    **The Frosty 1 is back!** My highest of thanks for everyone's support and patience throughout the past few months. Ye have truly been amazing! Corrections: - 3:37 This is actually an Antonov AN 22, however the game still refers to it as a C-130 and we even see the US using it later as a gunship in Cuba, so it's still inaccurate. - 8:09 The Viet Cong were supplied with WW2 weapons from the Soviets during WW2, however I was not able to find any evidence of the MG 42 in particular being used in Vietnam so it still could technically be an inaccuracy but just not as severely inaccurate as I made it out to be in the video. - 15:00 Although it was formally replaced by the AK 74 in 1977, the AKM was still largely used by Soviet forces in the 1980s. If you have any more inaccuracies, facts or corrections to add then please do leave them in the comments. Thank you!

    The plane in turkey is absolutely nothing like a c130, I should know because I work on them. What they probably were going for was most likely an An-22 or An-225. The An-225 is the most likely but both size and number of engines would be incorrect.

    8:13 An MG-42 being used by the Vietcong is actually extremely accurate and there is a lot of research and photos that back this up. A lot of old East German and soviet captured surplus were given to the NLF as war support. You’ll often see MP-40s being used by VC elements as well. You prolly won’t read this so I guess it doesn’t matter but yea.

    Yeah, when most people who think of the Vietnam war, they think of VC with AK47s, RPGs and Dragunovs, when really the vast majority of VC equipment was MP-40s, K98Ks, Maxim MGs and Mosin Nagants and PPSH-41s. Even old French weapons like the MAT-49 and MAS-49s from when they kicked the French out, sure they did have some fairly modern Russian weaponry, but it was mostly old surplus or captured enemy weaponry from years prior, I'm glad other people know about this fact instead of thinking like the rest

    And French used MG42, 34 against Viet Minh in first Indochina War 1946-1954. Actually the MG34 more common in Viet Minh later Vietcong due to the Communist China give us. Why PRC give us MG34 and some German weapons? Because in the mid 1930’s the Nationalist of China was co-operate with German Nazi (or co-op with Mauser and Zündapp) for weapons and uniforms so they produce Zhongzheng/Jiang Jieshi Rifle, C96 and buy alot of mg34 and MG42, so after PCR take over in 1949 they gave us some of them included mp40... Also the Japanese after leaving Vietnam left alot of German firearms and their ripped off.

    For the inaccuracy at 11:38, I believe it's meant to be hinting that Bell can understand Russian even if you didn't select Ex-KGB as their backstory, foreshadowing the big twist of the game. As for why WW3 didn't break out after the firefight at the KGB headquarters (and any of the other things that should spark WW3), idk maybe because Perseus (the group) went rogue, the KGB couldn't be sure who did it? I'm probably putting more thought into that one than the devs did.

    If I had to guess, the guy(s) who wrote the story probably envisioned it as a mandatory stealth segment, where the first half is carefully maintaining the agent's cover, and the second half a something with more focus on stealth where it would be theoretically possible to get out without a major alarm. Then the gameplay guys took that, said "OK," and made a mandatory gunfight right after the pointless elevator scene because it would be more fun.

    The reason why is for game balance. 20 bullets in a mag felt too short for people to enjoy. You have reload every so often. I do agree but only for certain guns I wish had a 30 round mag instead 20 like the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle). Since this is a game, I prefer weapons to have 30 round mag as standard. It’s the feeling. Even if I were a real soldier, I hate reloading frequently due to low ammo capacity per mag. I only got 1 life. In a video game, you’d die often due to the amount of times you’ve to reload when using a 20 round mag gun. Realistically, most ARs are used semi-auto. Not full auto for many realistic reasons. Sad to see many gamers think full auto is standard for military when it’s not from a realistic standpoint. This happened to Day of Infamy (Steam Game). When you play as US, I noticed the Thompson originally had the 20 round mag but many players complained so the devs changed it to a 30 round mag as standard in-game.

They also had, as you said, body armor. From the looks of it, they were soft armor vests, although stronger armors were probably available. I also think it's a bit interesting that such armor was so common in the unit, as most armor prior to the 90's or so was bulky flak vests with the occasional metal insert, not the relatively low-profile aramid vests as they had.

Imagine having some missions where Mason, Woods, or Adler were doing a secret operations during South African Border War, Mozambican Civil War, Nicaraguan Revolution, Invasion of Grenada, The Troubles, Eritrean War of Independence, Iran-Iraq War, or Lebanese Civil War. Even better, the CIA were ACTUALLY involved in some of those wars in real life! Making the slogan "Know Your History" at 28:05 more misleading and it's a big missed opportunity from Treyarch. Also by looking at insane amounts of inaccuracies in the video, it's a proof that portrayal of Cold War here was too exaggerated, fictionalized and stereotypical. They didn't even try to make the storyline as dark as BO1, and every random crap they put in both campaign & warzone has nothing to do with real events.

    8:07 There were no mention of the vietcongs using MG42s. However among the many WW2 weapons used by the Vietcongs (MP40, PPSH, STG44 etc) the MG34 was one of them. During the Indochina War, the French Foreign Legion had brought a number of ex-Wehrmacht MG-34s into Vietnam, and some of the communist examples could have been leftovers from that conflict.

    Great video so far, I haven't watched it all the way through yet. A somewhat OK explanation as to why some of the parts after you take control of "Bell" is that Alder doesn't need to remember every detail correctly, just the parts that get him the information he needs. So place names and anachronistic items can, maybe be explained. Plus, spoiler alert, bell never took part in any of the events Adler has them recall. Bell is a partner of Perseus. They are put in situations as a vehicle to remember details about where Perseus is. That or laziness. Although from what I've read up on the pps 42, the dp28 machine gun, the chicom type 50 submachine gun, which is essentially the pps42 as well as other weapons were all used in the war. From my research "MG 42, Captured by the Soviets during ww2 and provided to the VPA and the NLF as military aid" again I like the video so this isn't supposed to be an "er well actually"

The closest thing I could find were a few scarce MG-34s.

However, assuming the aircraft were also launched from carriers, then it would've been more accurate for it to be an A-6E, A-7E, or F-14A, as by the 1980s, the Navy had begun replacing the F-4 with other aircraft.

    Highly doubtful. Some M1911, available in the soviet warehouses of the mobilization reserve, quite possibly fell into the hands of the People's Militia in the fall of 1941, but after the end of the war, all foreign weapons, both previously taken from the warehouses and captured, went back to the warehouses or went abroad as military aid. So this particular soldier had nowhere to take the M1911 and was supposed to be armed with a PM. I think this is just a developer error.
