I agree with you about COD campaigns. I don't care what crazy 360 stuff they do on multiplayer, nut at least make the campaign "seem" realistic, story-wise, tactically, as well as thematically. I'm singleplayer guy on COD most of the time, and for sure people like me won't mind that, and multiplayer players possibly won't mind it making the campaign realistic since many of them don't finish or even touch the campaign.

When in reality they were more of a specialised weapon, and less than ten thousand were made. The gun _was_ used, but by no means was it the Japanese counterpart to, say, the German MP40 or the Soviet PPSh-41. The Japanese in general did (and still do) not use submachine guns.

Thus, the identification marks, black and white strips on wings, white stars on vehicles. Remember, radios are still not a piece of personal equipment. A squad lead would have a short-range, that goes to the platoon lead, who has a long-range, who goes to company command, who has to be hunched over a map somewhere figuring out where the hell his troops are. This setup would continue effectively until GPS guided warfare in the 1991 Gulf War. Being able to easily identify friend from foe quickly was absolutely pivotal.

@@romaboo6218 They cared more about that than what you think. When you're in a firefight, you don't really see the enemy clearly, because you take cover, and panic/adrenaline pumps into your body. The reliable way to identify an enemy is their gun fire. The development of XM117 even solidifies that, as the MACVSOG requested an AR 15 that has a different sound than an ordinary M16, this is due to the fact that they were illegally operating in Laos and Cambodia, and they don't want the Commies to easily identify that US Troops are in the said country. Now in rare, desperate occasion, will a soldier pick an enemy weapon? Yes. But as mentioned, it's on rare and desperate occasions, and they can go to jail for doing that. One example of this is a few GI pick up AKMs when their M16 broke in the middle of combat. But remember, these are the same time when US military don't wear proper uniform and vandalizes their helmets. It happened then, never happened again. So if a soldier don't fear friendly fire, they would at least fear jail time. Generation Kill depicted this accurately, when they were slightly freaked out by a nearby AKM fire, just to learn that it was one of their Captains that was using an enemy AK, and they were royally pissed off about it.

@@seanfernandolopez9139 It's not actually de-facto rules, as the military doesn't want you to use enemy equipment precisely because of that. However, it's not codified. Generation Kill, in fact, depicts it just as accurately as before- They get pissed off because some idiot's using an AK rather than a standard NATO weapon. (Un)Official policy is that you are permitted to use enemy weapons when required, mostly during firefights, but the second you get the chance to swap for anything NATO you use it. Even if it's a choice between an AKM or a M9, the military prefers you use the M9, but isn't willing to restrict it's soldiers in emergencies.

The M4A1's look so bizarre. It looks like they just took the standard Sherman and slapped a 76mm gun on it. Most pictures of M4A1's, or whatever those tanks are trying to be, have different turrets

I'm still miffed about Battlefield 5, as well, expecially the heavy water mission. Like... The SOE existed. They could have literally just went "This is the story of the SOE. This mission is fictional, but this is what the SOE did." And at that point? Creative freedom. Wanna blow up a bridge? SOE blew up bridges all the time. Mission goes south? Sure, one might not exist *right there*, but that's what the SOE did, and a suprisingly large proportion of women were in the SOE as soldiers, and many radio operators died. They could have told the story of the Auxilary Air Force (ATA), which had women ferrying aircraft to other locations. They could have had a story of Partisans, fighting against Nazi occupation. They could have told the story of a terrified wife/mother trying to protect her children and flee to safety. Instead of telling fictionalized, hollywood versions of real or semi-real stories, they just wrote fiction, and bad fiction at that.

Im not sure if you have heard of the Japanese that attempted to import a tiger tank via U-boat but it seems like the COD universe the Japanese had time to import weapons instead of a Tiger i.

And this is why I still go back to replay the COD 2 campaign, because it was actually good. And weirdly enough I remember the characters from the Old COD games than the newer ones. I definitely preferred the implied storytelling of the older games rather than the forced melancholy biopic nonsense we’ve been getting the past few years.

@Hanrry Oliveira but for "Call Of Duty: United Offensive" there is a mod called "United Fronts", that mod is nice, it has more weapons, history, campaigns

Furthermore, the US Army rarely sent individual sections in battle but used the platoon as the base of their tactics in world war 2. Of course I am no historian and tactics might have differed in the pacific theater but I do find it strange that a group of six guys who are not in any special forces outfit is stumbling through the forest.

Cant devs just hire a guy like this?? Im so mad that we are constantly getting unauthentic WW2 shooters. This is going too far.

The people telling everyone to “ relax” about the accuracy are the same people that will reference a video game pertaining to history. Right or wrong, most people just want to have fun and not work for any information. Spoon feed me my history my news my interest and my taste…. I’m just too busy overestimating my importance to worry about that shit.

I wanna commend you on the 93rd infantry. A lot of people don’t realize we helped in every war racism or not. And most weren’t forced. I have 2 people in my family one with scars to prove the war. It was hell from the stories.

He didn't show the bit that came before this, when the pilot was shot down. He actually opened his canopy to shoot at a Japanese Zero with his 1911. Ugh. This did occur in WW2... in Germany, in a Cessna scout aircraft, against another plane with no armaments. The pilot and copilot flew up beside it, opened the door, and took potshots with their handguns. One beaned the pilot and downed the plane.

20:53 You should be grateful that the Sherman didn't manage to score a hit on that plane, it would be f* up. =)) And I am glad that you pointed out this spec ops stereotipe that games nowadays are trying to imply on large scale. It is oversaturated and by no means realistic.

I'm a mix of peeved and confused at how recent WWII games involving the Pacific have been so adverse to depicting the Type 96 or it's improved version Type 99 LMG. BFV skipped it for the older Type 11 LMG and the more obscure Type 97 that was mostly mounted on tanks, and then this game just ridiculously uses the MG42 instead. I miss using the 99 in Red Orchestra 2...

Call of duty world at War had the type 99 and in some of the japanese bunkers during the campaign they have Captured Winchester M1897 trench guns the main weapons the japanese use in the campaign are historically accurate Type 100 and Aristaka with and without bayonet type 99 vanguard STG 44 Type 38 artisaka MG42 Type 11 and beckers shotgun.

The MG42 and the Becker shotgun were the highlights of this mission for me.

I like their modern finger discipline and weapons handling, a thing the US would develop only in the 80s and this guys were already there

1:00 it's a perfectly legitimate question. He clearly only knows basic requests or questions in english. It's extremely common for soldiers to pick up basic words or phrases of the enemy. For example: "Hands up" "surrender" "yes" and "no" or the the extremely obvious and probably most common "do you speak my language?" And that's about the only thing I can defend in the game...the rest of the game is completely absurd.

When I was doing this mission and I walked past the STG44, I had to backtrack a bit just to make sure I read it correctly

Thank you so much! Great work

I remembered the ad about how they studied and took inspiration from modern conflicts for this game and all I’m thinking about is “shouldn’t you be studying 1930s-1940s conflicts?”

As someone who’s becoming a gunsmith and is a gun nut seeing the guns and what you can do to them makes my soul die more than a criminal getting shot by a Fudd’s 45ACP

1:31 I am just one and a half minute in and I already love it! Subbed!

The amount of soft-core racism towards whites in this mission alone is a reason why I made the smart decision to refund this garbage game.

BFV was a history masterclass compared to this

Good video. Maybe a suggestion would be to increase the audio from the video. When a scene is played its hard to hear the dialog and see the subtitles. But still great video!

The Becker shotgun was also a Extremely Rare Weapon as only 100 of them were made.

We gotta make this guys channel blow up. It’s so interesting

I know they had a really good historical advisor onboard. The issue is that the game developers decided to go on what they thought was cool vs what was historical accurate. They are more to blame for how it all came out.

just imagine being a ww2 veteran and fighting for dear life wacthing your fellow troops die and have trauma and then see a game company making battles that you fought in with unrealistic stuff and not true events AND futeristic stuff AND yet again shitty writing and battle scenes

This is the history equivalent of feeding a experienced chef a microwaved meal

Great video as always. If you haven't already you should examine HBO's The Pacific and perhaps some campaign missions from Call of Duty WWII. I would be very interested in what you can analyze about those!

my personal theory is, they had a 8 man squad with a diffrent leader with washington as 2nd in command, but then a sniper killed their actuall leader in a night attack 90% of the way to the pilots.

BFV: "We are so innacurate, we made up an entire operation based on a real one!" CoD: "Let me step up!"

The brother of Howard in Vanguard is Howard from Call of Duty: WWII. You first meet him in "The Battle of The Bulge" mission. He is serving as a combat engineer in the 16th Regimental Combat Team of the 1ID or 1st Infantry Division after being transferred from an unknown unit.

"who wrote this shit?" Some of the most spiteful, hate filled people to ever exist made this game.

I hear Ya Legend... Sadly many AAA Titles don't care about Historical accuracy and its hard to believe but the Devs or script writers just quickly google and pick the first hit or a summary barely read it and smack their own interpretation for the story. Idiots will play these games and actually believe it! Then comes all the modern cultural stigma and social problems forced into a game set in WWII or WWI Female combatants or racial topics. If they want to involve Woman in a WWII game then get actual stories that happened. Lady Death the sniper, Female French ,polish, Russian resistance fighters/ Female spies of many nations the list goes on. I'm looking at you dice! History was brutal, misogynistic and racist, so depict it how it was and not some ferry tale version of it. I'm not going to start with authenticity with weopons or vehicles => Royal armories' Ferguson has a lot to say about that! damn as well as HistoryLegends. I needed to vent.

This shows how much they have fallen from World War 2 since WaW.

Your right about the m2 only being able to fire 7 to 8 seconds but it doesn't need to be refueld after that there is kind of a fuse charge at the front of the flamethrower that ignites which allows for the flamethrower to work and it needs to replaced after every use which could be done on the field.

The type 100 was a very rare weapon it was used only part time in the Japanese army before it was not used. So the fact that almost every Japanese soldier had one is very unrealistic. Also when you think about it you could see no Arisakas.

I now will change mind of wanting COD vanguard. I thought it was historically accurate and I could feel what it was like to be a soldier in WW2

I was bearing the many historical inaccuracies with the thoughts of "Surely, they cannot screw over the weapons.' Welp, guess I was wrong.

The Japanese soldiers looked SO clean too. Like they had a spa in the jungle, also the flamethrower doesn't even sear their uniforms, no burn effect!

I called it. I’ve given up on call of duty. The amount of times I’ve wasted my money for it to be completely illogical and unrealistically biased towards certain players, and not to mention take up all of my storage… too many to count.

i agree when you say that they should make large scale battles in campaigns it could be a reallly good to play through and it would be way more exciting

Tip of the iceberg of the vanguard historical inaccuracies

“Shut ‘chor mouth white boia” pure comedy gold lol

Well its more historicly accurate than star wars so I can't demand much

I like this Channel it's unbiased and *Historically accurate* just came after The Review on 7 days ( I guess 12 days sorry I forgot 😅.

6:00 odd that you didnt notice but they forgot to add the chambering of a fresh round to the Type 100

Also, the sherman at the end have the long barrel with the rounded turret... So they probably are sherman firefly, a British tank, in the Pacific

5:38 it’s more in line of rank more than race. Keep in mind, Wade (our playable character in this mission) is a US Navy pilot and officer, specifically a Lieutenant (which is the equivalent of a Captain in the other branches of the US military) while Sgt Washington is…well that, a Sergeant and of lower rank then Wade But knowing that Sgt Washington is more of a experience infantry soldier, Wade and Hernandez have to follow HIS orders since Washington is more experienced in ground combat
