- This game is actually incredible. The sounds, the graphics, the historical attention to detail. From the locations to the weapons they have absolutely nailed it.
Also I have started streaming on twitch these days which is where I got the footage for this. Having friends along and the randomness of the gameplay made for something far more entertaining to watch I think.

Alternate title: Historian went back in time to satisfy his nerdy desires
And instantly regrets it.
You'll have to start doing "Part" numbers. Since that description matches all these videos.
Your videos make me feel like I'm watching Steve Irwin: the time traveling warlife expert. "Crickey, that's a Puma and a Panzer II! I'm gonna get in and take a closer look. (lays right on top of PzII) Look at those beautiful viewpoints."
I was thinking the same thing! LMAO
He’s suppose to piss it off, to see it’s reaction
7:56 The Pz.II's crew must have been having a freaking rave inside
The modeling is nice but the developers neglect armor a lot. The physics engine is broken, tank bugs are constantly arising, and a lot of tanks are missing viewports
3:43 It's not just "Jonathan Ferguson from the Royal Armouries Museum".
It's "Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK"
Imagine having an armouries museum at all lol
As someone from Leeds, I was not expecting the Armouries to be mentioned!
Which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history
Everyone taking cover from direct german fire and dying.
Animarchy stands tall: "Look at these rivets!"
16:35 What makes the idea of driving down a singular highway and expecting it to work even more galling is that this exact scenario had been one of the exam questions posed to officer-cadets at the KMA, the Dutch Army Staff College, before the war. Anyone who was stupid enough to suggest going down that single highway was failed on the spot - but of course the British never asked their Dutch colleagues any of this. (see: Beevor, Arnhem: Battle for the Bridges, Viking 2018, pp.66)
And the funny thing is that it almost worked
@@tedarcher9120 ..it never even came close to working.
@@louisavondart9178 well, because germans happened to have a tull detraining ss panzer division in the area
I was going to say I read that exact line from that book! Love Antony Beevors writing on Stalingrad and Berlin as well.
@@tedarcher9120 "almost working" is the same as not working
“Is that a dead German?”
>Tank round flies past his head
Almost a dead Aussie. Watch yaself.
Also, I absolutely love how you went behind enemy lines and managed to sneak up on an armored car, JUST for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of the cars.
I could just imagine the crew inside listening to some maddened allied soldier just critiquing away at their vehicle
@@LeMeowAu the real reason they shot at him lol
One thing missing from the uniforms is that very often, given the heavy loads that paratroopers carried, they added pads made from blanket or other material for the M1936 packs and suspenders. The pack attaches with a clip onto a D ring at the shoulder designed such that if you have more than a pair of socks in the pack it digs into your shoulders. Later (Rhine crossing?) a set of M1936 suspenders with built in padding had been made available, but I am not sure how many got issued. Certainly there were a lot that didn't get issued.
I like how PS has a very very in depth test range that shows vehicles and weapons, but he chooses to go over things in a live game. It makes it 10x more hilarious that his squadmates are turning into mist and hes like hmmm yes those boots are perfect
“More Astronauts come from Ohio than anywhere else, Ohio is so bad even Ohioans don’t even wanna be on the planet anymore”
I feel ATTACKED considering I’m an Ohioan who goes to college in John Glenn’s hometown
In case anyone else is wondering, NO, Ohio does NOT endorse the ATF or its criminal history and presence over the American people.
What does the joke about Ohio mean it seems pretty fine. I’ve lived there for most of my life.
@@keirj2124 Ohio has a launch of astronauts that came from here for some reason, plus Ohio slander jokes lol, idk why we always have to catch the stray shots
@@ATFprdepartment oh ok lol
Who??
I love Post Scriptum so much, I just wish it had more players
It's a really good game. I think Problem is that the team is to small, they can't focus for more on marketing, selling only on Steam with the established community can't make your company grow.
@@Manu-rb6eo .. it was a good game. Now it's an exercise in frustration with constant bugs, crashes and " death from nowhere ".
@@louisavondart9178 I heard about these issues, I assume they're working on it.
I'm sorry for you dude but I have absolutely now bugs, crashes or things like that 🤔.
If you have AMD stuff I heard that could be the problem....
@@louisavondart9178 I don't think you got any idea what you are talking about. If the game crashes it must be your hardware. It does not crash on me. I don't know what bugs you mean. There have been issues (invisible grenades for example) after engine update 2 month ago but they got fixed. And death from nowhere is just not a thing. You probably just fail to understand what hit you because you are lacking experience.
Hell let loose is lightyears better anyway, and is super populated 247, I thought Post Scriptum was better, never got hell let loose, but wow I decided to and.... yeah, MILES better in every way.
17:14 My favourite quote: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail".
Love the consistent theme of 1940s vehicle crewmen just blasting EDM and JPop.
101st airbone always gets the spot. Damn, what about my boys at the 82nd? They were the ones who made more jumps than the 101st would ever dream off back in ww2.
there are quite a few maps with the 82nd in the game as well.
I mean they have a whole game to themselves but it is from medal of honor before the devs went to modern era because call of duty.
This game is an absolute love letter to WW2 History Buffs, especially the tribute devs pay to make sure uniforms of the designated infantry section on that year on that map are accurate.
23:08
"Is that our truck?"
"No that's a German truck."
Didn't see the truck but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Ford so he would have been partially right 😂
Absolutely loved this video! The random fun facts throughout the vid made it so interesting, keep it up!
Kind of worth mentioning about the Garand's sight in HLL; It -used- to be modeled more correctly, but a lot of people complained about not being able to see. For gameplay consideration they widened the aperture. Though I'm pretty sure they also initially modeled it after a post-war M1, too, though there has been talk of redoing it.
4:44 that shit really scared me, lol. Like it felt way too real, I think I need to play this game.
It’s dead now sadly
Don't listen to the guy above, usually at least one full english server every night.
@@ShadowFistz lol one full server ok and the devs just abandon the game leaving it with the shittiest optimization anyone has ever seen in a game
@@wallclock4648 yeah one server at least on the weekdays. Get your ass up and get a better pc, all I hear is how much better this game runs than squad and other tac fps.
@@ShadowFistz my pc is fine, the game runs like shit. If you think it’s good then your bar is low
I dont know if you mentioned it, but the way you hold the 1911 is the correct grip at the time too. Commonly referred as the Bullseye stance
41:00 Bren was very accurate for MG, so its pretty accurate if you rather use it as an assault rifle.
Ah yes Market Garden, and absolute Fluster Cluck.
Wait you watch this channel? Never knew.
with a similar repeat by russia during their attempted encirclement of kiev
@@wealthybone2990, Yes I do, glad you do too.
Yup, my grandfather was there with the 501st. Actually got wounded a few days into the operation. I have the date on his discharge papers.
@@John-mf6ky Oh shit that’s cool.
Best WWII Shooter out there... more ppl should play it....
The effect you do, of adding music when in the presence of vehicles, is great, gives them personality,❤
Hey brother! Glad you could finally get with this game! I have almost 300 hours in PS so it's great to see you who have quickly became one of my favorite Tubers play one of my favorite games! 🙏
11:35 "Since they repaved the street, it became a Racetrack."
Panzer IV G: "Did I heard Racetrack?!" *muffled 130 Dezibel Panzerlied intensifies*
Its Panzer IV Ausf H which was fitted with Schurzen and armarment was KwK L/48 cannon and Panzer IV G was armed with Kwk L/43 cannon
I was eagerly anticipating the tunes every time a vehicle appeared on screen, loved it!
Best anecdote about japanese army/navy rivalry.
Army: Enemy bombers fly over water, it's a navy problem.
Navy: The bombers hit land targets, It's an Army problem.
Japanese people: OUR SKIN IS MELTING!!!
>Formation of Army landing ships existing.
Navy (IJN Mogami CA): "I'm about to do a gamer move and get a torpedo quintuple kill feed."
Both Military Branches: what an Honor
I need to watch your live streams more... I love your historical rants
History rants are what I'm here for! Keep it up!
I love the music whenever there is a vehicle. Gets me every time.
Blood on The Risers, my favorite song
Came for the Hans Joachim Marseille documentary. Stayed for the funny Post Scriptum videos. Wonderful stuff. Have a sub! :)
On the Veghel map, if you check out grid A8 you can find a farm that is a recreation of the real life farm that stood there back in 1944. There's an aerial photo hanging on a wall inside of the house that shows an image of the real life farm as it was back during WW2 so you can compare the photograph to the farm in game.
Love this game, wish there was more players, I can recognize like 10+ players name in the chat
i love how everytank you encounter they just chilling inside with loud music
This is great to see because this is one of my favorite games of all time
@7:55 hahaha the music coming from inside the tank XD
Um akshually, this kind of peep sight doesn't look like that when you actually use the sights. The closest to real life look of the garand sights is from brothers in arms games where the rear peep gets sort of blurry and see through so it doesn't obstruct your vision as much. I've always hated how games make it hard to see anything when you use these types of irons.
Brothers in Arms uses a ADS model which blends 2D to the rear sight.
Nitpick much?
07:50 is golden lol, also that they were bumping house music in their tank
Love the vehicles playing music
6:52 I feel like I am watching a nature documentary.
congrats, finally a channel, where i (no english mother tongue) can understand ingame someone from 'murica. great content - thumbs up!
A few things I noticed is that the us uniforms are of the m42 variety which was what all paratroopers wore during the Normandy campaign. M42 are distinguished by the od green reinforcements on the knees and elbow as well as the pockets. During market garden there was a large influx of new replacements to fill the ranks in the airborne units and they would
Have been issued the newer m43 uniform which a darker shaded than the iconic m42s. Also the airborne were not used BARs, it wasn’t under the TO&E.
omg that overlay music every time a vehicle/tank passes by XD
Lmfao I love Squire cameo @ 41:36
I cannot believe you ve put numă numă iei xD I love you for that
now I want Animarcy to review every weapon and vehicle in post scriptum (used the test range for easy access, also in the test range have every uniform in game so you can review it better)
Hey nice to see you check out this game! Btw check out the French when you get the chance in the game
Gonna give this a go right now! You should check out the Post Scriptum Realism Mod. It makes an enormous amount of changes and is currently receiving its biggest updates yet in both functionality as well as content. I have a (now outdated) video for Realism Mod Recruitment, that goes over a few of the major changes in the mod. So much has happened since then though to make it even better. Check out the video on my channel. It's also full of realism event videos from our weekly events where we're not just runnin' and gunnin' like in vanilla pubs. Keep up the great work!
5:20 The Armored Car blasting eurobeat sent my sides into orbit
im suprsied yall were able to find an active server
LETS GOOOOO E4 MAFIA
Small edit: I love how every single video I've watched so far you're able to identify the exact plane model as they are zooming by every time
While I'm over here just seeing giant blurs zooming across my screen and running in the opposite direction of where they came from
Its a problem man. My level of Autism regarding aeroplanes can be probably considered a unique condition.
the armored car blasting some eurobeat picture perfect accuracy lol
By Market Garden, airborne troops were outfitted with M1943 uniforms with double buckle boots, which was the same uniform that all troops would eventually end up wearing. The only difference for paratroopers is that they continued to use the M1936 field pack and their riggers sewed cargo pockets and tie down straps on the thighs of the trousers.
Just found your great site hope you can do more looks at the stories in battlefield one and call of duty black ops cold war
You know why the game looks so good ,you were playing in the Netherlands.
i guess the vehicle crewmen are having so much fun blasting those music
You have my pals ImMorty and Irish on your team, they are super solid and you are very lucky
Note with the M1 Garand is the character holds it in the proper fashion. GIs were trained to move with their rifles parallel and at a diagonal angle to their bodies. Just look up pictures of WW2 GIs with their weapons and you'll see what I mean.
Whenever I hear “Rendezvous with Destiny” i remember how I used to think it was pronounced literally how it was spelled cus I was like 9 or 10 when I first played Brothers in Arms
Clan 9.SS Aufklärungs Abteilung here since 2018 best game ever for us, using the mod PSRM, maybe wanna look inside of it, lots of new Maps, Tanks, uniforms, assets and insides of vehicles
Do you have the links to the music you used in this?
I know gas gas gas but I don’t know how to find that version of Erika you had playing while you were investigating the panzer II 😅
And the rest of the music tbh 😅
Like.. was that a version of panzerlied later?
Having a Cromwell playing God Save the king is pretty fun.
We should go tanking in a stuart some time, man this thing is rad. Also never thought how awful visibility in a panzer 4 was
Goddamn hit me with a The Castle reference do ya!
(It’s a fucking excellent movie)
P.s the Bren is beautiful
Animarchy almost got sent to the moon in that bridge
The fucking music in every single vehicle
@10:28 I was thinking "you might wanna make sure he didnt have any team mates with him before you go looking at....BANG!.......told ya"
The .30cal in the beginning is a stinger which was only use in the Pacific theater and as far as I know only on Iwo Jima
No, these are the Browning M1919A6. You can tell by the metal buttstock with the exaggerated buttplate curvature.
11:02 it's an Erbsentarn uniform that was produced in 1937
Pac loves the Bren like I love the B.A.R lol
found this video in the history channel. very educational first 3 minutes i would say.
iv had legit band of brothers/ saving private ryan moments in this game, where im 100 percent into it and loving it, just wish they had 100 player servers at least.
was that tank playing techno music inside? Very historically accurate 🤣
6:42 I imagined this part with David Attenborough’s voice
one thing i noticed in this game, everyone who uses a vehicle busts out EDM
@animarchy History The mod Community is very busy updating stuff like PSRM (Postscriptum-Realsm-Mod) i'm part of a unit called 6th GA and with PSRM the Devs of the mods have at added more factions and tanks if you want a look around you can reach us or me :p and i will see what we can fix for you to showcase this good looking game
9:14 “Tony Soprano has disconnected”
From the thumbnail I was thinking this would be an older professor or something not the exact target demographic of this game which is predisposed towards loving it anyway
when you were looking at the ss uniforms the body you said had a G43 because of the pouch it was actually a medic pouch
Watching this on September 17, 2023, the anniversary of Operation Market Garden.
Apropos IJN/IJA boat business ... MacArthur had his own little navy too ... most of his New Guinea landings were in Army boats with Army drivers ... oh, the horror ...
Hope this gets more players on post scriptum
37:23 That guy got turned into a Chiken Nugget
"your content is bloody incredible"
I’ve only seen the bar without the bipod in saving private Ryan and MoH rising sun, everywhere and everyone else has the bipod
Pretty sure I saw both variations in band of brothers but can’t confirm at this point
41:00 And the Irish turned it into a sniper rifle.
RAAAH its back
Never died for me XD
But omg I'm so happy theyre working on it again.
The last 6 months have been tough playing the game I can't lie.
enough people to play a game in the evening but it's been so upsetting seeing the game die in front of me :(
I honestly know everyone playing the game in the last 6 months, theres like 100 of us all in all hahahaha😆
blimey! look it's a wild Puma and a wild pz. II in their natural habitat. let's see if we can get a closer look shall we?
4:44 “history acurrate this!"
I consider Post Scriptum to be the best WW2 shooter as well as MilSim. Way better than Hell Let Loose to me. Hell Let Loose is definitely what you'd want to go with if you want Arcade Realism though. If you want a MilSim, or either, I'd definitely recommend Post Scriptum.
I'm pretty sure Animarchy played this game to rid himself of the nightmares Vanguard left.
First of all, he touched on the Garand sights a bit but what he didn’t mentioned is the reason they were thick. So if you look at a real Garand’s back sight it’s super duper tiny. But, when you look down the sight it looks much wider. This is because John C. Garand found a trick where when light shined through the back sight it would play a trick on your eyes and make it look much bigger than it really was. That’s a oversimplification but that’s why he said the sights are suppose to be much thicker than most games model them to be. Sadly, games can’t render actual lightning yet so thicker sights like this is the closest we will get without making the sights unuse able.
Second of all, I was looking to buy Post Scriptum but people say it’s completely dead. Is it popular enough to at least fill a couple servers?
One server is full almost constantly. 506th PIR. And occasionally a second server. But yeah its a smaller community.
@@AnimarchyHistory Dude you are quick on the draw. One minute after I posted this you were here. Thank you btw. I always liked Hell Let Loose’s armor more than something like Squad but it sounds like Post Scriptum is like the ascended version of both games’ armor gameplay. So this game may get a new customer
If you're in the US there's 1-2 servers. If you're in EU there's like 3+ during prime time but usually 2
donde consigo esas animaciones de arriba a la izquierda
Whats even crazier about market garden is I read they knew it was gonna be a logistical nightmare but truly felt that it could work and if it did they'd be home by christmas so they went for it
One of my favorite details was that the German commanders, when presented with captured plans for the operation, immediately dismissed them as fake, because the Brits would never try something so insane.
Operation Market Garden was mostly to keep Monty's name in the newspapers and newsreels.
No matter what rank a soldier is chasing medals is a bad idea.
32:00 you can say he went..."Airborne"
man, you should try tanking. Devs spent a year reworking the mechanics and you can do anything such as peeking your hatch so you can see outside, its so good
Man would love to play PS on one of the French maps with you
