GERMAN STRONGPOINT vs ALLIED ASSAULT | Gates of Hell

[@robchilders]

An American assault without artillery preparation? Americans loved their artillery and air superiority.

[@joelmonkley6177]

That's right British Aussies kiwis went in without all the fireworks yet still manged to do ok

[@Whitpusmc]

Why waste lives when you can send bullets and bombs? The greatest battleship ever created was destroyed with a lost of 3,000 lives at the cost of a very few planes and less than a dozen lives. Should you spend more lives than needed?

[@joelmonkley6177]

@Whitpusmc tarawa atoll was the size of 5 football fields yet over 1000 us marines and other personal were killed taking the island.

[@bennikdk_4927]

its a game.... one flak 88 mm take out a sherman at 2000 meter . At 1000 meter is 88mm hit nearly 100 % save...

[@5stardetailingllc471]

They aren’t alone. You think the German’s didn’t utilize their 88’s?

[@antoineverso9579]

There is only one thing that is unclear. Why didn't the Americans move covertly to the right of the road, under cover of vegetation, easily getting into the Germans' flank and rear?

[@SturmFuhrerPK]

Because they were confident of a frontal assault.

[@Draussengibtsregen]

Sounds more like a soviet thing to do. US and Brits did arty preparation as others pointed out and then, almost always, flanked a position

[@veetsv1597]

@@Draussengibtsregenthe Soviets employed massive artillery prep

[@bobblacklodge]

The AI is able to move out of the map and then flank the player. That's a real sick move.

[@fraer111]

Maybe that side was landmined densely?

[@nicolausenzweiler346]

Thanks for this. I like watching battles from this game when I'm away from home. Get's me inspired for my next playthrough!

[@bruno-plisken]

Ces nombreuses batailles de la campagne de Normandie sont souvent mes préférées. Et cette cinématique de votre chaîne KZbin en fait partie. Encore bravo et merci SturmFuhrer PK pour cette excellente vidéo , vraiment géniale. 🙏👍👏🏻👏🏻 🫡😉😀 ✨️🥇🎖✨️

[@Moon_Cricket_Stinks]

America mustve left all their artillery at home....oops!

[@wrongtracksuit]

What BS: the Yanks would have pulverised the German position with massed 105 and 155 arty. Americans rarely engaged in frontal assaults without massive artillery and fighter-bomber support….which they used even against individual snipers.

[@marcsmalkin5890]

very good...and not one goddamn ad !...it can be done

[@31terikennedy]

This is nonsense. Base of fire and attack the flanks. If the flanks are protected, you pull back and call-in air strikes and artillery The Germans are on the defensive and in a fixed position. they are doomed. The tanks would not have attacked that way. they would have used cover and indirect fire. The vaunted 75 HE.

[@willietorben560]

True, but it gets worse. Me, all the time: "WHERE THE M4A3(105) AT, FFS?" I mean, the US had LITERALLY a Sherman sub-variant which was DEDICATED for such a situation, and had little other use. Basically a tank-armored almost-direct-fire Priest SPG.

[@eduardoanzolch6078]

"Ha! guys that i know specifically stated that the nearby settlement of [ERROR] is larger i do believe that Santiago de Compostela is larger...."

[@RamblinRick_]

How was this filmed with no player input for the troops on either side? Is is AI fighting AI? Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@michelcivey4887]

There should be a turn based mode for this chaotic game with replay function like it is in the COMBAT MISSION series

[@jasone.4689]

I wish the Devs can implement these type of trenches/earthworks to skirmish missions.

[@roadkill6737]

That music is so nostalgic. Any here played the old blitzkrieg games?

[@Zeus69-hq3oi]

ohhh yes

[@RedCloud-h6f]

Why wouldn't the US infantry move around those tree lines instead of rushing straight towards the blasting guns.?

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

I’d LOVE to play this game!

[@PershingOfficial]

Nice vid man! Seems to be an excellent set up for a defense mission for the workshop 😉

[@SturmFuhrerPK]

I was thinking about posting this to the workshop.

[@fraer111]

Where is the artillery from both sides? Where are the panzerfausts?

[@funstuff2006]

Uhmmm, was the german AI set to "volksturm" or something? A flak 37 and two pak 43s (or are those 10.5s) at "firing over open sight" ranges and the shermans survived sitting infront of them - in plain view - while missing numerous shots?

[@sardaukerlegion]

The US were known to not move without artillery cover.

[@vampi-chan3793]

Yeah, on positions that they knew that there were enemies. This looks like an ambush.

[@SethNordrum]

This would be a super extreme badass game!?!!

[@ExeterCenturion]

Was this built in editor? Only just started playing.

[@SethNordrum]

Can someone tell me what this was !? And if it is a game what for

[@Cubs3344]

weird strong point, usually a light machine gun nest in front while a heavy 8.8mm gun at the back. but this setup is totally reversed.

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

OK ... The Americans are advancing with their recon element in the lead. Recon runs into a German position and the tanks and infantry following them - engage the enemy. The Americans have no idea what they are getting into - until they get into it. By the time they could have gotten a fire mission from their artillery - the thing was over. .

[@ISOTOILETFAN1]

Love your content man keep it up. I wish i had money for the game and liberaton dlc

[@AnNationalist]

Just pirate it

[@ISOTOILETFAN1]

@AnNationalist I tried btw do you have discord by any chance?

Was it not Screaming Eagles Airborne . Easy Company. ( band of Brothers)

[@arthurcuelho7279]

It’s a game. I have spent many hours on this game. It’s fun, but ultimately it’s still just a game. Like at the end those Sherman tanks destroying that 88? Nope I’d have dismounted a few crew and taken it over.

[@benchboss4865]

Nice Vid,, good fire fight....

[@BunnyBun11]

Haha i saw that friendly fire!

[@charleskocun6754]

[@MaxMax-jm3ke]

[@bobrr7598]

No flanking, No artillery, sending in tanks piecemeal?

[@olivergarcia2304]

Wow krass, sieht wie echt aus.

[@BrendonShaughnessy]

The tanks were useless .LOL

[@gerhardswihla1099]

The MG42 on the tripod is to inaccurate.

[@Grandizer8989]

Why? They did that a lot for covering fire

[@gerhardswihla1099]

@@Grandizer8989 The tripod has a scope and moving up and down like the tracers are shown isn't possible if you don't move the whole tripod and this would make the tripod useless. If you want to do it like it is shown than you would use a bipod.

[@temuribntaraghaibarlas3847]

This is complete nonsense. This firing point can only be taken with air power,otherwise all these tin cans would not have fulfilled their task.

[@brianfoley4328]

This is moronic...no American commander sends in lightly armored recon units first and especially without massive artillery prep.

[@blank_white_paper_revolution]

It looks like an ambush 😂!

[@brianfoley4328]

@@blank_white_paper_revolution In real life, any reasonable commander would have scouts out...but not running up a road into such an obvious ambush site. Also, any reasonable commander would lay on artillery support in increments to cover the scouting unit. Third, once the recon unit made contact. they would pull back and call for artillery support...then bring up heavy armor to the point of contact while being covered by supporting fires (and smoke). This game was written by computer geeks with no real armor combat training or experience. It would be a rare bird that had both the computing skills and armor combat experience...but you can at least do a little research into how armor units moved to contact then how to conduct an assault against a fixed position.
