Is this a historically accurate WW1 scenario?
>>
Is it trying to be realistic? I got the impression from the trailer that it was going with a sort of "WWI on crack" schtick.
>>
>>1278284
Not sure, they are not giving the impression atleast

>Is it trying to be realistic?
It's a video game, senpai.

I mean, I'm pretty sure aeroplanes and cavalry operated in the same campaigns, so it's not unfeasible to think that something like this COULD'VE happened.

Whether it actually DID or not I don't know.
>>
>>1278273
given those are Italian planes shooting at Entente troops (doesn't look like any Central Powers kit) I don't think so
unless it's supposed to be blue on blue
>>
>>1278341
Could be Ottoman troops

>Entente planes firing on Entente soldiers

Probably not

Although >>1278345 could also be true, the gun is probably some variant of a Martini-Henry carbine

well strictly speaking infantry tactics for most of the war are the ones used throughout the rest of the century, allowing for obvious proliferation of automatic weaponry

FUCKING ANGLOS

FRANCE CARRIED THE WAR FOR THREE YEARS

>>1278505
Not letting your men go and die for a pointless war in the Middle east turned you into surrender monkeys forever.

>Italy makes it into release
>France doesn't
STOP HE'S ALREADY DEAD

>>1278341
The Italians were absolute shit, and there were Entente Troops operating in this theater.

So this could be a friendly fire instance.

They were absolutely pitiful in 1914, could've been done without in 1915, and only started playing a vital offensive part in 1916, the same year that the French army at Verdun literally saved the entire front.
>>
>>1278601
certainly the british were absolutely key in the victory but to somehow diminish the role of france, the single biggest allied combatant in whose very country the key engagements of the entire war were fought, is beyond bizarre
>>
>>1278601
You're right that France didn't carry the war alone, and that the British took up a significantly greater role in the hundred day's offensive, France was the only thing that kept the Western Front from collapsing. If France had failed at Verdun or the Marne, there wouldn't be anything for the British to bail out.

For example, the Somme Offensive (a case of the British protecting the French) was a secondary operation conceived for the sole purpose of keeping the French line at Verdun from collapsing. Ultimately, it was the British blockade that forced the Germans first to call off the Spring Offensive and then into Armistice; but if the French hadn't held on before that, the Royal Navy would never have had the chance to do so.

>>1278635
I'm in no way shape or form diminishing the role of the french... but come on, the guys almost had a communist revolution in their ranks because their high command was so incompetent that they bombarded their own trenches... the brits saved them at one point because the french army was collapsing... also, saying like that frenchie did that the brits were absolutely pitiful in 14 and could've been done without in 15 is even more bizarre... without the brits holding out in the western corner of belgium, the french would've been caught with their pants on their knees...
