The problem with gun lines vs hordes in this game is that the pile of bodies eventually acts as cover for the attacking force. The dead zombies, in this instance, provided plenty of cover for their advancing forces. The pile of bodies does not allow the gun lines to attack at long range. This results in inevitable close quarters fighting where the gun line loses against overwhelming numbers.
Team work makes the dream work. 🤷♂️
That’s what keeps it fair.
Conversely, it also allows the gun lines to focus its attention rather than shoot everything that moves. Because the pile obstructs their vision, they’ll only shoot what comes over the line
And that’s a problem why lol
To be fair he don’t need to reload
I find it comical at this point how you are seemingly surprised every single time you get flanked even though it happens nearly every single time! And even more so that you always seem to forget that if you shoot enough zombies they'll form a bridge themselves and be able to use that or they'll just go through the water and die until they have enough bodies that they can cross it their own way.
Him: repeats a mistake for the third time *surprised Pikachu face*
Bridge defences like this usually work better if you widen the defenders formation (a 2 or even 1.5) and have them set back a little. It allows the centre to focus the top of the body piles while the sides can still hit units across the bridge.
Also I'd love to see some ridiculously fast and powerful units, more in line with miniguns than MG42s. Great video as always.
I know this is for balance reasons, but I know that to create these MG42’s damage was reduced as well as accuracy. I’m just here to say that along with the 1500 rpm that the MG42 was spec’d to, the terrifying thing about them was that they were quite accurate and fired 7.98 rounds, making them slightly more powerful than a standard rifle round.
The MG42 was such a masterpiece of a weapons system that I believe modern German forces still use it to this day, as it was reproduced with modern materials and rereleased as the MG3 in 2003. If you actually made the unit to spec they would be like the flamethrower units.
P I just saw the pp

It was accurate because the weight gave it enough inertia to stay put, and the extra high fire rate took advantage of the inertia to send bullets before the gun moved due to recoil. This gave it tight groupings as long as the shooter had good trigger discipline
Yes and no, it's raw fire rate made it impressive but it had several serious flaws that made it only equal to its contemporaries:
1500 RPM means it fires 1500 rounds in a minute... That sounds good until you realise that every bullet costs money and materials and needs to be produced and supplied, making it a logistical nightmare for the already overstretched German forces
Overheating is the next issue, firing for more than a few seconds would melt the barrell. Combined with the lack of a quick change barrell meant that they had to constantly change barrells resulting in further stretched logistics by having to supply insane amounts of spares and massively reduced firerates to prevent overheating or to change the barrell
Mag fed MG42s often used 50 round magazines. 50 rounds at 1500RPM or 25 Rounds Per Second will empty the magazine in literally 2 seconds. Belt fed magazines mostly solved this issue but come back to the previous issue of barrell heating and ammo consumption.
When you combine the insane use of ammunition, frequency of barrel change and limited magazine capacity, you quickly realise the MG42's 1500RPM is only theoretical, and it's practical RPM reduces down to that of a standard MG of the time.
Yes it was a great bit of engineering, but it's the classic WW2 Wehrmacht mistake of making something look great on paper but often ignoring practicality and logistics.
Take for example the WW1 Vickers/Maxim guns. They fire only 600RPM, yet some people tested recently a 100+ year old Vickers gun by firing 2 million rounds continuously, only stopping occassionally to change the barrel. The gun fired all millions of rounds without a single stoppage and a near unending stream of accurate gunfire. Logistically, Maxim/Vickers guns were superior MMGs despite being half a century older, although the MG42 had the utility of being more mobile allowing it to fill the LMG function giving it points for versatility.
I'd also add that the MG3 redesigned the platform to reduce its fire rate to 800-950RPM or 1000-1200 RPM, because of the issues having an insane RPM brings.
Anyway that's my tangent no one asked for. In short, MG42 was a fine weapon, but it's far from a masterpiece and I wouldn't even consider it superior to the other MGs of its day
I wanna see them add in realistic reloading and ammo reserves to balance things out. Guns and ranged weapons are just comical in UEBS because they never stop to reload or run out of ammunition. It would open up so many opportunities to play around with army composition.
Also there's no friendly fire.
How about add realistic zombie movement speed and bot some crazy WWZ zombie movement. Guarantee if the zombies moved as lumbering as they did in the original Night of the Living Dead, a real MG-42 would have no issues.
@@emanuele_ambrosio there is. u just need to turn it on
@@jeffburnham6611 1-what is ‘realistic’ zombie movement, they are, as we know, fake (in the way shown in media) and how they move is based on the media they’re in (but most do show them being stumbling things and depending on how the zombie works/is made then stumbling would be more realistic though this would depend heavily on the type of zombie)
2-That would, however, be a really cool toggle setting for zombies so you can customize them more
@@Haiesta i think by realistic they mean how a corpse would react if somehow animated. They have body farms where they leave bodies in all sorts of conditions to help investigators figure out how long bodies have been in certain environments based on what point of decay they are in. We know how bodies react after death so if a corpse was walking and a certain environment after x amount of time we would know how rotted and locked up the joints would be so we would know they would move slow but we would know almost exactly how slow.
999,999 thousand medieval troops vs 500,000 Spartans
yes
yes
yes
yes
Knight is more powerful so need equal numbers I think
I wish they could add a distance behavior to the AI, one where once an enemy starts to get too close moves back to try and keep distance between their enemies and them
They should be able to code it, since the ranged hero units (like John Wick and Tesla) back up when the enemy gets close.
If it's bridge defense, then you need to have soldiers defending every single bridge.
The conclusion that I’ve come to form this is that the ai is incredibly smart when it comes to finding ways around chokepoints to the point that bridge battles don’t really seem to work to well
I think it's more that there are no tools to block off areas, meaning that the HUGE maps give plenty of avenues for units to flank.
If it were possible to prevent units from entering certain areas of the map, it would actually be possible to funnel them into a chokepoint like a bridge.
It’s too bad the game won’t allow the user to break some of the bridges. Like pressing ‘B’ to break the dam on the Egypt map.
@@tarille1043 that 2 though I think it still says a lot about the ai a lot of games the ai would just b line it toward the enemy with no regard for flaking though there is a argument that with numbers you can have in this game flanking is inevitable
@@omega1735 I agree the AI is pretty amaing in this game I can’t get enough of these videos
Especially when you don't actually cover all the bridges...
You need troops on the roof tops behind the bridges and troops and possibly over on the other side scattered around to thin out the zombies. Otherwise they'll constantly lose.
Hey Daley ! I managed to create a ridiculous unit: the Landslide. Basically it's a chicken with 2000 rate of fire, about 50% accuracy, and projectile rock. Even if you set them to 900 range, they just shoot around them , and it creates sort of a landslide, engulfing melee units.
Feel free to try them out :)
thts awesome
how's the game? is there ways to modify the zombie's hp or add other mods to units?
Lovin the vids lmao I just gotta say missed opportunity, you said “you were supposed to protect the flank not get flanked” in my head I was like “you were supposed to protect us from the flank not join the flank” but it was still funny😂 keep up the vids
Is it just me or he kind of sounds like typical gamer back in the day
This looks like an awesome map for shot gunners to do some urban conflict fighting.
a solution for this kind of problem might be to custom create a unit which can body block he flanks. I'm thinking a sherman with infinte health and no damage set to hold position. make a wall of them aroud the flanks of a defending unit so they don't contribute to the fight except as an environmental barrier. assuming thats possible to do with the editor which i dont know.
If you filled the other bridges with melee units with a million health and virtually no damage, they would serve as a wall blocking that area off from flanking.
Man the MG42 is giving me Call of duty world at war zombies vibes lol MG42s are too great 👍
This game never ceases to amaze me with the amount of units that can be deployed
You should definitely turn on Volumetric blood. Because big battles will be much more epic
That was awesome, please do another bridge scenario in the future
You should 2x or 3x the troopers here. The body wall will create protection that will give them an advantage in the mid-late game. You might need 4 or 5x to actually make it even. Would be cool to see a redo.
The MG 42 came with 3 Barrels and Oven Mitts , so they could change em every few minutes or they would melt.
This is a great idea. Just redo it, with 100 at each bridge, maybe 200 or 300 at the flank bridge and the original bridge. And just in case all the city bridges fall, 300 at the gates at 1:51
Many many much Bridges? Obviously a proud graduate of our public School systems hahaha
Man I love these Stalingrad reenactments
Love your videos Man, a spartan vs Roman D Day would be epic if it’s possible
I would love to see a battle in the city again. two melee focused armies one defending but move holding random bits of the city.
Crusader on Crusader action
I find it funny how seemingly every time he does a time lapse the Zombies break a bridge and win immediately lol
I’d love to see red coats at this bridge.
Stage 100 at each bridge, and 10 on roof tops near the bridges where applicable. I think with 5 million zombies it could be close. And still be exciting.
This is so satisfying
This was ridiculous that Dailey didn't give them 2000 Gunners so they could actually maybe get a victory finally at the end.
The rifles they're holding are Mauser K98 bolt action rifles. Guess dev didn't want to spring for an extra rifle design. lol
the only way to stop the flanking is for lack of a better term, a triangle map. extremely high walls with whatever group you are testing backed into the corner. their enemies will have only 1 choice but to come at them head-on.
They aren’t using Mg42’s , They’re using K98 bolt action rifles
The AI in this game is amazing
Try pulling back the flanking troops to the courtyards by the bridge as it funnels them more?
Dang that was a quick flanking lol immediately started after you fast forward lol Totally sucks you can't change the layout. Would have been great to destroy that extra bridge 🤣🤗
100 MG-42 at each bridge sounds perfect 😁 the zombies seem to have access through the water in some areas so flanking is inevitable
Already at 05:41 You can see the problem with defending bridges with open areas behind as to compare to the first bridge... Is that the soldiers will start fire at inconsequential targets on the sides rather than firing on the zombies approaching at the bridge. That is evident a setup for failure. Not only due to the fact bodies in this game actually are physical and pile up rendering a obstacle and cover.
I think next time you run it the exact same way but add that block of like 1000 mg42s on the far far right flank (facing the zombies)
And i bet it would still come out pretty close. Especially if that block of 1000 formations is disrupted by city or land scape again
How about this: Same battle, except that the machine gunners are shooting John Wick’s super bullets.
EDIT: Also, use the Tsunami power to pre-flood some of the areas the zombies traversing to flank the defenders.
Yes, that's what I was thinking. Use tsunami to alter terrain and condition the battle flow. Not only for this bridge defense, but also other scenarios, like ambushes and the like.
Short video request:
5,000 heavy knights and 1,000 archers defending the small hilltop castle against 200 trolls coming from all directions.
I’ll love to see this battle again. This time with 500 Germans and 500 Redcoats and 500 U.s soldiers protecting all the flanks in this same battle. 1500 vs 4 million zombies.
Hate to say it Daily... but the mg42's aren't that great of a unit against mass hordes. Once the body pile builds up, the entire back part of the horde are mostly safe and can keep pushing up into melee. (Which is basically true for every range unit).
Should do a bit more of a 'tweak' to their stats to make them really powerful units overall.
Corpse hills that become bridges guess those zombies suiciding into the river was tactical
Even numbers battle for both sides, Egyptians vs. Spartans. But they both have one chunk norris
Its crazy, i was screaming at the end like it was some kinda last hope. I was like, "No!!! Noooooo!!! Gott en hemmel!"
Can you do urban battles in the city with melee units. Maybe Spartans and Romans
Those time lapses literally killed all the parts of the video we actually want to watch
Daley has created the ultimate Kar 98K. One that can shoot 42 rounds per second! Flawless German Industry keeps getting better and better.
You've probably been asked a heap of times, but what are the specs on your rig? Mine can only run about 800k to 1m units (both sides) before slowing down horribly.
Great vid
Try again with units guarding the rear of each bridge (half the number as the bridge guards themselves)
Tsunamis at the top of mount Olympus!!!
set up a whole army with several batallions and squads with tanks, shotgunners, MGs etc all over the town, and let a huge zombie horde invade
How about positioning the soldiers in the middle of the bridges?
Do something like 420,000 Full auto archers vs. 69,000 Full auto Catapults.
300 Spartans vs millions of chickens! Or 300 Trolls vs millions of chickens! I want millions of chickens! It would be ridiculous!
It’s a real shame the flowing water did not do its job.
create a wall out of tanks or thickly packed units (on the zombie team)with infinite health but 0 damage to clog up choke points and prevent the zombies from moving?
DALEY, you don’t have to cut carbs to lose weight. Don’t diet in a way that makes you miserable. Dieting shouldn’t be miserable.
I knew ya forgot that last bridge.
I'm curious what fire rate you set them to cause if you didn't know the MG42 had an adjustable fire rate that would go from 600 RPM (rounds per minute) to 1200 RPM. 600 was for anti-infantry 1200 was for anti-air purposes.
Idea: do this again but turn on volumetric blood
Let's stain that river a dark zombie blood red shall we?
Can you use those buildings as defense? If so, you could spread a number of soldiers on roof tops say 5-10 guys on each roof top to shoot down on those zombies and that would help them stay safe for a little while.
7:16 I know this sucks, but your body might still be hungry. Try low carb foods such as meat and eggs if you find yourself still hungry.
try more insane amount like 15mil zombies vs 350k modern soldiers!
Doing the time lapses I was just watching the river go up and down
Can you please put 5000 million Spartans? And six thousand million persons versus spartans in egypt map
Unless the visuals aren't showing it correctly, you still have the fire rate set too low :P MG42's ran at 1200 rounds per minute.
Epic video
I think you should do a full auto american ww2 army on mt olympus vs as many romans as possible
No, no, no! Thats waaaay to simple.... Jesus with AK while on the Mt Olympus vs roman is where it's at .
Bro put the gunners on the mountain over looking the city.
Can you make a full auto shotgunner? If so, see how he fares against 5 million zombies.
If you put them on the bridge proper or put the flank protection on guard mode i feel they would of done better
Hey daily I just finally made a CZcams account I've watched your videos for a long time your the best and u inspired me to make my account I'll be realising my very first video tonight so excited I'm only in middle school
Put 100 MG-42s on a single long bridge in the middle.
Looks like K98’s not MG42’s
That first 1 man using a mg42 fire rate was incorrect. The mg42 had an insane fire rate and was called “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” for a reason.
They're holding Kar-98's tho.....
Video 3: bring back Rico’s brigade we were promised season 6
does this game have option to make the zombies tougher?
Machine gunners have to be on buildings and hills to maintain fields of fire
Fire rate of MG 42 is about 1,200-1,500 rounds (high velocity) per minute. With the single German Soldier simulating 1,200-1,500 rounds per minute, should have lasted longer
There was the MG45 ore MG42V too. With 1800 Rounds P/M too.
Put a 100 MGs on a SINGLE bridge in the MIDDLE of a bridge, any bridge. That should solve ALL your probs of flanking, etc. Just a hundred.
love the content and maybe try modern army vs ancient army with a bit less modern men
At what point are you going to figure out the zombies will always flank the long way
The Zombies will find a way to flank the flank somehow even though they have no brains
some unfortunate timelapses here, woulda liked to see them spill over bridge to bridge
13:42 what if you put 20 or so mg42s in the squads watching their 6?
What if MG42, assault troopers, with Shotgunners can hold a bridge?
I like your videos
Why do so many zombies keep dying when all the soldiers are dead? I know some might fall off cliffs etc, but it's so many haha!
Make 1000 Zombies vs all the units in the game
mans running on a nasa computer
Add 1000 Zombies vs all the units even the guard units
Bruh, i swear u time lapse over the best parts, the moment the hordes reach the defenders, let it go back to real time, damn it
should put "carbine set to firerate of mg-42" in the description imho. not what i was expecting to see.
What would be cool if the Corporate Marines from Aliens with the; plasma Pulse Rifles pump action Grenade launchers.
And Robot Centres that was in the corridors destroying the Xenomorphs. We could have a simulation battle? With them Vs the Zombies.
Cool
