We Fixed Battlefield 1's Historical Inaccuracies (Part 1: Single-player)

[@jayfuzz1086]

Hello everyone! This is Jay, author of the 1916 and 1914 mod projects, and co-creator of Battlefield 1918. Firstly want to say that I hope you enjoyed the video and all our hard-work, and to encourage everyone to watch the previous, full BF1 Inaccuracies video on Frosty's channel! Next, wanted to a compile a list to all the mods listed in this video, as well some of the others briefly mentioned, as follows (Links had to be removed due to KZbin censorship, please search for these on BF1 Nexus or check the links in the video description): 1916 - Enhanced Singleplayer (SP Cosmetics) Simple Campaign Weapon Change Realistic Item Names Historically Faithful Iron Sights 1916 - Enhanced Multiplayer (MP Cosmetics) Battlefield 1914 (MP Cosmetics) Battlefield 1918 (MP Cosmetics) ~~~ I would like to give a huge thanks to Frosty for having me be part of the team, and for showcasing these projects. It means a lot to me, and I'm sure it means a lot to all the other modders as well, especially in the face of our work being lost to EAC. If I may give some credit, I'll start with PotatoChip_28, HauptmannHK, Trek and Madicode, the original creators of the first BF1 mod, the BF1 Character Rework, which was used as a starting-off point for pretty much every cosmetics mod available, including my own. Despite my projects, and others, having spiraled massively, with tons of their own unique additions and creations, it's still good to pay credit to those who came before and started it all! Not to mention they're still around, and very helpful. The next group would be the BF1+V Modding Discord Server, and the r/BattlefieldCosmetics subreddit, both of which have provided lots of entertainment, insight, and suggestions over the years. In particular I'd like to thank American_Hero454 (Owner of the Modding Server, and main author of BF1918) as well as R4noo7076. A lot of BF1 and V modding wouldn't have been possible without these two fostering a great community around these games. ~~~ In any case, hope you all enjoyed, and enjoy the projects, and thank you! Cheers. P.S: I go by HarlowLovesGaming on Nexus, if that clears up any confusion there lol. ~~~ Edits/Corrections: 1. It has come to my attention that the Arditi insignia I have used may be a post-war/WWII era Italian gorget patch. Just to be safe, I will update my projects in future to have a star on the Arditi collars instead of the Sword+Wreath combo.

2:06 Actually , the M1903 Springfield Mk.I was kind of rare for even normal U.S. troops to wield , most of them carrying the M1917 Enfield .And the Harlem Hellfighters would have used Berthier Carbines and Rifles and possibly Lebels .

[@TheFrosty_1]

You are right about the M1917 Enfield being more common. They were most likely not added instead however, due to animations problems, the models in game were pretty much designed to fire certain weapons and would completely glitch out if given certain ones sometimes. The M1903 is still certainly a better choice than the 1907 rifles they have in the base game though, and was likely the best work around for the games modding limitations . As for the Lebel and other such weapons for the Hellfighters, that is also true and as stating in the video the Model 1886 and Chauchat were attempted to be added but couldn't again due to the animations bugging out.

[@blaznaesthetics7231]

I don't know if this was also an animation problem or not, but the 369th not only wore the adrian but also used the actual French webbing that was supplied to them when they went to the French. The only African-American regiments that were not issued French equipment were the units under the 92nd Division who weren't given to the French compared to the 93rd Division which were.

@@Voucher765 I'd say it was more 55-45 with M1917s and M1903s. There's nothing wrong with M1903s being depicted but it would be nice to see more M1917s. In addition, the 27th ID even used SMLEs which would have been cool to see in some capacity, but that's just getting picky.

@@TheFrosty_1 another thing I would say is that the german m1907 uniforms were not immediately phased out by the m15 uniforms, they were still in widespread use especially by stormtrooper units as said units were mostly made up of experienced veterans by war's end. The austrian hechtgrau uniform was however phased out by late 1916/early 1917 and replaced with the less bright feldgrau. The differently coloured regimental strip collar tabs were replaced by a single small vertical red stripe with the six pointed star insignia next to it, for better camouflage. A suggestion I would make is possibly add a few villar perosas to the austrian side since bizarrely the model in the game is actually an austrian sturmpistole, which were austrian copies of the villar perosa chambered in a steyr cartridge, hence the straight magazines. Don't get me wrong, you've made a really cool video but these are just a couple of suggestions :)

The Austro-Hungarian uniforms should actually be dark grey, not Hectgrau, as that was phased out in 1917.

[@jayfuzz1086]

Hello, mod creator here! I actually thought about doing this, but I kept the Hechtgrau simply because I prefer it lol. It's not really mentioned in the video, but my 1916 series of mods aren't really supposed to be 100% accurate, it's more like trying to make a more immersive/authentic version of Dice's original vision. Still exaggerated and "cool" in some areas, but in a way that's a little more faithful to history. Cheers!

[@TheNinjaCoby]

I actually wanted to say that, whilst I agree to an extent that Dice likes to stylise and portray things with a level of exaggeration, my main goal with my cosmetics mods has always been to remain the exaggerated tone and portrayal, but in a way that's a bit more authentic, if that makes sense. I've still cheated in some ways, or have things that I haven't gotten round to yet, but I do think there is a mix of authenticity and "rule of cool" that can be reached in a game like this in a way that's still immersive and faithful whilst being more "fun", for lack of a better word.

[@ryannelson5691]

So some problems with the properly modded Austro-Hungarian soldiers is the fact that Hechtgrau was phased out pretty early in 1915, and replaced with Feldgrau. Also, given that BF1 decided to recreate a place that I actually do guided tours at but then called it "Monte Grappa", is a bit if a travesty to the original battles in the Falzarego pass, Lagazuoi, and Hexenstein mountains, and the site of some of the bloodiest battles in the entire Dolomite sector at the Col di Lana which the Hexenstein/Sass di Stria mountain covered, along with holding the Italians in the Falzarego pass. These battles lasted from summer of 1915 to Nov1917 when the Italians lost at Caporetto/Kobarid/Karfreit. I'm not sure why Dice decided to literally recreate the area, and then completely fabricate the area's history and fort tre-sassi, when they had a brilliant opportunity to showcase the real battles and history that took place there. With the fort being abandoned immediately in the summer of 1915 when an Italian shell broke through and showed the small forts obsolescence. With that said most of the uniforms worn by AH troops in that sector would vary depending on the year and units stationed there, however the bulk of the forces from fall 1915 to fall 1917 would be Kaiserjäger wearing feldgrau and having the Jäger dark green collar paroli and artillerymen of Festungsartillerie-Bataillon Nr. I 'Trient' also wearing feldgrau but with red collar paroli within the Lagazuoi, Hexenstein, and Col di Lana, while the light blue-Grey Hechtgrau uniforms would have been worn by the earlier units of the Standschützen, Landsturm, and March battalions defending the area in summer 1915. Also, at no point would you see any Stahlhelms being worn in that sector throughout the entire war, as they would all be wearing the typical Feldkapp, and it's extremely rare to ever see a mix of soldiers wearing Hechtgrau and also a stahlhelm. With that out of the way, do not take my corrections as a criticism of the mods and reworks, because I still absolutely appreciate the time and effort to whomever fixed the Austro-Hungarians to actually look like Austro-Hungarians. They look lightyears better than the nonsense dice made, and the web gear is as correct as you can make it, given the limitations of the BF1 game. Edit: Just saw your other BF1 video covering this map and you pretty much covered everything I've mentioned here 😅😂

[@jayfuzz1086]

Hellooooo! I'm Jay, I worked on the cosmetics overhaul mod showcased above, really glad you like our work! Just wanted to say I was STRUGGLING to research Austro-Hungarian uniforms and equipment, especially when it came to specific years and locales, when initially building my projects. Their equipment isn't as well-documented as other nations from what I can tell (That and I live in a country where that sort of stuff isn't exactly prevalent). My cosmetics mods aren't really aimed at 100% accuracy, more just showcasing equipment that I find interesting in ways that are moreauthentic and believable than Dice's original depictions, which is why I decided on hechtgrau with steel-helmets for the Austro-Hungarians in the end (Especially in the MP mod where they have correct uniform models with stand-collars and proper M95 pouches, etc), but I may consider updating their Singleplayer appearances to more accurately reflect the units of the region in future if you'd be willing to help provide reference for that at all? Thanks again for the kind words, and the interest, super cool that you do tours in those areas, I'd love to see some photos sometime! Cheers!

The Jackboots, or marching boots as they were called at the time, were used though lowboots were also used especially with the leather shortage late war.

[@jayfuzz1086]

Hi there, thanks for the comment! I'm Jay, I made the 1916 mod. I actually would have loved to have a mix of jackboots and puttees, as well as a few 1907s throughout the campaign, but as he says throughout the video, it's unfortunately not possible due to technical limitations of the Singleplayer Campaign. In the 1916 Multiplayer Mod, the way I have the Germans setup currently shows them with 1907 tunics and M15 greatcoats, with all of them using 1866 jackboots except the Assault, who utilises puttees and leather reinforced trousers, but I have considered giving the Assault an M15 tunic in the future. Just not sure if it's worth the effort, the increased file-size, plus I love the 1907 drip haha. Cheers!

[@jayfuzz1086]

Hello! I can't answer your comment about devs reaching out, but regarding EAC, it's less about them targeting these mods, and more of how EAC works basically blanket disabling anything that alters the game, cosmetic or otherwise. If you launch a modded instance of the game with EAC, afaik, it doesn't ban you, but simply fails to connect to any servers. Because the modding software used for these mods isn't invasive and is a simple injection, it's a lot easier for EAC to detect and block it, or something like that.

i think bf1 is still a master class example of how you can get away with historical inaccuracy by remaining authentic in terms of tone and presentation

Respect for posting this 5 in the mourning

I’m sorry to say, but the Harlem Hellfighters didn’t use American equipment as depicted, that’s horribly inaccurate and in effect propaganda post-war. The Harlem Hellfighters used primarily French weapons and equipment with some small British stock, but they used almost no American equipment (including helmets and webbing) at all! They were technically a loan to the French military after all, and were under French command, not American. What you depicted is how they would’ve been equipped immediately post-war, on their parade tour, not during their service in WW1.

[@TheFrosty_1]

They have Adrian helmets in game and from out research they would have had worn both US and French webbing and Jay choose to give the US ones as choosing both was not possible with the games modding limitations. As for their weaponry, as stated in the video, the label rifle and Chauchat would have been preferable and were attempted to be added but couldn't due to animation problems. So the next best thing we could add with the games already existent weapon models was to give them Springfields and BARs, both of which would have been more common than the ridiculously rare 1907 rifles and although still used but rare by the very late WW1 setting M1909.

Good job though keep it up frosty

[@TheBigshot19]

10:11 and 10:45 soldiers are using rifles left handed, I've never noticed those animations before. I'm surprised the animation for cycling the bolt on the Italians rifle isnt more glitchy considering thats a multiplayer dlc weapon. Awesome mod, and easily my favorite video from Frosty because I always attempted to create loadouts and outfits in BF1 and BFV that were as close to accurate as possible in multiplayer depending on the faction

Despite the howdah being outdated, they did see some use by officers in the Middle East and other regions.

[@TheFrosty_1]

True but only 712 of Lancaster Howdah pistols were ever made so they were still certainly rare and would of course be outdated by the late WW1 setting we find them in game

[@DeliciousTofu]

When the game first released, I don't think the Carcano or Vetterli were in the game yet, and even if they were there was no animation for a carbine bolt-action(and in the video you can see the animation for the Vetterli is broken a bit.) Regardless it's still bad

[@lefunnyN1]

@@DeliciousTofu i know they added carcanos later in a dlc but they could have just give them mauser 98s, it would be inaccurate but at least it was a common rifle back then, that winchester was a very odd rifle even during ww1 it was the only military lever action ever used in service

[@luismedina5792]

At this point modders should come together and make their own historical games

It’s sad how we can only have authentic history in video games by using forbidden MOD, I wonder what these developers were thinking when they put all the fancy nonexistent stuff on the models

@@RTAZalvaro Imo the realism and quality of the game is what makes people like BF1, since BF5 is more “fun” but people didn’t like it as much

[@paradoxicaloutcome1007]

@@leonsong3284 There's a certain amount of "rule of cool" additions you can make to a game based on history before people will find it too silly to be immersed. BF1 was at a perfect point where it exaggerated a lot but was just realistic enough to not cross the line for most people, making it really fun AND realistic enough. BF5 didn't just cross that line, it rocketed past it.

[@pyroshilov8474]

It's sad that technical limitations hinder the full potential of the mod but it's still magnificent to see faithful changes made to the game. Hopefully it's good note to the devs that it wasn't all brown and grey

[@silkkr0x]

Hey everyone, I'm the developer of the MARNE Mod for BF1. With the introduction of the EAAC Anti-Cheat protection for Battlefield 1, modding on Vanilla servers will unfortunately die out. I would really appreciate your support. After the EAAC update I will try to make MARNE compatible as quick as I can. Currently, the mod allows you to host your own servers (on your own hardware, under your control), which you can mod as you like. This means you can tweak the game to your preferences: remove or swap weapons, create custom classes, and more. Of course, you can also do crazy things, like we’ve done in the past with flying Dreadnoughts or game modes where only Cavalry was allowed. I’d love to see mods continue to thrive, and I hope we can make that happen together!

[@TheFrosty_1]

Massive thanks for your work, without these private servers the years of hard work from many Modders could have been completely destroyed

[@jimchilton1122]

A stellar job given the limitations of what's achievable in engine! Only two tiny things of note. First off! British troops did see 1902 SD uniforms in the Dardanelles, these were issued alongside the KD uniforms. For this specific battle scenario, P1903 webbing should be more common than P1908 . Khaki Drill and Tropical Dress were much more likely to be seen in the middle east, but 1902 SD still pops up here too (artillery and tank crews). Secondly, the Arditi collar tab should be a white 5 sided star - the version shown in the mod is found on post war fascist Italy black shirts.

[@TheFrosty_1]

Thank you for the kind words! To address the rest, the woollen uniforms were indeed used at Gallipoli as we mention in the full inaccuracies video. Due to how the mods work with the single player however, both woollen and khaki drill uniforms cannot be added, it was one or the other, so Jay Fuzz took the lesser of two evils and did what he thought would be cool to showcase something less commonly seen. For the 1908 webbing, looking at photos from Gallipoli shows a lot of them being worn. You can definitely see the earlier 1903 webbing in usage too, but to say which is more prevalent? Not certain, but we would assume the 1908 from the photographs at least. As for the Italian Insignia, I believe you are correct about the collar tabs being wrong, Jay plans to fix this in a later update and has addressed the error in his pinned comment

[@jimchilton1122]

@@TheFrosty_1 No worries! and yeah, for the uniforms, it's better to highlight the difference between the fronts in such an obvious way and it's a job well done. Specifically for this map, the River Clyde boat landing - P03 webbing was common as a many of the attacking troops had previously been on garrison duty and weren't fully battle prepared as they approached the landings. The P03 was ditched almost immediately once supplies allowed. The rest of the Dardanelles campaign in indeed primarily P08, with basically every pattern dotted in between (including P03 or the bandolier) and they can often be a real ragtag bunch in the historical photographs... forgoing small/large packs, haversacks, even bayonet frogs/e-tools.

While I understand the "iron sights are too big!", they are made that big for gameplay. I rather like being able to see and hit things in a shooter game.

[@TheFrosty_1]

That is true, the iron sights were changes by the devs for the gameplay. They still don't match with reality but it is all up to each individual on which mods they wish to use, they don't all have to be used at once of course.

[@RicardoBaptista33]

The boots that the Germans use are not anachronistic, they are the Prussian M1866 model, they were used throughout the war and still used by the Weimar troops, but yes, from 1915 onwards they fell into disuse, but about 20% of the German troops still used boots in 1918. Curiously, until 1916 most Austrian troops wore the 1895 model uniform and overcoat in blue, but complemented by the Kepí Hechtgrau M1908, the gray (not the Feldgrau, but a light gray that had been in use since the 19th century) or light blue color was given to the Hungarian troops, but these colors were not standardized in the Hungarian troops either, since the Hungarian uniforms tended to change from county to county, it was possible to see in 1915 Hungarian troops with 1877 brown uniforms with black rigid leather Kepí M66, a mess in this case.

[@TheFrosty_1]

Nope, the boots are definitely not the 1886 model. The stiching on them doesn't does not match with them. The trunk of the boot only has one seam down the back on the vanilla games boot, the 1866 had a seam down both sides, not the back. The base German games boots are definitely WW2 jackboots, not 1866. As for your point about the Austo Hungaraians, I am not sure what you are on even on about. We can very clearly see many photos of Austro Hungarian soldiers wearing 1908 or 1915 model uniforms throughout the war What even is a 1895 uniform? We couldn’t find any reference when researching it.

[@RicardoBaptista33]

@@TheFrosty_1 I saw better, in fact there is only one seam on the shaft of the jackboots in the game, however the sole, final format of the toe cap and the seam on the body of the foot (I don't know the terms in English, I'm translating directly from Portuguese) have a greater semilitity with the M1866, which seems to me that DICE made a hybrid or tried to model it more quickly.

[@berrythestrawberry1567]

This is unbelievably relieving

[@skylerbenoit1103]

😂 I’m thinking DICE was coping and seething at the inaccurate displays that we called out and tried to fix it. When technical limitations didn’t work, they conspired to enforce EAAC. In which, would be hilarious if that was the case.

I don't think they're coping and seething at it, or they even know about it in the first place. The BF1 cheating epidemic is a real thing.
