using REAL SOVIET tactics in ww2 games?!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Today I'm going to be using real WW2 Soviet aka USSR tactics, but in multiple strategy games!
From War Thunder and Hell Let Loose, to HOI4 and Battlefield.
We will cover every game, tactic and operation that was important during WW2 for the Soviet Union!
This will be the most realistic Russia tactics video you will see!
Welcome back to the most popular series on the channel where we use actual strategy and real tactics throughout history, but in a game.
We are going to be visiting various tactics, such as the Blitzkrieg aka WW2 German tactics, Napoleonic tactics, Roman tactics, Japanese tactics in WW2, strategy used in WW1 and so on.
The goal of this series is to showcase every tactic and strategy used in history and see how they hold up in a real game such as Hearts of Iron 4, Total War, Civilization etc.
We have already achieved full realism with Germany and Japan in WW2 and HOI4, but now it's time to do the same with USSR and more!
This is the ultimate HOI4 dchallenge, replicating real Russian strategies during WW2!

If you guys wanna know where i got most of the tactics from:
-Military History Visualized (for infantry tactics)
-Military Aviation History (for the IL2 tactics)
also extra credits to Eastory for the cool maps
I would love seing what was the french doctrin during WW2
@@footchess387 we'll see if the video goes viral, share it around!
@@DiscardPixel ok i'm doin it
rq what game were you playing at 10:32 ?? it seems sick
@@yumsuc7069 i think it's steel division but not entirely sure though
I love the tidbits of history you throw at the beginning of these. Would love to see them included when/if you continue for the other majors.
will do ❤️
@@DiscardPixel we love you ❤
i couldn't help but feel 🥴🥴🥴🥴 as he described the deep battle doctrine being someone who'd really love to learn how the tactics generals in military use work
also, how they know what to do and where to go but ill probably never get to know as im never becoming a military general. or at least a successful one 😅
For battle of berlin you could have played Enlisted , it has a berlin map as well as accurate soviet and german costumes , equipments etc. Great video anyways!
true completely forgot the game existed
@@DiscardPixelyeah enlisted also has the battle of Stalingrad,battle of Moscow and like 3 more but still loved the video ❤
Why play Enlisted when Easy Red 2 exists?
i have no idea what easy red 2 is
@@DiscardPixel You should check it out.
It's small, but it's arguably better than Enlisted
Its crazy how few subscribers you have, compared to the amount of time your put into your videos. Love your videos, keep up the amazing work!
thanks for the kind words!
@@DiscardPixelnot even joking it’s actually crazy. Love from Guangdong ❤🇨🇳

You did WHAT in Bosnia?

@@DiscardPixelexplain in hoi4 terms
Amazing video! Honestly loved the mixing of all different games!
Thanks!
This was so accurate. How much work you put in this. How realistic and historical it was. Man it must have been atleast 10 hours to make
Welp, I haven't watched the entire video yet, but I can say R.I.P Soviet army during the winter war.
RIP indeed
You deserve a much bigger audience. Absolute prime.
Thanks!
You´re very underrated! keep up the high quality work !
thanks brother 🔥
@@DiscardPixel how long did it take for you to make ? 100 hours ?
@@PetsGameLpif I had to calculate it took like 48hours and that’s only me, my editor probably put in like 8x the hours 😂
Looking through all the comments you responded to is really cool to see you do! Was playing multiple games to show each respective aspect of Soviet strategy more or less difficult to pull off than your similar Hoi4 only play throughs of Japan and Germany?
100% more difficult but makes a better video
discard explains history even better than oversimpified
i love oversimplified though 🔥
me too @@DiscardPixel
Love how the pinnacle of teaching history is comparing between 2 great TH-camrs
0:02 did anyone else notice the soundtrack of Papers Please?
classic artzoksokaokz music
Glory to artzoksokaokz
Could you do French tactics defensively? And keep up the good work👍
🫡 we'll see
🏳️?
Order 227 by order of Comrade Stalin, not ONE STEP BACK
3 minutes later: Oh there's a tank, yeah, retreat!
Wasn’t sure about this at first cause of the commentary but this was great!! Loved the war thunder examples of fighter maneuvers and whatnot. Bro cooked🗣️🗣️🔥👨🍳
👀the whole squad cooked up a storm and then some
Woooow, the bits of history mixed with the gameplay feels like cutscene's from a big ass campaign
Sweeet
❤️
@DiscardPixel love your vids man ❤️
There is a Stalingrad map in HLL, even Kursk, but its still a good demonstration
Yea I love the Soviet maps in the game , but I couldn’t find any servers where I could get the other 8 guys I was recording with to join in too
"Strongest Armys" XDDDDD
~~ We have more man than you bullets ~
💪
I enjoy the usage of Viktor Tsoi during the tank bit
Berlin being the second stalingrad😂😂😂
For duestshland Sudetenland and for the fatherland .......wait wait wait............. O fuck for vodka for the motherland , for the communist dream for freedom of speech

Дорогие русскоговорящие, оказывается мы всё время не правильно называли операцию Багратион. Теперь мы будем знать что правильно говорить "Багрейшн"
BAGRATION
German tactics: large maneuvers with 3 main breakthroughs.
Japan: small encirclements
Russia: "kill them all!"
"That's our own officers and soldiers though?"
"Did i stutter?"
💀
The little inbetween parts are somehow cringe and epic at the same time
I'm curious why you didn't use Enlisted for the infantry segments rather than Hell Let Loose and Battlefield, seeing as Enlisted has maps for Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow, and Battle of Berlin
didn't have it in my mind in planning and also i played it before and for me it was meh
fastest click of my life. I instantly muted my hoi4, closed all other tabs and clicked, no joke i think i broke a world record. NOW TIME TO WATCH LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
THE GOAT
Bro where did 19:00 come from what the hell 😭😭 (But seriously great video I loved the creativity and the amount of work this took showed. You deserve way more subscribers)
❤️
Awesome video, love the fusion of HOI4, historical footage, and other historical games for context.
thanks man!
This is my new favorite video I love how you used war thunder and steel division 2.
❤️thanks bro
And let's one and for all remember.
"Unconditionally eliminate retreat Moods in the troops and with a firm hand bar propaganda, not THE troops with machineguns"
"Court-martial those army Commanders who have allowed unauthorized troop withdrawals".
It's physically and logically impossible to have the gun in back of the entire fronts.
Yah they've got 3 to 5 well-armed defensive squads (up to 200 persons in each), and put them directly behind unstable Division. 1000 men couldn't stop entire division from retreating.
It's mission was to find retreating troops without commandments and help them back to divs.
Read real books search Russian archives, use not Hollywood cliché films and vigited pretentious immigrants.
huh
What happened to Bosnia and the winter war oh, the good old Soviet tactic of throwing men at the battle, no Soviet player has lost less than a million in Finland
classic
I like your videos
may i know how long it took you to make?
this video took a very long time specifically
i thought this was a million sub channel but u aren’t! u deserve a million subs
Warsaw wasnt liberated but it was just a change of occupant
👀
I learned more about history than I did in 8 full years of school
Thanks
🧠education
Are you learning the history of Belarus or smt? There are so many references to it
BELARUS! rare
discard is a proud belarussian
What are the games you are playing at 11:41 It looks very good and I think I will buy it
Song in video hit hard :Dd
2:11 Germany casually declares war on Switzerland 💀
Pixel is a proud chetnik 🇷🇸
👀
communism? ok
communiusm
Awesome video! What about a Germany WW1 or a France WW2?
We'll see 👀
WE NEED MOREE STRATEGY VIDSSSSS
LETS GOOO SHARE IT AROUND
17:32 Historically British intelligence DID managed to get this information and the Soviets DID get it from them...but they did not gave it voluntarily. In fact they never intended to. (Practically the cold war had began before the end of WW2)
The Soviets instead got it from one of the Cambridge Five, John Cairncross to be specific. (British spies and double agents, working from inside the British intelligence for the USSR since WW2 until the 1950's, none of which got prosecuted for spying and all 5 got away with it like champs.)
Not only did he informed them of the counter-offensive but also its main targets, tactics, routes and time of execution. Thus the heavy number of mines, ditches, tank traps and many other defenses on the Soviet side. In a way you could say that the Soviets had the best intel network at the time, because not only did they have their own, but could also just take what information they need from the British as well, without them knowing.
Absolutely love your video style Pixel, please keep these up they're phenomenal.
❤️
Very good video, but in the Stalingrad part I got a little bugged when I saw that there were Americans in Normandy, for people who don't know history they won't be able to understand and will be misinformed, but I understand that perhaps it was difficult to find a game to use the tactics you wanted to use, in the battle of Moscow the tank t34 are wrongly shown as they are t34/85 which was only created in 1943 when the battle takes place at the end of 1941 as well as there was also a tiger 2 which was only created in 1944 but even famous games like call of duty word at war did it wrong, in the part about the battle of Berlin you could have used the enlisted fps game which has the battle of Berlin as well as Moscow and Stalingrad, in addition to that you control a squad and can switch to the AIs that follow you 🤓🤓, otherwise the video is very well done, good work, I only commented to give suggestions for improvement if you make a future video.
Thanks bro for the feedback and yea the reason why I didn’t do Stalingrad Russia part is that in the game called helll let loose most servers don’t run Russian maps cuz they’re bad and getting 9 ppl into one server is super cancer
What games are you playing and I’m not taking about hoi4 or war thunder or he’ll let loose I’m talking about the game at 12:01
Steel Division 2!
@@DiscardPixel thanks bro keep up the great work
I got the game I love it
Love the addition of multiple games! If you liked doing this type of video please do more!
If it gets da views why not 😎
God I love Kino's music. epic vid my guy, keep it up

chat! this is EPIC chat!
is that the discardpicel clips guy 😲😨
@@jpegquack5922 ummmm, actually it's the discard tik tok guy... Please do NOT call me that again buddy
ITS HIM
Use tactics British real in game please
👀we'll see bro
Love your videos so much as a fellow history enthusiast and hoi4 no-lifer it was really fun watching this. But also maybe we could get a 2 part american one? One for the pacific one for the western front.
Hey good idea, but we’ll see which country is next 👀
Great video, although i wish you had used gameplay from the actual stalingrad map in hell let loose.
yea i tried, but it was super cancer getting 9 dudes on a non-empty server into a stalingrad map, 90% of the servers dont run the russian maps idk why, those are my favourites
@@DiscardPixelmost don’t run the Russian maps due to the PPSh-41 being OP for the Soviets. That thing is absolutely broken (which is relatively historical ig). Also there are certain points which are also just ridiculously one-sided (Pavlov’s house)…again historical probably but not enjoyable
@@KleinesStein I love them still
@@DiscardPixel oh I love them as well when I have a good German team. I was just explaining the reason why most don’t run it. I will say that the El Alamein map (when you’re not in a tank) is always gonna be worse than any of the Soviet maps, so I’m shocked that one is in rotation on more than one server
Damn this was epic !
thanks!
bro i love ur vids, they are so fun to watch i be sad when i finish it
Thanks bro!
Next Bhutan tactics
next?
@@DiscardPixel we need it
Stalin if you fail be like: "GO TO THE GULAG"
safest workplace
Hear me out real life Switzerland tactics in hoi4
Jokes aside you should try British or American strategies from real life in hoi4
I liked that you used the tactics in different games. Can we get an Italian one?
maybe? 👀
@@DiscardPixeli'll take it as yes !
I was wondering what game you used where you watched german divisons attack russian ones in the deep defense set. That game looks like a lot of fun but i couldnt find it
this kind of video is how to make the sov-youtube ai that demonitizes all videos confused as hell... do i demonitize the video due to the amount of nazi german and facist remarks or not because hes actually the soviet union?
With due respect for the author, the Russian civil war was between the red army, the white army, the green army and the black army. Naming just red and white is a very strong oversimplification very close to being disinformation.
Also Gulag is literally translated as "main office of the department of camps". And was situated in Moscow.
Actually Kursk was the second largest tank battle in history. The largest tank battle was the battle Dubno-Brody 1941whhere Soviet atmored Units tried counter attacking an attacking German Panzer group that had pierced through the Frontline at Dubno, but eventually Soviet Forces were pushed back to Brody.
its considered the 4th biggest tank battle. kursk is first.
@@sciencemoth8669 I have a question. Do you mean by Kursk the battle of the salient or the battle of Prohorovka which is the part of the battle of Kursk salient with the highest concentration of armored forces on both sides? Because if you mean the tank battle of Prohorovka which lasted for a few days then it featured fewer armored vehicles than Dubno- Brody, if you mean the whole battle of the Kursk salient then the amount of armored vehicles was higher, but the battle lasted for more than a month and was more like series of big battles executed by whole armies and even an army group. So the scale is barely comparable.
@@vladislavshevchenko634 the whole battle
@@sciencemoth8669 well this is even difficult to call a single battle it's more like a short campaign
I think it would be better to show more gameplay like the last two historical videos.
France from Napoleonic wars
It was intresting to see you use soviet tactics in multiple games! Good video. :)
Glad you enjoyed!
hey i know you said the games you used for the video but which game was it at 12:27 i would aprecciate it if you say the name of the game thank you
i think you should do one of these videos with a minor country would be cool to see
ill do one as st Marino at 100million subs frfr
il be waiting@@DiscardPixel
Do UK or USA next
Did you use Omsk music?
babe wake up discard uploaded
WE BACK BABY
Bosnia mentioned 🇧🇦
rare bosnia cameo
Kinda surprised that you played War Thunder just for the "Airforce and Armored Corps Strategies", great videos anyways.
🫡
Kind of late, but what is the game played for the battle of Tula?
This ghost's voice is so good
❤️
what game was used for the battle of Stalingrad?
Hell let loose
@@DiscardPixel wow ty
3:45 I know this song, this is the sacred war against the fascism!
Again Amazing video and why are in Battelfield some Voicelines GERMAN ?
cuz EA cancelled development on BFV before they added the eastern fronte
one of the most underrated youtubers ong
❤️ if you enjoyed the video share it around
Can you do american or british tactics in ww2?🙏
We’ll see 👀
Now do real American tactics in ww2 games.
Comrade Pixel, the Bosnian ‘problem’ has been dealt with. Glory too the motherland, remember, No Axis.
🫡
do u got larger occupations ? in germany of cours
Could you play darkest hour if you make these videos? Lets you make more detailed videos
maybe for the next one if this video goes viral, share it around!
This man is Rasputin in disguise
👀
Is this Soviet propaganda?
Jokes aside great video, discard combined so many games to make a video, great work comrade. We wont send you to Gulag.
yes it is give your life for the union!
What did you do in Afghanistan...
Nothing :)
pls next video as France!!
👀 we'll see
You should try Poland. Its gonna be much harder for sure, but its gonna be very interesting
maybe we shall see
А, может, мы лучше упомянем коллективизацию и индустриализацию, ликвидацию безграмотности и безработицы? Нет, давайте расскажем про ГУЛаг, в лагерях которого выдавали зарплату, иногда превосходящую среднюю про стране; давайте расскажем о голоде, который на самом деле был один - в 1932-1933 годах, вызванный мировым повышением температуры, что доказывается лесными пожарами в Сибири и голодом 97% крестьян в Польше; давайте расскажем про Большую чистку 1937-1938, которая была начата главой НКВД Ежовым, стремившемся свергнуть Сталина, подорвав общественное и политическое мнение о нём (к слову, расстреляли в те годы менее 700 тысяч человек)
10:40 which game?
I think its steel divisions 2
2:10 Wait wtf why did Switzerland get invaded lmao
😓the German warmongers
Ya'll could've played foxhole (even tho there aren't any factions but yk)
Cool idea but I think simulating foxhole war would take way too long and I need a ton of ppl and for a small TH-camr like me it’s hard to gather more than like 20 guys
What game do u play at the battle of Tula???
What is the name of the game where the "Deep Battle Doctrine" tactic was demonstrated?
Steel division 2!
i learned more in 30 minutes than 9 years of school
❤️
Хорошее видео, теперь хочу сыграть за союз
what is the 2nd game? the battle iin the Tula
I really liked this video and greetings from Russia. I would like to know what kind of music playlist did you listen to at the moment from 27:18 to 29:20? I've started liking music a lot lately and I want to diversify my playlist. I will be very grateful if you answer this!
Do Italy next
we'll see bro
