Or that's what you think it would be, in reality only BF1 did that and it sucked balls.
WW1 is mostly just sitting in a trench and then getting hit by a grenade, the end.

How was WW1 Surreal?

It was literally just trenches with millions of people dying in them and moving forward inch by inch.

Compared to WW2 where the weapons, stakes, theaters and technology were all much more diverse and advanced. The pure scale of WW2 will never be matched in any war ever

BF1 was a WW2 shooter with a WW1 skin. There was plenty of movement on the western front in 1918 and the Eastern and Balkan fronts were mostly non trench warfare.

Also meat grinders are baller.

Thats objectively wrong.

>constant trench raids, particularly at night. Combat involved a bizarre mix of short range fire arms, grenades and melee weapons
>Liberal use of chemical warfare, includiong flamethrowers
>artillery all day, every day. Creeping Barrages that terrify both friend and enemy
>numerous new weapons including automatic rifles, submachine guns, and the occasional shotgun
>monsterous multi-gun tanks
>armored trains

This is just in europe. Combat in Russia and the Middle east was much different and saw alot of more movement using lighter vehicles like armored cars.

Accept for WW3.
Then it becomes higher steaks and a war to end all wars.
Also, your thinking of WW1 in a pretty narrow sense. It had an African theater, Russian theater, Arab and Asian theater.
WW1 was global and far reaching in what happened and it changed the course of history forever. WW2 solidified America as a world power and kept the Soviet Union artificially propped up for decades. It was very destructive and ultimately achieved an undesirable outcome.

Everyone thinks WW1 is boring as shit because they know nothing of the actual war and just think of trenches.

>it was JUST every country in Europe feeding every last scrap of its healthy adult male population into a neverending military campaign with casualties that completely dwarfed any conflict that had ever happened in a way that shattered Europe's perception of itself and destroyed two of its once most powerful countries, going for a length of time believed impossible to sustain described as "Europe having gone mad", with strategic doctrine for most of the war essentially boiling down to a 40k-esque Imperial Guard mentality of "charge that machinegun next until you bury it in dead bodies" with mounds of dead men being used as fortifications for the second wave of infantry to hide behind when advanced. And the second serving as cover for the third after THEY were shot down themselves.

He said pre-1942, the battle of Midway happened sometime around mid-1942 IIRC.
Up until then, the Japs steamrolled their way through almost all of Southeast Asia due to the powers in control of those parts being completely fucking unprepared and/or expecting the war to go a completely different way.

You've got a point there. I was thinking more of the stupid decisions the Japanese made in that time that Butterfly Effected their way to defeat.

>China had turned to a stalemate
Yeah, China was mess. I was mainly refering to the Phillipines, Malaya, Dutch East-Indies, New Guinea and so on. Maybe I should have mentioned that.
>and the Japs weren't winning in Burma.
Yes, but while they weren't winning, they made some good advances into Burma by the time Midway happened. Even after that, it took the Allies some more time to start pushing them back.

WW2 was much more, for lack of a better term, "epic". It was further ranging than WW1, was a major ideological clash, and the stakes were much higher. Not only is it known for it's varied and dynamic combat operations but also for it's intrigue and espionage. It was the first true modern total war where war was waged against the entire population, not just the military. The Axis powers make much better villains than the Central Powers; being associated with industrial genocide, horrifying human experimentation and even rumors of the occult. Adolf Hitler, his cronies like Goebbels and Himmler, and the Allied leaders possess a mystique and cult of personality that very few WW1 leaders had.

The history of WW2 is a story that is unmatched by any work of fiction.

Why do europeans literally send their soldiers to die in waves after waves without purpose?

Was WWI french front literally to see who could out zerg rush the other front?

At some point you will realize that zerg rush was inefective.

Or am I watching too much media and IRL both armies experimented with tactics beyond meat grinder?

Attached: 827.png (680x638, 250K)

How do you think tactics turned from WW1 style to WW2? Think about it long and hard, I know you'll find the answer.

This. Also, every continent except South America, (even Antarctica!) was involved in WWII. World War II was truly a World War.

Come to think of it, even parts of South America had allegiances to the Axis Powers during the war, although none of them directly participated.

Most drafted soldiers were little more than cannon fodder. A meat shield to hold a position.

I believe like 2% of soldiers did 50% of the actual killing.

WW1 for all intents and purposes was the first "true" modern war. That's why it was considered so horrifying. Because engineering had completetly outpaced the common understanding of war, tactics and treaties.
That's why it turned into such a slaughterhouse.
Up to WW1 nobody realized what destruction modern weapons can cause.

I'd play it

1. Japanese-Russian war, especially battle of Port Arthur. Russian had all kinds of new tech - machine guns, concrete bunkers, barbed wire, landmines etc, yet the japs managed to overrun everything with sheer weight of numbers. Western attaches saw this, reported back, and every western high command drew the conclusion that morale and elan still triumph over technology. Will over bullets, pip pip cheerio. S' why tactics weren't updated to count for automatic weapons and other fun stuff.

2. Trench war was new stuff, and thanks to 1. no-one was prepared for it. Those dumb zerg rushes weren't even the worst part - it was that even when the rushes succeeded, there usually was no way to capitalize on this success. It took way too long to report your success back to headquarters, and even longer to get fresh units to shore up your newly claimed land. This gave the defender plenty of time to counterattack and throw you back to where you started in.

3. Shit yes there was experimenting. The concept of Stormtroopers, well equipped elites that would infiltrate ahead and storm the line with zero warning was what Germany favored. Tanks were developed to roll over trenches, that was their main purpose. Airplanes were armed with bombs. Artillery tactics were refined, what with rolling barrages and such. Especially frontline spotters with a direct line to batteries was a big improvement. Made it possible to use artillery reactively, rather than just setting up a timetable for when to pewpew. Experimental weapons like mustard gas and flamethrowers became famous. Even offensive defense strategies were developed - evacuating your frontmost trench and rigging it with remote controlled explosives so the enemy could take it and then die horribly was one way. Digging a tunnel under the enemy trench and blowing it up from below was also used, and there's a few cases of tunnels from both sides meeting each other and underground warfare ensuing.

This. WW1 was kino because it was human beings wading into the rocky, low-tech realm of total industrial war for the first time.

Imagine being some dirt-smeared, tree-hugging farm boy and the highest tech shit you've ever seen is the rickety old tractor that you use to thresh potatoes or whatever the fuck it is farmers do. You report for duty in rags and some months later you're cowering in a hole in some unidentifiable apocalyptic wasteland as guns the size of houses vaporize your entire sector, and all the while you have your hand on your filter so your innards don't get jellified by some mad science gas as you wait for some experimental mobile artillery to reinforce you and break the enemy's defensive lines of automatic guns that can cut down an entire platoon in seconds.

He's right though. Before 1942, Nips managed to surprise pretty much everyone, doing a lot of shit that westerners thought was impossible. Pearl Harbor was supposed to be impossible to use torpedoes in. Nips proved it wrong. Warships at sea were supposed to be immune to bombing. Wrong again. Singapore's an invulnerable fortress, unless someone comes through that impassable swamp. Guess which route the Nips took?

Once Amerimutts got the ball rolling the situation reversed quite fast, showing that the initial Nip successes were mostly due to everyone else acting retarded. Fix that and you get nukes dropped on the main isles.

Literally only the western front is boring but of course Ameriniggers think that this front was the entire war.

If you want to actually learn about WW1 I recommend this YT channel. It's a documentary series that was also on PBS and covers WW1 week by week, originally aired exactly 100 years after the events covered for that week.

Well yeah, american education only covers the part of the war where the american expedition force was involved. "Covers" is also a rather generous term there. There's no mention of things like US troops being woefully underequipped and having to borrow armaments, vehicles and planes from the French. Nothing about American units getting lost on the way to the frontlines, nothing about the numerous friendly fire incidents, and nothing about how the US only entered the war because Woodrow Wilson wanted to be part of the eventual peace negotiations and the Entente had refused his offer of becoming a mediator.

>I raise you having to sit in a gigantic target floating in place while every asshole on the opposite side of the battlefield is trying to shoot you down.

Honestly WW1 would make an amazing horror game or tv series. The sheer lack of understanding on all sides about what modern conflict woudl look like leading to ordinary joes who carry old romanticized views of battle fighting these massive battles where death was so high that it was almost inevitable.

I think it was Verdun that had an 80% mortality rate for the French or something, where pretty much anybody that went into the battle was guaranteed to not make it out of the war alive. There were offensives who single days would produce hundred of thousands of casualties and as vehicles and aircraft couldn't catch up quickly enough to modern battlefield demand, you ended up with soldiers rushing at the enemy as artillery wiped them out, or you were stuck hanging out in disgusting trenches filled with dead bodies, shit, piss and mud. No man's land could be a crater filled mess with disgusting pools filled with dead bodies or in some cases gas that had crept down and diluted the waters into poisonous pools. People would sometimes get lost in the night and you'd have to listen to them scream out as they laid dying from being shot or drowning or stuck in the mud and suffocating. The scent of death was everywhere and in some cases like the Battle of the Somme, the british artillery was so ineffective that the soldiers walked straight on into a killfield and were massacred.

It was utter insanity and if it were to be truly replicated beyond "hurrdurr sit in the trench" I think most poeple would be revolted. Think of the shock the D-day scene in Saving Private Ryan had times 10000.

We indeed only really covered WW1 briefly and only the expedition force, but our teacher at least stressed how we came in late and cocky and didn't really do all that much.

It was not only "peasants" romanticizing battles, but the bigger part was a lot of the commanders were still nobles with little to no actual combat experience, coupled with little to no understanding of the new technologies their armies were employing.

So they would casually commit huge numbers of troops to idiotic charges, because who cares, they're peasants not real people like us nobles, etc.

There's so many options.

US has bases around the world now, and naval carriers filling in where needed. That plus advances in operational range for planes and UAVs means there's no need for a flying carrier anymore.

On the other hand a superheavy drone bomber raining down cruise missiles might be something the military's already working on.

>muh ebul nazee subtext
The fuck are you talking about? It's just text. Everyone knows the Nazis were evil, why the fuck would anyone feel the need to change minds?

Big part of this was talking to the surviving soviets. Most of them were dirt farmers from the far southern parts of the Soviet Union, sent up north because the politburo was afraid soldiers from a similar climate might sympathise with the finns and defect. So you've got people who have never seen snow before, who didn't have winter gear of any kind, being sent to the middle of a forest in a -50 degrees celsius winter. Finns thought that was far worse than the whole human waves sent against machine guns thing, and treated their prisoners pretty damn well because those guys had been through some shit.

Then the soviet high command stopped being retarded and sent siberian units against the finns which really tanked their kdr.

I don't think that's the case, because the French regularly rotated units in and out of Verdun, so there'd always be a somewhat fresh force to hold the line. In turn, it turned Verdun into an almost shared experience for Frenchmen who served during the war. A fisherman from Marseille could meet up with a baker from Normandy at a Parisian cafe after the war and share stories about their time at Verdun.

Germans are EXTREMELY remorseful for their actions, and the Japanese are also guilt-ridden (although it took longer for it to sink in for Japan than Germany).

>tfw no game has winter war where you literally go against 10-1 odds in manpower and 100-1 odds in tanks etc and win

The thing with games that feature or should feature human wave tactics is that you need bots for that. Take Verdun or it's sequel for example - the attacker should have a hundred bots on top of the human players, and when a player dies, they get switched to a bot. Just like in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. Not only would this fix the unbalance (generally you should always have 3:1 odds when launching an offensive) but it'd encourage players to charge as they should.

Point me some books about the non trench campains, fbuddy

Knowing how a weapon works and being able to tell its effectiveness in actual battle are two different things. The compound effects of multiple advances are rather hard to predict, too. For example, machine guns were thought to be relatively useless most of the time. Sure they shoot a lot faster than regular rifles, but they're heavy and need to be set up before use. This greatly limits their use in mobile warfare. But since the trench war ended up becoming a thing they were very very useful there. In short, machine gun alone is just a gun, combine it with trench warfare, barbed wire, and an open no man's land (plus searchlights or flares in case of nighttime) for great effect.

Another example is the effectiveness of artillery. Lots of small advances combined to cause hell on earth. Semiautomatic breechloader howitzers improved the rate of fire, spotting and correcting became a thing, airburst grenades happened, organizational changes were made to allow focusing more tubes on the same target. Each advance was small, result was multi day drumfire barrages that would've been crazytalk before the war.

No question about it.
My argument was more referring to some of Japan's questionable campaigns in certain islands in the Pacific that used time that would be better spent in other ventures.

A lot of this comes down to how the people returned, or didn't. The UK, as an example, would send people who joined together to roughly the same places. If you and your 29 other friends signed up together...you had pretty good odds to all be sent to literally the same trench.
Now it's your time to climb up the walls and charge. Guess how many come home? Not a lot.
So the war ends and towns find entire generations had died.

By WW2 this had heavily stopped and people were more spread out. Although it did still occur. More people, overall, died in WW2, but the effects of the military deaths were more spread out.

How is Verdun these days? I played it in early access but it didn't run too well, love the setting though.

You guys do know that shit is very exaggerated right? That sounds exactly like a russian missle launcher

Yeah. Well. Look at pre-world war warfare. A lot of it was "human wave tactics", only back then firearms weren't quite as deadly yet. So when the big war came, it's not that the top brass decided to suddenly be retarded and invent the human wave into the meatgrinder tactic. No, they were going with what was proven to work in previous wars. Russo-Japanese War, Crimean War, and the US Civil War were relative recent wars where marching in formation towards the enemy with no attempt to take cover was still a thing. Add to this the various colonial conflicts where small well trained western units stomped all over native hordes, and you'll see there's good reason to believe it's the man, not his equipment, that makes a soldier.

Then when trench warfare happened, lots of folks died, and units went on strike when ordered to attack, the generals were furious because none of this matched their observed reality. They'd seen human waves work and didn't understand why it wouldn't work again. It often took a trip to the front lines to witness the conditions themselves, and/or being replaced completely, to get the higher ups to unfuck their ideas.

The whizz of artillery only happens when they go past you. The sound of fragments is a different thing of course, but it happens after the explosion.

but there was shit like the otoman empire fronts versus australians.

I think two things doomed them: Had they been able to mobilize a month earlier, they probably would have been able to capture Moscow before winter, or at least knock out the government facilities there and pull back.

The other was the German general that disobeyed orders to push towards Moscow in the first place instead of focusing on taking Stalingrad and securing the oil supply like originally planned.

Instead they weren't able to reach Moscow before winter, didn't have the manpower to take Stalingrad as planned, and gave Stalin time to pull his troops from Siberia back.

That instinct kicks in when your leg is torn open and you are bleeding from your anus, not when you are pumped up and full of opium and nationalism. Monkey brains werent designed to instinctively react to inanimate bombjects, especially uneducated chinese peasant monkey brains.
Also military training in general is designed to suppress natural instincts, such as running like a bitch when loud noises happen around you, which is why they make you crawl in the dirt and fire machine guns over you so you get used to it and dont panic.

It's easy for westerners who have tasted the good life to want a desire to live, especially the folks in the western theater where some soldiers joining the ranks were from well off families (even Americans straight from the Depression still at least experienced the roaring 20s). But in the eastern front and pacific theater, people have been enduring miserable lives for decades there that killing yourself might be an easy way out.

The pastry war

You're not going to pretend all suicide bombers are suicidal, are you?

It's not propaganda when that's how bad living there is. Are you telling me you'd rather live in Russia with their nonstop commie revolutions than sip tea and nibble on crumpets in comfy ol' England?

People seem to forget what would happen to a soldiers in WW1 (and why not also WW2) if he tried to escape.

Are you telling me all those millions of russian peasants fighting for their country only did it because they hated their peasant life in the cold and didnt mind dying?
It's the same propaganda Burgers used against Vietcong
"Ohhhh their lives are so shit they have nothing to live for"

Russians and sometimes the chinks got by with sheer hate. Demonizing the enemy works wonders when the enemy's the nazis and imperial japs.

Another powerful thing is camaraderie. You know the people you've been living and sharing meals with for the past who knows how long will be screwed if you don't do your part. Japs extended this to protecting their emperor and civilians too. I'm sure others tried something similar but for the japs that shit worked a bit too well, with civilians volunteering for all kinds of suicide shit. Which isn't that surprising, given that their enemy was a country which literally refused to acknowledge them as humans.

People kill themselves because they think things will be better after. Feeling worthless and saving your mother can be equally motivating

They didn't hate it, but they literally had nothing to live for. The Russians were some of the zealous soldiers in the entire damn war.
Imagine being a German and suddenly you hear a dozen cries of ZA RODINA ZA STALINA.
Thats the time you piss your pants because you have a bunch of angry drunk russians that dont fucking care anymore and just wants your kraut ass out of the motherland.

They’re both pretty grim desu

If they didnt care why even fight? Let the Germans come, couldnt be any worse, right?

>he needs to be spoonfed basic logic
Fucking retard, let me jold your hand then.
When being sent to war, especially pre and during WW2 you were pretty much destined to die. Most men didn't expect to return. Secondly, a lot of times people were sent on suicide missions when an enemy was advancing, but would need to be stalled for long enough.

Because despite all the shit theyre happening, they still love their country no matter what. Same shit with China and even Japan towards the end of the war. This is what nationalism does to you.

Dagoth Ur welcomes you Nerevar my old friend. But to this place where destiny is made, why have you come unprepared?

Humans regularly ignore their human instincts. You have no fucking idea how powerful the human mind is over our bodies. A person thats convinced that dying is honorable or ticket out of this miserable life wont mind suicide at all. Just ask the thousands of indians, koreans and japanese that killed themselves over having bad grades. oh wait

Yes, that is exactly what happened. Just goes to show that not fighting is the best way to win.

Ironic of you to call someone a brainlet when you can't even understand why some people are willing to die in a war. Especially if they're on the defensive

Berlin is one of the most depressing things I've ever read. I'm no germaboo but it's criminal that what happened to their civilians is so little talked about.

It's a WWI Era battle in which some african or arabian prince get's cocky and tries to leave the British Empire to help some germans, and also turns his personal yatch into a gunboat, only for him and his harem to get BTFO by the Brits.

I can't remember it but it's hilarious.

Maybe if you're into alternative history and don't like actual documentation.

Holy fuck that revolver with the dagger. Is that a spatula in the middle?

Austria ruined everything twice.

However if anyone should blame anyone, it's the world should realize the Serbs are a menace to humanity.

Britain and Frances unwillingness to start another war was what made them too afraid to stand up to Hitler and prevent ww2.

Why?

Beevor had some degree of mainstream success so BAAAAADDD

Even further how about civilizations throughout history were men would fight multiple wars in the same generations like the Greeks or Romans? Shit man napoleon fought absolutely endless wars, and when he returned from exile his men couldn't wait to march back to the battlefield.

Crappy sources and could never respond to historics criticisms. Mainstream was a great defensive shield for him.

Sengoku Japan

Mgs3??? Fucking newfag

thay are like that because they were meant to stab quick and not get stuck since they were used in trenches so u had to be quick at dealing with an enemy.

More just that some people have things they think are worth going to war over. Patriotism, loot, prestige/glory have all called people to war. To many people fighting for God, King and country was worth going to war with Germany twice in a generation.

I sincerely hope you guys have all read Storm of Steel.

It's so boring it was forgotten by everyone except North Korea, who had almost a quarter of their population genocided by US bombings. The game would mostly be a static wave shooter as you defend your position from hordes of untrained peasants. It'd only be fun as a F-86 vs MiG-15 simulator.

That reminded me of that fecently shot down F-16 by a MiG-21. Now I want a WWIII game where the cause is India vs. Pakistan.

If WW2 taught anyone anything it was not to invade other countries if you don't want to be bombed back to the stone age.

I don't know how most soldiers managed to stay sane

Humans are pretty resilient to stress. And units didn't just sit in the trenches endlessly like in the memes. They were rotated in and out and may have spent weeks or even months without being shot at.

>Because WW1 was pretty much trench welfare
Mostly only in West Europe and some on the Russian border, but even by the late period it started to become much more mobile as people learned ways to circumvent the extreme advantage defense had.

Would have been good air combat material if that went hot. Most air combat since Vietnam (and maybe the Falklands) has been enormously one-sided, with high tech American planes and well trained pilots blowing up untrained pilots in Russian/French cold war scrap from 20 miles away. Seeing squadrons of F-16s/JF-17s going up against Mirage 2000s/Su-30s would've been cool as fuck.

Unless you're Israel and the US. They invade other countries literally every day.

Yes, that's all WW1 was about. No opportunism, global markets, colonial supremacy, balance of power conflicts, violent terrorism in the balkans, arms race, ethnic tensions and shifting global ideologies, no it was just one guy got shot then lol chain of alliances :^)

Protip: The true villain is T.E.A.

The motherfucking duality of man

Also, the part with the German officers using the cabin as HQ is dosnright hilarious. Ends up being hit by artillery because the owner of the cabin is the artillery commander bombarding them

>battle of Crete
>Cretan civilians joined the battle with whatever weapons were at hand. Most civilians went into action armed only with what they could gather from their kitchens or barns and several German parachutists were knifed or clubbed to death in olive groves. In one recorded incident, an elderly Cretan man clubbed a parachutist to death with his walking cane, before the German could disentangle himself from his parachute.In another recorded incident, a local priest and his son broke into a village museum and took two rifles from the era of the Balkan Wars and sniped at German paratroops at landing zones. The Cretans also used captured German small arms. The Crete civilian actions against the Germans were not limited to harassment; mobs of armed civilians joined in the Greek counter-attacks at Kastelli Hill and Paleochora.
Too brutal, plus the Germans did a lot of reprisals (aka razing whole villages to the ground and killing a lot of civilians that had nothing to do with the resistance) it would play out like a Tarantino movie...

The one part that really stuck out to me in SoS is when an artillery shell plows right into the room with the stove, doesn't explode because it's a dud and soon after someone draws a little caricature of an artillery shell glaring at several soldiers onto the stove.

Tea tastes pretty good you mother fucker.

WW1 and WW2 combined castrated all of Western Europe.

Depends on the person and their worldview a lot. Look at CS Lewis who's best friend died and was wounded at the Somme and later wrote of a citizens duty to fight in war and how he thought the positives of war were equal to its negatives, even during the Blitz.

Arguably, nukes castrated everyone. High-yield bombs for Operation Unthinkable when

Better question, which one wasn't? Most recent ones were Syria and some middle African ones.

Pakistan in in coordination with US
Somalia is a global effort to stop piracy and it's civil war
Nigeria, Niger is in coordination with US
Libya was an EU effort that America contributed to reluctantly.
Afghanistan was justified
Iraq wasn't granted.

Many of the governments that coordinate with the US are not supported by the people, which is why there is fighting in the first place. The Irony of an America built on a rebellion, smashing rebellions, is always lost.

Every country should have sovereignty. Even Afghanistan, where hundreds of thousands if not millions have died because Burgers got angry at 20-100 of them for flying/organizing flying a plane into a building.
