Wars IRL versus IG

I’m coming up with thirty-two point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.

ID: ht6zmop

This person Leeroys.

ID: ht76br4

That's not how it went down... they all got destroyed because of Leeroy, so this "cartoon" doesn't work well.

But it's OK, at least he has chicken..

ID: ht70yvh

Christ alright, here’s what we’ll do. Get divine intervention on all our mages, so we can AE fast, we’re bringing all these guys gotta get them down quick. Uh I will run in and use intimidating shout, after that Bass run in and use his shout too.

Speed, surprise, and violence of action.

"At first the Germans didn't shoot at him. I don't think they could quite believe what they were seeing. But that wasn't the really astounding thing. The astounding thing was that after he hooked up with I company, he came back."

well, time for another rewatch it is then.

YES i was thinking the same thing!

Just look at WW1+2 records. Quite a few instances of one crazy motherfucker rushing a whole group of enemies and winning.

ID: ht69y9p

That's because they never record the 10,000s of guys who rushed alone and died, so you don't get a true proportional success rate.

ID: ht6pz15

Yeah I'm sure there's another universe where the Germans of WWI have a story of "some guy named York who gobbled like a turkey in the middle of a battle" and got shot for being ridiculous

ID: ht6s5tw

Banzai charges should tell the story.

ID: ht7cs9q

The last death in WWI actually was one of these guys, an American soldier. He died exactly one minute before the Armistice of 1918 that ended the war by charging a German machine gunner. The gunner literally tried to plead and wave to him not to charge because he didn't want to kill him just before the Armistice.

Surivorship bias indeed.

ID: ht7jv4o

Here's a hometown hero who died doing it

ID: ht6a2z7

It's called the survivor bias for a reason.

ID: ht6ysz1

My grandpa got a silver star for this. He always said "Some Germans surprised us so I ran out on the road and started shooting. I don't know what happened but when it calmed down they weren't there anymore." Blocked it out from his memory. He also woke up screaming in the middle of the night for decades.

ID: ht7ka0x

So anyway, I started blasting

Sergeant Alvin York really was one BAMF.

82nd all the way.

Survivor bias. You are not counting the countless other folk who did the same thing and were destroyed the moment they crested the trench.

No.

ID: ht6ruuc

OP didn't claim it was effective, just that it has happened.

ID: ht6o259

Leo mayor?

ID: ht79s25

Quite a few instances of one crazy motherfucker rushing a whole group of enemies and winning.

Maybe by irony you said "winning" and not "surviving". They were doing it with the intent of winning the battle by sacrificing their life, like rushing into a nest and setting off a grenade that takes their life and the life of the enemy.

ID: ht7nub4

there are instances it can work more than not (close ambushes) but rarely over an open field (with working guns, at least)

Leeroy died and wiped the team...

ID: ht76bej

"Many WHELPS"

ID: ht7g0u1

more dots! more dots!

ok, stop dots!

ID: ht83it6

That's a fucking 50 DKP minus!

6 : Anonymous2022/01/18 14:34 ID: ht6hxf5

That's exactly what they used to teach us, to charge an ambush.

Audie Murphy has enter the game

8 : Anonymous2022/01/18 13:57 ID: ht6d2tz

Leeroy died tho?

ID: ht7fj6a

Yeah but at least he still had his chicken

ID: ht7m56c

Exactly, which is why he survived here, because it's real life and not a video game!

ID: ht7m9bg

Wow this reverse psychology is blowing my mind right now

Sometimes the enemy does something so incomprehensively stupid it catches you off guard.

10 : Anonymous2022/01/18 20:07 ID: ht7ytpr

Jamsheed the RPG god- “why charge in when you can fire 1 RPG from a few hundred yards away standing out in the open?”

11 : Anonymous2022/01/18 15:29 ID: ht6pya9

Soldiers are trained to shoot at people who hide behind cover or try to outrun gunfire, and are expected to face such.

However, when a soldier comes face to face with some crazy motherfucker that's running straight at them while yelling at the top of their lungs, it does tend to panic them a bit

In the crusades a group of crusaders were surrounded and outnumbered inside a castle. They had to resort to drinking their own piss to stay hydrated. They became delirious and thought that God had sent angels down to support them to they did the unthinkable and open the castle gates and charged slaughtering their freaked out foes down to the last man.

The most dangerous foe is one who is the most unpredictable

Some Audie Murphy level bullshit.

14 : Anonymous2022/01/18 20:41 ID: ht84ge8

Honestly though, sadly unless you know your opponents have terrible aim, unlike in video games where you have a certain amount of health, all it takes is for them to land one shot for you to either die or become incapacitated which is why you should NOT do this in real life

In 2022...

Fifth panel, not pictured: blam, head shot. "Sniper!"

17 : Anonymous2022/01/18 16:52 ID: ht732no

I forget the group, ISIS probably, but they have these "holy warriors" whose literal job it is to be complete badasses, charge enemy fortifications, bust open bases, smoke everyone out, or die trying. They generally arent the ones who die, but their mission isnt over until they do, so they get sent out to keep doing it. I've seen it a video of it in action, its a scary thing

Violence of action can turn the tide.
