"nothing can survive this tank" yep even it's own transmission

And this is why the zombie apocalypse is unlikely to happen, one tank could clear a whole city

Funny thing is that this may very well be lore-friendly. One of the surviving King Tigers was found home at Fort Knox before being relocated to Fort Benning, this particular one had it's left side cut open to show its interior, but maybe some survivors found it and decided it's a good idea to jury-rig the beast back in working order...

Tbh it's just GTA San Andreas now

Always makes you wonder how the military can lose against zombies

now this is how you de-stress after a good run gets ruined. just clear out louisville with a tank to show those zombies that YOU are the ones with console controls no matter how much the game tells you that the zombies are the "end of the world"

Imagine being a survivor sneaking through the mall looking for supplies, when all of a sudden you hear several large explosions and machinegun fire. You rush towards the noise, believing it to be the military and possible rescue from this nightmare. Only to turn the corner to find a madman in a King Tiger tank, surrounded by a horde, obliterating everything around him while blasting panzerlied. You then proceed to flee in the other direction, realizing that humans are more dangerous than zombies in the apocalypse.

I got a backstory for it; out of the 8 surviving Tiger IIs left-over from WWII. One was transported from a museum over to Kentucky to be converted back into a functional combat vehicle to help survivors. However, as the infection went on, the survivors got overwhelmed and were forced to abandon the vehicle somewhere. Until you found it - it leaps back into the fray to continue where they left off. That's the coolest thing about preserving history like this; it could have a new-found use later on. Epic stuff. I saw this mod awhile ago and I debated on getting it but I might now.

This really does show how ridiculous it is about a non-afflicted mechanized military going up against zombies. Zombies need massive plot armor to win. Edit: Since a horde of virology experts have @ me, let's talk about the pieces of lore the game gives us. It's said before the events of the game, a dark cloud and a bad smell permeated Knox county. This points to some kind of accidental release, but regardless, it means there was advanced warning for some kind of airborne contaminate. The radio host in the game states that "they knew" meaning the government for sure knew the nature of what was happening giving even more time to prepare. And yes, militaries have trained for chemical and biological warfare for decades. So my point still stands that a trained military, especially one with advanced knowledge, would absolutely stomp unintelligent, rotting zombies.

"Oh man... " Explosion. "I feel bad for these zombies..." Machinegun fire. "I don't normally, but I genuinely feel bad for them." Crushing sounds.

holy shit im suprised that the over 78 year old tiger II works and doesn't break down every 4 hours also it's pretty accurate because there used to be a king tiger in fort knox before they transported it somewhere else can't remeber where tho

Imagine being a zombie and seeing a Tiger II(H) from WW2 come after you

Im more curious about how did a king tigre make it to kentucky, im pretty sure there are only like 6 left

This makes me think of the moment in one of the John Ringo zombie novels where one of the characters gets an Abrams tank with canister shot, she literally finds that it clears the zombies so well at one spot that their decomposing brains manage to get enough recognition of threat that the zombies run away in fear. It is the Black Tide Rising series.

As someone currently living in Louisville I can confirm this is a perfectly average day in the city

Nothing like taking your Tiger II (H) for a zombie killing spree very relaxing

Imagine you're a zombie, roaming in the world, killing, eating every thing you saw, tear it apart, and suddenly you hear erika randomly plays and you got blow up

average battle between the soviets and germans ww2 colorized

fun fact: it actully takes an minimum of 2 people to use atank, a tank needs an driver, ammo loader, gunner and a commander to function at its 100%

The more shocking thing is that the King Tiger didn’t break down halfway through

Imagine if there was a mechanic that the transmission will break if you drive the tank for too long.

Wait a minute, this isn't 1944

The fact that he could drive, spot, fire upon the zombies all by himself lmao

The chaos is beautiful, and I'm lovin' it!

Imagine finding a tiger II in the middle of street. Pretty sweet

Love hearing people pronounce my hometown's name. Always fascinating to hear outsider's interpretations of that word. Edit: Also fascinating to see a game dev's reworking of my city as well. Interesting positioning for what is obviously iroquois park, for one thing.

"Do you ever go on a food run, but instead find a tank instead?" OMFG I hate it when that happens...

A tonk: supposed to have at least 4-5 people in a tonk to work This 1 dude: nah😈

Driving and shooting a tank in a zombie apocalypse? Spoodle living the dream right there 😌🙏

"ive used my tank to create hell inside ohio mall" you didn't need a tank for that lol

There was this one scene from a movie where 4 British soldiers with automatic weapons were able to easily dispatch a horde of over 100 zombies, and I think that is a very compelling example as to why a zombie outbreak becoming uncontrollable is very unlikely

The only thing missing is blasting Sabaton to attract zombies faster.

Casually operates a king tiger with only one dude.

4:06 My man Spoodle doing his part to avoid religious controversy!

Everyone gangsta till the transmission breaks

This is why having the virus go airborne was necessary for zomboid to work. The military even with half their brains turned off could wipe out any horde of zombies with the right application of weapons.

This begs the question how much of a tank fighting game can you turn Project Zomboid into

The real question is how in the hell did someone get ammo for this tank

This mod mixed with the True music mod and it's many addons is truly something amazing. You'll never have a better time than blasting zombies or running them over while listening to Toto's Africa down a neighborhood.

Tanks will definitely clear a lot of zombie hordes! it's just perfect.

I gotta think that in a real zombie outbreak anyone who can get armor is going to be the ones to survive. As long as the crew doesn't get infected you got a rolling slab of metal that after the bullets are gone and shells are spend you can just run over the hordes of undead. Get four or five of those in a good size town and you'd clear out most of them in no time flat

HELP I HAVE TO WATCH A 2 HOUR MUSICAL IN SOCIAL STUDIES

The King Tiger 2 without breakdown sure satisfying

Zombies in movies: *blow up an entire platoon of tanks* Zombies in reality: *getting beat the shit out of by a cop with issues at home*

Well, with King Tiger, you would run out of fuel quite quickly. Even in war there was a problem to get eounght fuel for it, let alone in a zombie apocalypse.

"its the best zombie killing machine" transmission and fuel : *im about to end this mans whole career*

Im impressed the transmission didn't broke down

I live in Louisville and i can imagine a zombie apocalypse I see a tiger 2 roling around my home town lmao

King tiger able to drive and shoot and reload at same time while not breaking down every hour that’s impressive with one dude

Can you share your settings please? your game looks like it is running smoothly

Cant wait to play PZ with that tank while blasting "Ghost Division" from Sabaton for 3 hours straight!

I Hope EVENTUALLY The game adds Environmental Destruction like Hatred has. that is by far one of the BEST Parts of that game. that you can drive cars into buildings and stuff and the Buildings will fall apart, catch on fire.. if for no other reason the game is great for just that attention to detail.

im impressed that the Tiger II did not burst into flames or its transmission broke while driving

4:06 😂💀

It just puts a smile on my face seeing a king tiger in my home state

The project zomboid player character is so built different he can function as the entire crew of a tank all at once.

As a German Iam proud Germanys history got attention from Project Zomboid modders💀

Quality content right here

4:06 "what is over here, what is that?" **sees holy church** "um yeah no, im just gonna leave that one alone actually" Jesus > tank

That tank should make road pizza of everything

Zombies: Why do I hear Panzerlied? Spoodle, having learnt some Deutsche: Sag Hallo zum Königstiger!

Remember people this is a video game. Project zomboid gun mechanics don't take real life aiming into account.

bro got that out of an museum

This is insane

My guy "found" a whole ass WWII King Tiger in perfect condition and cleared the whole city

Man i love it when I just find a panzer in the zombie apocalypse

*Apocalypse starts* Some german guy "HANS, GET ZE TIGER"

Thanks for clearing the ground zero of the zombie apocalypse: The grand Ohio mall

This is what the devs had in mind! Exactly

i only have exprince with the tiger 2 on war thunder and..ya that seems kinda spot on ..the coaxuel mg should saw though zoms pretty fast..if the main gun dosint turn 80 at a time into rotting hambuger meat ** begins to play panzerminch **

I've managed to find two of these bad boys all in one file. But, how do you shoot the tanks' weapons in Zomboid?

King of the battlefield

Should’ve used a population of 4.0. The area by the football field north of the race track had about 500 zombies for me.

Nice to see that you are using a panzerkampwagen A ausfwherung B MIT 10.5cm Kapfwagenkanone konigs tiggor!

I'd spawn several tanks and other military vehicles and if possible disable them / destroy them to make it look like the military tried to fight back against the zombie hordes and lost and just leave it all there for other players to find as they run around.

i am amazed on how in 1993 you can find a tank from 1944 in a perfect condition, and operate it single handendly when it needs atleast 4 crew members to operate at full capacity :)

Anyone who thinks a tank could be stopped by a big enough horde of zombies, consider this: Even old tanks have a towing capacity of several tens of tons. The horde would somehow have to be able to exert more than the tank's towing capacity against it as lateral force in order to prevent it from moving forward. That alone is impossible, but even if it weren't, the zombies closest to the tank would just be crushed into a pulp by the ones behind. You could just sit there and wait for enough of the horde to turn itself to mush so that the force it was exerting dropped below your towing capacity, then just casually drive over the remainder.

blud really pulled up with the Tiger II

Give the zombie WW2 flash backs

The Sims is the prequel to Project zomboid ..... brain - 💥 ankles - shattered timbers - shivered hotel - trivago

4:05 Genuine LOL, right there.

Wow, how funny, he found a Tiger 2, ammunition for it, and drive it for a long time without the transmission or engine exploding

man now i want a light tank for instance something like the bt5 in project zomboid

Overwhelm this, swarm that, ohhh...zombie is so scary, tank can't run over them, bla bla bla. THE FLESH IS WEAK! THE MACHINE IS IMMORTAL!

Imagine being a zombie chillin' out in the street and then you start hearing "Ghost Division" playing in the distance. TBH, that's a King Tiger, a very old tank from ww2. A Leopard 2, Abrams or Leclerc would move way faster and have remote controlled machineguns at 360°

Destroying the entire zombie franchise in 8 min with the old but gold Tiger 2

Zombie:hahahaha Jets: ok can you fly?

Ah the good ol Tiger 2 that some how ended up in Kentucky

Combine this with the max population and I see a lot of fun to be had.

*loud tank moving * zombies:.............. *le me BREAKING ONE CAR WINDOW* zombies: CHARGE!!!!!!!

0:05 gives me a flashback to a time where nothing happened.

So as someone with a PhD in Microbiology subspecializing in transmissible viruses, who works with the CDC, I figured I would drop my two cents on why the zombie apocalypse would absolutely happen. My colleague and I, who was in military logistics and strategy before going to college for his degree, have spent many lunch breaks theory-crafting the zombie apocalypse and other EOTW scenarios. After the recent viral pandemic, it's pretty obvious that society would have no chance. Here's how it would go down: Step 1: The viral origin (be it animal, plant or other) is brought in as food or fertilizer to a major metropolitan or urban area. Step 2: Because of the fast-paced nature of food prep in most countries nowadays, things are not always done correctly and if you've ever watched the news segments on restaurant inspections, you'll agree with me wholeheartedly. So the food is either prepped just under the required temperature to sterilize the food, or it is cross-contaminated with either produce or another food product that doesn't require as thorough a cleaning as meats, poultry or fish. Step 3: The exposure event. Some unlucky customer consumes the contaminated product without even realizing it, thus giving us our patient zero. *side note: Most viruses take multiple days, if not weeks or months to gestate in the body before symptoms appear, making patient zero an unknowing vector for a prolonged period. Step 3: Because of their proximity to other people in the urban or metropolitan area, and assuming that the virus isn't airborne to begin with (likely being spread through bodily fluids [sweat, urine, etc.], patient zero ends up exposing thousands, if not tens of thousands of people to the virus before symptoms even occur. Step 4: Now we get nerdy. A "zombie" virus likely wouldn't be a World War Z infection, taking only seconds to turn someone. It would likely be a long process even after symptoms first appeared. Initial symptoms may be as benign as a headache, fever, a persistent cough and possibly nasal congestion as the body tries its best to fight off the virus inside the body. This means that even after symptoms first appear, patient zero may wait weeks or even months to get medical help for the slowly worsening symptoms. Step 5: The nerds screw up. Plain and simple, the doctors at the local hospital are not prepared for what this person is carrying. Not knowing they have patient zero for the apocalypse in their laps, they don't use proper PPE because they assume it's just a flu or some other common ailment. They give the man some fluids, maybe a prescription for some broad-spectrum antibiotics which won't help at this stage, and send them home. Step 6: The nerds screw screw up x2. Because they assume the patient only had the flu or some other benign ailment, they do not take the proper steps to sterilize the waiting room, triage room or hospital ward where he was kept. This leaves the virus to spread amongst the entire hospital as nurses and doctors unknowingly give it a free ride around the entire facility. Step 7: Things get interesting. By this point, the tens of thousands of new vectors have infected millions while the virus lay dormant in their body, leaving them asymptomatic. They go about their days, infecting millions more before their symptoms also reach the point where they feel medical intervention is necessary. Step 8: Now we get a bit morbid. Obviously, infants, toddlers and the elderly are the first to drop, likely from the symptoms of the virus hitting them harder than a person with a healthy immune system. Problem is, they don't stay dead. Assuming this virus works like most other zombie viruses we see out there, after the cessation of life the virus has enough biomass in the body to provide just enough electrical output to the brain to restore our more animalistic functions (eat, sleep, survive). Depending on the variables including how long before the body is reanimated, whether they were embalmed already and whether they were even discovered, you now have possibly millions of meat suits waking up after expiring. Step 9: The nerds with guns screw up. While the previous step is occurring in relatively small instances, the CDC is doing their own research into the virus to try and figure out what it is, after learning of the deaths, however they most likely haven't begun studying the reanimation yet. Step 10: It's already everywhere. As we've seen throughout history, the more mobile a society is, the easier it is for a virus to spread. The world we live in is like a bus pass for the virus, taking it around the world hundreds of thousands of times before we are even aware it exists. By this point, both the CDC and government/military are aware of it but are trying to keep it contained, not knowing that quarantine at this point is likely impossible. Step 11: Can't trust anyone. The reanimated meat suits will spread the virus through your campy horror tropes: bites, scratches, etc. However, my colleague and I agree that by the time world governments are taking the issue as seriously as they need to, they would fail to realize that almost everyone on the planet is infected by this point, and here's why: Step 11: Viral mutation. Yeah, we're getting nerdy again. Viruses are single-celled organisms whose sole purpose is to survive, reproduce and spread. Because of this, viruses have a tendency to mutate due to the millions of replications thay take place every minute once they are actively infecting a person. All it takes is one mutation for the virus to become airborne, and this mutation is more likely due to the confined nature of most people in this day and age. Step 12: The End. Much like in the Walking Dead, it becomes an "everyone is already infected" situation. Even someone who is a carrier, i.e. someone who is totally asymptomatic while carrying the virus, will reanimate upon cessation of life. No one knows this, and by the time they do, the chains of command, major governments and local municipalities will likely have succumbed to the first wave of the infection, leaving only those "walking dead" to try and eke out a life for themselves in the ruins of society. TL;DR: All it takes is for these very common criteria to be met for a "zombie virus" to bring the world to its knees over the course of a couple of years. By the time anyone took it seriously, the majority of the world would already be infected, and once they start succumbing to the virus, panic and social collapse would leave very few people behind who could actually do anything about it. So yeah, my colleague and I agree that if a virus like that ever made it to a major city, we'd pretty much be SOL as a species.

ah yes cant wait to see PZ be turned in a ultra realistic ww2 squad shooter throught mods.

Further proof why the military could easily handle a Walking Dead style apocalypse.

Have you tried the Metro map mod? Amazing af

You know the thing that is most unrealistic, it’s not the zombie apocalypse, but the fact that the king tiger was still in top condition and it didn’t break down the moment you started it

I love how you just "find" a tiger 2

im just thinking the army is just watching one man with a satellite doing what the military could not

Now I'm super excited to find a tank of my own to abuse.

From all the tanks you could have Put in the game... It Was a Tiger II H? I mean... The Transmission broke often when it was New... Now its 80 years old 💀
