For the first few hours the americans had virtually no chance, only when the heavy naval artillery intervened the balance of power began to tip in favor of the americans. As the day went on, more and more tanks made it to the beach and the deadly 8.8 cm guns were destroyed. In addition, the germans simply ran out of ammunition, but some positions like WN 62 where Heinrich Serverloh was on the MG 42 still held It lasted for a very long time and repeatedly caused the americans very heavy losses.

Indeed, the 1st and 2nd waves were virtually annihilated and or taken out of combat effectiveness. The 3rd, and 4th waves were badly bloodied but enough soldiers were able to get up the beach to start mounting offensives on German defensive positions, either laying down covering fire for troops on the beach or taking them out of action completely. Across all beaches including those of the Commonwealth some 26 attack waves were planned. There are stories of German soldiers crying and being sick as they shot the Americans dead on the beaches. As are there of American soldiers who state that the Germans purposefully pinged the door of their Higgins boats, as a nice reminder that once that door drops they are all getting sprayed. War truly is hell.

It only worked bc we successfully fooled the Germans in thinking we were assaulting a different portion of France. If it was for that there would have been tens of thousands of more defenders on that beach head and the assault would have failed.

@@hansrudelrudel5191you Russians are lucky we Americans decided to get into the war. If not for us you would have had to fight the entire German Reich and would have eventually lost. Be happy

I visited Omaha Beach back in 2010 and I also have to say they did a really good job of depicting this part of the beach in particular - it really looks like it does in real life.

🫡

Yep, it really is ;)

One reason it's not included - I have read - is mostly for game balance. Being an MG in this game sucks, as you're taking all the flak from the enemy - as was expected IRL. But having to fire in short bursts and change barrels out would render the class even less effective. Plus, each box contains about 100 rounds, too. So you're not firing too much as it is. Usually I am getting my head popped by a Sniper by the time I've even deployed the bipod, lol.

Thanks mate ;)

Thanks ;)

Thanks bro ;)

It's annoying how hard it is to get this map while in queue. Meanwhile I'm getting North Africa three times a night 😂

Same. Breaking immersion to try to dodge bullets is so lame.

That's because they're different genres of of shooting games? HLL, Squad, S44 are all tactical milsims whereas Battlefield and CoD err on the side of arcade shooters. That's analogous to comparing different fruits saying one is better than the other, which really isn't. The only real difference is your preference.

Also no kids screaming in the chat or the lobby. This game tends to attract a mature crowd

390 Meter... Thats not really far. Not for the MG42.

I've never experienece an MG42. Perhaps I should because I've never had a situation where I get 8x zoom from simply looking down the iron sights. It must be true because it says realistic.

170 grain 7.92x57 factory loads indicate approximately 50" drop at 380 yards. Nothing remarkable about the MG42 over a simple kar98 ballistically. @@markbenelli7569

@@markbenelli7569 At this distance, this machine gun had a much higher dispersion. So that's not realistic...

@@jimknowlton342have u played the game? you can’t zoom like that, it’s edited for your viewing

It would make sense only for the point in the beach. This is an Offensive mode, which consists on 5 points one faction has to defend. If the defending faction holds a point for 30 minutes, the game is over, if the attacking faction captures it, the timer resets and the next point becomes available and the previous point gets locked under the attacking team's control. So the numbers advantage would make sense only for the beach point which is the 1st one, but not so much for the remaining 4 points. Actually Omaha and sometimes Utah Beach end in the 1st point because it's kinda hard running through the beach and forcing your way into the point to capture it.

For realistic point it would make sense but for game point its not. The beach is the only hard part of the map after u got secure the first point you just run over to the enemy if there is not enough player on the german side.

Are you joking? Have you ever even played hell let loose? Omaha beach offensve results in allied capture of the first point within 10-15 minutes every game@@Parafunk

True

He's adding additional zoom by editing, but in the game you can increase the zoom on your iron sights with the Hold Breath button. There's technically a "sniper" class in HLL but honestly any veteran player with a bolt-action or semi-auto rifle is pretty much a sniper with their iron sights.

Have you actually heard an MG42 in real life? Because this is, bar none, the best MG42 sound I have heard in a game before. I have seen them fired, an actual WWII MG42, not the MG3, and it is impressively close here.

Let me provide some insight: the same people that funded the Axis side to kick off WW2 also funded the Allies side. Hitler would not have accomplished anything without the wealthiest of families funding him. Rothschilds, Ford, etc... those people are the only winners and their families still rule the world today. Look no further than the WEF to find some of them.

Absolutely not. There's a reason they banned Swastikas and tore down anything related to Hitler.

@@spoileralert8440 For anyone wondering, there's hardly any evidence to support these claims, it's the generic WEF conspiracy nut that takes everything said in the worst possible way and gives heavy benefit of doubt to supportive evidence while discounting more legitimate and numerical evidence.

Im English.....Not sure what French stories you have heard. They were all in Spain on holiday. De Gaulle after spending the war on holiday in England had the cheek to say "vive La France". For me the most hillarious story of WWII was De Gualle being absolutely furious with the USA for printing money, yup USA printed French Francs and gave them to the soldiers.....haha

It allows the shooter to follow the path of the bullet relative to the target in order to make corrections to his or her target.

It's a pattern. In WW2 almost every machinegun belt had 1 tracer per 5 standard bullets. That way they can track the bullets.

yea... and give away their position ​@@lucasferreira2073

​@user-tf4ho2uo1e You absolutely cannot see tracer rounds coming at you lol

the gun would be far too OP if it didn't use tracer rounds. tracers balance it out by making it easier to spot the guy. without it people would not be able to leave spawnpoints so long as there's an LMG pointed at it.

I actually had to look that up 200 sounded way too often, but I suppose with that massively high fire-rate it makes sense. That's allot of downtime, 200 rounds would zip right by in a MG-42.

@@mikejohnson555no way it’s 200 prob more every 2,000

@@Briley-gc8wnNo its not 2000. Its not about the fact the barrel is gone, its just overheated. But historically the invasion wasnt a "storm" of never ending boats. They came in waves. There was quite some downtime between the attacks. From the start of the attack at Omaha to the actual "gave up" of WN62 it took almost 7 hours. So one MG42 there shot around 10000-12000 rounds with two barrels. Which were gun after that, but they held.

Can you explain the difference between facing the beach and facing down the beach?

@@Omer-di1bl What he meant was that the positions always had their field of fire along the beach and not at a 90 degree angle to the shore. But I don't understand his explanation. The real explanation for this is that this means you are hitting something or providing suppressive fire with almost every shot. At a 90 degree angle most shots go into the water...

It's a game

Actually it is realistic and your facts are wrong. The artillery ended up firing at all of the beach and what firing positions they could see before they even stormed the beach but the Germans didn't loose a single man during that because they were under cover and also they had planned for beach bombing but there was fog that morning and the bombers ended up missing their targets as far as a mile instead of dropping below the cloud cover they opted not too because of heavy flack. Once they started storming the beaches the ships were ordered to stop fire against positions but one ship did disobay orders and almost ran aground to help support the infantry and bomb enemy fortified positions the uss O'Brian saved 1000 lives because they disobeyed orders get your facts strait

the germans didn't get hit because we missed lol@@AustinVestal

Keep in mind that the Germans actually lost on D-Day.

@JohnnyRico118 yeah, I know. But not before a lot of troops were mowed down on those beaches.

Grow up. The german military was just doing what it was ordered to do by the political elite, just like any other military. They weren't all nazi's. It would be like calling today's U.S. military "democrats" since that is the party in control right now.

I had a Patient once. He was the sweetest guy truely, you gotta believe me on this. He was so super gentle and caring for everyone in the elderhome. Everyone loved him. He fought there. He got shot through the forearm, bone completely shattered and shot through the nose. He only survived because everyone thought he was dead, lying in a trench completely soaked in blood. At that time He was 16. A kid. He wanted to become a engeneer. He spend the whole next year in the hospital, lucky to be alive. It was the end of the war. The troops were heavily strained and the command send everyone able holding a rifle to the front. Children. Who had no political oppinion and also no choice. Many had no future.

What crack have you been smoking? D-Day was successful before it even happened. Complete Air Superiority. Both numerical and material supremacy. The German Command was an absolute shambles. It was confused as to where and when it would happen due to skillful tact on the Allied part. Poor weather hindered the landings by 24 hours, which actually played into their hand. Omaha suffered the worst casualties out of any of the Beaches, the reality was the numbers weren't all that high when compared to numbers of bodies that made it ashore across the whole line that day. Most of the main objectives were met by all Divisions, bar a few where resistance was stiff or obj's that were probably an over-stretch by Allied Command. In a sense, it was lucky that the American Paras were scattered as it helped them to work in ad-hoc units to harass and contain German rear-areas and to also confuse the Germans as to what the hell was even going on. The British flank, however, managed to practically land right on its objectives and destroyed the Germans there. If you're thinking that the Germans had it easy because "Sitting behind a wall with MG's" was going to win them a war, you are gravely mistaken. Those MG's soon run out of ammo - and did. Heavy bombing from all calibers of guns soon silenced their positions. Many positions were either destroyed, over-run or simply gave up. Once any part of that wall is breached, it's only a matter of time for the rest of that Defensive line before it's game over. Most Troops holing the Beach Garrisons were Ost-Truppen or low-grade German Troops. The beefier German units were held further inland to Counter-Attack - which was also hindered by Air Superiority. Harassment's from French Resistance and again, poor German Leadership structures. I read that some SS unit was all but wiped out by the end of the month with no reinforcements promised because Germany couldn't supply the manpower or material. The Allies absolutely dominated this and with good reason, too. Sicily and Italy were testing grounds for them to perfect what was going to happen in France. It was already over for Germany then. It was just a matter of time really. This is why some of their top Generals turned on Hitler and tried to assassinate him. They knew it was over, they wanted to try and preserve what was left of Germany at that point.
