Could Modern German Military Power stop the D-Day? - Normandy Landings - Simulation - ARMA 3 

I honestly feel like the Euro fighters would just use anti-ship missiles, sink one big ol' ship per missile.... Even if each fighter only carried 2-3 anti ship missiles, if the Allies lost 400 cruisers, aircraft carriers, battleships, etc. after just a single German sortie? Think about that. There were like 1,500 allied ships if memory serves. Imagine losing ONE THIRD of your invasion/support fleet in the span of say, 5-10 minutes? Forget about all the air traffic coordinating an invasion, can you imagine the CHAOS of 400 ships sending Mayday's and... like... *aaaaahhh* It would be an absolute catastrophe, and every remaining ship would be employed saving survivors and evacuating back to Britain. I can't imagine anyone sustaining losses that severe and thinking "actually, let's continue this invasion." Absolute nightmare fuel.

The modern German army would likely use modern tactics as well. No allied armor would make it off the beach. Attack helicopters main job is killing tanks, not strafing the water with the anti-tank canon. With laser guided anti-tank missiles, the attack helicopters wouldn’t need to expose themselves to enemy fire at all. The effective range of the chain gun on the helicopters is significantly longer than anything 1940s troops had available and every DU round would punch through a Sherman tank like tissue paper. Why were the modern German troops in the fortifications firing assault rifles at landing craft? The troops in the fortifications would also have missiles and recoilless rifles capable of taking out a 1940s landing craft, or at least killing every one in it. Modern cluster munitions and fuel-air explosives would destroy entire companies of 1940’s era troops in one shot if any of them did make it to the beach. Also, Germany does have a significant Navy. I doubt any 1940’s allied capital ship would make it out of port when opposed by modern submarines. The only limit would be the number of torpedos and anti-ship missiles the Germans have in stock. A modern coastal patrol missile boat has more firepower than a 1940’s destroyer and a missile range of 100+ miles vs a 1940’s naval gun range of maybe 5 miles. The 1940’s allied navy would never even see their modern era opponents. The Normandy invasion was a very close thing and tens of thousands of allied soldiers lost their lives against the 1940s German army. It wouldn’t have been close if they were fighting the modern German military. In the 1990’s Iraq war, US forces obliterated the Iraqi army in Kuwait with almost no losses and Iraq had 1970’s era weaponry. A 21st century army fighting a 1940s army would be even more lopsided.

Bias in it’s best form. So much missing on the German side. Roland AA System, Generally Rocket Systems, Anti Tank Infanterie is missing, And so on.

The germans would control the air in a very short time and at that point would control the tempo of the battle. German air could also sink most of the allied shipping at night as they did not have radar.

6:10 we got Normandy Drift up in here

This is BRILLIANT...What military history guy hasn't thought about this? Thank you...

Imagine being a WWII German soldier and see your reinforcements from the future still using a MG42.

How did you get the boats to not turn away? For me they always turn around and drive away from the beach

Eurofighters are one thing, but why not to use Tornados against ships and sunk some of them, also I don't see any use of infantry anti tank missiles, not sure if they got Javelin or something more similar, but all would be good enough to get to kill Shermans

3:52 *Ah yes, Hood*

Awesome

So basically jake paul vs (prime) mike tyson.....The allies are still a military force but outmatched in every way..

Where is leopard 2

Can we download this mission?

Wolfenstein type beat

Welcome to 6.0 warthunder

This guy would have the modern day german army lose to the British army under wellington. Lmao 🤣

No cannons for and naval gun emplacements modern german army?why they did not replace it with leopard tanks and antiship missiles. Cant believe allies will win hehe even of they invade the beach, i doubt they will continue to move forward

unfair no anti tank guns or shoulder fire anti tank weapons I may understand why there no panzers but American army hade tanks and all other shit in you're other video.....

This reminds me of the beach mission in cod mw3

Con misiles anti superficie hubieran destruido los buques y ni hubiera habido artillería naval apoyando en la playa, misiles antitanque, no creo que hubieran pasado de la playav

Take another idea plz Ww2 DDay nazi german vs Vietnam war era (1960s us military) US Military vehicles ❤

What game is this

What game is this I like to play this game let's play some kind of computer mod and I'm a console gamer so I miss out on cool s*** like this but yeah that'd be fun to play

Funny is that the modern Germany is using mg3 or modern mg42 with some modern german machine guns but still the Germans are really advanced especially those mantises are terrifying because they burst open like an explosion but every shot bullet and 1000 round per minute really fast maybe not super fast but every bullet is a programmable bullet mean while an American mini gun shoot faster but will miss but every bullet won't explode so german one better when it comes to the weapons but the rang not great but still german engineering at it's finest and everything else in ferman military is advanced i mean there weapon in WW2 were advanced and look how far germany has come i wana see Germans fighting aliens that would interesting because it's german engineering 🇩🇪🦾🧠💪 german engineering sense the being of german existence there history in all technology but mainly there fighting forces and defensesiv positions like them using an mg3 machine gun and all the other weapons could combined german engineering

Wolfenstein?

Ginne7628 is write do why don't Morden day us army help there ww2 allies

This is not realistic because the ki is not like a real person

In conclusion, nothing and no one can stop D-Day

You are being Biased.

Too many handicap for Germany...😅

🇮🇹..ma per piacere... Avrebbero fatto polpette degli alleati...🤨

Bullshit. Where are Leopards? Ballistic missles? German modern warships?

I feel alot of people missed the point of this tbh....this is a good show of how military tactics have changed over the years. WW2 Era tactics are very big on major defense in order to counter an offense. In modern times we don't really do a major defense and if we did it fails because modern offense is stronger than our defense. Everyone keeps mention that the modern Germans would have prevented the fleet from even making it to the coast or would have destroyed the ships while landing. But failed to see how that is more of an offensive stance with modern tactics using modern equipment. This simulation did a good job of showing WW2 tactics With WW2 equipment vs WW2 tactics with modern equipment. Along with that a modern German army with lower troop counts would technically still be fighting the soviet union on its eastern front. Thus not having its whole might siting on the coast waiting.

ofc attack helicopter fly into enemy fire so fail this video

Only with GOD'S HELP! and General ROMMEL Being Ordered to another area! Was we able to get OFF THE Beach! PRAISE GOD!

idk if its just me or is it cursed to see modern German Flag on Beaches? and uniforms instead of the Swastika XD or German ww2 Cross would Adolf Hitler be democratic like modern Day Germany? and not Fascist? idk

1 word, biass

Well of course the germans are gonna lose with you controlling them, literally can't play so you make cinematics now. Also the video is scripted because no way in hell would the allied win in this scenario, flip it and no way the germans would win that's just how technology works.

Naaahhh i dont think so

the marder is old and from the DDR

No germany would not attack allies

lmao us wuz strong n still is

Conclusion : By the time, the Allies would take Normandy, German mechanised division would already reach there and obliterate the Allies.

Awesome

So inaccurate. There is no way the beaches would be touched. Modern firepower and C3I would mow them down. The helicopters alone would deal with the fleet let alone laser target designation for any support weapons.

80 year old army against one of 2021. This is a joke . The US wouldn't stand a chance. The modern Germans would seen the fleet before they left their harbors.

no arty support. no ATGM. no MBT. this is so US bias lol. (watched this after modern US normandy version)

Fun fact about D-Day, apparently the only ship to hit its D-Day target was USS Texas because the captain ordered one side of the ship to be flooded to give the guns more elevation.

Wanna make it accurate with not having an German armoured unit on the field but still have a lot of Sherman on the beach kekw, when in reality there wasn’t much Sherman, mostly sunk in the channel and the one that made it to the beach got sniped by the anti tank guns. This is bias to the extreme

Just found this channel and I find it very amusing, however very bias as well. German air force alone would decimate most of the allied navy and most of the airplanes. Not a single allied soldier would make it to the shore, not alive at least.

This bias is so thick its creating new universe

BIAS that is not the full arsenal of modern german

Something is wrong.. First, why the jet fighter just beat the bombers? The jet fighter can fire the missiles and many bomb and giving the reinforcement to land system. Second, where are german navys? Then, where is an self propelled guns? And where are the MLRS? Those wapons can beat the navy ships. And german have navy too. And jet fighters will attack the battleship. Third, modern weapon is most powerful then ww2. Leopard can beat 10 tanks. But there isn't tank. where are hell the arilltery? They have to fire the cannon for beating allies. And MLRS!! Where are they? Modern military had upgraded the long distances waepon and the air forces. But in this video, they didn't use them. This is unbelievable.

You did forget that the Eurocopter has PARS and hellfires and the optics is above the rotor so you cann launch the Atgms behind over destroy the ships or anti air then come closer and use auto cannon

This is just not a good simulation and highly unrealistic with how it plays out, despite modern germany defending the beaches during the D-day landings, in the end the allies takes the beaches with more losses and simply are stalled for a bit more time, if it was more realistic even if modern german military somehow had similar constraints to their ww2 counterpart, taking the modern tech and all other equipment the BW would have had, D-day would have failed, i actually had a friend run a sim of this and despite the numerical disrepancy, the allies still could not even secure a single beachhead, even on the least fortified and manned location, the ships close enough to shell got sunk by surface to ship missiles and by jet aircrafts dropping bombs on other naval targets. Please make a rework that is more realistic cause this is just wishful imaginary thinking, this kind off is an insult to both combatants in it, Allies win simply cause of WW2 vanilla plot armour, Eisenhower actually had a speech prepared for the case of the landings being a failure, iow they were not even sure that d-day would be a success.

ok... you dont add MBT´s, but you allow IFV´s? The Bundeswehr integrates its mechanised Infantry into the Armored Divisions. No Leopard 2? Then there should be also no Panzergrenadiere (mech infantry in Puma or Marder), wich are also only used by the active combat personnel. The Reserve is only trained for limited combat and operates in logistics and support roles, like performing guard duties etc. What whould be sitting on that shoreline would be Jäger, light infantry operating from Boxer APC, supported by Boxer IFV/Wiesel-1 TOW-2 and MK20 plus M106 Mortar Carriers etc. The Gepard AA Tank is no longer in service in the Bundeswehr since 2010. The Gepard and Mantis would be at the outer edge of their range, when engaging WW2 Bombers, as they were designed to engage low level close range targets like Attack Helicopters and Ground Attack Aircraft.

From the start i knew how it ends lol.... How unrealistic is this? Where are the ATGMs? SAMs? N i guess the tiger attack helicopter wont go down that easily with small calibre gunfire.... N btw i came here after watching modern american invading normandy. 😅 so onesided it is

So inaccurate. German Tank division with Leopard 2A7s are faster and would have arrived on the beaches before the allies took the beach. The allies didn't have anti-aircraft guns with them on the beaches, German Tiger attack helicopters has enough armor to sustain 50.cal rounds. German Strike aircraft ( Gr4 ) would have arrived and dropped thousands of anti-infantry cluster bombs. In addition, Type 214 submarines would be sinking the ships supporting the landings and German jets would be firing anti ship missile at those allied battleships. UAV's in the German army could be reconfigured to carry bombs. ATGM's would also be present on the beaches. German patriot batteries and 155mm Artillery would be shelling the beaches with pin point accuracy. The M270 MLRS that German army operates would arrive and Absolute obliterate infantry and vehicles. Historically, Allies didn't have anti-aircraft guns on the beaches, allies didn't have many Sherman's ( just over a dozen on every beach ), German forces did have panzer's 4 at the beaches, Germany did also have Artillery, German U-boats we're also present and sinking ships, High altitude bombers from Germany was dropping radio guided Fritz-X bombs at the allied ships. In addition, The panzer's would have arrived on the beaches before the Allies took it if it wasn't for the paratroopers blocking the route so with the Modern German army they would steam roll the Paratroopers and reach the beaches.

why the anti-airs are so useless? Can't they shoot down a plane with 300km/h?

Hitler: NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN...

Where's the leopards

Какой отстой! а как же береговые ракетные комплексы противокорабельной обороны? где же ПТУР на БМП Puma?? где Karl Gustav у пехоты? где ПЗРК у пехоты? Правдоподобности 0, параша а не симуляция. 3/10

Bro the Mantis would kill the allied bombers 10km befor they could reach the Beach

Definitely bent. There was artillery at the beaches besides the major coastal guns. Where are the AT teams, and AFV's with guided missiles. They would not have lost a single helicopter because the maximum range for machine guns in anti air is maybe 1500 meters. Two thousand if they were lucky. While the helicopters would be firing their missiles from way further back and would not even likely be seen. The interesting thing would be the modern anti shipping missiles. Could they have breached the armour of the big ships? I think not. You don't want to include tanks OK, but artillery would have been there and firing at a rate and concentration never dreamed of. The pre-invasion air drop would have been annihilated off the coast because the German air force don't need daylight to use radar. Nicely managed for an allied victory.

The new wolfenstien game looks nice!

Modern German has given so many handicap to WW2 Allied forces. Next is at full power so we can watch true -Battle-

With only 137 aircraft, they could had obliterate most important ships of the allies navy…

nice but this probably wont happen considering modern germany hates naz1 (ww2 germany)

This also assumes a complete doctrinal change as there was virtually no German air support over the landing on the first day. The allies should still have complete air superiority but you should probably allow the Germans to have their coastal guns too.

No P2000 Panzerhaubitze or any other long-range artillery for the Germans, nor anti-tank capabilities (Panzerfaust 3??) etc. Conclusion: Any extremely thinned down modern force would lose. 3/10 for this biased bs.

i knew from the start...but still able to inflict that much damage with so few, just goes to show you 80+ years of advancements in tech could do

us-bias bs.

Those ifv can shoot through the Sherman like butter and how did the ifv die so fast

In reality German would’ve just used the jets and ballistic missiles to sink the ships before they got in range to deploy 😐

I'm surprise those ships even got that close to the shore.

Why are the vehicles stationed on the beach? WW2 artillery may not have digital fire control…But they’re not firing fluffy bunnies!

I know our military sucks, but c'mon man. No way the allies would even be able to touch the coast.

sorry don't buy it at all. fighters would have easily taken out landing ships. helicopters easily taken care of any armor, ww2 anti aircraft would not be on the beach.

Lol.... A few Gepards take out most of the allied airforce and most of the landing crafts long before they reach the beach...

That was unrealistic

Please please do for okinawa!

Bruh Germany has ATGMs, Artillery, SAMs and Anti Ship Missiles.

The issue is you have all the stuff sitting and waiting on them. The deception of where they were going to land kept a lot of their reserves well away from the landings and they didnt have enough equipment and men to "flood the zone" everywhere.

No... This is impossible..

almost all the sherman sink and don't reach the beach...and you forgot the leopard II

Why wouldn't the Typhoons and Tornadoes hit the invasion fleet before they deployed landing craft? Or when they were in the British harbors? Lol

Very funny but majority of Excpeditnal forces would never let Englenad it would be sink by Tomahawk from German Submarines and Ship. But invasion would never happen Germany would eeasy won battle of Britain. But it is funny game i like Arma 3.

LMAO. Gee will 21st century technology be better than early 20th century tech? Why don't you update both armies then run the sim. But I guess you wouldn't need to, a squad of F22s would just f*ck up that coastline

Why the german have tanks no tanks but the allies have.... The allies had no tanks like the germans

😂😂 wrong video as can i see you are American I will tell this truth if that happens the Air Force will destroy the allied forces before start landing

Nice game but a bit ridiculous, since with current missiles the ships would not arrive to the beaches.👍

Where are the Eurofighters gone 🤔i think this Simulation is completely wrong

How could stop the d-day if your wehrmacht army's 85% was on the eastern front?😏

They would just use smoke and thermic vision the alies would see white and die

the modern germans doesn't know that they have sams. Oh what about thier subs.

Last video USA is have modern tecnology Now german UNO REVERSE

Patriots, manpads, mlrs, leopard 2?

If u know how big allies power during D-Day! Eventually Quantity will surpassed the Quality. Even the Technology is 5 step Behind

it’s simple old tech doesn’t stand a chance against new tech
