The worst depiction of ww1 of all media. Still fun game

[@rayquaza1245]

This is the number one thing any historical analysis misses when talking about bf1/games in general. There are many games that offer far more accuracy in regards to ww1 compared to bf1. But these games lack the visuals, sounds, effects, etc, that bf1 has. So despite the many nonsensical aspects of bf1, it actually feels like ww1 way more compared to games that are more accurate.

[@tomlastname85]

I am quite sure the bombers that assault the German fortress are the Caproni Ca. 5, which were used by the Italians and the Americans in WW1 but not the Royal Flying Corps 🙈

[@izaiasbaldo9349]

They do look like Ca. 5s but with the level of historycal acuracy at first glance they also look a lot like gotha GVs, that were made by the Germans... I hope you are rigth but considering EAs lack of attention...

[@WillL-y3i]

They look like a sort of mash up between the Ca. 5s and the Vickers Vimy, an aircraft used in limited amounts by the RFC in the very end of the war. The only problem is the tail, where the production model Vimys have 2 horizontal stabilizers, but some pre production models had the one stabilizer, (which matches more with the bombers in game)

[@matchesburn]

They are, indeed, Caproni Ca.5s. The reason for this is the Caproni Ca. 5 was the British faction bomber on release of Battlefield 1 and it wasn't until Battlefield 1's DLC expansion, Apocalypse, that the British faction got the Airco DH.10 as their main bomber. Campaign wasn't changed, so that's why you see the Caproni Ca. 5 being used.

[@canadaboy2503]

Battlefield 1 to this day is my gold standard for a historically accurate game. The places, equipment, operations and themes are rooted in reality even if they didn't directly exist while the gameplay characters and missions are fantastical and exaggerated to make it engaging. The most impressive part to me is how good they incorporated historically accuracy into the multiplayer of the game and for players truly interested in history they have included an extensive codex that has tons of highly accurate information. Playing battlefield 1 won't make you particularly knowledgeable about WW1, but it can easily make you more than interested enough to go out of your way to end up learning tons.

[@Teaman144]

Yeah watch frosty's one video

[@canadaboy2503]

@Teaman144 yes I've seen it, I'm not surprised at all that it has historical inaccuracies but my opinion in unchanged, what is communicated overall is more powerful than a inaccurate details, you can argue pedantics all day about if someone's leather strap is historically accurate or you can accept some stylistic choice made for most of the time gameplay purposes. Of course Germans didn't have many if any tanks in ww1 but it would be a lot less of a battlefield game withoht them

[@MrLolx2u]

- The Webley was the standard revolver sidearm of the British military but it wasn't a general "must have or you get court marshaled" for the officer corp. Back during WWI, it is still a open field for officers to pick what sidearm they wanted to bring as a personal defense weaponry into battle as they want as long as it went pass their own officers as sidearms, back then, were still paid using your own pockets thus you're free to carry what pistol you want into battle. In fact, the general British troop didn't even scorn at the Mauser C96s because soo many British officer would actually love it and use it extensively due to it being 10 rounds instead of the regular 6 which was extremely vital when it comes to trench warfare. - The chivalry code in the air is absolutely correct. However, the color on the plane thing, not really as that only happened for the German side and especially for the Red Baron's platoon, the Jagdgeschwader I which was named as the "Flying Circus" or "Richthofen's Circus" cuz they're the only squadron in the entire field to have colorful planes and due to them often always staying in set up tents, they look like a bunch of circus performers. The whole color thing was only for Richthofen's unit whereas the other JGs don't have this criteria. Also, the bomber could be the Caudron G.4 which is both a twin-boom design and also, twin-engined and used as a bomber and recon plane by the the French air force, the "Service Aeronautique" - The Villar-Perosa was a bitch of a gun to use and despite the Arditi liking it alot, they too realized the limitations that with two guns stuck together, they burn thru ammo quicker and with that, they now have to carry even more ammo which defeats their purpose. Not only that, there's no effective way of aiming it which, again, defeats the purpose of a gun so they decided to ask around and see what company has a solution and two companies came up with effectively the same solution, adding stock to the gun but this time, splitting the Villar-Perosa into two guns instead of one and that spawned the OVP and the legendary Beretta M1918 which was also used in the mission. The OVP would see limited use whereas the Beretta saw more usage by the Arditi and they loved it alot. The M1918 would go on to serve the Italian military as late as the fall of Italy in 1945.

[@clutch44444]

Wangan Midnight and WW1 enjoyer, absolute chad

[@BHuang92]

Winston Churchill famously used a Mauser C96 as his own personal sidearm which he really liked it! The Villar Perosa depicted in BF1 was entirely fictionalized based from inaccurate depictions in movies. The real one had a bipod and spade grips instead of a pistol grip and front grip.

[@Jonas-jq9qo]

BF 1 is such a gem, what a shame that they dropped the ball so hard with BF V. I really wished for a WWII game that captured the athmosphere and stories of the war as great as BF 1 did.

[@taistelusammakko5088]

Bf1 always sucked, it wasnt immersive at all. Its just as inaccurate as bfv but its a fan favorite so people ignore the horrible depiction of ww1

[@NotBavarian]

​@@taistelusammakko5088 First off being immersive and being accurate are two different things. Second off the game was aiming to capture the feeling of WW1, which in the story modes it did quite well, rather than retelling the story of the history books outright. Complaining that a video game, a non academic source, took liberties to be more fun as a video game isn't highly accurate to the actual WW1 feels like an exercise born of spite more than anything else.

Funny that KZbin should recommend this to me today. I was looking through my great grandfather’s old stuff on the weekend and found a map that he had done of northern France in October 1918 (he has a note saying it was the last of the war). It’s an ordinance survey around Licques and Colembert (and surrounding areas). It shows trenches, gun emplacements, aa equipment, destroyed houses etc. it’s a fascinating piece of history and I hope to convince my mum to let me donate it to a museum/war memorial as it shouldn’t be left to rot in an old suitcase.

23:04 These are Caproni Ca.5s.

[@trinova9581]

5:00 The protrusions are the Grouser Spud that was affixed to every fourth or sixth track link. You can see them sometimes in old photos. The size is slightly exaggerated, but it basically just exists to give the tracks some extra traction and also slightly decrease ground pressure. Very useful in muddy conditions.

5:00 The track extensions on the Mark V tank are called "spuds," and were used as a way to increase the tread width for better grip in muddy conditions. They were implemented on Mark II's and III's, but phased out from IV's and V's, as they had little impact on performance. Their inclusion on Big Bess is likely just a design choice. Fun fact: the Germans made their own version in WW2 called Ostketten (East Tracks) to tackle the Spring muds on the Eastern Front.

[@TheRealNeonwarrior]

I like to think during the Avanti Savoia campaign that the narrator is again an unreliable one. The story is again told in past tense by a narrator whom you play as, though this time to his daughter rather than to the player. There's a part that stuck with me, one where his daughter expresses that she is worried simply hearing the story for the danger he had to face, to which he responds with something like "Don't worry! I was in a... a full suit of armor." Since you're playing as him while he narrates the story, it seems to imply that the crazy high HP your main character has simply by wearing that metal armor suit is not only a gameplay contrivance but also a narrative tool used to demonstrate the character's intent to "soften" the story for his daughter and not to frighten her. There's also the other exaggerations like the section where he somehow singlehandedly takes down like a dozen planes, survives a direct explosion, and wields a massive machine gun that he fires fully standing and mows down dozens of enemies. In other words, we play the embellished version of historical events that the character invented to make the story easier to tell to his daughter.

[@fallout0624]

Every one fits into the unreliable narrator every one of them is a story, the exceptions being Through the Mud and Blood and Storms of Steel those two are flashbacks or nightmares, which keeps the unreliable narrator aspect but makes it so it's not intentionally being changed.

11:35 I always thought that the reason they chose to use the Mauser was because compared to a Revolver, It in video game terms, Feels Weaker. There was an event in a WW2 Video-Game once where despite different Animations, Sounds and Appearances all of the gear between Allies and Axis, The two were identical stats wise, But the sheer BEEF of the allied gear made their players so much more confident, It scewed things in their favour. So giving us a "PewPew" Mauser that, while in real life was equally as lethal, But in game terms isnt the "BANG!!! BANG!!!" Of a big-heck off Revolver, It probably to help us feel more out of our Element, smaller gun, less noise, Much more like a freshly recruited driver stumbling through the fog and woods trying not to get shot, Instead of badass action-man hero.

And the attackers can just come at them in waves or be sneaky and flank or something like that. I feel like this would be so cool especially if your the last on your team defending and you have to make a last stand that would be so cool. Gajin could do this for alot of maps and reuse the currents ones i was thinking something like urban maps. Id love to see something like this. AND NO CAS. Also side note id love to see more realistic voice lines and reactions to getting hit or if theres a tank in front of you the crew sounds panicked and scream and shout in fear or something and react to being hit like "NO THE GUNNER BEEN KILLED" idk i just feel like that would be so cool and be a breath of fresh air and make the game feel so much more immersive and realistic

[@justwatch7091]

[@saltedhorsemeat4843]

Just as a heads up, you said you believe Avanti Savoia took place during the Battle of Vittorio Veneto, and it's true, the multiplayer mode Operations directly clarifies as such in Iron Walls campaign and goes over what might've happened if the Austro Hungarians won if that team wins It's a small thing but i like the speculative history that Operations did, some of it was appropriately pointless like clarifying that even if the Meuse Argonne Offensive failed Germanys defeat was still assured by that point eventually, or how the Russian civil war would've stopped in its tracks if the battle over Tsaritsyn had the Reds fail, but I always did wonder if there any other counterparts to be made as to what would've happened in Germany really did succeed with the German Spring Offensive or if the Gallipoli campaign went according to plan, i'm no history buff so I can't fathom much speculation on the subject

Lesser known fact that even germany has not wanted to admit at the time, Woman in the German army were in the military in the trenches as medical staff. A "nomads land medic" Was a sub part when the time was needed. Their job was to grab wounded from nomads land during a battlefield attack or more commonly just after a attack of both sides during rest time. I know this becuse my great great grandmother was alive and was in the german army on the western front from 1914 to 1918 in the red cross. She be in the hospitals during the Spanish influenza virus from 1918-1923. She was stationed near the village of Longueval, then later between combles and grinchy. Those were the times of the war she was in the front lines in combat. Sence you know history, maybe you can place this Time line?

is the multiplayer in this game still running or is it overran with bots

The history in all the missions is poor. But the Gallipoli one is just insultingly bad. Giving Helles to the ANZACs when they were nowhere near it. Helles also looks nothing like it does in the game. The geography is almost completely made up. I've been there and walked the ground. Still puzzling over where these mountain ranges came from
