On a side note, this is why having an officer is vital. Idrissa was right, and not because he was worried about his family. In the context of this game, they should absolutely have waited for some form of support. Any coordinated German counter-attack would have wiped them out. What started out as a company of soldiers whittled down to 3 men. That's a tremendous waste of life in the pursuit of glory. And in most circumstances, morale would have broken long before that.

Not necessarily, they would have orders given to them already and any officer or nco present would be trained to act within the boundary of those orders or there duty. That being said they were a light infantry unit and traditionally most of there duties would have been to scout the enemy, attack small or equal size units and relay the information about large units. The only reason not to engage any enemy is if they have sniper support or they are heavy infantry or cavalry as they would stream roller you.

My grandma’s uncles were all tirailleurs. None of em came back, some fell in “Bataille de la Marne” others in Verdun, and some of them just vanished. To this day we always feel like theres a huge gap in the family.

They weren't that many senegalese tirailleurs in WWII, that was in the Great War. In fact, the biggest french colonial troops were coming from Maghreb. Especially from Marocco and Algeria, and this is one of the reasons that will lead to a discontent or antifrench feeling in the region after the war ended, eventually leading to the war of Algeria, which was very unpopular, and discredited the army from popular opinion, it is believed to be the dirtiest war France ever fought in (the war was based on the escalation of violence, massacres were committed from both sides, and the algerian civilians suffered a lot. Many of the french soldiers came back from the war with the sentiment of being nothing but murderers, and it impacted a lot the France of 1960).

For what it's worth, I'm glad somebody tried to tell this story. Dice could have done the Normandy Landings for the thousandth time, but they explored some of the theaters untouched by Triple-A titles. Say what you will about Battlefield 5, but this was touching on some level.

The French colonial troops especially the one you play here actually fought very well. Especially along the border during the initial invasion. But when the Germans took prisoners especially SS units, the black soldiers of France were executed. The ones that got away continued to fight the rest of the war. I'd say it was a historically accurate war story.

The War Story about the Norwegian was definitely rewriting history though. That mission itself was an actual historical one (Operation Gunnerside), but in real life it was carried out by Norwegian commandos with help from the British. It would have been cool to play as the actual people who took part in the mission.

By 1940, the french army had switched to 7.5 french, and the lebels still in use were substantially modified to accept the new cartridge. The rifle became much smaller, with a pityful three shot capacity, and was issued to non-combatants. The african troops fighting in the french first army at the time depicted in the game would have carried a mix of M1 Garand, M1 Carbines and Mas 36. Occasionnaly you would find the odd Berthier or Lebel, but only on non essential staff, like cooks or artillery gunners.

This was my favorite War story in BFV, mainly because its the most action focused and its a more traditional "Soldier story" since its mainly about a group of soldiers overcoming their adversities rather than just one or two people. While I appreciate them giving some attention to the lesser known forces like the French Colonial troops, the way it portrays them being treated is simply incorrect. While I'm not saying they didn't face discrimination because they certainly did, during the war and post war, it makes out as if the French army treated it black soldiers like the U.S army did, which it didn't. The French army had used colonial troops for hundreds of years so they didn't have to "earn" the right to fight because they had been doing so for a long time and were not segregated from the white troops. I think a better story would have been to portray a unit of French soldiers, white and black, fighting to hold the German advance on Dunkirk and when the battle ends and they surrender, they stand tall knowing that they have done proud by themselves and their comrades, but as they are taken prisoner the white and black soldiers are separated with the white French soldiers being marched away into captivity and the black French soldiers marched away and executed. That would have presented a more stark picture of the attitudes of the time.

Im senegalese. I cried throughout this whole mission cuz they did such an amazing job paying homage to our country's fighters. To sit here and debate that a COLONIALIST country isnt racist.... i wont even address 😂. The voices were GREAT overall. They had zero accent when speaking in Wolof and it was authentic. One thing worth noting, our accent when speaking french as the current generation is very different from when our dads and grandfathers spoke french in the 1940s so i dont think comparing it to how africans sound now is a good idea. But anyways, this mission is by far my favorite war game mission. It overtook the beach of normandy scene in medal of honor lol

Having the German air force in this battle is highly unlikely They were nearly destroyed by American-British bombing of factories and air fields. By 1944 the German Air Force was basically wiped out so having them as a major fighter in the battle is inaccurate. They were either destroyed or in battle with allied fighter planes.

That's not totally true papa stalin. During 1944 and even 1945 Germany was producing A LOT of planes. They made underground factories which were more productive than the surface factories. It was truly impressive. The more factories the USAAF and the RAF destroyed, the more underground factories popped. What Germany was lacking by the end of the war was simply experienced pilots, like Japan. And of course the lack of petrol. So in 1944 the Luftwaffe was giving her last sigh but they could still fight.

Props to bfv, despite its flaws bringing this story to light. Criminally sidelined and overlooked part of the war.

I like the general tone. Howewer the whole thing looks like an american writer transferring his nation's racism issues to France. According to wikipedia, the american restrictions on the size of the free french army were the reason why DeGaulle disbanded the Tirallieurs (after the liberation of FRANCE, not Paris) and several conflicts arised around the very mundane fact that the french refused to pay them their wages (which were fairly owed to them, of course).

For once than a WWII game's story mode includes the French, I was hoping for something else. You know, the "unseen stories" that Dice kept talking about ? Cause as a french I can tell that the tirailleurs and the colonial troops are the ONLY thing we learn at school, we're literally having our brain stuffed with their stories and how they're out most decorated troops in the 40s. Would have been a real change to have the french troops from France, for once.
