LOSING MY MIND AT KURSK | Germany Finale | Gates of Hell: Ostfront

- :( well those weren't as fun as the first two. I'm holding out hope for the Russian missions, but the campaign had a serious problem of too few missions with not enough variety. 2 of the 5 missions were defence, while the stealth one was bad stealth and then a defence. Mission 4 I got into detail on but thankfully Mission 1 was fun. It was pretty simple though, a basic warmup to what should have been more detailing.

German Soldier: “we were able to perfectly execute all of our objectives sir and we successfully retreated when it appear the enemy were about to overrun us.”
German officer: “and how many casualties did we sustain during this mission?”
Soldier: “a single aircraft and its pilot sir”
Officer: “then it was a heartbreaking defeat.”
Of course Germans can’t throw up, they train to resist that in Octoberfest
As a German, can confirm
Rimmy now knows how it feels to be a commander with idiot soldiers
Yes all germans live in bavaria
They also eat genitalia apparently. Some guys went to jail after one of them died doing that
Losing your mind at kursk I feel like that's what the Germans were feeling
I read that and thought
"so it's historicaly accurate"
Exactly
German Soldier:Mein Gott Fritz WTF is going on!?!?!?! And that was no battle of kursk mission kursk should have been 5 times larger and mostly the largest tank battle in history and a slugging match and a triple enemy perimeter defense set up that was a sh!*t mission close to a skirmish and a pilot which i have no idea how he got promoted but I know who to blame for it Herman Goring:Hmm this guy doesn't look promising but put him in charge of this wing im sure he'll be fine 🙃
@@codylee9705 I Did Get promoted But I only Killed 5 Tanks

Iron Cross to Max Schultz for capturing the 11 solo, striking a sentry with the butt of his gun and eliminating the rest of the guards with speed worthy of Blitzkrieg.
The Max Schwartz Award
Which one?
there was also the max schultz that called artillery on his own location and survived, then died during a one way mission to take out soviet AAA
"I guess we have the town.....NOW WE HAVE TO DEFEND IT? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?"

"So much for early access."

Russian winter: now you get the full Russian experience, comrades!
But wait there's more
The Americans are sending you a free democracy plan on Africa as we speak
You would have thought years of playing Arma had prepared Rimmy to a strategy game where your troops don't do what you tell them to and die in stupid ways.
but those arma troops can be taught to fix their mistakes and learn from them
Prepared for? no. Used to, yes.
@@shadowai9668 yet they never learn from them
Actually, kursk german mission was a bit worse then you think. In editor, the tanks show as set for "return fire". They don't support you unless they are shot at. And as you experienced, suck at saving themselves.
Kind of wanna see a fustercluck of kursk now. Imagine giving Digby control of the tanks and telling him to be woefully unhelpful.
YES PLEASE SO MUCH YES
I'm on board with this.
PIN THIS!!
Zeus!Rimmy: Clear the road for the tanks. The fields are covered in landmines.
Also Zeus!Rimmy: Drives the tanks offroad in front of an AT gun.
Players: Why?
Rimmy: NOW YOU SHALL SUFFER AS I HAVE SUFFERED!
yes!!!
"Huh, there's no fog of war?"
This proved to be an omen.
Oh man... Rimmy... probably should go co-op for the Russian campaign. That way if you have to suffer again... you won't suffer alone. ;)
OUR suffering
@@ChemySh XD
Yes
God the first soviet mission goes on forever.
@@ChemySh Nothing's more true to the Soviet spirit than shared suffering.
I lauged so hard when rimmy yell at the sturmtiger for shooting at only one russian soldier whit a ppsh 41
I imagine that on the real life: a commander is watching how the soviet soldiers retreats, when a big boom happens near that soviet soldier running away, and after the commander turns to see who did that, see the smoke coming out of the gun of the sturmtiger, and walks into the crew and shout at them every bad word possible
Ya know i get the feeling why they did not want these missions showed off before the embargo lifted..... and since they rushed the release we all get to see the mission in all its buggy/broken glory
Yea... this feels VERY scammy
The devs took 3 years just to finish the German and Russian campaigns for their modern rts and get the game into a semi-competitive state. Expect the same here.
These games live and die based on their multiplayer and mods, it's not even like it really matters.
Regardless, all of the major bugs in the campaign have been fixed anyway.
"You cant place mines IN a house, right?"
*Soviet scorched earth laughter*
"Germans are physically incapable of throwing up." Well, not physically impossible, we just tend to have very strong stomachs.
When you have a week-long festival solely dedicated to beer, an iron stomach comes naturally.
Irish just drink until they run out of liquor. No hangover no nothing just a whiskey colored piss
"Hans the headless panzer driver"
*The Panzer driver still wandering through the night,
Now it's 50 years later and he still keeps up the fight*
Rimmy has happened upon him in video game format lol
Very nice
The two guys behind the burning stuG be like:
“Hans, what should we tell the commandant?”
“Don’t say shit johan, NOTHING!”
Kursk´s manpower and casualty ratio can be explained quite simply. The soviets were spread out between a total of 6 defensive lines, the germans got to focus their firepower.
To be fair, it sounds like almost all the problems with Kursk could be fixed by giving the player the tanks as mission-critical units. The rest is bugs, and mission length (which could arguably be a design choice).
So how many armor divisions are you doing to destroy in Kursk?
Zhukov: Yes.
"PANZER ON A LINE FORM THE WEHRMACHT'S SPINE"
@@ajollyduck "What about the man executing orders?"
I think its the other way around, the soviets lost thousands of tanks and vehicles and the germans only lost a couple hundred
@@matteusgreyling7074 yeah but did you know about how The Soviets had Numbers Supply and the ability to produce 10 tanks per 1 german tank
@@veznanthecorruptedking6236 bruh, Stalin put full factory on the T-34 and dont have green air, Soviet players smh
Soldiers wildly out of position doing whatever the hell they want, nonsensical orders, enormous battles that ultimately have no point whatsoever because of events happening elsewhere...ah, it reminds me of the good-old-days when I had time to play EVE.
Looks at video name, realizes he’s playing on the German side,
Seems historically accurate.
"JG52 has just lost their most talented commander"
Couldn't have been that talented if he got shot down...
it's luffewaffe they weren't the best pilots
Actually, when germans started operation, they simply did't know, that they are outnumbered. It was already too late, when they realised it. And in second half of the battle of kursk there was two big soviet counter-offensive, when soviet tried to break the german defence.
*the enemy is here, raise the alarm!*
*you didn't raise the alarm; **_Mission Success_*
German army: please nerf soviets, they're hurting the Meta
The devs actually listened to feedback and fixed the kursk mission. Here's what they fixed/added.
1. No more timer
2. Improved support fire mechanic
3. Access to mortars and artillery signaler
4. Access to light tanks
5. Supporting AI artillery
6. Command of Snipers and flamethrowers
Kursk mission is so badly done that it almost got me to refund the game
it's honestly surprising how this mission got itself into release in this state
The part about Germans attacking with less men and still winning reminded me of a similar story. In 1944 on the eastern front, 20 Estonians attacked around 80 soviets in a 300 meter long trench and came out on top near the Narva river (i might be off about a few things)
Or how 9 French soldiers held off 5000 Italians (with artillery support)

@@isaac3140 Only 5,000 Italians?
@@jamesharding3459 no see, there were at least 10 germans with them xD
Germans won so hard at Kursk they lost up to 1000 km of ground until the year ended
@@isaac3140 I like those odds
After playing the game on the hard setting, can confirm, hardest and worst mission in the game. I had to play without the fog of war just to complete it.
13:03 German High Command when they go around the Maginot Line.

I dont know Rimmy, you losing your mind at Kursk is exactly how its suppossed to be... thats very historical
You were so angry that you did not noticed that the achievements are named with Variables instead of text.
The Dev's of this game really need to learn that some times less is more.
I've never heard of this game but because Rimmy is playing it I'm going to watch.
Can I also just mention how Rimmy was autocorrected to Tommy?
Well guess I'm getting my strategy game addiction back.
Why am I not surprised it was a timmy video that did it to me

5:53 those are the classic Red Army Cavalry Helmet/Hat, they have a proper name that I forgot about. I think they were made (or designed at least) for the Russian Empire just before the Revolution but never put into service until the Reds found them.
Edit: the name is Budenovka or Fruzenka (mostly the first)
It is not cavalry only, it was widely used by infantry too but I think they are more popularly associated with the cavalry (and also the Russian Civil War, rather than WW2, by which the hat was mostly not in use by regular Red Army personel).
you can attack with smaller numbers as long as you’re engaging with higher numbers. concentration of forces Rimmy!
Fun fact of the day;Germans can’t regurgitate(throw up)
"Germans can't throw up" The bastards invented Oktoberfest what did you think would happen?
I dare you to put that into ARMA and have your boys do a FAAAAAAAAR better job of the whole operation.
Unfortunately I can probably guess the missions that are going to be in the Soviet campaign based on the style that they prefer. Stalingrad, battle of Moscow and either siege of Leningrad or clearing some European city stronghold from German army. Leningrad is more likely. Maybe Berlin or reverse Kursk. What I want to see is Brest fortress, but done good. It deserves it.
You are exactly right, Moscow, battle near Leningrad and at Stalingrad. But there's also partisan missions
@@maxflug8008 guessed so. They have just done the most famous battles with a sprinkle of something else. Which is unfortunate. There's a lot to be told about the western front. But unfortunately I myself am guilty of not knowing a lot about my country's history. I'm more interested in the history of tech.
No wonder they were like "You can only show missions 1 & 2 until the embargo drops."
I once said that the only way to add something fresh in WW2 game is to let players fight for loosing (current battle) side. Well then.
The AI is brilliant.
hey Rimmy, will you ever demonstrate your small arms anti-aircraft skills in this game?
The enemy ai at 23:40 "you see Ivan, if we throw enough people at them, then they'll run out of bullets and we'll overwhelm them" in the end, through tactical brilliance against the Germans of the eastern front, Boris got the golden star (hero of the Soviet Union)
"Every time I think of operation citadel my stomach churns over" -Adolf Hitler
At the point where there were two German aircraft and one appeared to be attacking the other he could be said that the Russians stole a bf-109 and that's the one that was chasing the other bf-109
I was thinking captured 109 or possibly a wingmate following him down to see where ends up and then report that in
17:20, actual recording of German Commander after a battle on the Eastern Front stating all the problems directly to the leader himself. He was fired for insubordination 3 days later for questioning high command.
Could you continue the game known as Wargame Red dragon, I liked it alot actually
It’s a great game
I think there’s an issue with the games community, certain players often abuse the chat to say stuff that would get the video taken down, especially if they realize someone is recording.
@@quox3987 oh so a shitty community you say?
@@finskiduck4200 yes it’s a very bad Community for the most part idc doe
@@skyninjaslayer337 So its a case of a great game being ruined by a shitty community.
Yeah, Kursk even looks terrible. I can hardly imagine how it's was like (but sneaking through the position of t-34 was the best part of it, Alfa-legionaries were impressed).
They listened to you
removed the timer and gave you access to mortars and some artillery support in the kursk mission
actually pretty fun now
I would like to see how to co-op plays. Maybe with more than 1 person controlling everything it'd make life easier for you.
My first thoughts at 3:17
“Huh, so Germans don’t have a gag reflex then?”
Loving the content. Please do more of these.
Well, they're right about one thing, I was 'shocked' they released it so soon and so unfinished
Hey Rimmy! Those helmets you mentioned at 5:52 are actually "Budenovka," "Frunzenka," and officially designated as a 'broadcloth helmet.' A type of cap designed for multiple-season use, but mostly winter, with ear and cheek-flaps that fold down from the head. If you've ever played the Winter War mod for Rising Storm: Vietnam, you'll find them pretty common. They have their origins even from the Kiev Rus helmets worn by Bogatyrs and various horsemen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budenovka
Also, amazing video! I've been trying to play this game but got fucked over by needing to buy the original CtA so I'll wait for a sale, hope you take care!
Dude I can hear you rant about just about anything and I'll enjoy myself
I have not laughed this much in a long time, thank you!😂❤
I'm always reminded of that Call of Duty Classic expansion Kursk mission where you chill in the trenches, fight off waves of Germans, then a Stuka just shits itself out of the sky in a giant fire ball
lol hilarius playthrough, I live your surpirse reactions haha
More Gates of Hell: Ostfront, Co-Op would be cool to see too.
Me: Sitting at home with suspected COVID.
TH-cam: Rimmy has a new Gates of Hell video.
Me: There is a god in heaven.
Update: I did not have Covid.
It's fun watching rimmy cbt'ing himself
"shock release", well I guess I know what I'm playing when my hands need a rest from BattleGroup VR. Seriously, I love how the game is chock-full of those "Max Schwartz Moments", and since you say there's an ENDLESS CONQUEST MODE?! Yeah, I'm sold.
Halfway through, with all the bugs: "UHH, ON SECOND THOUGHT...ARE YOU *SURE* it was a good idea to release this game?"
Just rimmy realiseing that the nazis really did have it bad and why they lost
Congrats of the new desk kun.
‘It’s a single man with a PPSh, you don’t need a FUCKEN stürmpanzer!’
Given the trajectory for call to arms, it's nice that this turned out well.
Aaaaaand then I saw the convoy mission
12:08 "Right Herr Rimmy! FIRING AT THE TANK!"
"Expectations were high, and tank busters flew low." I like that line.
Digitalmindsoft: *shock release*
Rimmy: *shock review*
glad you put this vid up, having seen that kursk mission I don't think i'm gonna be buying this game. god that looked miserable.
PLEASE do the other campaign! Watching you play rts is absolutely glorious!
I'd enjoy seeing more of this game
I always knew you would play this game someday
6:22 - 6:27 best one liner I heard from Rimmy
He’s gone clinically insane after this
Funfact, the Pilot (Günther Rall) later became the head of the West German Luftwaffe in 1971
6:01 Budionovka or originally "Буденовка". Is the helmet, which Red Army used in civill war and shortly after (Polish-Soviet war). Named after first Marshall of the Red Army - Semion Budionov.
When the stug opened up on the pz iv i laughed so hard xD
Yes I got here early this time also you are one of my favorite TH-camr
Oh thank god, the game never changed a bit, pure mow experience :)
In this mission, Rimmy is saddened by placeholder assets.
The mission briefing guy sounds too much like Max0r
Devs: The game is finished.
Kursk: Please. Kill me!
Now it is time for you to redo this mission in ARMA 3, but 10000 times better.
oh boy the blitz release no one expected
he's like the Gordon Ramsay
of gates of hell
If you count the reserves at Kursk, German forces had significantly less men than the Soviets had and that was because German intelligence had no idea just how many men were in reserve. Also, the Soviets having a less than favorable death to kill ratio was common on the Eastern front. I believe near the end of the war it evened to 1:1 but at the start it was 6-7:1 and in the midpoint of was 2:1. The Soviets could take these losses however while German forces could not.
Rimmy basically having the full german commander experience by going insane in krusk
Anyone else realize the intro for the missions give a Call of Duty WaW feeling?
"They keep them until they die horribly" and by die horribly I automatically assume you mean the same way I lose every infantry squad, getting caught up in the swing of things and forgetting to sweep for mines.
08:55 - "...the tanks will be _allied_ units *moving with us*."
I had a flashback to every single escort mission in every game I've ever played and how every single one has been an utter disaster thanks to said "allies". Unless the AI is hard scripted with limited actions or immortality, they will find a way to pointlessly and horribly die and fail the mission. Every time.
You know it's bad when the tank crew requests the fucking Alphabet as ammunition
the TH-camr always break the game for fun
F**kin' hell I wanna hang out and kick ass with this badass Aussie! T~T
Man I'm excited for this, just gotta find people to play with.
Praise be to Rimmy! He sacrifices his sanity for our entertainment.
