The CIWS shooting down German rocket and 88mm artillery while the incoming alarm sounded was pretty awesome. Imagine being the German forward observer watching these advance air defenses literally shooting shells straight out of the air with pinpoint accuracy.
105mm but yeah...
That would be the first war America has won alone !

@@petemelanyevans9162 Well, they did win against Mexico.
@@petemelanyevans9162 Somewhere around 1863 they were in some kind of war. Who helped them win back then? Heard they had quite a strong enemy...
I don't think Normandy would even happen with modern technology. We'd just take the fight directly to the Germans
B2s would just hit Berlin and Hitlers eagle nest on day 1.
They'd be fucked no matter what, AFAIK the ceiling for the B2 And B52 Are higher than most AA Could fire.
Even if we did have to storm the coast, JDAMs, Bunker-Busters and AC-130s would make quick work of aa, bunkers and any strong point or supply's left. Helicopters would offload almost an entire battalion of men (at least), skipping the bloodbath on the beach, leaving plenty of time to offload more men, tanks and supplies in a leisurely and orderly manner. Aachen wouldn't have been nearly so troublesome either. Berlin may have liberated before the Soviets could even cross the German/Polish border.
@@sharkybate7115 ifs and buts though. If the US has this shit what would the EU have ... the same. The Soviets would be pouring across a nuked Germany long before the US got on the sand.
You would have the help of the RN though ... all three ships. Canada would be prosecuting the war using hate speech laws. Half the UK would be helping whilst the smaller half would be moaning about it and, not so, secretly helping Jerry.
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle Based on this vid, my assessment is assuming only the US is modern. If all Allies are modern, it would be akin to Dessert Storm, where the whole thing is done in a month and a week.

Its still roleplay, but in a different way
@@michaelgamble2848 10940 US Military wins they are from the far future
@@secondhanzo4938 They could just walk into machine gun fire by 10940 and come out just fine cause by that time armour technology would make our current tech almost useless 😂
My opinion the fight would have been much different...
1. German Fighters would not make it into the battlefield nor even see the F-22's or F-35's, they would just start dropping out of the sky.
2. Attack would happen at 3am and all bunkers, artillery, runways, infrastructure, bridges and armor would be taken out by either Cruise Missiles, JDAM's or GBU-28 Bunker Busters from High Altitude.
3. Naval Forces would never have been that close to shore especially the carriers and would not have been needed for Air support since RAF Fairford is 160 Miles from Omaha Beach. F-22's and F-35's would have flown Air cap over the battlefield while the B-1's, B-2's and B-52's would have decimated the entire shore batteries.
4. They would not have needed C-17's dropping in tanks since the US Army would have used their LCU-2000 landing craft that could hold (5) M-1 Abrams Tanks and would have easily landed on the beach after the main attack.
5. Once all Targets within 15 miles out have been neutralized since German WWII Artillery had a range of 11 miles. Support Elements would start being mobilized to the shore.
6. The main objective would not be Omaha at this point but Sword which would allow the capture Caen Airport quicker and to create a base to allow C-17's, V-22's, C-130's and CH-53's to bring in the Tier 3 Units from Great Britain where they would be staged. It also would allow other landing craft to arrive closer to the base since Caen has an inland port which is 6 miles from the Airport. This would allow troops to stage equipment and supplies much faster and easier.
7. There would be no clearing bunkers with troops, A-10's would not be providing close air support until the bunkers, AA Guns, Artillery were neutralized.
This fight would be very swift, quick and devastating since it would be done in darkness with Night Vision and Thermal Technologies which would leave the German's in complete disarray and their command unable to communicate. I believe their will to fight would have ceased within the first 30 min.
Great summation

Nah, in regards to number 4 you gotta think like a general. Specifically a general that was in the airborne or something that just wants a chance to conduct a combat jump that he never got to do as a young officer all those years ago so now he's gonna do it because he can.
For anyone who is too oblivious to tell, this is a joke.
Ther would be no F-22 or F-35 at Omaha but F-18 since US send its carriers, and right now, they only carrier combat aircraft is F-18, and they would not send their modern air force to England Air Fields for 2 reasons.
1. It is still internal war between US and UK for dominance after WWII
2. No airfield in UK at the time is capable of operating raptors
Imagine chilling in a Bunker on Point Du Hoc and you see a bunch of LCACs loaded with M1 Abrams approaching the beach
I don't think that's a correct beach to field vehicles, place is surrounded by cliffs.
and there would be no bunkers left as any fortication would be blasted by a cruise missile or a bunker buster(if they still use it)/smart bombs..
@@userjlj there'd be plenty of bunkers left. The SAMs would have denied the air to any planes trying to get withing 200 miles of the beach. No amount of HARMs could make a dent in something built that scale.
The idea that a western air force can just waltz in over an airspace defended by modern AA systems is jingoism and self delusion. SAM systems are a whole lot cheaper to build than planes are, and they're a lot more effective at anti-air ops too.
You'll notice that in the last 50 years, only in the Arab-Israeli wars of 67 and 73 did modern aircraft face modern SAMs. There a reason why we don't do this anymore. And a reason why the Russian S400 and US Patriot is so feared. SEAD against such is IMMENSELY dangerous even with high tech weapons such as a F35.
If Normandy had the equivalent S400 systems stationed there, no aircraft would have ever gotten withing 100 miles or more of the coast. They'd be stuck in Britain.
WW2 tactics with modern weapons doesn't ever work, if your opponent also has modern weaponry. Only when they don't does it work out OK.
I would get depressed
The bunkers would be taken out by that time by satellite guided cruise missiles.

So much overkill. Anything from the F4 onwards would have been enough - no point in using a stealth anything when no one else has anything approaching modern radar.
@@TheFaldoran nope the F4 is still be able to be shot down by WW2 AA gun (Vietnam war is an example)

Imaging being a German commander at Normandy Beach in the middle of the night and out of nowhere, most of your bunkers explode and the only thing you herd was a sonic crackle before the explosions simultaneously went off. You decide to fire your 88s and other artillery batteries toward the beaches only to see almost all of the shells explode in the sky before they even hit the ground. Even more so, imagine being a Luftwaffe pilot on your way to Normandy and at around 20 miles or so before you even reach your target, almost all of the planes around you mysteriously explode at the same time and you didn't even see or hear anything in the air before hand.

Yeah, see... that wouldn't happen. The 30mm rounds are supersonic. They would arrive before the sound of the gun. So suddenly the world around them just explodes in a hail of metal and depleted uranium as some rounds explode, and others just punch through everything. Pretty standard for the GAU-8 Avenger to run 'combat mix' as they call it. Then the sound of the gun gets to them.
Why observers here two sets of sounds are thanks to the fire rate of the A-10 is from the impact of the munitions and some detonating, and then the sound catches up. Both sound about the same, since they have the same frequency. But the target is dead before they hear 'the fart.'

Whilst this shows the effect of modern tech against the Normandy defences, the _actual_ battle would have been much quicker.
A modern Battleship would have sat about a mile out of Dover and just _DEVASTATED_ the beach defences. Each bunker would have had a cruise missile posted through the gun port.
Instead of British and US paratroopers being dropped in prior to the invasion, a joint task force of SAS and SEALs would have HALO’d in and just played merry hell with the defenders and reserve units.
British Paras, RM Commandos, 1st Marine Recon and US Rangers wouldn’t have fast roped on the beach, they would have fast roped _directly on to the bunker objectives_
The Luftwaffe wouldn’t have even made it into the air, all of the aircraft would have been bombed on the airfields the night before.
All of this would have been done in the dead of night. The attack would have commenced at midnight, Allied troops would be pushing into Paris by dawn.
The total liberation of France would have taken a week (give or take a day)
Total German Surrender within 2 months.
Less after a few MOABs and then telling them that we have bigger.
@@alaneskew2664 yeah, Park an Ohio outside of London, and ready a single trident.
Small correction: Modern navies don't use battleships. Maybe you mean warships? Many people misuse the word battleships.
So, one Surface Action Group.
This would include a submarine, which fires TLAMs.
TLAMs would deal with the bunkers fairly easily, and with a little bit of help from F-35 spotting, SEAD pretty good too.
After that, its a matter of eliminating targets at will.
Meanwhile, engagement of enemy aircraft that do manage to scramble will be done with AMRAAM or Sidewinder.
Deployment of NATO coalition to follow after SBS, SAS, Delta, and SEAL forecon operations finish.
Land invasion is really only limited by supply lines, armored divisions effortlessly roll up the Wehrmacht, only urban zones proving a problem.
In that then, Apache gunships engage in CAS and eliminate with laser guided 70mm rockets.

Pretty interesting concept, but could our fighters have slowed enough to engage the Germans without overshooting them?
No, modern aircraft have a higher stall speed than any WW2 fighter's top speed, iirc. Additionally current RADAR capabilities are might not detect WW2 Luftwaffe aircraft, due to not having enough metal content in their construction, so those missiles wouldn't work. IFF would also only be "hearing" friendly signals, so technically that works as intended. Heat-seeking missiles might work, but they might end up targeting your own aircraft, or even ground vehicles, of both sides, but I don't know exactly how their seeker programming works.
The best air defense in this case, modern United States Armed Forces, versus WW2 German Whermacht, would be to destroy the airfields the Luftwaffe are operating from. Classic SOCOM mission, see Britain's SAS in North Africa earlier in the war. Or add those airfields to the target list for the cruise missiles, and initial air strikes. Failing that, the Phalanx CWIS can do the job at the beachhead, once deployed, and before they are, the M2 .50 machine gun was originally from WW2, so any vehicle mounting one of these, as a pintle-mount, like on a Humvee, or atop the turret of an Abrams, can contribute to the air defense of the beachhead.
Disclamer: I'm an Australian civilian, with no first hand knowledge of American military weapons, and technology. The above has come from my own thought expirments, born from an interest in 20th century warfare, including WW2 and Vietnam.
@@deathdisclover999 Every year for the last 5 years i have seen a tribute fight with the F-22, A-10, P-51 Mustang, and an F-15. If what you said about stall speed is correct that could never happen but I've seen it. With thrust vectoring I would guess that a F-22 can go slower than the stall speed of any fixed wing WWII aircraft. Don't forget the Harrier, it can sit stationary in the air if it wants to.
@@deathdisclover999 While the metal content in a target is a factor in RADAR detection, it is but a minor one as modern day systems have a resolution strong enough to detect birds at long range, its however filtered out to prevent signal saturation. Remember, every single civilian passanger jet has a radar designed to detect individual water droplets that make up the clouds. IR-missiles however might see a drop in efficiency at least initially as prop planes have a sginificantly lower heat signature, but they would rarely if ever target friendlies by accident, as they are being fed the targets aspect directly before launch and ignore anything that doesnt have the same aspect. The workaround would be to simply fire the missiles are closer range where the high resolution seekers of the missiles have a much easier time to lock on to a planes signature.
This was actually the big issue in Vietnam, early gen IR-missiles were tested and developed in a dry environment, but Vietnams humid climate made the otherwise sharp exhaust signature of a jet engine bloom out to a massive blob on the seeker head which lead to the missiles often missing their targets. While this was quickly fixed in later versions, the stigma never really went away in those days.
On a final note, when engaging a significantly slower target, the Air Force has two options for engaing. One is the "boom and zoom" tactic where the engaging fighters take up speed, get into firing range, drop their missiles, fire a couple cannon salvos and leave the field without much maneuvering and then use their momentum to get out of the engagment zone, make a turn at a safe distance then come in again for another pass. Jousting, basically. The other is the "bait and switch" where one fighter actually slows down enough to make themselves an inviting target, becomming the bair, then when a tango gets behind them, the first fighter maneuvers in such a way to open the pursuer up for the second fighter that has been out of sight this whole time, effecitvely switching the roles between hunter and hunted.
Your analysis on how the Luftwaffe would be crippled while still on the ground was spot on. Just to correct a minor technicallity, the ground based version of the Phalanx CIWS is called a C-RAM. ^^

What if modern US military fighting nazi in wolfenstein new order timeline?
The one with the modern equipment Would win always
Germans would still get wrecked. The Germans barely have a military

🤣🤣🤣
Ah shit they got flying goldfish in the sky ;-;

@Tristan Irvine Balolong at the end.
You guys did really well in executing this professionally and beautifully. Well done 👍🏻
modern soldiers: lets do this!
Nazis: wtf-
*gun shot
modern soldier: i wonder why we are fighting soldiers from 50 years ago
ac-130 in the sky: that shot was right on target
nazi soldier: … I surrender
suddenly in reddit post
200 bc? This was only 80 years ago lol
This is the worst comment ive ever seen
Failed to locate the funny.
“And over there you see our vast defense network we have set up to- and it’s gone”
AC-130 vs German trenches, beautiful. I was expecting to see AAVP-7 Am-Tracks coming up out of the water spraying the German bunkers with 40mm HEDP, then the Marines doing the same with their M-203s once they got closer. You also missed a moment by not helo assaulting Pont-du-Hoc while playing "Ride of the Valkaries". The F-22s should have had the RAF Lakenheath "LN" tail code instead of the "AK" tail code of Alaska based aircraft. But otherwise a good video.
BTW as I originally watched "Saving Private Ryan", I thought "Wow these guys need M-79 40mm Grenade launchers, they would make their lives SO much easier".
the german aa would not even work against the US planes because they simply fly to fast..
The fast flying jets? Yes. The Prop planes? NO
Be quite and enjoy the vedio
how do you know the maximum tracking speed of ww2 german anti aircraft weapons, did you use them?
@@Graymenn you know we have documentation of that stuff right
@@frostyvr9805 by all means tell me the traverse and elevation adjust rate of the 88, 20mm, wirbelwind etc.... and please, show your work with math to prove that the adjust rate couldnt keep up with a modern jet fighter because im sure you can find the rates of adjustment, but you then have to apply that to the flight dynamics of a modern jet.....
you realize that when a plane is at 25000 feet even at mach 2, it will remain in the field of view of ground based aaa for quite some time, showing a very slow angular change from the pov of the aaa...
now the argument could be made that they couldnt hit them because of altitude (either too high or too low) High because of shell limitations and low because of tracking speeds, but to try to make the blanket statement that german aaa couldnt hit a modern fighter just because of its speed is ridiculous.
This is the equivalent of people armed with bows and arrows and swords, fighting people armed with muskets and cannons. It's no contest.
Musketeer can reload three times a minute, whereas an experienced archer can loose around fourteen arrows in the same time. These weapons were together on the battlefield for around two hundred years.
@@cambs0181 Muskets and cannons have a greater range than bows and arrows, which is why the latter was phased out over the centuries as muskets and cannons became better and more advanced. A platoon of modern soldiers, fully armed, would defeat a company or even a battalion of soldiers from 400 years ago, thanks to the advancements of weaponry. Even generals and soldiers back then knew about the advantages of superior firepower and that new and more advanced weapons were being invented all of the time.
Do a hunt for the Bismark, where the royal navy has an Astute class submarine
1 week max before the Bismarck is ⚰️
Both bismarck and Prinz Euguen would be probably one or two shot by torpedoes even whitout seeing them coming.
That was awesome!!! Coolest thing I've seen in a long time!!
Interesting idea, I think it would be neat to have a military from 1987 vs a military of 2021.

Epic!! Thank you!
The US military is so heavily armed these days they'd visit a massacre on their German counterparts. Even if they were equally armed their numbers would play a major factor. AI controlled drones is also a factor, a very frightening factor.
Time traveller: *stands up
The timeline:
incredible, this give a idea of how will be the second D-day against the elf-nazis in the novel of "AMERICA IN ANOTHER WORLD".
Hello fellow AIAW reader :)
@@rizkyputrar6646 hi 😁😬☺
Ayeeeee
Hello fellow reader
@@lt.x-02s-wyvern25 hi 😁.
This seems somewhat realistic, although MBT's would be landed in support of infantry. Nor would barrage-balloons be needed with modern AA systems and modern fighters and strike-aircraft decimating the Luftwaffe and it's bases.
I love this video, like another version of "The final countdown" but with all the branches, in the ETO. Just imagine the panzers get released early that morning, only to encounter cav screens with Bradley AFVs, hummers with TOW missile and roving anti tank missile teams of dismounts, and THEN the Panthers and Tigers get popped by Abrams tanks with never seeing the allied vehicles...
Can you do the F-14 Tomcat vs Me 262? Inspired by the 1980 movie, The Final Countdown.
P.S. I have a question, what if a Cold War era British Regiment (with plenty of troops, vehicles including tanks; like the Centurion (Mk.13) and Chieftain (Mk. 10), helicopters, plentiful ammunition including tank rounds) was sent back in time the Zulu War? And What will they do in this situation?
"to the Zulu War" I mean...
Personally, I hate making typing mistakes.
With the Zulu war. I think the Brits will definitely win
Bye bye Zulus. Spears vs helicopters. lol. oh man.... that image.
The 262 was impressive for it's time. but no match for a Tomcat.
Too bad the Horten 229 never got built.
you don't even need a regiment.. a battalion(or even just a company) together with some light vehicles(with heavy MG's like the .50 cal or LMG's on top) are more than enough.. at one point they were only up against 4000 zulu warrior.. tanks would be overkill..
@@userjlj a couple of mortar round and some HEAT rounds would be enough
Time travler: *moves*
The timeline:
Watch the movie "The Final Countdown", it's about the USS Nimitz, a 1980 aircraft carrier transported back to 1941 just before the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor.
It's nothing compared to most CVs today but it's technically Modern vs WW2.
While i liked the movienit was such a tease lol. I wanted a sequel where they went to dday or something
I've always dreamt about something like this. So, I have to say....A MASSIVE THANK YOU
This would make a great movie.
Idk if you’ve ever seen the movie where the Nimitz carrier and it’s full fleet of F14 Tomcats and A7 corsairs get put back in time to Pearl Harbor. It’s pretty interesting
Or tv series
Imagine, Wolfenstein MachineGames meets Battlefield: Portal, Modern Military vs. Nazi Military in terms of training, tactics, strategy, quantity and quality from Land, Sea and Air.
This was very impressive! One thing though that didn’t sit right with me is the fact that the US aircraft were F-22s and not F-18 Hornets cause realistically they couldn’t launch from a aircraft carrier.
There is a trilogy by John Birmingham called WW2.1. It was about a 2020 United Nations task force responding to a emergency in Indonesia gets transported back in time to 1942 ? and accidentally wreck the USN. 1 of the novels actually had the D-Day landings with a mix of uptime, contemporary and auxiliary weapons and forces.
Uptime - was those who came back in time.
Contemporary (Temp) were those who belong in that era and used contemporary historical units and weapons and tactics.
Auxiliary - were those who joined the Uptimers as a auxiliary force but under Uptime 2020 laws and rules.
It was a United Nations task forced centered around the USS Hilary Clinton - Fusion Stack powered aircraft carrier (nicknamed 'The Big Hill').
The uptimers ended up making historical (by their standards) weapons such as F-86, Chinooks and even a 1944 B-52 variant.
there is also a good time travel novel like in the film the last countdown where a plane carrier (uss carl vinson) from the year 1991 is lost back in january 1941 and then f14 tomcats fight against japanese zeros also the book by ML MAKI Fighting Her Father's War : The Fighting Tomcats you can read it
German 1:Enemy AC130 above
German 2:what the hell is a AC130
German 1:a flying castle with fucking cannons
BF2042: We have new portal mode.
Arma 3: ?
Imagine being a German pilot and seeing that flying thingy without any rotary fan or something like that and seeing your comrade fall one by one and you don't even know where it's coming from.
Gold. A scenario I’ve always played in my mind.
This was awsome make more please ..
The air combat was Epic
“Hey Gunter, see that osprey there”
“Ja”
And the rest is history
"Good gunter, now pray for your life"
I could watch these types of war simulations all day.♥️👍
German scientist: That time machine backfired big time.
I love that concept, just imagine a German scientist off the coast on ship activating a Time Machine and sees a Virginia class Sub coming through the portal.
The new season of Man in the High castle looks epic
I like how this video was only 9 minutes. Probably about how long the D-Day battle would have lasted if modern tech, tactics and weapons were used against WW2 Era soldiers. It would be just the same If WW2 soldiers had the same weapons and tactics at the battle of Gettysburg or Waterloo. There's just no contest. ME-109's vs F-22 Raptors or a Panzer IV or Tiger Tank vs an Abrams? C'mon lol. Cool video though.
Honestly just regular C-130s alone would be an enormous game changer. Deliver a lot more troops a lot quicker. The total invasion troop numbers probably would be way higher.
Dude...that was awesome 👌
They're screwed.
*Sees Marine painted on the side of the heli*
Ok they are definitely screwed
Props to these brave Americans and others for going back in time to fight the Germans!
Brave? Give the Germans the same era equipment. Then let's start the bravery. Imagine, Nazi Germany equipped with Leopard 2A6, Eurofighters, Eurocopters, PantzerHowitzers, the G36 instead of K98 etc. - I'd like to see Uncle Sam make that same run
@@Doug.Dimmadome it would go the same just a little less one side
Awesome!
This was actually really neat to see
This would be a fun scenario to play
We would probably spam paratroopers and then deploy transport helicopters for regular infantry.
oh this is EPIC!!
wow man this looks so good
This is so freaking cool!!
I feel like it would be more semi realistic since Marines/Navy are leading that they use the F35 instead of 22, use the hovercraft to unload vehicles onto beach, and AH1Z Vipers instead of Apaches but none the less it’s interesting to think about how our modern military stacks up against past wars
I’m assuming the F-22s took off from air fields in the UK. Then maybe the carrier’s F35s and F18s are striking targets deep inland.
Well done!
This is basically the equivalent to fighting late-game aliens with tier 1 weapons in XCOM
Man, the Final Countdown remake looks great
