Funny thing is that this may very well be lore-friendly. One of the surviving King Tigers was found home at Fort Knox before being relocated to Fort Benning, this particular one had it's left side cut open to show its interior, but maybe some survivors found it and decided it's a good idea to jury-rig the beast back in working order...
Kinda funny that cutting this King Tiger and the normal Tiger there on the sides open saved the vehicles from being scrapped as they could be used that way for educational purposes.
And that's just a old german tank from ww2, get a battalion of some more modern tanks like the Abrams and the zombie apocalypse will go from 100 to 0 real bloody quick.
the knox infection is airborne, good luck mobilizing your infantry and mechanized cavalry when half your staff got infected overnight and chewed on half your other staff. its very hard to maintain cohesion when people are panicking, sick and watching their loved ones die
Not really, yes a tank can clear a city in this game but in real life zombies would swarm the tank and once enough gather the tank could get stuck and become a death trap, it would need infantry support to not get overrun
now this is how you de-stress after a good run gets ruined. just clear out louisville with a tank to show those zombies that YOU are the ones with console controls no matter how much the game tells you that the zombies are the "end of the world"
I got a backstory for it; out of the 8 surviving Tiger IIs left-over from WWII. One was transported from a museum over to Kentucky to be converted back into a functional combat vehicle to help survivors. However, as the infection went on, the survivors got overwhelmed and were forced to abandon the vehicle somewhere. Until you found it - it leaps back into the fray to continue where they left off. That's the coolest thing about preserving history like this; it could have a new-found use later on. Epic stuff. I saw this mod awhile ago and I debated on getting it but I might now.
One old German citizen had several German WWII weapons in his garage like a Flak 88 and a torpedo as I can remember Everything was kinda fine till it came out in the news that he also had a Panther in his garage but the locals there didnt mind when an old man use a tank to clear the snow (yes he did clear the snow with it) Then the Bundeswehr took it away, what a shame This man is well known in Germany
@@alexdaniel6731 Yeah true, very possible. While these machines had impressive guns the rest of the vehicle had massive problems like transmission issues. They'd break every so often and Panthers for their drive-wheels would break every 300-400 miles on average.
This really does show how ridiculous it is about a non-afflicted mechanized military going up against zombies. Zombies need massive plot armor to win. Edit: Since a horde of virology experts have @ me, let's talk about the pieces of lore the game gives us. It's said before the events of the game, a dark cloud and a bad smell permeated Knox county. This points to some kind of accidental release, but regardless, it means there was advanced warning for some kind of airborne contaminate. The radio host in the game states that "they knew" meaning the government for sure knew the nature of what was happening giving even more time to prepare. And yes, militaries have trained for chemical and biological warfare for decades. So my point still stands that a trained military, especially one with advanced knowledge, would absolutely stomp unintelligent, rotting zombies.
In pz it was an airborne virus so it's likely a lot of military personnel in military camps and bases turned before anything could he done and overrun them from the inside rather than needing to breach a gate.
Surely it isn't the military being insufficient that causes humans to lose against zombies, but the failing logistics network that supplies said military. A horde won't defeat a tank, but good luck using that tank when there's no fuel
I remember a debate where someone knowledgeable about this subject explained how a certain caliber machine gun round will utterly destroy your nervous system on a body shot. This was an arguement on why it would work even against a "walking dead" zombie. (only braindamage/headshots) He argued that the military would be highly effective against zombies. Other people suggest that a zombie outbreak would be nipped in the bud quickly. I can see why. Its highly infectious through bites, but anyone infected does not only stand out, there are generally zero moral consequences for immediatly killing the infected.
Isn't in zomboid case infection is also airborne? We know of atleast 1 case of person that never directly contacted with infected being turned (one of the radio broadcasts) I dont think that machine gun can really help you if virus already settling inside you (and dont forget about logistics, with panicked people, army and others moving all around its hard to get supplies in time)
@@shizik3909 good luck with that. You would have to A.) find out it's spread by air at a INSANE rate, without being affected yet. (In-game the quarantine breaks in one/ two weeks) B) you have supply enough of your force with it in a even shorter time frame or else your just wasting time. C) 99% of people didn't get a gas mask are now munching on you and your buds after turning in the middle of the night. D.) Somehow manage to do this within 8 days as that is just about when it went global.
It's not about killing the zombies. That's the easy part. The hard part is about preventing the spread of a disease. Tanks aren't vaccines, so they can't help you fend off the infection. Also, tanks have limited fuel and ammo, so you can only fight in them for so long. If the pandemic is on a global scale, you won't be able to kill them all.
Imagine being a survivor sneaking through the mall looking for supplies, when all of a sudden you hear several large explosions and machinegun fire. You rush towards the noise, believing it to be the military and possible rescue from this nightmare. Only to turn the corner to find a madman in a King Tiger tank, surrounded by a horde, obliterating everything around him while blasting panzerlied. You then proceed to flee in the other direction, realizing that humans are more dangerous than zombies in the apocalypse.
holy shit im suprised that the over 78 year old tiger II works and doesn't break down every 4 hours also it's pretty accurate because there used to be a king tiger in fort knox before they transported it somewhere else can't remeber where tho
This makes me think of the moment in one of the John Ringo zombie novels where one of the characters gets an Abrams tank with canister shot, she literally finds that it clears the zombies so well at one spot that their decomposing brains manage to get enough recognition of threat that the zombies run away in fear. It is the Black Tide Rising series.
Imagine you're a zombie, roaming in the world, killing, eating every thing you saw, tear it apart, and suddenly you hear erika randomly plays and you got blow up
There is actually a Tiger II in Fort Knox. It's at the General George Patton Museum Of Leadership. So actually, Kentucky is one of the more logical places to find one.
@@dontworry4945really not accurate. they dont have streets that perpendicular, only in downtown, and those are wider. the homeless zombie vagrants are a completely accurate depiction of downtown louisville though.
This is why having the virus go airborne was necessary for zomboid to work. The military even with half their brains turned off could wipe out any horde of zombies with the right application of weapons.
There was this one scene from a movie where 4 British soldiers with automatic weapons were able to easily dispatch a horde of over 100 zombies, and I think that is a very compelling example as to why a zombie outbreak becoming uncontrollable is very unlikely
Love hearing people pronounce my hometown's name. Always fascinating to hear outsider's interpretations of that word. Edit: Also fascinating to see a game dev's reworking of my city as well. Interesting positioning for what is obviously iroquois park, for one thing.
i am amazed on how in 1993 you can find a tank from 1944 in a perfect condition, and operate it single handendly when it needs atleast 4 crew members to operate at full capacity :)
Well, with King Tiger, you would run out of fuel quite quickly. Even in war there was a problem to get eounght fuel for it, let alone in a zombie apocalypse.
From all the tanks you could have Put in the game... It Was a Tiger II H? I mean... The Transmission broke often when it was New... Now its 80 years old 💀
As long as you stay on the road, don't climb hills and don't try to tow other tanks, the transmission is not that big of a threat. Fuel consimption is 500 liter on 100 km, crushing Z's at 10 km an hour lets you have fun for 10 hours...
This mod mixed with the True music mod and it's many addons is truly something amazing. You'll never have a better time than blasting zombies or running them over while listening to Toto's Africa down a neighborhood.
I gotta think that in a real zombie outbreak anyone who can get armor is going to be the ones to survive. As long as the crew doesn't get infected you got a rolling slab of metal that after the bullets are gone and shells are spend you can just run over the hordes of undead. Get four or five of those in a good size town and you'd clear out most of them in no time flat
Until the fuel runs out, something breaks down, someone makes a mistake and runs the tank into a ditch or a bog or some similar scenario. The crew would also need to rest and have food and water. They’d need to be trained too. If anything breaks down then you’re fucked as you can’t go outside to repair it as you have no spare parts, tons of zombies and of course the difficulty of repairing a tank
Four or five in a good sized town. He did not mention a huge city. Given that you can drive about 200 miles, I would say that you can clear a lot of Z's, even more because they are attracted to rhe sound. No need to check every house, just keep driving gently, and stay on the roads. Also stick together in pairs and save some mg ammo to clear the other tank once they want to refuel
@@CountCalcium That's not entirely true. So in all of these zombie games there's always a overrun military checkpoint or convoy that has plenty of spare parts from abandon vehicles that could be used as sources of spare parts. True they will need to be trained, but it's not something that's extremely complex, but this scenario we're assuming they already know how to operate the vehicles since they wouldn't be using it unless they already knew. This also applies to knowledge of repairs (otherwise one can assume they could make something like the Killdozer, basically taking something more available for civilian use like a tractor or a dozer, armor it up and use that). Point is that the stuff you're saying could happen are more tv/movie excuses why you never see people rolling around in these things. In reality I can see more groups that might have a few guys that were previously armor MOSs in the military that could train them in the use of a tank, apc or ifv.
You know the thing that is most unrealistic, it’s not the zombie apocalypse, but the fact that the king tiger was still in top condition and it didn’t break down the moment you started it
My head canon for this thing is that it was being transported to a private collector after being bought out from the museum housing it and they had it fully restored to working order, the billion dollar owner was having it transported to Texas along with the newly manufactured ammunition from the document's on the ammo type when a zombie outbreak happened and this vehicle got stuck in Kentucky along with it's ammo and even instructions on how to make the ammo as well as the driver's manual.
I Hope EVENTUALLY The game adds Environmental Destruction like Hatred has. that is by far one of the BEST Parts of that game. that you can drive cars into buildings and stuff and the Buildings will fall apart, catch on fire.. if for no other reason the game is great for just that attention to detail.
Anyone who thinks a tank could be stopped by a big enough horde of zombies, consider this: Even old tanks have a towing capacity of several tens of tons. The horde would somehow have to be able to exert more than the tank's towing capacity against it as lateral force in order to prevent it from moving forward. That alone is impossible, but even if it weren't, the zombies closest to the tank would just be crushed into a pulp by the ones behind. You could just sit there and wait for enough of the horde to turn itself to mush so that the force it was exerting dropped below your towing capacity, then just casually drive over the remainder.
Imagine being a zombie chillin' out in the street and then you start hearing "Ghost Division" playing in the distance. TBH, that's a King Tiger, a very old tank from ww2. A Leopard 2, Abrams or Leclerc would move way faster and have remote controlled machineguns at 360°
Yes I can definitely go and find A king tiger behind someone’s house definitely not gonna need to go to a museum to get that and if out of ammo no more tank
I'd spawn several tanks and other military vehicles and if possible disable them / destroy them to make it look like the military tried to fight back against the zombie hordes and lost and just leave it all there for other players to find as they run around.
So as someone with a PhD in Microbiology subspecializing in transmissible viruses, who works with the CDC, I figured I would drop my two cents on why the zombie apocalypse would absolutely happen. My colleague and I, who was in military logistics and strategy before going to college for his degree, have spent many lunch breaks theory-crafting the zombie apocalypse and other EOTW scenarios. After the recent viral pandemic, it's pretty obvious that society would have no chance. Here's how it would go down: Step 1: The viral origin (be it animal, plant or other) is brought in as food or fertilizer to a major metropolitan or urban area. Step 2: Because of the fast-paced nature of food prep in most countries nowadays, things are not always done correctly and if you've ever watched the news segments on restaurant inspections, you'll agree with me wholeheartedly. So the food is either prepped just under the required temperature to sterilize the food, or it is cross-contaminated with either produce or another food product that doesn't require as thorough a cleaning as meats, poultry or fish. Step 3: The exposure event. Some unlucky customer consumes the contaminated product without even realizing it, thus giving us our patient zero. *side note: Most viruses take multiple days, if not weeks or months to gestate in the body before symptoms appear, making patient zero an unknowing vector for a prolonged period. Step 3: Because of their proximity to other people in the urban or metropolitan area, and assuming that the virus isn't airborne to begin with (likely being spread through bodily fluids [sweat, urine, etc.], patient zero ends up exposing thousands, if not tens of thousands of people to the virus before symptoms even occur. Step 4: Now we get nerdy. A "zombie" virus likely wouldn't be a World War Z infection, taking only seconds to turn someone. It would likely be a long process even after symptoms first appeared. Initial symptoms may be as benign as a headache, fever, a persistent cough and possibly nasal congestion as the body tries its best to fight off the virus inside the body. This means that even after symptoms first appear, patient zero may wait weeks or even months to get medical help for the slowly worsening symptoms. Step 5: The nerds screw up. Plain and simple, the doctors at the local hospital are not prepared for what this person is carrying. Not knowing they have patient zero for the apocalypse in their laps, they don't use proper PPE because they assume it's just a flu or some other common ailment. They give the man some fluids, maybe a prescription for some broad-spectrum antibiotics which won't help at this stage, and send them home. Step 6: The nerds screw screw up x2. Because they assume the patient only had the flu or some other benign ailment, they do not take the proper steps to sterilize the waiting room, triage room or hospital ward where he was kept. This leaves the virus to spread amongst the entire hospital as nurses and doctors unknowingly give it a free ride around the entire facility. Step 7: Things get interesting. By this point, the tens of thousands of new vectors have infected millions while the virus lay dormant in their body, leaving them asymptomatic. They go about their days, infecting millions more before their symptoms also reach the point where they feel medical intervention is necessary. Step 8: Now we get a bit morbid. Obviously, infants, toddlers and the elderly are the first to drop, likely from the symptoms of the virus hitting them harder than a person with a healthy immune system. Problem is, they don't stay dead. Assuming this virus works like most other zombie viruses we see out there, after the cessation of life the virus has enough biomass in the body to provide just enough electrical output to the brain to restore our more animalistic functions (eat, sleep, survive). Depending on the variables including how long before the body is reanimated, whether they were embalmed already and whether they were even discovered, you now have possibly millions of meat suits waking up after expiring. Step 9: The nerds with guns screw up. While the previous step is occurring in relatively small instances, the CDC is doing their own research into the virus to try and figure out what it is, after learning of the deaths, however they most likely haven't begun studying the reanimation yet. Step 10: It's already everywhere. As we've seen throughout history, the more mobile a society is, the easier it is for a virus to spread. The world we live in is like a bus pass for the virus, taking it around the world hundreds of thousands of times before we are even aware it exists. By this point, both the CDC and government/military are aware of it but are trying to keep it contained, not knowing that quarantine at this point is likely impossible. Step 11: Can't trust anyone. The reanimated meat suits will spread the virus through your campy horror tropes: bites, scratches, etc. However, my colleague and I agree that by the time world governments are taking the issue as seriously as they need to, they would fail to realize that almost everyone on the planet is infected by this point, and here's why: Step 11: Viral mutation. Yeah, we're getting nerdy again. Viruses are single-celled organisms whose sole purpose is to survive, reproduce and spread. Because of this, viruses have a tendency to mutate due to the millions of replications thay take place every minute once they are actively infecting a person. All it takes is one mutation for the virus to become airborne, and this mutation is more likely due to the confined nature of most people in this day and age. Step 12: The End. Much like in the Walking Dead, it becomes an "everyone is already infected" situation. Even someone who is a carrier, i.e. someone who is totally asymptomatic while carrying the virus, will reanimate upon cessation of life. No one knows this, and by the time they do, the chains of command, major governments and local municipalities will likely have succumbed to the first wave of the infection, leaving only those "walking dead" to try and eke out a life for themselves in the ruins of society. TL;DR: All it takes is for these very common criteria to be met for a "zombie virus" to bring the world to its knees over the course of a couple of years. By the time anyone took it seriously, the majority of the world would already be infected, and once they start succumbing to the virus, panic and social collapse would leave very few people behind who could actually do anything about it. So yeah, my colleague and I agree that if a virus like that ever made it to a major city, we'd pretty much be SOL as a species.
Yeah the dev need to redesign that Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger 2 ausf B, there's a lot of missing details of this tank, so yeah maybe make just a little of improvement

transmission and fuel : *im about to end this mans whole career*
As long as you stay on the road, don't climb hills and don't try to tow other tanks, the transmission is not that big of a threat. Fuel consimption is 500 liter on 100 km, crushing Z's at 10 km an hour lets you have fun for 10 hours...
This mod mixed with the True music mod and it's many addons is truly something amazing.
You'll never have a better time than blasting zombies or running them over while listening to Toto's Africa down a neighborhood.
I gotta think that in a real zombie outbreak anyone who can get armor is going to be the ones to survive. As long as the crew doesn't get infected you got a rolling slab of metal that after the bullets are gone and shells are spend you can just run over the hordes of undead. Get four or five of those in a good size town and you'd clear out most of them in no time flat
Until the fuel runs out, something breaks down, someone makes a mistake and runs the tank into a ditch or a bog or some similar scenario. The crew would also need to rest and have food and water. They’d need to be trained too. If anything breaks down then you’re fucked as you can’t go outside to repair it as you have no spare parts, tons of zombies and of course the difficulty of repairing a tank
Four or five in a good sized town. He did not mention a huge city. Given that you can drive about 200 miles, I would say that you can clear a lot of Z's, even more because they are attracted to rhe sound. No need to check every house, just keep driving gently, and stay on the roads. Also stick together in pairs and save some mg ammo to clear the other tank once they want to refuel
@@CountCalcium That's not entirely true. So in all of these zombie games there's always a overrun military checkpoint or convoy that has plenty of spare parts from abandon vehicles that could be used as sources of spare parts. True they will need to be trained, but it's not something that's extremely complex, but this scenario we're assuming they already know how to operate the vehicles since they wouldn't be using it unless they already knew. This also applies to knowledge of repairs (otherwise one can assume they could make something like the Killdozer, basically taking something more available for civilian use like a tractor or a dozer, armor it up and use that).
Point is that the stuff you're saying could happen are more tv/movie excuses why you never see people rolling around in these things. In reality I can see more groups that might have a few guys that were previously armor MOSs in the military that could train them in the use of a tank, apc or ifv.
My guy "found" a whole ass WWII King Tiger in perfect condition and cleared the whole city

Im impressed the transmission didn't broke down

lol drop out of school easy (jk don't do that you need school)
i pitty you so much, may god have mercy on your soul
You know the thing that is most unrealistic, it’s not the zombie apocalypse, but the fact that the king tiger was still in top condition and it didn’t break down the moment you started it
The real question is how in the hell did someone get ammo for this tank
My head canon for this thing is that it was being transported to a private collector after being bought out from the museum housing it and they had it fully restored to working order, the billion dollar owner was having it transported to Texas along with the newly manufactured ammunition from the document's on the ammo type when a zombie outbreak happened and this vehicle got stuck in Kentucky along with it's ammo and even instructions on how to make the ammo as well as the driver's manual.
I live in Louisville and i can imagine a zombie apocalypse I see a tiger 2 roling around my home town lmao
im impressed that the Tiger II did not burst into flames or its transmission broke while driving

Cant wait to play PZ with that tank while blasting "Ghost Division" from Sabaton for 3 hours straight!
Can you share your settings please? your game looks like it is running smoothly
yea same 😳
I Hope EVENTUALLY The game adds Environmental Destruction like Hatred has. that is by far one of the BEST Parts of that game. that you can drive cars into buildings and stuff and the Buildings will fall apart, catch on fire.. if for no other reason the game is great for just that attention to detail.
But buildings can catch on fire

Further proof why the military could easily handle a Walking Dead style apocalypse.
The King Tiger 2 without breakdown sure satisfying
Anyone who thinks a tank could be stopped by a big enough horde of zombies, consider this:
Even old tanks have a towing capacity of several tens of tons.
The horde would somehow have to be able to exert more than the tank's towing capacity against it as lateral force in order to prevent it from moving forward. That alone is impossible, but even if it weren't, the zombies closest to the tank would just be crushed into a pulp by the ones behind. You could just sit there and wait for enough of the horde to turn itself to mush so that the force it was exerting dropped below your towing capacity, then just casually drive over the remainder.
Imagine being a zombie chillin' out in the street and then you start hearing "Ghost Division" playing in the distance.
TBH, that's a King Tiger, a very old tank from ww2.
A Leopard 2, Abrams or Leclerc would move way faster and have remote controlled machineguns at 360°
Remember people this is a video game.
Project zomboid gun mechanics don't take real life aiming into account.
Zombie:hahahaha
Jets: ok can you fly?

ah yes cant wait to see PZ be turned in a ultra realistic ww2 squad shooter throught mods.
It genuinely bothers me that I can recognize that as a World of Tanks model. I think the first model from 2010 or so.
Give the zombie WW2 flash backs
Yes I can definitely go and find A king tiger behind someone’s house definitely not gonna need to go to a museum to get that and if out of ammo no more tank
I'd spawn several tanks and other military vehicles and if possible disable them / destroy them to make it look like the military tried to fight back against the zombie hordes and lost and just leave it all there for other players to find as they run around.
Overwhelm this, swarm that, ohhh...zombie is so scary, tank can't run over them, bla bla bla.

THE MACHINE IS IMMORTAL!
Tanks will definitely clear a lot of zombie hordes! it's just perfect.

So as someone with a PhD in Microbiology subspecializing in transmissible viruses, who works with the CDC, I figured I would drop my two cents on why the zombie apocalypse would absolutely happen. My colleague and I, who was in military logistics and strategy before going to college for his degree, have spent many lunch breaks theory-crafting the zombie apocalypse and other EOTW scenarios. After the recent viral pandemic, it's pretty obvious that society would have no chance. Here's how it would go down:
Step 1: The viral origin (be it animal, plant or other) is brought in as food or fertilizer to a major metropolitan or urban area.
Step 2: Because of the fast-paced nature of food prep in most countries nowadays, things are not always done correctly and if you've ever watched the news segments on restaurant inspections, you'll agree with me wholeheartedly. So the food is either prepped just under the required temperature to sterilize the food, or it is cross-contaminated with either produce or another food product that doesn't require as thorough a cleaning as meats, poultry or fish.
Step 3: The exposure event. Some unlucky customer consumes the contaminated product without even realizing it, thus giving us our patient zero.
*side note: Most viruses take multiple days, if not weeks or months to gestate in the body before symptoms appear, making patient zero an unknowing vector for a prolonged period.
Step 3: Because of their proximity to other people in the urban or metropolitan area, and assuming that the virus isn't airborne to begin with (likely being spread through bodily fluids [sweat, urine, etc.], patient zero ends up exposing thousands, if not tens of thousands of people to the virus before symptoms even occur.
Step 4: Now we get nerdy. A "zombie" virus likely wouldn't be a World War Z infection, taking only seconds to turn someone. It would likely be a long process even after symptoms first appeared. Initial symptoms may be as benign as a headache, fever, a persistent cough and possibly nasal congestion as the body tries its best to fight off the virus inside the body. This means that even after symptoms first appear, patient zero may wait weeks or even months to get medical help for the slowly worsening symptoms.
Step 5: The nerds screw up. Plain and simple, the doctors at the local hospital are not prepared for what this person is carrying. Not knowing they have patient zero for the apocalypse in their laps, they don't use proper PPE because they assume it's just a flu or some other common ailment. They give the man some fluids, maybe a prescription for some broad-spectrum antibiotics which won't help at this stage, and send them home.
Step 6: The nerds screw screw up x2. Because they assume the patient only had the flu or some other benign ailment, they do not take the proper steps to sterilize the waiting room, triage room or hospital ward where he was kept. This leaves the virus to spread amongst the entire hospital as nurses and doctors unknowingly give it a free ride around the entire facility.
Step 7: Things get interesting. By this point, the tens of thousands of new vectors have infected millions while the virus lay dormant in their body, leaving them asymptomatic. They go about their days, infecting millions more before their symptoms also reach the point where they feel medical intervention is necessary.
Step 8: Now we get a bit morbid. Obviously, infants, toddlers and the elderly are the first to drop, likely from the symptoms of the virus hitting them harder than a person with a healthy immune system. Problem is, they don't stay dead. Assuming this virus works like most other zombie viruses we see out there, after the cessation of life the virus has enough biomass in the body to provide just enough electrical output to the brain to restore our more animalistic functions (eat, sleep, survive). Depending on the variables including how long before the body is reanimated, whether they were embalmed already and whether they were even discovered, you now have possibly millions of meat suits waking up after expiring.
Step 9: The nerds with guns screw up. While the previous step is occurring in relatively small instances, the CDC is doing their own research into the virus to try and figure out what it is, after learning of the deaths, however they most likely haven't begun studying the reanimation yet.
Step 10: It's already everywhere. As we've seen throughout history, the more mobile a society is, the easier it is for a virus to spread. The world we live in is like a bus pass for the virus, taking it around the world hundreds of thousands of times before we are even aware it exists. By this point, both the CDC and government/military are aware of it but are trying to keep it contained, not knowing that quarantine at this point is likely impossible.
Step 11: Can't trust anyone. The reanimated meat suits will spread the virus through your campy horror tropes: bites, scratches, etc. However, my colleague and I agree that by the time world governments are taking the issue as seriously as they need to, they would fail to realize that almost everyone on the planet is infected by this point, and here's why:
Step 11: Viral mutation. Yeah, we're getting nerdy again. Viruses are single-celled organisms whose sole purpose is to survive, reproduce and spread. Because of this, viruses have a tendency to mutate due to the millions of replications thay take place every minute once they are actively infecting a person. All it takes is one mutation for the virus to become airborne, and this mutation is more likely due to the confined nature of most people in this day and age.
Step 12: The End. Much like in the Walking Dead, it becomes an "everyone is already infected" situation. Even someone who is a carrier, i.e. someone who is totally asymptomatic while carrying the virus, will reanimate upon cessation of life. No one knows this, and by the time they do, the chains of command, major governments and local municipalities will likely have succumbed to the first wave of the infection, leaving only those "walking dead" to try and eke out a life for themselves in the ruins of society.
TL;DR: All it takes is for these very common criteria to be met for a "zombie virus" to bring the world to its knees over the course of a couple of years. By the time anyone took it seriously, the majority of the world would already be infected, and once they start succumbing to the virus, panic and social collapse would leave very few people behind who could actually do anything about it.
So yeah, my colleague and I agree that if a virus like that ever made it to a major city, we'd pretty much be SOL as a species.
