still can't see our aggressors on the British side yet. the uh Stratus.

[00:23:40]Boom. Dons Le Viza had you as you would say in France, I believe.

[00:23:46]This is jolly good, isn't it, viewers?

[00:23:48]The old French Navy in 2030s and wham.

[00:23:53]Sorry about the laggginess, viewers.

[00:23:54]It's going to happen. You got 500 missiles in the air. You know, even if I had a super duper computer, it wouldn't be perfect. Even a bit of naval gunnery going off because why not? Okay, almost all naval strike masses have been dealt with up here. Uh, not quite. Not quite.

[00:24:10]Bang. Shot down. Very fierce fighting force. The French defense. British are now coming online with our our foe which is Stratus.

[00:24:20]Remember 0.01 square meters. So very low, difficult to see. The chance we get to shoot at them is only about 10 miles.

[00:24:27]It's all in all a little bit terrifying.

[00:24:29]Okay. the big ships, the Horizons and uh the Fres have dealt with the uh naval strike missiles of their side, but the FDIs have not yet dealt with theirs. And this guy's all out of ammo. Here's always the problem we find with France.

[00:24:43]This guy's at 50% ammo. Just looking at the missiles, I don't carry enough damn missiles in their ships. Some of the Italian vessels are the same problem.

[00:24:53]We can't buy yet. We can see those missiles, but we haven't got a firing solution on them yet. Let me just check.

[00:24:58]Good to fire. Got to make sure everything's working. Yep, we're all set to fire. And we'll strike this iron.

[00:25:03]Doing it terminal maneuvers. Can we get one through? It's possible. The FDI is not the best world's best defending ship.

[00:25:13]That's going to be close. That's going to be close. One left. One left. Oh, I didn't make it through. Forwards. Let's just have a breather at that point.

[00:25:21]We're just under 9 minutes in and let's see what's happened. All naval strike missiles have been shot down. 48 of them. They're good on French navy, but French have depleted their missiles quite a lot. Now, let's have a look at the next tier weapons. The Stratus RS is the Stratus low is coming in. Our Stratus low is coming in. Let's check the ranges that we're firing at. Uh, we're firing at 11 miles. I predicted 10 mi. So, that's not, you know, getting good at these predictions. The French are going to be able to shoot at theirs at the same distance. They may be slightly phased. They might be a couple of miles different in terms of timings.

[00:25:52]Um, otherwise, yeah, they got solutions.

[00:25:54]You can see a tick. They're just waiting for it to be enraged. It's going to get slow again. It's going to get really slow in now, viewers, cuz cams just come out of these mushroom farms like no one's business. Great thing about mushroom farms is because they're not quadpacked, they can fire at any rate.

[00:26:07]You can just fire. Click, click, click, click, click, click, click. Oh, no, these aren't mushroom farms. These are Mark 40 ones. I'll take that back.

[00:26:12]Where's the type 26? Oh, I don't know.

[00:26:14]I'll just shut up. Shut up. Great thing about CAM is it's a decent missiles active radar homing. So, it's a, you know, it's a mini AM RAM or whatever you want to call it. It's accurate. It's good, but also because they're small and moderately cheap, you can just have hundreds of them. And that's what we're seeing here. Pretty effective defense actually compared to what I thought.

[00:26:30]This is the same missile on both sides as we saw against the Chinese. So there is no difference.

[00:26:36]What we got here is just a vast vast quantity of of cams coming out. As I said, I double check them missiles to make sure nothing's cheating or nothing's overperforming. Well, as much as I can check. Got to check the French now. They're now dealing with theirs.

[00:26:49]They got their Asters coming in.

[00:26:51]slow laggy. I'll apologize again viewers that I can't do much about at the moment. We'll eventually be getting a new PC as is coming out. I'm trying to get some vessel. Okay, here we go.

[00:27:01]Here's the problem. French zero ammo.

[00:27:03]All out of ammo. Bring in Winchester. Go back to breast. Uh FM all out of ammo.

[00:27:10]FDI out of ammo. FDI 50% ammo. FDI. Can't click on it. Probably about 50% ammo.

[00:27:17]Check the Horizon. Horizon's still belting out weapons. She's got the biggest magazine here, obviously. Got to check the British. British has still been aggressed, but they seem to be dealing with as well. Just look at the storm of cams. Absolute storm of cams.

[00:27:38]Well done, boys. Cams. All of his cams gone. All of his cam near most of his cams gone. All of his cams gone. They've just whipped off 20, 30 cams each.

[00:27:48]and dealt with their FRA. Okay, well done. What about the French Horizon? Oh dear. All out of ammo. Yeah, running into that same old problem, aren't we?

[00:27:57]Frame out of ammo. F out of ammo. F out of ammo. F out of ammo. F uh FDI out of ammo. Yeah, here's the problem. FDI last FDI firing his missiles out and we can see which way this is going to go. Now, are you going to tell me, "Oh, I'm cheating like I did on the US and China one." I'm not. I can tell you like the US and China one, everything's fair.

[00:28:19]Everything's checked. Every Aster here is the same checked as every Aster here.

[00:28:23]Identical 95% hit base chance. Every cam here, 90% base hit chance. There's nothing cheating. It's just quantities of missiles available that's doing it.

[00:28:34]Look, they've nearly wiped out the RGMs here, but not quite. They've wiped out 60%, but not quite. They've wiped out 50%. We've wiped out 60% 50% some percent. And none are going for that guy for some reason. That's what happens when you don't have enough missiles.

[00:28:54]Swerving in you. You go.

[00:29:01]Are we getting any through?

[00:29:05]Super rapids are taking him out. The super rapids are amazing. Not amazing enough, sir.

[00:29:23]Wowee.

[00:29:28]There we go, viewers. All done fair and square. 80 mi. I had a feeling it was going to end like that because, you know, I can see the missile quantities and stuff like that. And you just do the basic maths, can't you? But well defended by the Royal Navy. No hits at all. have depleted a lot of their ammo, but they've still got a lot of ammo.

[00:29:44]French fought well, defeated 50 um low observability anti-hship missiles, but used most of their ammo doing it. Couple didn't get hit. I don't know why these two at the bottom didn't get hit here, but um there's not much they can do.

[00:29:57]They literally have no missiles at all, so there's not much point of them fighting. They can't use M90s on us. So, I guess as a summary, we're using the same missiles on either side for aggression and for defense. But these guys, the British, for whatever reason, you know, the data that I could find, just have much more, much more aggressive missiles in the Type 26 and the Type 31 and much more defensive missiles in the Type 45, in a Type 26 and the Type 31. Whereas the French, as cool as they are, don't have as many defensive missiles, don't have as many offensive missiles from the info that I can find. And as cool as our new ship is, it's just not going to stand up to it. So, I'm pretty happy about that.

[00:30:32]Viewers, um, let's go for a gunfight for the Lords. Welcome in, viewers. One mile battle to finish it off because why the chuff not and go.

[00:30:41]All the sea whiz versus all the narwhal.

[00:30:43]Are they narwhal? I forgotten already.

[00:30:47]Look at that. It's a laser show. Cams are out. Oh, I'm not sure the French have the ability to fire within a mile.

[00:30:55]They don't. Cam does.

[00:30:58]That cam's turning into C power. That cam is turning into a brilliant weapon, isn't it? It's not the best statistically. The chance to hit is pretty low. this warheaded ship. But there's just so bloody many of them.

[00:31:11]Well, that was a bit of an embarrassing defeat for the French there, but fair enough. Whatever. All right, viewers. Uh that No, there's a couple left. There's a couple left. Yeah. Not for long. Not for long. Yeah. All right.

[00:31:23]Well, that's I've done it as best I can, viewers. Um do you want to see any more 2030s battles? I It's a massive ball lake to make. It's basically taken me two days by the time I'm finished today, which I'm not so sure how sustainable that is. It's really just so hard finding everything you need and then trying to sort of make it work. And then just the base research as well. You know, this is certainly not my area. So, Germans, we can't do F126. We we don't have Italy. DDX, we don't have America are going to have their new frig in 2030s and maybe even their Trump. I don't know. Let me know your thoughts.

[00:31:54]But we certainly don't have the frig.

[00:31:55]And what weapons are the Oie Bergs going to be carrying? I don't know. And China.

[00:31:58]I've not even got the foggess. What they're having? I don't know. It might just be a bit much for me. But anyway, I've taken on the challenge. I hope you enjoyed it.
