Can we appreciate the fact that most recent showings of Australian troops always put their leaders as shithead British officers, but BF1 shows Whitehall as a flawed officer, but ultimately good man, who respects his Australian troops. Most video games would've had him been like "I sent the men to the fort!" and nixed the "Only those who volunteered," line that makes him much more of a reasonable leader

[@dominicc3521]

To quote "The Act Man": "It made me interested in History (again)" And that's what matters to me.

[@writeflyer4941]

The real stand-out thing about BF1 even after all these years is the codex. By playing the game and completing challenges you get pages of information about the actual history that the game is based on, from the battles and tactics to the weapons. It is very cool to see how committed to history the team was even with the liberties taken for gameplay and aesthetic reasons. Also, fun fact: When they added Gallipoli-themed maps in a later DLC, they updated the British and Ottoman forces' uniforms on those maps to be more historically accurate.

[@hauptmannhk8805]

This. A lot of people forget about the codex and just focus on the prototype weapons to discredit the game, but it's one of the few games that reward your good gameplay with true historical knowledge. DICE knew they were taking huge liberties to make WW1 fit into the Battlefield formula but they still put effort into making it authentic and believeable. Not to mention it sparked interest into WW1 (and History as a whole) in the hearts of lots of people, perhaps far more than any historical shooter before it. It really is a fantastic game, too bad they didn't stay on this track with BFV.

So! Actually, the armor suit is historically accurate. And it could be surprisingly effective at times! Decent amount of shrapnel protection, and sometimes it even faired well against rifles. The Italians made use of it more with their Arditi units, but the Germans made some for machinegunners to use, specifically for shrapnel protection.

​@@AnimarchyHistory By the way! In the Gallipoli maps in the multiplayer that came with Turning Tides (Cape Helles and Achi Baba) the Ottomans do indeed have their khaki uniforms present. They also redid the facial textures as well to make them dirtier/have more stubble on the cheeks and jaw. Of course, this came out after the campaign, but it would've been cool if Dice had retroactively updated the models of these missions to reflect those uniforms. ANZAC troop uniforms are present in those maps as well, but instead of recording whole new voicelines for them they just repurposed the British voicelines from the base game.

CORRECTION: HMS Iron Duke is the model for the Dreadnought and she was based in Scapa Flow with Home Fleet at this time. But it is a historically accurate battleship that was in service with the Royal Navy at the time, in fact there were four of them. So, not impossible, plus, saves on assets given they only appear here and as a behemoth in Multiplayer. And its not "inaccurate" per se. Also, noted that in the last mission there was an aircraft I didn't see. That is a Bristol F2B "Bristol Fighter" or "Biff", would not exist yet. BUT, it is a magnificent aircraft.

[@kodiazero]

You should review call duty World War II

[@j.kearney484]

The only RN battleships present at Gallipoli were Queen Elizabeth, of the class that bears her name, and a cacophany of old pre-dreadnaught battleships. While none of the Iron Dukes themselves were present, I still like that they included the bombardment at all, and the fact that they used the behemoth model to save on resources is fair. The French actually had a significant naval commitment in Gallipoli aswell, but I understand that would be asking too much from any videogame

[@ryanbrewis6990]

I thought it was the ID, bit of a shame but understandable why they reused that asset for a cutscene lasting all of a few seconds.

[@LyonPercival]

Actually, when it comes to graphical assets like uniform, you must now be aware that they mostly did the "incorrect time" uniform because they wanted to use the most common one + the coolest one in the Multiplayer... instead of having the whole dozen maps MP content adjust to the couple of Singleplayer missions 🙂

[@JmAnYoShI]

This game gets a lot of hate due to the surface level inaccuracies, but if you look past them, it’s got a remarkable amount of history attached to it. The most fascinating one I found, was the Tanker story. There was a female Mk1 Tank crew during the battle of the Somme (HMLS 13A, We’re All In It!) that punched through German lines, got stuck in an impact crater, and had to send for help. They were stuck fighting off the Germans from inside the tank until the Black Watch showed up to help the survivors. How I actually found the original sources for my college paper five years ago, I have no idea, as the links from the forum I originally discovered the existence of this story no longer work… but I know the after action report exists in some book about WWI tanks, and it’s remarkably similar to what happens in the tanker mission. This game deserves more credit than it gets. No, it’s not really accurate, but it’s authentic, and respects the history despite the liberties it takes. It’s not trying to glorify the war, and it shows how brutal, and pointless the whole conflict was… rather than the historical comedy show that is vanguard.

[@Dayrahl]

Wouldn't Gallipoli be the most nationally and ethnically diverse front of the war, and possibly of all time? Literally a battle between the two most diverse empires on the planet at the time!

[@koehnmailand6821]

Potentially, although I’d say the western front probably had the most diversity towards the end of the war as many different ethnic people were fighting on it. Also the Balken front was ethnically diverser with Germans Austrians and Bulgarians fighting Serbs, Greeks, Italians, British (some ANZAC’s and other colonial troops), french, Romanian, and Russian troops

[@andrewright2346]

During WW1, Gallipoli was one of the more diverse fronts of the entire war. However, I assume that the Balkans Theatre would have been more ethnically diverse. Every faction of WW1, except the USA, fought in the Balkans campaign. Each faction, except Serbia, is an empire consisting of a wide array of ethnic groups. However, the most nationally & ethnically diverse fronts are to be found in WW2. The British Empire, consisting of subjects from a wide array of countries & backgrounds, fought in every front except the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front features a multitude of ethnicities within the Red Army ranging from ethnic Russians to Siberians to Tajiks. The Wehrmacht, despite being predominately German, consisted of over a million foreign volunteers from across the globe. The Normandy Invasions involved countries such as the British Empire, the US, France & their Empire, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands & Greece.

[@arivael]

So you mention that the Warships we see at 6:16-6:18 are correct but having had a look they look to be Iron Duke class ships and none of those were at Gallipoli, in fact the only 'super dreadnought' present at all was Queen Elizabeth along with some of the Battle Cruisers and none of them used a 5x2 centre line gun layout. Most of the Battleships present were the older pre-dreadnoughts that were considered obsolete and could be freed up from other duties to be assigned there. Which in turn lead to one of the main issues with the naval bombardment in that they couldn't elevate the guns high enough to properly bombard a good number of the defensive positions.

I have to say, the Runner is probably my favourite War Story, though it could be ties with BF5 The Last Tiger.

And as I delve deeper into them I start to find out that Australians have usually made a impact in them too. As a Brit, I look back and I really feel bad for how Australians were treated, I mean I think the whole area of Australia and New Zealand and etc. (Not really great with geography, so not sure what other countries are there), I just think you guys are pretty cool and interesting as a whole. Also, you guys seem to go almost everywhere, I recently found out that Australians were in Vietnam, obviously not as much as the US, but watching the film "Danger Close" really opened my eyes for what Australians have contributed to history. Been watching a few of your videos recently, including the Last Tiger one, and I like the content.

BF1 literally made me care for World History class back in high school. I'm actually glad too that during that time, BF1 was also coming out, and one of the projects I've done for WH was for Kaiserschlacht. BF1 gave me "some" background but did literal research on the event itself

yessss thanks bro i love bf1 and i love ur channel so naturally its a good video mate keep up the good work

I love BF1. It's not accurate, but it captures a sense of reverence for the source material that most AAA game publishers just don't have anymore. Helps that the game is actually fun too.

[@terminallumbago6465]

Like it was pointed out in the video, the game still took the time to educate you about the proper history behind the events (even if some cosmetic liberties were taken for gameplay purposes). That’s what Vanguard gets wrong. The small details could be more forgiven if the game actually showed respect for the true history it was portraying, or at least was up front about being an alternate history sort of thing.

[@gangautism]

even at 43:23 they use the correct Australian flag with the red background instead of blue, I love how much you can tell they cared making this game with tiny details like that.

[@ISAFMobius18]

i dont know what i found more entertaining, you finding all the historical relevance of the mission and enjoying the cutscenes, or you tearing apart Vanguard with a game that came out like 5 years prior lol. Either way, great reaction and breakdown. im glad you understand as a gamer osme things arent going to be 100% accurate, but at least DICE tried with this one. Still a great game.

[@LtAlex3945]

More of these breakdown/playthroughs of BF1 PLEASE. So good! I would love it if you would play the British Flying Corps war story in BF1. One of my favorites.

[@MidasMakeItRain]

The 1903 Experimental was a real thing. It was a modification for a Springfield called a Pedersen Device, basically you take the bolt out, drop in the device and it turns the springfield into a .30-18 Auto carbine. However, the inaccuracy part is in that it didn't exist at the time of this mission. It was designed in 1917 and didn't enter production until December 1918. And the cool part was you could very easily convert the rifle back to firing .30-06, which they did after the Pedersen lost out to the Garand in semiautomatic rifle trials. Nice to see cool things like that get a little bit of limelight.

[@arianwinanto6299]

Also would like to point out the detail in BF1 when you use the 1903 Experimental as your primary then equip the K Bullet or switching to .30-06 by pressing the fire mode key, it shows an animation of the player taking out the Pedersen Device, put in the regular 1903 bolt, and chamber the rifle/K bullet. Vice versa if you switch back to your primary

[@HeRRydeRR]

God I fucking love this game, True, Sometimes it may not be as accurate as it could be, And often it is quite bad in historical accuracy when you look at the details, BUT, Not Being Historically Accurate doesn't always mean a game can't be Fun or Authentic, And Unlike Vanguard, Battlefield 1 has Both of them, And does them REALLY well. Vanguard doesn't do any of them good, But Battlefield 1 manages to be Really Fun, And feel really Authentic at the same time, While also not always being historically accurate, As an example, the Hellriegel is in the game, A gun that there's only one or two Photos to prove it exists, Yet DICE was like "Fuck it, Here you have it, This is what we thought it would Feel like to shoot it!" And I love that, It is unrealistic, Sure, But unlike COD, the Fun and the Authenticity the game provides is enough to allow me to Suspend my Disbelief, Something in Wich Vanguard fails beyond words.

[@Fridgemasters]

although BF1 isn’t 100% accurate, what matters is that it’s grounded in its foundation and the immersion/atmosphere makes up for it. BFV, although fun, lacks atmosphere and a heaping ton of historical accuracy, but at least the immersion is delivered through the chaotic gameplay. vanguard literally didn’t give a single shit about any of that. just straight goofiness to the highest degree

[@Lady_Amelia-Eloise]

@@Fridgemasters I actually really like BFV and it’s good to see a ton of people are going back to it after 2042 Also I tend to classify BFV as alternate history ww2

[@LyonPercival]

@@Lady_Amelia-Eloise thats exactly how the devs thought about the BF games... BF1 and BFV devs said "this may not be ww1 exactly(and we know that) but here is what OUR version of a ww1 game would look like, see the gun that nobody used and you wouldnt be able to play in nay game? Here you go and play with it, have fun!"

[@NRC2077]

It's interesting that while in the campaign mission the Australian uniforms are really wrong, but in multiplayer their uniforms are far closer to being accurate.

[@soksocks]

Well, it's not necessarily wrong since he mentioned it's more late war uniforms. But not a problem, tbh since it still fits the time frame of WW1. Even if some uniforms don't fit their respective events

[@KermitTheGamer21]

The multiplayer maps for Gallipoli came out much later than the single-player and they put effort into making the uniforms accurate, but didn't go back and change it for the single-player.

8:50 it looks like a pedersen device. It was a pistol caliber semi auto conversion for the M1903.

As a person who lost his great great grandfather in gallipoli,i wish the best for everyone that died in gallipoli,respect to my aussie and New zealender brothers!

[@cherminatorDR]

Dude, 8:49 I think this is a Springfield 1903 with a Pedersen device! It really was a thing, but it was developed for the Spring 1919 offensive, that never came.

[@TakNuke]

The sight on smle is based on martin galilean sight. The lever action gun is Winchester m1895 mainly used by Russians. While the semi auto Springfield is m1903 with pedersen device firing .30-18 auto also known as 7.65x20 longue similar to .32 acp. The cup type grenade launcher is attached to Winchester model 1907 chambered in .351 wsl used by both France and Britain. The top magzine feed lmg used by the Turkish forces is madsen machine gun (m1925, 26, 35 and 1937 models) chambered in 7.92mm

[@stoob.5767]

Even with all the inaccuracies the game felt like WW1, its period correct in a way that doesnt really match others cause its also fun on top of being as accurate as possible. Many people will state issues with it and its multiplayer but nobody cant deny the kind of atmosphere the game created with its setting.

[@LyonPercival]

AND they speak the correct language! No germans speaking english in combat... no DO YOU SPEAK JAPANEEEESE bs

[@AL3NOD1]

One thing to note as well is in Multiplayer the Ottomans were in fact given their historically accurate uniform (Khaki) and featured mostly Historically accurate Anzacs on the Map Called Acchi Baba probably spelt that wrong, anyhow take a look!

Can confirm, Canadians may be known for being polite and all that jazz, but we're the last people you want to see assaulting/inside your bunker or town. It's the polite/quiet ones you've gotta watch out for.

I loved this game. I just wished they gave some more love into the campaign with a few more war stories. Like the Canadians at Vimy Ridge, or maybe the fighting in Serbia.

[@lovelylavenderr]

I love this mission, and the campaign for this game a lot. It may be as inaccurate *as* Vanguard at times, but it's definitely authentic, and incredibly respectful to their history. Instead of shoving forced, fake, 'woke' culture down your throat, they give you beautifully written summaries of historical events, and let you play as historical minorities without even telling you, such as the Harlem Hellfighters in the first prologue of the campaign, and the British and other European colonial troops in the multiplayer. Even the small details like the models of weapons, background noises of combat, NATIVE LANGUAGE SPEAKING, and even just the mud, blood and grime that smears your equipment when you move around just makes this game one of my favorite historical, casual FPS games to go in and have fun in.

9:01 That is a M1903 Springfield with a Pederson device attached. The idea was during an attack on an enemy trench a soldier could remove the bolt and replace it with the Pederson device, and now the rifle fires pistol ammunition semi-automatically. The war ended before any could be fielded, but it was a real thing.

[@zacharygregory1580]

Also that rifle you picked up was a 1903 Springfield equipped with the experimental Pedersen device that allowed it to fire semi-auto and could be fed mags of pistol ammo

Great video as always!! Even though I’m a typical American nut, my grandmother was Australian and I still have family in Brisbane and Melbourne. Also her father served in WW1, I need to try to get his military records. I was also curious what do you think about the 1981 film “Gallipoli?”

[@seanrichmond8012]

The semi automatic rifle at the beginning is a Springfield m1903 with a pederson device, a device that allowed the gun to fire semi auto instead of bolt action (by simply swapping the bolt for the device)

[@dennisnastasi2000]

At 9:03 that is the Pederson Device on the M1903 Springfield file. It was real and used, but obviously very anachronistic in 1915.

Fun fact about the Springfield rifle at the beginning. There was an experimental modification for the 1903(or the later variant) rifle called a Peterson device that made it a semi automatic rifle that was chambered in 9mm I believe.

[@connorjordanng8898]

You should do a historical breakdown of the BF1 war story "Avanti Savoia". It is my favorite war story because it is the only one I know so far that features the Italians. It is also a positive representation of the Italian Army in WWI because in this war story, you get to play as a volunteer in the Arditi, an elite shocker unit in the Italian Army during WW1. This war story also features the Austro-Hungarian Army along with some wrong but unique weapons.

That strange Springfield at the beginning was a 1903 with a Pedersen Device - a direct blowback conversion, mounted where the bolt used to be, that shoots .38 pistol ammo. It did exist, as most guns in BF1, but it's completely out of place in Galipoli - Yanks developed it in 1918, and it never entered service.

[@DR-JOHN-DEJAVU-1984]

This game was made 5 years ago and is doing astronomically better than some games taking historical settings that are horrendously incorrect that it can actually make you sick. This game shines through all the dirt as an older and more valuable gem.

Not gonna lie, As a Turk, once I played this game and especially this campaign, I got this fixation for Australians, especially Gallipoli. Rest in peace ANZACS.

[@Kaiserjaeger22]

the thing on that Springfield is called a Pedersen device it did exist it did convert the Springfield to a .30 caliber pistol cartridge and did allow it to fire in semi-auto. however, it didn't see production until 1918 and the war ended before they could be fielded, thusly production was soon cancelled.

[@BearWithAnUzi]

The thing on the Springfield 1903 the Pedersen device, basically you switch you bolt of the device which a small semi automatic .45ACP blow back receiver, allowing US troop to have a 30+ round semi auto rifle that work well in trench combat. They were designed but never saw combat in the war, at the time they were going to beused in the planned 1919 spring offensive, but as we know the war ended in the Winter of 1918
