OVERLORD as a One Man Operation - Sniper Elite 5 

You've got to love the historical accuracy of these games. Very few people know that the original Normandy invasion crashed and had to have a hard reset.

I legit thought the first 30 seconds was an issue on my end until bigMooney scared the crap out of me somehow by speaking

As they say "A good landing is one you walk away from, a great landing is one where you can re-use the plane again"

Paddy refuses to go prone when he can deflect bullets with his face. The enemy needs to know who's there.

"That's a bad shot... That was also a bad shot... that's a bullet proof bush..." Ah, the things that make me cackle.

You'd think with the kind of missions Paddy goes on he'd be getting entire divisions to support him

I haven’t commented here in a while so I’d just like to say that I love your videos. Honestly some of the funniest stuff on RU-vid.

Mooney, if you're curious about "super snipers" as you called them, I'd highly recommend you look up Simo Häyhä, aka the White Death. He was a Finnish sniper in the Winter War. The war lasted just over 100 days and he had over 500 confirmed kills. And he took a mortar round to the face and SURVIVED, living until 2002. Absolute legend.

Your division gets called to go to Normandy: 'soldier' " So, who are our reinforcements"? 'Colonel' "Don't worry men, you've got paddy fuckin strongjaw with you, you'll be fine"

Can't wait to see Mooney play the new map on hitman when it comes out tomorrow. Love the sniper elite videos

I've genuinely forgotten that the character's name is Karl Fairburne. He will forever be Paddy in my mind.

I can't even tell what really killed that man at 10:04 the bullets or his body folding itself in an impossible way. That face would scare anyway who looks at it. At 22:20 that's a Panz Tiger Tank in life the weakest spots are the exhaust in the back and its belly which is the weakest spot of that tank.

13:20 "they say paddy can't see you if you stay still" *guy gets forgotten until he moves*

Always good to see more adventures of Paddy. That tank, by the way, is a Tiger II

5:52 Not many people know but Paddy used to be a professional flamingo impersonator before joining the army

....the Rangers deployed on the beach, not via glider. While there were deployments via glider (in particular, the British 1st Para made use of them while storming Pegasus Bridge), they weren't used to deploy Rangers. They also weren't DEPLOYED AT DAY. The paratroopers deployed the night before the soldiers hit the beaches. (Edit: Watching further into the video, you are correct. There are multiple occasions of paratroopers getting stuck in trees, as well as a few occasions of gliders crashing into trees. Most of them avoided foliage, but there were a few.) To their credit, though, the gliders were effective at what they did. While the landings were usually if not always rough, they were designed to drop heavier equipment (Jeeps, AT guns, etc) as well as deliver large groups of paras to one location, as opposed to the much-less reliable method of using actual parachutes. There is a reason that the gliders were done away with (helicopters comes to mind) but for the time, they were pretty good at what they did. As for the tank question: "Panzer" is just German for "tank", so all German tanks were panzers. The one everyone knows is the Tiger; that was the big, mean motherfucker of a heavy tank. (The one you saw was a Tiger II, or "King Tiger".) The Panther was a medium tank of similar quality (read: good at killing, notoriously difficult to maintain). Those two were the big cats. The most common German tank, however, was the Panzer IV, which was... good. Not perfect, but a decent tank. The tank at the bridge was an armored car, not a tank, so the armor was much thinner but it was much more mobile. Side note about German tanks; the Allies always knew how many Tigers, Panthers, etc. had been produced because they just figured out the highest number tank they'd killed. The Germans always named their tanks "Tank I, Tank 2, Tank 3..." (i.e. Tiger #1, Tiger #2, Tiger #3...), so if the Allies killed Tiger #233, they knew at least 233 Tigers had been made.

After playing allot of rounds of survival on this game I never thought I’d return to it in any way but Mooney himself has brought me right back to it and I’m enjoying the content on it, bravo!

That soldier's bio lol... Pete MacAlasdair worrying about Kevin sounds a lot like Home Alone 😂

That sudden burst of KSP music around 27:15 confused the shit out of me :D

I’ve been subscribed to you for many, many years already. Don’t know if I ever commented on your videos apart from some Hitman stuff years ago. Just wanted to say I love the way you make your videos and I love how you have remained yourself through all these years. Never change man, never change. Oh and I just love Scottish, it just sounds epic in between all the British and American content creators.

Patty is such a bad ass, he survived the crash with out even wearing a helmet

I kinda wish they had a mode or something where you could be in the battle of Stalingrad or Berlin or any of the main battles, with ally NPCs being pinned down and killed around you as you tried to save as many as you could, flanking and taking out priority targets. Sniper Elite 3 had something close to this with the battle of Tobruk but they didn’t quite go all the way with it. Ah well.

23:21 And he had that look on his face that said "I can't believe its not butter". 😂

Also Normandy happened 4 days ago. This mission takes place on the 11th of june

11:24 even Paddy needs to stop for a quick pee break

A single snipe4 killing a couple hundred soldiers isn't entirely unheard of in WW2. There was Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper during the Winter War. In 100 days, he killed between 250 and 500 Soviet soldiers. He had a confirmed kill count of 138 between December 1 and December 22, 1939. Then there is Ludmilla Pavlichenko, the Soviet sniper, who has a confirmed 309 kills between June and October 1941. There was also a German Sniper who had 345 confirmed kills. Sniping was crazy as hell in WW2.

Aye pal, they used the Franc even under German control as it was a satellite currency of the German Reichsmark. Also love it how you called the flak "Wehrmacht fireworks"; I say this because people tend to just think Wehrmacht meant army but actually it was the umbrella term for the German military as a whole as it encompassed the Heer (army), Luftwaffe (airforce) and Kriegsmarine (Navy). Nowadays they're the Bundeswehr.

This is the 1 level that I royally fucked up 1st time. They sounded the alarm, I tried to run away but got pinned down and I ended up crouched down behind a shed as 30 Germans ran back and forth a few feet from where I was hiding. They never saw me but they never stopped searching. The second I took one out, Kraut hell-fire rained down on me.

I've watched the first 2mins and I'm already laughing my ass off 🤣. Good vid m8.

Ah yes, the little-known Vengeance Weapon called the Pixelator.

Right on time for me to destress when I'm tying the loose ends in my MPhil thesis while debugging the program involved, which is always one of my biggest fears. I owe you a big one again, Mooney❤ EDIT: We either tie the loose ends or work out the kinks, I got some brainfart lol

Bro that nade at the start was fucking crazy good shit

Retracted his leg into himself 🤣 pure goat move 🤣

Paddy singlehandedly winning D-Day? Paddy singlehandedly won D-Day.

So this is how Carl became Carl from LA Noire....

21:50 I had a similar experience on this level, except I didn't see the tank till it rolled past me

A treat every time a BigMooney video comes up on the feed. Absolute high point of the week! This is a great series btw as well.

I have seen a lot of funny RU-vidrs before but you have to be the funniest of them all

17:04 thanks for including classical music again

5:00 That guy is a nice Home Alone reference

Funniest series since the fallout playthrough with Wan baw magraw. 😂

Love these so much! Keep up the great work

Always enjoy your videos Mooney. Well edited, great commentary. Loads of fun no matter what the game is.

You can carry more guns in this game than in Rainbow Six Vegas, which I loved and was my previous standard for guys carrying 2 guns on their back. I always enjoy this series. The kill everyone style is in this game too.

I hear that piano music playing and I expect a "hey what's up guys, Tyler here" moment going through my head.

Can't sleep, and this just got uploaded as i opened up youtube. Thanks mooney

17:29 The Vulcan hand salute that Lenard Nimoy used in Star Trek was actually based on a Jewish hand sign- the Priestly Blessing. The wikipedia article on the Vulcan Salute goes further into it than I care to on here

Loved thisss, cant wait for part 2!!

I've been watching this channel ever since hitmsn 2016 was popping off on your channel and I wanted to say thank you for all the laughs and all the a tier comedy we've all come to love

big week for uploads lets gooooo hands down best thing on youtube every time

I was convinced that our favorite Scottish YTer's next video would be Ambrose, so this was a nice surprise. Great work as always, Mooney!

my favorite youtube personality returns with one of my favorite franchises. It's too good to be true

D-DAY was June 6th 1944. The dates on the letters found are dated June 11th 1944.

I just completed my authentic playthrough, it was awesome, but mission 7 and 8 are hell! Good luck Mooney! Also maybe get a few randos to join you and try out invasion mode. It can be interesting! Love your vids

I'm loving the series Bigmooney06 keep up the awesome work my friend :)

9:20 You can try using the edge grab mechanic, it works just like hitman and it helps quite a bit in the situations where the enemy rushes you

23:16 - this shot is beautiful.

Gliders perfected the Lynard Skynard landing technique. Cheers for the vid Big Man. Laughing my ass off here.

Hell ya big Mooney! Big shout out from loveland, Colorado😶‍🌫️😎🤪

Paddy don’t like the mud! Classic Mooney

That opening gave me massive Wolfenstein the New Order vibes which is a game I think you’d love

The Vulcan thing at 17:33 is actually a Jewish thing. Leonard Nimoy took the gesture from observing Orthodox Jewish rabbis performing the priestly blessing when he was a child. It represent the Hebrew letter Shin (ש) - and is a form of the name of God.

I'm always impressed by how good your videos are! I'm running late to your Sniper Elite 5 party, but still having a great time. At some point I'd love to see you attempt these levels as a (stated) kill everyone challenge...and maybe attempt a "ghost" run? I know you love your mayhem, so maybe that's too much to ask. 🙂

For some reason it all sounds better in Scottish. Paddy is definitely hydrophobic tho. And the praying mantis stance is new to me, have to look into that :P

Paddy Strongjaw returns, jaw as strong as ever.

AYY, new vid!

John Miller was Tom Hanks character in Saving Private Ryan

There was also a jagdtpanzer, I think it was a self propelled gun. The time of day was also off as you mentioned, but to have done the mission at night would have been a dog's dinner with no night vision.

No wonder the war took so long The actual operation kept crashing until they finally managed

Dude, did you kick RU-vid's dog or something? I thought you hadn't posted for a while but instead the algorithm just decided that you don't exist... Keep up the good work even if RU-vid hates you.

Damn bro, thought my computer was trippin lol

Absolutely my favorite series. So damn funny!

In this game (SE5), I've had numerous issues with my traps (teller mines, TNT) disappearing before the vehicles get to them. I hope they fix this.

King tiger mate, we fans got your back every time 😅

i like how you talk when loud things are happening

AWWWW YISS - more Paddy Strong Jaw

100 Germans doesn't sound to un realistic for Paddy when there was a guy in the British army that ran around with nothing but a sword and *longbow. I think on D-Day as well lol. *His name was Jack Churchill.

Hahaha I love the Scottish patter you always have going, your videos crack me up

Ah, the sign of the times in video games. Game gets released to the customers, first cutscene falls on it's face.

The one man front line is ready for the final operation but he has one enemy in the way. The internet connection stands in his way the gamers worst enemy.

17:36: Funny (but otherwise rather useless info): Spocks actor, Leonard Nimoy is Jewish and the Vulcan Salute was created by Nimoy based on the hand-gesture of Jewish Rabbi when they bless people. They do this precise sign. The picture is basically a Jewish picture, not a Christian picture..... 22:25: yeap, that's basically the MBT of the Gemans back then. When first introduced it wiped the floor with tanks of other nations. But they quickly adapted.

26:41 THAT WAS NOT A WISE CHOICE BALDI

Really thought it was my internet screwing up 🤣

Anyone else figure it was their browser and connection that had gone to smash at the beginning?

Paddy the greatest sniper that we never learn about in our history text books, sad

Gliders were used because there wasn't time or materials to make actual planes. Also a lack of trained pilots.

Bought this game bc of you, Hopefully it's as good as sniper elite 4

All the tanks I've seen in SE5 are late model King Tigers (Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung B "Königstiger")

The downside of playing this game yourself is that you don’t get bigMooneys narrative 😉

I wonder if the 'take ammo' mechanism works on authentic

22:00 Stuck a potato in its exhaust.

You can actually bring satchel charges, you just need to be a certain level to equip them :)

The tank was a tiger 2... the 2 most powerfull tank of the nazis, also it was practicly undistructible like a sniper bullet threw the glass would not cut it but most of the times it got destroyed cuz the turet was so hevy it crished the bottom part and killed some of the crew members so it was fleeng or deth.

This is good 👍

Damn its late but i must watch it

What is with this Gaming God and making piles of dead bodies in one area lol. Respect and keep up the epic work.

"Another happy landing"

Nice

*Likes Your Videos*

The first thing you called a tank is an armored car and the second one is a king tiger. Edit: small “tank” is armored car and big tank is king tiger.
