attacking a tank across a river is definitely best strategy ever

Hearts of iron makes you see the deaths of millions as mere numbers, and actually feel happy when your enemy has more casualities than you

Imaging being that one infantry division that has to pin divisions so you can close the encirclement

What politicians see: what soldiers see:

I like to think not all casualties in hoi4 translate to actual deaths. Some could be POWs or injuries that prevent further active duty.

Me when i send a 10% strength shovel division to pin the soviet heavy tank for the 5th time: 🗿

One thing i realized about Stellaris is that space battles, even in the slowest speed, can last days. Imagine being stuck in a massive chunk of metal being hit by missiles and laser bolts 24/7 knowing danm well that if the ship explodes, no one is coming to save you.

Imagine if the game let you zoom in on to the battlefield and see what is going on there, that would be the best update on hoi4

It's true. Hoi4 often runs very slow because in each battle the game runs a ultra realistic simulation to determine an ever more realistic outcome.

I do find it fun to draw significant battles that happen in hoi4, I recently had an event occur where a battle went south in the Brazilian jungle, and I had to withdraw my troops to rio, I drew a scene that depict a full scale retreat of mechanized units down a rural road alongside a river with a downed bridge that included supply trucks now sitting half submerged along the banks of the river.

If you think about it. We are all the bad guys in this story. Sitting In The comfot of our chair while sending our men to die in a war we created. Our hearts are cold, they must be made of Iron.

My casualties: 2 German casualties: 288k

this dosn't make me fell bad for the Million i have lost thus far in hoi4

this scene 0:28 is just terrifying, imagine the tank slowly moving it's turret toward your direction

I always use field hospitals, even playing with the USSR, it makes me feel bad to think that millions of people die because of my stupid strategies

One of the most harrowing games I ever had was one game as Italy in a re-work mod. I had overthrown Musolini and sided with the allies. When I joined Ww2 I tried to knock Hungary out of the war quickly, but got encircled. Tens of thousands of men and 2 tank armies of thousands of tanks, trapped west of Budapest. I managed to get them out but it took months of hard fighting and massive Arial resupply. Looking at this, my mind can't help but return to that game. What were those men thinking? Surrounded on all sides by a force determined to crush them, the pocket getting smaller and smaller as sllied forces fought desperately to break through to save them....

I like how hoi4 makes you act and feel like a real life leader. You see everything as a game of who moves what piece the best. And it is why more effective when a big war is happeing since all you vare about is winning

Actually... if there's a tiger in the battle, but there's only inf unit as we can see on the map at the start, that mean the German player made space marines and must be kick or ban of the MP game.

war is worse than hell

I had a scene like the 2nd clip play out for me in the game enlisted once. A single american stuart tank rolls through a town split in half by a river with a series of bridges, suddenly a tank shell rips through and kills 3 out 4 crew, without a moment to think the final map gets on the cannon, returning a shell through a Sd.kfz.234 causing an ammo rack detonation. Undeterred from its mission the final crewman repairs the damaged beast enough to move again then hops into the driver's seat, parking itself in the treeline overlooking a major road into that side of the city. For 10 hellish minutes he opens fire with the main gun and coaxial machine gun into the german advance, making them pay dearly for each advance on his side of the city, finally falling when the American forces on the other side of the river were pushed far enough for some infantry to sneak across a bridge with a bundle of tnt to destroy his tank. In his defiant stand he knocked out 2 enemy armored vehicles and left the road to the city littered with bodies of German infantry.

That's how generals see it, and that's how soldiers see it.

1917 is a movie about pressing 'h' in hhoi4

No matter how shit Fury is, it does provide some amazing visuals...

I feel like the concept of hitting a tank, then it’s gun slowly cranking around toward you to be terrifying but really cool look at the same time.

i swear that fighting scene in fury gave me the biggest chills 🥶🥶🥶🥶 i almost combusted

I remember watching fury, seein lot of german with Anti-Tank weapon but then they reach their destination into this tank, suddenly their anti-tank never appear until almost the end of battle....

In RTS games like Men of War, I just straight up become depressed seeing one of my soldiers die because you were commanding him and his unit personally

this was such a cinematic masterpiece, it was not very realistic at all but it looked soo good

That is the beautiful(also a bit terrifying ) thing about this game I haven't seen anyone talk about till now.

My Federalist Soldiers trying to retake Boston from the sydicalists

This is why I prefer real time combat RTSs like Company of Heroes, or games that combine overall strategy with real time tactical combat; Like "Star Wars: Empire at War." Allows me to be closer to my troops. And I don't like sending them into a bloody grinder to be slaughtered =_= No soldier is good to anyone but the enemy being *dead.*

As a hoi4 player i can confirm that this is true💀

It terrifies me seeing that tiger tank slowly aiming towards us, How it show case the chaos of war and the marvellous creations of men with the will the fight is just terrifying I hope we never get to see a sight similar to this one. War is a losing battle on both sides

Me who dont use tanks.🗿🍷

0:25 Bottom right corner, man on fire walking as if he's just coming back from work to his fire wife and fire kids.

Bro this reminds me of an edit I'm trying to make, where I zoom in on combat in HoI4 and it turns into Battlefield 5 gameplay

This movie was fire and good, I watched and it was a great history movie, and I respected your recreation of it.

"The death of Millions is statistics"

Its funny how in fury basically every german soldier is carrying a panzerfaust widely considered the best anti tank weaoon of ww2 but they never use it.

This hoi meme never gets old.

Awesome video you get a new follower for that one

those clips are UNREAL

This video gives me a new perspective , when I send soldiers to war.

Alto the story of Fury is fictonal (I heard that it got inspired buy somthing that happend during WW1) I think it did show how devastating tanks could be, *ESPECIALY* in this scene

I always find it badass when the turet is rotating while the machines blair away

If you play equastria at war but dont use field hospital you're a monster

Except for the fact in fury they defended a cross road instead of a bridge. Still both had great important.

amazing video

sometime I grew attached to some of my units and is in pain when they die

fury was such a good movie ima watch it again just cause of this video

Fury was an amazing film i rewatched it like 8 times and its still sad 😢

god this is perfect

Soviets on their way to charge a level 10 fort mountain tile across a major river during winter.

proud field hospital user. they will be home to their families

the guy on fire:that just fine

This film is very good, I recommend it 👍🏻 (The vídeo is good too :) )

What my eye see vs what my brain imagine

Press F to pay respect , for those soldier (in video game / real live) who KIA or MIA in action

Air and artilery support,now thats a superb strategy

nice

I cried at the end of this movie

Context: (for people who haven’t watched the movie, spoiler!) In almost the end of the movie, the tank machine gunner was sent to scout the area for enemies. The scout rushed back immediately because there were many enemy soldiers heading there way and the crew inside the tank fought them but they were outnumbered. It’s a good thing the enemy didn’t have anti tank artillery/weapons.

bro this movie made me cry in the end

bullets in Fury are like watching Star Wars it feels

Cool lasershow though.

War room, frontlines, they may have different environments, but their reactions to these kind of situations are all the same "SHIT SHIT SHIT. FUCK FUCK FUCK. DO WE HAVE EXPLOSIVES? SHIT. FUCK ME...FUUUUUCK!!"

I go to a strategy game right then my troops attack a tank and what i see is they just shoot but this is what they see

Me after every last stand order

The Easy 8 looked like a tiger for a sec 0:28

ive always thought this playing games like these lol

How BF 5 looks like vs how it can feel

Better title: what the politicians see vs what the soldiers see

Trust me bro, the CAS will get do the work.

"One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic."

never forget

Making the mother of all omelettes here, Jack. Can't fret over every egg.

Crazy, what a heavy tank div can do sometimes

i actually always wonder how would looks like if you could zoom some hoi battles.

Tham I love that movie

Flight to the last BULLET!

That what I see too because I love war

This is why I love Shermans

Sovuet Union: 10 million casualties

Casualty in stragety games,or inside war room are just number,but in reality,it's the number of destroyed family,of people suffered and die,of people who lost their husband,their son,their father

this is why i love AT mines

Dang. Like, that is the most lethal thing I’ve ever seen. Conscription, here I come!

Bro I also see like that just like they see

Imagine when a US scout in this movie sees army, that carries like 200 panzerfaust and not even one was shot there, magic of Brad Pitt.

Every time I play hoi4 I think of a bloody battle every time I invade someone or play as germany

Haha funny green bubble go brrrr

It’s a crime that this wasn’t synced to paint it black

Death before Dismount

Its kinda funny also because theres a officer walking while on fire

The devs when making the game : This would be fire 🗣🗣🔥🔥

0:27 just another normal day on fire

One lone disabled tank, inflicted major casualties before finally destroyed

Me when I have one unit left in humankind:

0:26 Bro that man in the background is walking around like he dosen’t even care that he is on fire

That is my image when I playing hoi4

HOI5 looking 🔥🔥
