    Hey Baron! Shotguns have a nerf against roman shields. The pellets are small and slow enough that their shields deflect the shots, and they can even be damaged by their own ricochets.

      One VERY important detail was mentioned in the first simulation like it's an afterthought. The rounds are .45 ACP. These are PISTOL rounds, not rifle rounds and the difference is massive. Rifle rounds travel 2000+ ft/sec while pistol rounds travel 700 ft/sec or so.
      The end result is that people shot with pistol rounds don't have the same shockwave rupture of internal organs that rifle rounds cause. Pistol round stopping power is very location dependent. They get shot and a determined person (even mortally wounded) can keep on coming. A rifle round is one hit and it immediately stops them.
      These roman soldiers also have shields between them and the bullets. Chances are, this WW2 army gets swarmed and cut to pieces MUCH easier than the simulation shows.

Once you thin the ranks sufficiently, then open with the machine guns wile in pursuit of the remaining troops and have the buys with the Thompsons or shotguns clean up.

    I think the Thomsons were firing a burst of several shots, probably like 8, then waiting for a moment, presumably so it felt more in line with the fire rate of other ranged units in the game.
    Shotguns apparently just bounced of the roman shields, which i find kinda funny, given that those shields are made of wood, not hardened steel.

If the metal was a soft copper or iron, then it would go through pretty damn easily. if it was made out of a hard steel then a shield would have to be very thin, unless it was a buckler or something smaller, or it would be too heavy to wield. And if the hard steel shield is very thin, .45 would be reasonably likely to penetrate. You could make a metal shield that would stop a .45 from penetrating, but not just any metal shield would do the trick.

      @@phantom1592 i mean, your wrong on the armour "disappearing" when firearms became commonplace (from the half plate worn by the members of pike and shot formations in the renessiance to the thick breastplates of heavy cavalry in the napoleonic wars, armour was used alongside mass firearms for many decades), but shields you are quite right, and metal armour certainly evolved and became less prevalent until it was just phased out entirely. As i explained, metal shields are bad when made thick enough to stop even low penetration bullets, whilst metal armour is nowhere near as cumbersome thanks to weight distribution. Roman stuff probably wouldn't stop anything. Maybe .22LR certainly not .45.
      And yes your right about the romans winning just through numbers. Both through having more bodies than they have bullets and also through being able to enact a massive encirclement and approaching in higher volume than can be cut down by the soldiers.

There’s a lot of reasons to think the shock of a tank just crushing them and being impervious to any damage and breaking their lines would cause a mass panic and route on its own possibly. I mean imagine being in formation and 10 things just pile drive into your lines and start blasting. Are you gonna stick around or even think about well their ammunition is limited.

      Baron was semi correct concerning the Geneva Convention regarding full auto Sherman tanks. There was a prototype design during WW2 that was built to fire 105mm solid big bore full auto but it never got passed the prototype phase. Something about it causing to much heat making the barrel warp and even melt. Thank God it never got passed that phase, can you imagine what it would have done to most German & Japanese units if you saw nothing but a wall of 105mm lead coming at you?

      @Brett733 Před 2 lety

      @@sunayocarissime5309 It has nothing to do with the Geneva Convention. There are thousands of large calibre autocannons in service in every major military in the world. The term auto and non auto simply refers to whether or not you can fire multiple rounds with one engagement of the trigger mechanism. In fact pretty much all Tanks including the Sherman even in WW2 had full auto capability with their smaller weapon systems like 0.30 cal .50 cal and even 20mm and above. The main reason there is nothing like this "full auto sherman" from the video is it would firstly overheat melt and secondly fire its entire ammo storage in seconds and thirdly the weight of for instance a 155mm projectile is about 100 pound and firing at any sort decent speed around 300 rpm or so would use 30 000 lbs of ammo in a minute. Even on large naval ships where they do have fully auto 120mm cannons such as the Bofors 120 L46 it only stores 50 or so rounds at once. If you want to see weapons comparable to the "Fullauto sherman"in this video look at the Phalanx Weapon system which fires 20mm rounds at 4500 rpm and fires its entire storage capacity in seconds or the 30mm GAU 8 Autocannon on the A10 Warthog which fires its entire inventory of about 1200 rounds in less than 20 seconds at 3900 rpm.

    I don't know the games mechanics but if there's an armor calculation for damage it might need some twerking. They'd have to starve out the tank crew to win, and heaven help the Romans if they make the tanks Mobile, crushing centurions under the tracks by the hundreds.

      A better reference would be WWI or the Battle of Omdurman.
      Or maybe do some math (not good at it myself) WWI water cooled ( water cooling keeps the barrels from overheating during sustained fire) machine guns .30, .303. 8mm Browning 1917s, Vickers or Maxins. 750 rounds per minute, start shooting at 1,000 yards, or 900 meters, range. How long does it take the Romans to cross that distance? Then factor in how many guns you need. You can adjust for reloading time, misses and a single bullet penatrating more than one person. A single bullet would penatrate the shield and armor, if it hit the chest area for sure, legs it would go through and on to the one behind.

Though ineffective against direct hits of a submashine gun, it would give at least a little protection against shrapnell and ricochet. They even had pretty functional flamethrowers.

    10 Shermans firing High Explosive rounds into densely packed enemy ranks would do far more damage than what we are seeing here. At that distance, the Roman army would have been entirely decimated by tank fire before they hit the 200 yd mark. Once they were within 100 yds of the WW2 soldiers, the accuracy of withering bullet fire complementing the HE rounds (I am assuming infinite ammo and reload, with no jams or overheating) would have created a literal wall of fire through which no Roman soldier would pass. I am sorry, good animation but very poor accuracy.

AoE of HE tank rounds would easily be a 20-30 m radius around points of impact. With that rate of fire, densely packed troops and accuracy not being an issue it would be like running those Romans through a cheese grater. Look for "Grape Shot Decembrist Revolution" in Russia on CZcams (highly realistic rendering of grape shot by the way) to see what concentrated shrapnel does to densely packed and poorly armoured troops. It´s absolutely horrific. And that´s from almost 200 years ago.

      Swords and spears would chip the paint off the tank and maybe leave some scratches. It would be more effective for Roman soldiers to pile corpses on the tank and hope the occupants suffocate or overheat.
      Roman shields were also mostly made of wood. They would do almost nothing to stop .45 caliber rounds. Each wave of shots would take down the front line of the Roman army.
      Finally, it doesn't take into account things like logistics, equipment failure, morale, combat strategies, or fatigue.
      It's a fun toy for hypotheticals but useless for actual war applications.

    • @target844
      @target844 Před 6 měsíci +1

      To the shells, you need to add around 6000 rounds for the machine gun. If you have a very early M4 there are 4 machineguns that fire from the inside, in later models there are two. At least the 75mm variant had canister shoots, that would be what you use, not high explosive shells.
      The final and perhaps most efficient weapon is the track, humans do not handle a tank running over them very well. When the tank runs out of ammunition and get stuck or round out of fuel it could be destroyed by the Romans.
      With some planning and understanding of their enemy, the way to defeat tanks is to dig anti-tank ditches, even better if they are camouflaged. Then use Molotov cocktails on them, after sneaking up on them at night. Romans did use incendiary devices and it would be possible to make some form of Molotov cocktail.

    If the game creators are going for any kind of realism, they have a ways to go. First, the bodies of the Romans that got killed would greatly impede the forward movement of the ones trying to advance. They would be falling all over the place. A tank is pretty much impenetrable using swords and spears, plus tanks tend to have machine gunners inside as well. They could easily drive around and crush groups of Romans that were unable to get out of the way due to being blocked by the dense grouping of their fellow soldiers. I could go on for a while about other factors that seem to be completely absent here, but I think I made my point. The game IS in development, so there's that. It would be pretty interesting if someone was able to make a battle sim like this that is so realistic and accurate, that armies around the world started using it to plan battles. 😁

    Looks @ guys with plywood shields charging a bunch of dudes with 45 acp
    So, the 45 ACP is a pretty powerful round and these guys would open up at 300-400 yards.
    At that range, you can look at video from Iraqveteran8888. It's just cutting through the wood shields.
    Secondly 45 is a very penetrating round so like the shotgun slugs or 000 or 00 buck, it's going through the shields, breaking bones & ribs & putting all sorts of holes in people.
    Third the 45 is probably punching through the thin metal armor.
    The best bet is for the Romans to just ditch any weight and run forward as fast as possible because the Thompsons are going to overheat & maybe you can close distance before they roll the lines. However, you'd tripping and falling over the dead people in front of you for a while. Soldiers would also shoot low if they felt the center of mass firing way ineffective. 45 rounds would be breaking legs and occasionally take out two soldiers at a time from over penetration.
