Footage is from the game "Foxhole", War 108, Able Shard, November 19 ish.
Imagine brining a fleet and only using infanry to storm the beaches.
This is massive skill issue, and probably due to the difficulty of communication in this game. Glad they're having fun, but christ allmighty just arty the beach before they land.
Imma be honest when you said a battleship escorted by TWO destroyers I was kinda worried that the landing would succeed but WOW our boys held strong.
When we lost the element of surprise, it became a meat grinder I guess hahaha
someone snitched
@@stathisstefnatos1076 Nope. I was there on the Bluefin as we transited the hex border. My clan (mostly unaffiliated with their's) had brought the Bluefin and Longhook ships to support the landings. Sure they brought a Battleship and 2 destroyers, but in their infinite wisdom those ships wondered off to hunt for Subs and bombard the island leaving the barges with our tanks and the logi ships unprotected.
A _single Warden Gunship_ chanced upon us in the rapid decay zone, where we couldn't deploy the anchors and unleash the AI gun, and murdered multiple transports. Then they obviously alerted the entire Warden faction via map marker "INVASION FORCE QRF!!!!" Or something and it was over.
wow that's... unlucky. I heard another story of how the wardens got a heads up too. Guess they got a lot of warnings :(
The fight was fun though, not gonna lie hahaha
@@barleysixseventwo6665
There is always one group that screws it up for everyone else in foxhole x.x i miss when weapons were functionally symmetrical
lol i was here at the warden side defending. it was a real meatgrinder for the collies because they couldn't get off the ships without being killed, and if they did they were greeted by flamethrowers
that intro animation was amazing
He earned my sub for that animation
Thank you
incredible levels of incompetence at every chain
Its hillarius to watch
@@juremeljo2686 *it's
how very ironic 😼
Honestly it seems like the navy didn't do their job of softening the beaches very well.
I think the Battleship died before the first landing even took place so yeah that checks out.
The biggest problem was they got detected on an Ob tower and QRF was ready and there was supplies to defend in the Relic. Massive spam happened when detected and the "bombardment" lasted 25 minutes which was more than enough time to get everyone over and defend.
not just the observation tower, a gunboat found us as we entered the hex, sunk two barges carrying loaded tanks and put a few holes in the side of the storage ship
That gunboat alone probably did more damage than any other warden defender
I can’t tell if beach landings are viable yet cuz there’s nothing stopping defenders from counter rushing the beach
They are viable Wardens just had won Tempest in a beach landing
Battleship and destroyer gunfire support makes Russian a beach really risky, as whole tank columns are vulnerable to naval artillery.
And, if a bluefin is there, the landing force has easy access to tanks of their own to defend their beachhead with.
Yeah you probably want lore Apc and less landing barge x)
Apc is such soo much better, it protect you and you can shoot out of it while moving
Those barge can be used later when the beach as been cleared
The defending side was obviously prepared for the landing in this video.
Was the Battleship and Destroyer even bombarding the beach? From the pov of the video it doesn't look like it.
i saw a distinct lack of arty from the battleship and destroyers while landing was going on, as a part of MSA, we REALLY need to use our fucking ships better
This op was not conducted by any part of MSA. It got fucked up for different reasons from the very beginning :D
@redsun4187 it's not the op shown in this video, but MSA did this exact landing in the same war, so I believe I was confused
this is why navy ops need the element of suprises sense dear god they have push 40s and flamers and mgs everywhere on that beach holy crap
10:32 Praise the pile!
At night when the Collies gather around the campfire, they tell the tale of Bobby the Brusing Boarder
Something that could of helped the landing was using the gunboats with a mix of shrapnel/HE morters to provide cover directly on the beach until a encampent could be placed which would of provided a temp anchor until it gets shelled into oblivion
Man, i like quality of video. It looks like video of some 100k+ subscribers channel. Animations and montage, everything is great. Make more such videos if you have time. Try to contact with devs , they can put your video into ingame main menu log.
Thanks but I think I'm a little too small for that, for now at least hahaha :D
This is why you need a para drop before the landing.
Wow, I can't believe you have less than 1k subscribers. Your channel is massively underrated, I just binged all your videos and you make some great stuff. Your editing is punchy, I like that you caption everything, the animations and drawings are awesome. Keep it up!
Thanks, that means a lot :)
No longer less than 1K subs ;)
These videos are great. Obviously things didn't work out, but I see all the tools present to succeed. Nobody's got the strategy down yet but I'm sure that will begin to change soon enough. Main issue I see is lack of fire support to clear the beaches. No point in dropping a landing craft with 15 infantry that's in the direct line of fire of 3 machine gun nests - time to pick a different beach if that's the case, IMO. Also, the element of surprise is critical to beach landings IRL. During D-Day, allied command did everything humanly possible to direct the German's main attention elsewhere. The marines would've never taken Normandy if a panzer division was already sitting on top of their landing site.
I really like your videos man, keep it up!
Hey, it's me at 7:54! I was weapon locked from too many Sgts running in front of my MG so I tried to return your Lt Col.
If d day failed this would be it, wether failing or succeeding this is really cool to watch and made me play fox hole again. The desire to make these scenarios happen entirely by players still blows my mind and makes me appreciate this game so much
They need to stop calling every beach landing in a dumpster fire D-Day. It’s more of a Dieppe landing 😂😂😂
Well, someone did comment that it's more like Gallipoli than D-day... 😅
Ahh, i see why the collies are losing
Not seen in this video: as we were leaving, the Storage Ship, with all the ground vehicles, was harassed all the way to Endless Shore, I was one of the crewmen aboard it.
The plan was to go regroup at Port of Rime behind the Coastal Gun. then go south back to Terminus through Tempest, The Fingers, Reavers Pass.
Warden Gunboat Harassers caught up to the Storage Ship. In the chaos, we missed Port of Rime, forcing us to keep pushing forward and hide behind the Saltbrook Coastal Gun in Endless Shore
Because of Warden Battleship and Submarine sightings on the open water, we ended up going back to Terminus the hard way, going half way up the River Mercy and south through Drowned Vale and Shackled Chasm.
Those Rivers are NOT friendly for Large Ships.
So that's where some of the subs went. People kept calling submarine sightings and I got really worried that we'd have to pull out longship back real soon.
Glad to see people share their side of this fight, as much as I'd like to be, I can't be everywhere during the battle hahaha
@@BlueLaminate also shoutouts to the handsome devil getting swiss cheesed with machine gun fire at timestamp 8:50
Thx for clarifying its a re-upload.
Liked and shared
Oh that's still there. I had to re upload this 5 hours after originally posting this last year because there was an editing mistake 😅
Edit: Thanks for watching :D
Hey bro I wanna wish u a Merry Xmas/ happy new year. And keep being a legend and keep making people happy with you're content. I'm always going to remember you and I've always loved watching you 🥹😎🙏 I wish you an amazing life my guy and blessing always
You too, happy holidays,
Thanks for the support :D
I don't know about "Legend" I'm just around legendary & funny people :D
I'm one minute in and i can already tell that you're underrated
Thanks, I try 😅
7:10 Proof of Warden War Crimes.
I can't stop watching your videos, having too much fun!
3:20 nice animation realy cool
Lmao, this was fun to watch. good editing
Wooow, those 3D animations bro 🔥🔥
That sure was a Gallipoli
I guess so lol
Never played this game. It seems like an Eve Online type, in that it just constantly creates amazing player stories.
Well, almost every older player has a war story that they really want to tell :)
Never been more proud of being a warden
fox hole players are built different, I would have given up after the 3rd attempt
Well THAT went well 😂
I think you should renamed to Gallipoli it's more fitting 😂
...that does make sense hahaha
oh wow, that little animation was fucking amazing!
Really love the visuals. How did you make the 3d breakdown of the operation in the beginning? Looked really good.
Thanks :D that was my second 2D intro (now basically all of my videos have one) so it took a while as I was still figuring it out.
I used blender 3d to model, animate & render for it :)
@@BlueLaminate Thank you for the fast response! Godspeed on the battlefield soldier 🫡
first thing that should happen is for arty to kill the spawn bb or th
That's actually what they did. That was actually the _problem_. The Battleship spent the first 20 minutes of the invasion targeting the bunker bases and spawn points while the troops were slaughtered on the beach. Then when they switched fire to the beach it was already too late and the Wardens were mixed in with the Colonial landers making "clean" fire support impossible.
Had they swept the beach clean from the start, we might have had infantry and 250mm assault guns on the beach to support the Battleship's war on concrete. But instead it was basically the Battleship vs the Axehead with the actual landing being a meaningless sideshow.
so problem there were two spawn bunkers and one was covered in howies
4:30 diabinho do céu (Little Devil from Heaven) This is the second (apparently) Brazilian I've seen in a foxhole video this week
Well, there is a big Brazilian clan called [UBGE] around, they do some crazy stuff hahaha
The animations are very cool!
Probably should have somone with binocs in the landing craft spotting.
Also i wasnt there for this but it doesnt seem like the battle ships were shooting at that coast at all?
I couldn't get too much footage of the battleships and destroyers shelling the beach sadly, since taking binoculars to a beach where people immediately died so I could watch from the boat is a bit of a waste :(
I can guarantee that they were shelling the poop outta that place though
I was the fore canon loader of the battle ship thats my regiment :D
you have to coordinate coast boming whir landing plus tanks
So what was the issue? seems like there wasn't either enough/well placed/well timed arty which made "landing" impossible.
Before I had to take down my reddit post because I needed to re-upload this, Weston(supposedly, it's reddit so idk) (That's the guy leading the logi ships) did comment. He said that some of their escort ships shelled early, giving the Wardens a little bit of a warning. Can't be too sure though, as it is with these things.
If it's true, it's a lesson learned for next time.
Also entirely possible that some warden partisans spotted us early on the way there, or the Wardens are just that good hahaha
@@BlueLaminate Wardens probably had plenty of warning, half the regiments on that operation probably had at least one Chinese alt account spy in them from China....
@@BlueLaminate Sammy - WestonSammy, his full name - is my clan leader. And yea, we built and maintained the Logi ships: The Longhook 'Beagle' and the Bluefin 'Jamball'.
Our Landing force had no gunship escort, so the barges and the Bluefin and the Longhook ended up running afoul of a single Warden Gunship. Ate 3 or 4 Barges with tanks before going down. Meanwhile the Battleship ran ahead to bombard the island early, and the destroyers wandered off to investigate Sub sightings.
The Battleship focused on hitting the Bunker Bases and other spawn points on the island, which makes sense, but unfortunately left all of the *actual* beach defenders and defenses unmolested. Meanwhile, the only vehicles brave enough to actually go to the beach with the infantry were the armed APCs we brought. Hence, it became a bit of a massacre: Unsupported infantry vs heavy defenses, armor, and emplacements.
@@BlueLaminateyall were grouped under an Ob tower for an hour. Warden chat was going crazy with the QRF.
Yeah you guys park just right under a watch tower x)
Everyone could see you coming lol 😅
Beach landings are very viable but they are also one of the hardest things to pull off. Landings most of the time, when conducted by large groups of random players will fail. Even if they bring all of the necessary equipment.
Above all beach landings require impeccable coordination and planning. As soon as you hear ten people shouting different orders and suggestions its already over. For instance the battleship needs to bombard the shore to thin the enemy numbers enough for friendly troops to progress. However this requires both the troops on the beach AND the ships off the coast to be within the same command structure. Not necessarily the same clan but a well organised set of clans in coms with one another. I will say that landings can succeed without this level of coordination but this is more the fault of the defenders than an accomplishment for the attackers.
This landing was a perfect example of having the firepower and not knowing how to use it. It looked fun for the casual players and that's a good thing, however having fun does not win wars sadly, doing things properly does. They didn't even get off the beach and they had an entire naval taskforces worth of firepower to clear it. My recommendation for anyone wanting to do this as you're main career on foxhole to join a well established regiment.
A Warden One.
shit was AWESOME!!!
Hey, just to know. If a warden cosplayer in a convention goes in the "take on me" dance, would you do the same?
Probably not hahha
@@BlueLaminate maybe, Who knows, but that would be a good Idea, right?
i forgot ammo don't worry son were your going you won't need ammo see hundred of bags on ground .....i'm not going to live through this am i looks to the side see another bag..... yep
Ah the poseidon. chronically misspelled as posiedon in squad names.
I think I actually did originally misspell it when I was editing the video, good thing I fixed that hahaha
Bad omen!
oh Look, we died.
oh, 5:29 its me :D
Welcome boys :)
Poseidon is kinda cool ngl.
Ill go with Golden Leviathan tho, cooler.
Wasn’t this the same OP ignis was a part of?
Nah, I think ignis joined a landing op in sStema landing, this one's in Oarbreaker Isles
@@BlueLaminate ah ok
Nice
You need more organisation , in my opinion that was a big mess.
what map is this? How did you animate your plan?
Godcrofts Hex, top right of the Foxhole map :)
Blender3D is the software I use for map animations :D
@@BlueLaminate congratulations, it must be time consuming and requires knowledge in the area
As a warden these landings are disappointing, like at least let the attackers take a step off the landing ship without being spam grenaded to death. It’s always unfair towards the landing force.
If the battleship or the destroyer had cleared the Warden bunkers before landing it might have succeded. I feel like naval landing fail because the big ships chicken out at the first sight of enemy naval QRF. You need to establish naval superiority before even atempting a landing to ensure your BB and DDs can destroy enemy defenses to allow the landing force to make landfall.
@@MrAhnassihell yeah that’s the theory, after that you have queue times x) you can mobilize soo much thing before it happen, especially on frontlines
0:52 To be fair, Sun Tzu also wrote a lot about how important Logistics is, and his writings can be almost be begging the idiot aristocrats turned generals who never saw mud before that you actually need to feed your army, there is a limit to how much you can forage from the land, no there is a limit to the amount of supplies a horse with a cart will be able to bring, please I beg of you actually pay attention to logistics.
Well, I've seen some crazy logistics personnel in this game, the kind that has everyone cheering when they show up. For particularly harsh logistics routes, sometimes we'd have freighters full of trucks arrive at a cliff face, use a crane to pull the trucks out of the freighters, then move the trucks in a big convoy covered with infantry on either side.
@@BlueLaminate The point is that despite it being so important and prominent through all of human history, people are still underestimating logistics. That is sort of why I like Foxhole, because they don't ignore it.
I've tried posting this comment before but it keeps getting deleted by YT so I'll try one more time. I was part of the strategic command chain for this op. I will post a link to the After Action Report here to clarify for everyone in the comments as to what really went down.
Operation Greenwave AAR: ua-cam.com/video/7s8ZTshWliY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RebelMerlin
Dang, it got taken down again? I think youtube just doesn't like people posting links. Happened to a guy that posted their POV on my Bane gang video. Hopefully this one stays up
@@BlueLaminate Yea, it is what it is.
anyone know what the censored names were?
more for the pile
Sosyal... may 3D...
What's the point having boats so big that they don't even fit on the screen? This game is messed up. :)
The sheer scale of it all :D
You need individual real people manning the guns, loading each gun, driving, spotting enemies with binoculars, bucketing water out, engine room guys, and occasionally stopping people from boarding the boat :D
I don't know how they could've done this without making the ships that big, and that's awesome. :)
😂😂😂😂
you are colonial right? i guess cause the BS looks like it
Yep, We like dem hard angles, we don't use ovals like the Wardens hahaha
