Today we take a real-world military scenario and push it to the extreme in DCS World: can US A-10 Warthogs protect an Ohio-class nuclear submarine while it transits the dangerous Strait of Hormuz on the surface?

The scenario begins with USS Ohio suffering a sensor fault while exiting the Persian Gulf. Remaining submerged through the Strait of Hormuz is considered too risky, forcing the nuclear submarine to transit on the surface in broad daylight.

A nearby flight of A-10 Warthogs is diverted and re-tasked to provide low-level air cover for the stricken submarine. Meanwhile, F-16 Fighting Falcons operating in the Persian Gulf are assigned high cover, while ISR drones already monitoring the strait are re-purposed to provide additional surveillance and targeting support.

But can this improvised US military defence protect USS Ohio from a coordinated attack involving Iranian drones, unmanned surface vessels (USVs), attack boats and other threats?

Join us in DCS World as we test this extreme submarine escort and air defence scenario in the Strait of Hormuz.

How long can USS Ohio survive on the surface? Can the A-10s hold the line?
