EPIC BRIDGE CROSSING BATTLE! Custom Gates of Hell Editor Battle

Game: store.steampowered.com/app/40...
Back after the Easter with another easter(n) front battle! We're using another part of the map we used for the previous battle, previously unseen. Soviets are attacking German defenders a few days after their previous victory a few miles away from this crossing. It's hotter, so the greatcoats are off. Suns out, guns out. Enjoy!
Note: All my maps and battles are modified/not part of the original game and does not represent the finished product. Everything you see is yours to experience if you so wish to create it. My version of the game contains no third-party content. Some videos/battles may contain footage of edited damage models and gun ranges. Everything is created in the GEM game engine's editor, allowing me to make fully custom battle simulations.

Due to current living arrangements at the country place I've had to share the same room as my dad, and that man snores like the engine of a Sturmtiger. Combined with hard labour over several days and lack of sleep, I've yet to recover from the Easter weekend. I may sound a bit tired and sloppy at times, but rest assured, I enjoyed the making of this video. Thanks for watching, I'll be more lively in the next one!

[@awesomeperson7236]

Good video no worries diplex :)

[@tn4263]

Still dishing out amazing content. Thank you for your dedication I really appreciate it!

[@TheJake88231]

Idk why but every fucking Dad snores like a bear. My dad always snored like crazy (sharing a tent was hell). Pretty much soon as my brother became a dad he started to annoy his wife.

[@DiplexHeated]

@@TheJake88231 That's hilarious.

[@goldbird0315]

Quality over quantity, dont push yourself and if you need to take a break we understand. Thank you for the great content and I hope you do more of these battles.

Poor fella even got a shell dropped on him

[@stratojet94]

I love the artillery effects in this game. The explosions and sounds are so realistic. I’d love if you included some more howitzers or even bisons in a future battle. Maybe even the soviet heavy spgs.Cheers!

[@rollingrocks8802]

16:00 cinematic af. WW2 movie feels

[@marekkohel8911]

That rear guard action was fantastic!

[@SabresMafia]

The explosions and destruction are so good. When the Stug lit up, it was just like what I've seen from real war footage. Incredible details! Wish more games had destruction and animations like this. Mortar/Artillery hits look phenomenal as well, I like how the debris lingers. Similar to real life in many ways. Great battle Diplex! (:

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

I just want to let you know the extra time you spent scripting the convoy movement is really well worth it. It looks amazing! it brings a lot of dynamic to the battles

[@PrisonMike-_-]

This is undoubtedly the most cinematic footage I've seen of this game and we are super grateful for you Diplex

[@rustyshackleford3917]

This game looks so damn detailed it’s incredible

[@ludvigs2389]

The weather gets crazy here in Sweden in april, it could either be a really sunny day or snowing.

[@Kamir74]

Same in North Germany my friend, really weird :D

[@TheBigZam]

Same here in North England at the moment. Global warming makes every year a little worse/different

[@niepowaznyczlowiek]

Same in southern Poland

[@ludvigs2389]

Seems like this is common around the world

[@OverwatchExtractor]

This makes me all the more excited to play skirmish or vs bots. It's a shame the devs haven't granted us access to that in the beta yet.

[@Slim_Ch4rles]

This is quite an impressive game. Great job putting this scenario together I was blown away by all the moving pieces of the battle

[@Solidinius_Snake]

20:16 I remember I've read in some memoirs about the same scene. A b-4 cannon directly hit a tiger at Kursk, the tank was turned into a burning pile of scrap metal that barely looked like a tank, it was annihilated

[@fraggedful]

Feels like im watching old Diplex. Glad you found a game you actually enjoy making content for. Been watching you since 2016

[@lachlanf4842]

What's crazy is that a lot of battles in the eastern front and pacific, looked similar to this. Bodies everywhere and burnt out wrecks.

[@masafelipe7033]

This is so friggin good, I get movie, saving private Ryan-esque vibes non stop. Great stuff. Finally some more substantial number of infantry.

[@ryangreenwood433]

That mortar crew started getting really accurate againt tanks near the end of the battle

[@saamkapadia]

so happy that you are uploading again diplex! could we get a tug of war battle in a town or something? that would be sick!

[@Retetop]

The carnage and destruction and level of detail is really pleasing

[@Gabucks1]

Every game: German paks shoot like automatic machine guns, every tank attacking shoots every ten minutes and doesnt return fire...

[@angelv.5546]

1 minute , 8 minutes, or 30. Your videos are very entertaining. Keep up the good work ese.

[@christophero55]

Forget gates of hell, how about Bridge of Hell?! Good lord this was brutal. Great video, best of GoH vids so far. Loved the close in camera shots. More pls!

[@lagasta6707]

Love your videos Diplex! You convinced me to get Men of War all those years ago and I can't wait to get my hands on this lol

[@lavandalunda7328]

You can get your hands on this. But you have to bay call to arms. Not the free version. Than you can play the open beta on steam ( sorry for bad English)

Sadly, their is no Mods for this game yet. Maybe in call to arms.

[@stormmount3328]

I'm not sure what it is about light armored vehicles but I just love them and their variants, but I realize that they always get knocked out early on. I'm stoked that that Puma survived and put in work on the German side lol.

[@paultanker5606]

G'day ,Thank you for a brilliant ww2 Movie!

[@gamer-1100]

27:00 Jesus the shells. That's cool that they don't despawn. hope the tanks don't either after their destroyed like in MOWAS2.

[@Soulliquor]

I agree, the new FOV looks really nice. Also really like your recent uploads in general- doesn't matter if it's the russians or germans, but they give as good as they get.

[@anthonyjones7609]

I like the complexity of terrain.

[@brettimkopp7514]

Hervorragende Aussprache.

[@allenliu8820]

in irl i feel like the defending team would have explosives ready to detonate the bridge

[@allenliu8820]

@chico well having explosives on the bridge would be a safety precaution as if the bridge is captured by enemy hands it can be blown up causing the attackers valuable time and resource to build the bridge

[@christopherrossa1619]

Really liked this one, a MG emplacement or two wouldn't have hurt though!

[@andrewwesley1687]

Ah yes, let me use my best friend as cover from enemy fire, that's proper use of soviet doctrine

[@sztallone415]

i mean, you have more comrades than actual cover, so it's pretty logical

[@andrewwesley1687]

@@sztallone415 America has sandbags, Germany has metal armor, Russia has more and more soldiers

[@janhapunkt266]

Awesome work!

[@MrSergiXD]

I feel like they used a lot of weapon sounds from the first Red Orchestra, nice video btw!

[@manualteirac9817]

I really like the water go inside the new mortar crater. Tiny details than reveal great game.

[@cookudysu90]

The stretchers barbers and Grave diggers would be knackered after that amount of dead and wounded needing collecting.

[@xjuliussx]

man i love this game but i have no time to play it. incredible

[@Pbnation117]

For the future you can place static units like msg and mortars into fox holes it adds a bit aesthetically and adds some more cover they actually function pretty good in them especially the mortars!

[@kiffar]

Okay, okay, I will buy Call to Arms! You and Shermanator can stop trying to convince me. Installing the beta now!

[@Pbnation117]

I think you need to figure out a way to make the attacking armor more effective the t34 at the end was a great example that showed they'll spend the whole time switching through shells trying to pick a target till they die when they could've decimated multiple targets already

[@jameskeen510]

This is so awesome!!! Great Job Kamerad! Greetings from Germany.

[@RD-lg8sd]

I remember when I watched diplex way back in the day I miss the tug of war battles

[@quintonthesecond4420]

For a future video could you try a battle using an increased damage model? I’m really curious to see what ‘hardcore’ looks like in GOH

[@zakaryperrin7126]

Awesome scripting!! I loved the beginning of the battle

[@vreevroow]

I like the weapon sounds out of red orchestra.

[@rusAdeptuS]

Damn tanks did a little only shooting machinegun, thats was so painfull to watch. They ignore stug and AT gun...

[@kurtkwidor2758]

Man this is epic

[@jessewampler1081]

Hey dude always stoked to see your videos, makes me think that I can play it as well as you do, until I play a mission and get overwhelmed and lose..... but I want to know what band you have playing for your intro’s. I have a feeling we might be listening to the same thing as we play MOW2 aloha from Hawaii

[@TheBigZam]

There really ought to be CAS to call in via radio men.

[@andrewmonster9985]

glad to know that in Sweden its getting better while in Ireland its snowing

[@EpsilonNPC]

That stug really turned the tide of battle. Without it the eoviet armor could hv done so much more damage.

[@cookies5558]

Wunderbar

[@user-mp4ig3oo7x]

Очень круто получилось!😃

[@KLCHRTM]

that was cool

[@stealthincognito3321]

Should've counter attacked and annihilate that soviet gun.

[@twm0904]

Love your videos, would it be possible for you to do a video of Soviet Assault Sappers vs an SS fortification

[@sztallone415]

Nice video! How difficult is it to use the editor?

[@benjamindover2601]

The AI in this game is refreshingly good.

[@Skringly]

Vehicle AI is still pretty wonky. Has a habit of randomly decided to turn side on towards attackers because it randomly spots an infantryman off to the edge of the fight.

[@peribe438]

Great

[@longrui7248]

The game is looking good. Though I hope they can implement better and more realistic building destruction physics. They still look the same as in MOW.

[@aurelienpidoux7990]

remind me of those tough Bridges of Druzhina ;-)

[@darkguild69]

Awesome video as usual but could you turn up the game volume for the next video. It seemed really quiet for some reason. I know it's mostly so we can hear you narrate but I think it could be turned up a little louder and we would still have no problem hearing you.

[@chazzmccaig9309]

You should do more Bridge battles with a defense way

[@reefjoubarani8535]

YES

[@garfunkle37]

Amazing work! A) Can we play these custom missions you've made? B) How would I edit my on missions?

[@darkaperion1583]

The game would be sick with physics. For example if a soldier got shot on the edge of a crater and the body rolled down

[@retr0bits545]

Captured t-34 maybe for the next part? Or maybe some captured soviet equipment like that big soviet gun? I would like to see some captured equipment though.

[@Flan17]

When the game is released can we expect you to upload your work to the workshop? I would love to learn the editor from your maps and scenarios and also show my dad some of your work without commentary and player intervention.

[@DiplexHeated]

I will upload every single battle I've made until the day of release onto the workshop so that everyone can study the scripts etc.

[@Kyawn88]

Great video, is this a full AI vs AI battle? How much involvement do you have in the battles?

[@sergeym300]

Было эпично!

[@somenextguy4944]

The Panzer IV was still active using the machine gun in the front the turret was just knocked out hence the T-34 targeting it

[@berrymcockiner3906]

More detail after the action!

[@comradekenobi6908]

can we get a German assault next? I'm sick of seeing Soviet Assaults :(

[@freetolook3727]

Do you micromanage the units or do they move and fight on their own?

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

man, I really wouldnt want to be one of the dudes stuck in a trench in *front* of the muzzle of a Pak 40. OVERPRESSURE FOR EVERYONE

[@hermesrocha7803]

You should script a battle for the bridge at Romelle scene from Saving Private Ryan.

[@RoxxiMoxxi2024]

Pls show us how you script so we can do some, it would be fun creating scenarios of our own with scripting!

[@atlejosde]

Those germans @21:32 were going for the Iron Cross to the death, one way or another! Thanks DiplexHeated!

[@Neon-cj1ir]

Is it just me or are those different death animations cause I’ve never seen them before, is there like an update or mod that I need?

[@adamm.6595]

Can the bridges be blown up? It would be cool to see that and how the AI would react.

[@shoestergaming3466]

Hey diplex I’ve been watching for a long time and I have a vid suggestion I think you should do a battle that would be accurate to if the Cold War actually happened or the siege of jadotville

[@Mr1337NAB]

Canister shot for the small caliber at guns would be great for late war period. That way they could be still useful against infantry. Don't know how doable that would be in terms of coding and stuff...

[@TheRai1995]

I cant figure out how to play editor in this game. can somone help me please? :(

7:10 If i was one of those german soldiers. I would just lay down and play dead. I mean, wtf, who puts 2 dudes with rifles AAAAAAAAALLLLL the way the duck out there. As someone who plays Post Scriptum, i say those 2 t-34's lived waaaaaaaaaaay longer than they should have.
