ROCKET ARTILLERY BOMBARDS LINE DEFENSE! Custom Gates of Hell Battle

Game: store.steampowered.com/app/40...
Biggest, most epic and brutal battle to date! Soviet rocket artillery "Katyusha" will relentlessly bombard the German trenches and defenses during this all-out Soviet attack. Heavy tanks, self-propelled field guns and guards infantry will storm the fortifications and try to push the Germans back along the Black Sea coast. 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.

[@mur4uder513]

The commentary makes the video even better. "More blood needs to be shed" *evil laughs*

[@castelleon]

Diplex's sanity seems to be slipping...

[@chaptermasteraltethius]

Rocket artillery... The stuff that'll kill you, the guy next to you and the guys in the next grid square.

[@rodzilla7310]

Is it possible to have a night battle with just tracer shells for all weapons? That would be epic!

[@headlessguy8733]

Noooooo

[@rowanantonypajuluoma9421]

Yesss

[@dgraham3559]

You need to keep doing the thing where whenever you find a soviet soldier with an officers cap you say Commissar. I love that haha

[@LordoftheSwamp1269]

You: I wonder how many soldiers I got killed in my videos? Me: Probably so numerous that you can talk in 3rd person.

[@MegaRagingBunny]

man that rocket artillery was deadly

[@Anarchy_420]

5:15 Diplex's Evil Yoda Voice!😂😂

[@SabresMafia]

Again @ 8:30 lol!

[@OdraudMaster]

The game really evolved a lot, can't wait for it to leave beta. But something that is still very frustating, is the tanks ia indecision to select targets 😂😂😂

[@jackyzou630]

And the fact that tanks often in an unrealistic manner turn and expose their side armour to enemy tanks and AT guns that the tankers can clearly see and get destroyed.

[@OdraudMaster]

@@jackyzou630 also that

[@iamyoutoobz1403]

The sounds are always beautiful

[@Hetzerg]

Couldnt agree more. It is a major upgrade to men of war and it increases the immersion of war.

[@rosameltrozo5889]

Have you thought about using realistic trenches? as in reading the literal German army manuals and trying to follow their instructions.

[@OneAndOnlyKJx]

That would be super cool

[@shaundymond9432]

He starts the battle around the 7:30 mark. But don't worry he pretty much talks through the whole damn video. Lots of silly accents as always.

[@donjasjit]

Truly, a mad battle. Thank you so much for giving it to us.

[@ferriesinfocus5003]

That guy with the Panzerschreck at 34:00 just keeps firing at infantry after losing all tank support. He gets the award for sharpest tool in the box XD

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

I like the scale on this one. Yes it's crazy but the amount of armor and infantry spread over a large map is great. A big battle on a small map feels too confined where destroyed tanks just stack on top of each other. So next time when you have a lot of troops, choose a big map like this.

[@dylanmilne6683]

Nice. Reminiscent of a scene from the film 1944 forced to fight with the Soviet tank attack v german trenches.

[@thepracticalinvestor2386]

Hey Diplex, I’m glad you’re still uploading similar content to before. I remember the good old days when I would stay up until 2 am and watch your custom battle videos back in 2016. Anyway, I hope you are still having fun with the custom games and I’m glad that I can get back to binge watching your content again!

[@Flamenche5]

That has to be the best battle I've ever seen! It almost seemed like it was anyone's pyrrhic victory all the way up until the end. From the vantage points in the trenches looking out at the throngs coming at you, I can only imagine what they must've seen and felt at Kursk. War is hell.

[@stevengayer3420]

Bro I thought you were trying to wait for that pack to shoot and then you’re like all right drink break LMAO

[@jamesg2382]

Wow, thanks you're doing a great job of showing off this game. This is amazing, great job.

[@sryan5512]

It would be cool to see a late war german assault to try and break out of an encirclement. Encirclements became common as the Russians steamrolled back through Poland.

[@darthcalyx8986]

"I wonder how meny men have died in my videos" there is probably some mad lad of a math mathematician who is keeping track

[@agraham9356]

Awesome battle I cannot wait to get the editor!

[@champer423]

The sound design of gates of hell is so great :D

[@spiffywolf2850]

The reason the ferdys are on the flat ground is because historically they couldn't go up hills without there engines exploding or transmission failing. There is this one story I think it was the Americans defending some hill as the Germans pushed up there ferdys and being hunkered down they started hearing explosion's which they thought was artilery but when they peaked on up they saw it was the ferdys engines exploding as they advanced up the hill with pillars of smoke coming from the vehicles.

[@Coolman-qv3bg]

Starts at 7:41

[@friend7485]

Great video man keep up the good work

[@Hetzerg]

The german with the panzershrek that knocked out the massive tank was a hero

[@mr.monhon5179]

And so was that dude firing Katyusha rocket while just recklessly cruising forward. Dude didn't even care if he's gonna get hit by a tank.

[@renegadesurvivalist_9041]

that rocket launcher guy at 32:55 is going ham lol

[@actionswon9478]

I can HEAR THAT ENERGY

[@stormgetsbilled6309]

your energy >

[@Macomio80]

19:05 did he just light up his comrade? haha!

[@sztallone415]

I think beheld is a word, the past tense, and the passive of behold. Examples: A sight to behold. / The action beheld by us.

[@ComradeMarkavich]

The Ferdinand came before the Elephant, you can tell which ones what by the coaxial MG, which the Ferdinand doesnt have, that came latter in the war along with some other upgrades, then they were renamed Elephants. Alot of cool history behind that tank destroyer. 11-1 K/D Ratio during the war give or take.

[@MrMicronano]

Enjoy your videos. Just letting the battle play out mostly hands off like watching real WWII combat.

[@mlgassassin41]

I love the flame thrower we need more of them

[@andrehanekom5665]

This game looks awesome is definitely my next steam purchase

[@thelizardofoz3358]

I can see why you don't use rocket artillery much, so devastating to ground troops and trenches!!! Great video though, absolutely loved it!!!

[@BritGamingchanel]

best one so far

[@masafelipe7033]

Beautiful stuff

[@mangrizky_073_mbi2]

Great video!

[@OCinneide]

The static recording would be great! maybe turn on the casualty markers with it.

[@billythegoat6279]

That was great

[@castelleon]

Love seeing flamethrowers finally working.

[@lagasta6707]

good vid love it

[@arlecks3718]

hey man, how do you access the editor for gates to hell? i can't find it

[@DarkSabre-nn2cz]

MORE MORTARS DAMN IT!!! never enough mortars in a defensive battle!!! And more MG's too.

[@jackyzou630]

Man, I love those massive-scale 1944 Eastern Front battles. I like seeing T 34-85s and IS tanks going front to front with German Panthers and Tigers. At least they got some chance of penetrating Panther's current and frontal armour, so it wouldn't be a complete massacre of Soviet tanks like in 1943. Would also love to see another Operation Begration video too.

[@Ishen32]

Damm this was a good battle

[@BisonWilliam]

It would be really cool to see some Russian OT-34's. The Russian's replaced the hull machine gun on several T-34/76 companies with flamethrower. Really nasty tanks.

[@bjw6877]

19:06 One of the flamethrower troops ignites a friendly

[@elmacho7087]

20:45 got hut so hard that head didn't know where to go lmao

[@sxlency5190]

that intro hits everytime, what song is that?

[@AvatarVader]

Lol that German at the end that was just pumping out Panzerschreks.

[@jl9416]

I recommend you download hangem highs soundscape on the call to arms workshop and apply it to the editor battles it will add to the ambiance, and make battles sound even better

[@Algebrodadio]

This game is beautiful. And also ... horrifying.

[@AT-rr2xw]

I guess that it does not necessarily require a ridiculous number of Soviets to defeat the Germans, just a ridiculous amount of rocket artillery.

[@ArtOn_4k]

4:43 gold

[@projected7582]

I think this mans is cracked

[@Capayy]

All of these comments saying the video is great, 1 second after it was uploaded not even enough time to watch it lmao. Ill say hope it is as good as the others!

[@lurtri]

How do you access the editor I have the beta and I don’t have access to it

[@jhongabrielcastillo8052]

Ohhhh. So this was the story that i have seen 😂

[@Anarchy_420]

Can we get a line defense battle that includes Nebelwerfer's vs Katyusha's

[@Anarchy_420]

Lol including but obviously not limited too ;)

[@Luna-cw4cz]

Just so you know. The PZ IV J ist just a shittier version of the H. The H pretty much is the best version of the IV

[@first-aid5048]

lol the soldier shooting the rocket 33:15

[@matteocristoforetti4271]

That katusha was a bit disapponting to be honest

[@gazbomber4700]

i wonder how long till we have games like hell let loose on this scale, itll be insane

[@brucewilson4200]

Maybe do the/a bonus static POV video for Berlin; watching the Soviet onslaught drawing inexorably closer as both sides tear the city down in the crossfire?

[@Nurgle66]

What is the song at the intro?

[@Gorsky69]

In reality, the Soviet troops plunged the germans and romanians into a boiling hell, liberating the Crimea in 1944 . The "Crimean Offensive Operation" began on april 8 and ended on may 12, 1944 with the complete defeat of the wehrmacht's 17th army and the romanian divisions . The idea of the Crimean operation was to use the forces of the Soviet troops to launch a simultaneous attack from two directions in the general direction of Simferopol and Sevastopol, to dismember and destroy the enemy group, preventing its evacuation from the Crimea.

[@rileym.4434]

I was the gunner for a 120mm mortar system when I was in the army. The impact radius of a 120mm HE round is 60-65 meters

[@Hetzerg]

Wow thats a big impact radius i must say. Scary

[@bobcarl2607]

Can you save these battles as skirmish missions to download? I like your battles

[@eduardolacaba1393]

It's more fun at night battle it feels like you're watching action movies.

[@darijoa1832]

War never ends for some people 😅

[@kenc9236]

Another great video. I think you have 433 thousand kills. lol

[@antoniomartinez1031]

The german dude with the panzerschrek at 13:22 deserves an iron cross😂

[@xTwixix]

Did a bullet shell bounce of the shield at 13:20 ?! Madlad

[@antoniomartinez1031]

@@xTwixix didnt even see that first time around but i think it was a bullet a madlad indeed

[@donjasjit]

This battle reminds me of my favorite mod for MOWAS called Neverending Battles. In that you had to defend prepared positions against hordes of enemy troops. In terms of graphics, realism and overall fun, the battle in your video seems much better than that mod.

[@Hetzerg]

Because this is a newer game i suppose

[@gabrielefollano1787]

Nice vid👌🏻

[@first001]

amazing battle. Can we have a german counter attack with soviet defense? We haven't seen late war soviet defense with german attack.

[@onebritishboi9892]

Could the 122 neutral turn like it did in this video?

[@hetzijzo5601]

Is it possible to play missions by now in gates of hell?

[@joaotome9957]

Are there any PAK 43 in game? You could include a few in late 1944 until early 1945

[@iannebraska1250]

No dislikes good

[@blitzkrieg-pmkc852]

Battle start at 7:40

[@Mrchallenor]

7:32 battle start

[@Mrchallenor]

Love watching your battles bud

[@delvo9976]

Bro said "knackered" 💀

[@TheRingoism]

The sounds and distance ambiance are really good, animations too but the particle effects I'd say aren't as good as Valour mod or Robz for AS 2, at least atm anyway

[@Lertgotyoi]

Sorry I'm late ik put on watch later because I had school work

[@h0mest0ned]

The statick camera should be a time laps with tracers

[@user-km5xu8om7r]

Katyusha~! Katyusha~!

[@billcosby2216]

7.31mins untill the battle starts hahahahah

[@WOLFGANG1125]

Is gates of hell gonna be a separate game sold at full price or is it going to be an expansion for call to arms?

[@paulbacher8818]

You need to have at least the Basic version of Cta so I‘d say it‘s an expansion

[@michaelarmstrong9722]

21:17 Truck: fire at will

[@Geister7]

Is there any bunkers or armoured trains? That would be fun

[@nicknewman8354]

Do an alternate history series

[@jannekonitzer7010]

this big defensiv line have decently mined if this was reality

[@ANO-.-NYM]

Game looks good, only wish that the battlefields were bigger- like in Graviteam Tactics. I don't like the simulation of artillery being so close to the front lines.

[@Tmaxxnc]

do you think there will ever be any 40k mods for Gates of Hell ?

[@jacksheldon8566]

This will depend on how goh devs will handle their game update and the moddability.

[@ivanelias3916]

yeah that would be cool

[@matp5760]

I just love you

[@skipdreadman8765]

😶

[@tomaszkrawczyk9344]

Which factions are implemented currently?

[@themortimusprime9012]

USSR and Germany. They plan to add other factions after release though.

[@matthewwagner47]

The Germans were the ones who invented mobile rocket artillery. They mounted towed 6 barrel rockets launchers on half tracks an used against the russians effectively.
