Can US Army Hold Bridge VS 5 MILLION ZOMBIES!? - Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 UEBS 2

[@Waterursa]

the us probably could of won if it weren't for the trolls. It would be cool to see a similar set up but with medieval units charging the bridges and a smaller individual force to guard each bridge

[@toupac3195]

Spoiler alert!!!! 😡🤪

[@northernranger012]

exactly what i was thinking

[@Thomastownus0517]

The moving shotgun should be on guard mode

[@browneartistry9835]

The trolls carried the zombies to victory, without them the US still would have lost due to the shear number of zombies, but it would have been way closer of a battle.

[@SRMal8723]

Most likely not. The bodypiles at the main bridge would have let more and more zombies connect over time.

[@MLundy98]

Those shotgunners on the other bridge nearly lost it to the trolls but pushed them back and reclaimed the bridge, then held onto it until everyone else lost their positions. Bravo to them. And just an eyeballing of them it seemed once they retook it, they lost little to none defending until they were flanked.

[@Rosivok]

The damage on the thompsons and shotguns needs to be raised to at least the level of a roman with a sword, the fire rate needs to double, and the shermans need their machineguns, at least two if not all three of them. also the shermans need to have twice the fire rate that they have, one shot every 4 seconds.

[@oOFoof-wo1vd]

The shot gunners are useless in ranged vs ranged battles in most battles they just get cut down immediately

[@cooleyfitness13]

What about 1 free roaming super tank

[@inquisitorialcandidate-1237]

That would make the entire WW2 faction untouchable which would render them unusable in battles. The shotgun and kar98 do need a damage buff, and thompson could have a slightly better RoF and dmg. Not sure about the shermans changes though, I think it would need direct dev intervention because it changes up a lot of mechanics (no unit has 2 weapons so far) and given how much they're working on (they want to double the units and maps currently in game), they wouldn't spend time to change a single unit, and I don't want them to. Daley has a lot of other more accurate WW2 sim videos, you should check them out if you want more realism :)

Having a part of the defending army on attack mode was super fun. It keeps the fight way more dynamic. And also having the trolls as some kind of hero-zombie was very nice. It gives some personality to the faceless swarm.

[@xenotypos]

Maybe it's more fun, but when they attacked they scattered and at this point it was clear they would lose. An army with defensive units-only would win. Even if it would only be garanteed without trolls imho.

You didn’t account for a lot sleep deprivation starvation zombies don’t have those issues

[@majorkalashinikov1277]

The downfall of the battle for the US was when the right wing got too overstreched and eventually died, making trolls and zombies pour in and destroy the scattered defenses. Also when the main bridge defense got so many kills that the body pile created a bridge over the river for the zombies to cross.

[@speedy01247]

This, had those units instead defended the right flank they could have held.

[@scribeasriel2857]

Agreed

[@sanderdas9401]

@@speedy01247 the zombies would probably break through the center anyway because the body pile creates a bridge

[@johnsmith8906]

The right wing will always be the downfall for the US.

[@isisi6579]

I think it wasn’t over-stretching that got the right flank but at the bridge thanks to the buildings American fire was separated leading to their defeat the Ai should have been less greedy on their approach or noted the problem and pushed forth. “That zombie bridge” also wrecked the Americans because now the zombies could take cover from Sherman and extra definitely not all but extra Thompson fire.

[@Grumbo91]

Dynamic fun battle. One thing I would suggest is I think a timelapse of defenses slowly getting overrun would be more interesting than some of the ones you chose. Focusing on the static rooftop fighters when the other flank was being overrun and missing that collapse entirely was an odd choice.

[@creedrichards137]

In the future, you need to emphasize the static flanks more, and perhaps have a final reserve in the rear. With so many zombies and body piles negating fixed defensive emplacements (and blocking ranged weapons). I think you need to separate your forces in two; the meat shields and the final redoubt in the hills.

[@pierrecurie]

Defense in depth

[@TheRenofox]

My favorite battle thus far! The stations and chokepoints made the terrain interesting, and the attacking shotgunners made the whole thing more dynamic and surprising. I doubt the military would have survived nearly that far if they hadn't pushed through to the side bridges like that!

[@orangegalen]

Might've gone better if you'd had one Sherman on the bridge, two providing support fire from higher elevation, and maybe have a Sherman on each flank attacking with the shotgunners. It was really the trolls and then the body pile(s) hindering line of fire that brought the U.S. down. "We killed so many we couldn't see the rest of them!"

[@xzeratarx]

I had a feeling the body piles were going to be the ultimate undoing for the US. With so many zombies, they'd make their own bridges and the tactical advantage of the defenders would be gone.

[@awesumness15]

I wish you added more shermans to compensate for the number of trolls

[@NJHamilton30]

Loved this video! Absolutely LOVED IT! The surprise entrance of the Trolls was a thrill! You having the units of shotgunners working as counter-offensive really helped out! I think a mix of mobile defenders and a mystery attacker is going to make these battles MUCH more dynamic and memorable 😊

[@phongthepro3448]

Hehehehehehe

[@SupComRaiden2]

The piles are the reason why you want everything on assault. the bit of spreading out they do in order to fire makes things easier.

[@inquisitorialcandidate-1237]

The piles helped the zombies a little, but it the flank which completely destroyed the US. If the main bridge would be set to assualt, they would eventually push out (unlike the left flank, which couldn't because they had less support) and get surrounded after overextending, like the right flank.

[@jjb2004mk2]

If an army assaults into a horde of Zomebies then it spreads out in all directions until the line is too thin and the zombies overwhelm it.

[@xenotypos]

The assault is obviously the main reason they lost. Firepower is everything in this game, since they're no friendly fire. A static concentrated mass is just 100x more powerful. That's actually why the first assault team on that second bridge did so well: they (mostly) stopped moving, overall I mean. And concentrated their fire, by some miracle.

[@Alfawolfehunter]

I would really like to see, if you do this again, a main force on each bridge! If it's supposed to be a bridge defense then each bridge should be defended. So the zombies have to work for the flank. They were spread to thin over all the bridges on this map to give a accurate fight. Great video as always! Love your content!

[@oblivionpb7952]

This video was one of the most interesting UEBS 2 videos you have made

[@AidanS99]

I really think that the Army could’ve won if there were no trolls mixed in. And maybe if more troops were added to the right side attacking force. They did not have enough troops to defend all of those bridges to the right, where as the left all focused on one bridge and probably could’ve kept them at bay if they weren’t surrounded at the end.

[@matthewfriedewald8551]

The Trolls were to much of a force multiplier for the troopers to overcome... fun video to watch brother, thank you

[@jamieb6814]

You should do free for all: god archer, German sniper,god tank,super spartan, Tesla guy I forgot his name (Tesla guy) ,chunk Norris ,German light machine gun?,and any unit of your choice

“A cornered animal is almost as dangerous as a wounded one.” -Cameron Dokey

[@xenotypos]

I didn't believe it was possible as soon as I saw the shootgunners running towards the zombies. No chance to win at at all, despite the ones on bridge2 doing surprisingly well (because they stopped moving, actually), it was kind of a miracle honestly. No troll + static units would probably be a win. If the units are well placed.

[@manny5140]

I don't even know how I didn't know of the existence of these simulators, but you have made me be completely glued to the screen for the last 4 hours. For this battle I knew it was doomed pretty early on, the rate of losses for US was already proportionally higher and then the trolls appeared... RIP. lol love these good job bro

[@endunamoo]

Yeah, the Trolls broke the defense. No trolls, us wins

[@JustAnotherRandomPersonOnline]

I would like to see the same setup with only zombies (5 million) and then the same setup with only 2,000 trolls. I am curious (with the way the body piles were) if it would end up being closer, but still a US loss with only the zombies.

[@NowLoading247]

I love the idea of defending troops with some assaulting troops. Also tanks vs catapults!!

[@Sido7528]

3:16 shoutout to your dog and that squeekie toy in the background haha

[@RedneckRapture]

This looks familiar. Same map, I had the US Army hold with just 2,000 against 5 million zombies. You put shotgunners defending on the bridge itself, with riflemen overlooking them on the shore, and then tanks on either side of them along the river bank. Result I got was not one casualty among the US forces.

[@KirbyZhang]

what about the other bridges, and the body piles?

[@RedneckRapture]

@@KirbyZhang The zombies were killed on the far side of the bridges when I did it. The piles were tall, but the piles also didn't extend far onto the bridges. I haven't tried it with the most recent updates though, my version was before nukes got introduced.

[@LifesGuardian]

Unfortunately, the zombie's numbers were just too big. Trolls helped to soften the U.S. forces, but ultimately I don't think they really mattered. Once the body piles began to form secondary and tertiary bridges where the U.S. forces were weaker, it was over. It certainly didn't help that a huge portion of the U.S. shotgunners went and suicided themselves by taking additional bridges. The first group, sure, they did good. However, the second push on the "right" side shouldn't have happened. Once the first push were routed that plan should've been aborted and shotgunners should've stayed put and ran interference for the SMG gunners. Even then, the zombies numbers still would've overwhelmed them eventually, but it might've delayed the end a bit longer.

[@pierrecurie]

Holding chokepoints is important, so the initial rush for bridges is right. However, it was dumb to charge across the bridge and die.

[@LifesGuardian]

@@pierrecurie The first bridge and the second, sure. When they went for the third though they opened themselves up for flanking on the fourth which was very close by. Could've worked if they'd taken both at the same time, but failing and trying again cost them most of their shotgunners. I agree, crossing the bridges and fighting on the other side was dumb, but it didn't cost as many lives as failing to take the third bridge twice.

[@davidmullins1905]

@@LifesGuardian Someone in the comments said they used 2,000 USA troops vs 5 million zombies. They said they put shotgunners on hold with the rifleman behind them. Supposedly the USA won.

Suggestion.. same/similar bridge defense.. add some snipers (not to uber, but like 800 range-ish, + more damage per shot).. BUT make ALL the attackers TROLLS, plus some MEGA TROLLS (25,000 health, and buffed stats like attack speed). Maybe 20-30 tanks in defense.. and a mix of attack w/shotgunners like you did, plus guard with some, and hold with most.

Next time no trolls, secure all bridges with more shermans, lets watch those zombies cover the river with their bodies.

[@innertubez]

I just discovered these battle simulations. Thanks! They're so fun. If possible I think spreading out 4 Sherman tanks (2 on the main bridge and one to advance on each flank) might help. Also, it looks like 2.5 millions zombies was the tipping point. The US forces collapsed after that. So maybe 30,000 US troops are needed, or maybe 20,000 but positioned differently. Anyway, thanks again.

I actually think it's good they glitch themselves up, otherwise it's unfair as there aren't any genuine ways to get up, so if they patch it then they also need to make it so troops can't stand up in those spots, as they aren't going to edit maps to add stairs at this point.

Using total wars custom battle set up do some difficult seiges either attacking or defending. 3. Show some of the more funny warriors in Epic battle simulator 2 . Like do a massive battle between all the animals. 4. Set up some ranged hero units on top of towers and ro the body pile one the rower rather than the wall.

[@shubashuba9209]

It seems like there are two possible strategies to maximize the effectiveness of the US troops. 1) Bunch up the troops as tightly together as possible in order to minimize the cross-sectional perimeter that the zombies can attack from. 2) Send more assault troops in the beginning to take the flanking bridges asap. Having the units in the back is a waste of firepower because they were too far away to shoot at zombies. They should have been sent to the flanks with the assault team.

Given that the US has range weapons, all they need to do is slowly retreat as zombies approach? The tanks provide covering fire. And target the trolls. Send the frontline as far forward as possible to meet the zombies. (I’d also blow the bridges, but that makes it less interesting. Or you use them as choke points, ignoring the zombies on the shoreline until they begin to walk on water.)
