>no Playable French OR Russians

What the fuck Dice, are Americans too stupid or arrogant to play as the very people who had the biggest parts in WW1? Do they even teach that other people were in WW1 besides the Kaiser and America saving the day? Is having a black guy on the cover art for a WW1 game making it all okay to SJWs?

Do you speak it? I used to think the same but as I am learning French the more comprehensible a phrase sounds the less faggy it sounds, I used to think it sounded very ugly but now I can recognize how so many words are related to the same words in other romance languages or germanic languages or Latin with the main difference usually being how a couple vowels are pronounced or a consonant getting replaced with a vowel. And that the unuiqe sounds are so closely related to sounds we make all the time in english. It only sounds nicer to me as time goes on.

>WW1 is literally when the french proved they could hold the fucking line

So condescending. The French had nothing but stellar war records until the Franco Prussian war, which pretty signed the end of France's domination on the continent both in demographics but also has a military power.

The first months of WW1 were pretty much a one on one between France and the much better equiped and vastly more populated Germany and even toward the end of the war when Britain could line up just as many men, three quarters of the front line was held by France.


But yeah, I agree that's one whole new level of cucked BS Sweden pulled.

The Day of Infamy stand alone stream was announced yesterday, and apparently instead of adding whole nations like Italy for instance. It's going to be US/UK vs Germany in Italy, France and Belgium but they want to show diversity too and will add Black units too.

I'm starting to believe Europe is actually funding that crap, giving them tax cuts or something.

French surrendering is the biggest meme of it's day, only because of the gravity of the situation. That one surrender erased Waterloo, the Empire, The Kingdom, the Revolution, any French military victory, and it almost erased Charlemagne becauase

Enough to form their own units. Realistically the team should either be all white or all black because of the segregated nature of American forces. Racially integrated units isn't something we see until Vietnam.

Not for Germany or Australia in the western front, curious how they decided to not make the game about the Harlem Hellfighters, a black group of american soldiers who were shunned by the american army and had to join the french ranks. In fact, they want black people in the game? Add France, they had the Tirailleurs Sénégalais, all of them black and were deployed in Europe.
>>
>>341336328
WWII, probably. Russians often had female pilots and crewman in vehicles but infantry wise they were often snipers which operated in small units. Women are obviously smaller so were able to fit into better vantage positions and required less food to maintain themselves whilst away from supply lines so they made fantastic reconnaissance and sniping teams.

>>341336128

Especially when you consider,

France had multiple excuses to just storm the Rhineland and push their defences there long before the Germans could invade.

Although the French had some shortcomings regarding the lack of radio and modern airplanes, the German military wasn't nearly as good as people make it out to be.

The whole breakthrough at Sedan was sheer luck, they precisely attacked the point where France had its worst divisions while the bulk of the force was in Belgium with the Brits. Pure roll of dice on the German part, they might have been smashed there.

The French lines only broke open because of miss communitcation with command back at Paris and could have easily closed the gap cutting Rommels' force from the rest of the army.

So yes, humiliating defeat and a lot of deaths because of retard leaders. But the whole surrendering monkey meme, mostly goes with the post war bumpy relations between France and Nato.

They have 3 factions vs 3 factions. You can't not have americans and anglos, or otherwise no one would buy it. And they added Italians because they wanted mountains. It's all there is to it. Frenchies will be added in an eventual DLC.

Couple things here

1. People who actually matter who do their research will NOT use this game as there source of information
2. If someone really does care enough about WW1, they will actually go and do research beyond this game
3. WW1 in this game is simply just a setting, Battlefield has never been, nor will it ever be, a prime realitic game of it's setting... That's what Red Orchestra and Verdun is for


But I agree, it's stupid not to include France, which I'm more than positive they will in a future DLC (though still wrong)
>>
>>341341458

Germans went again to war because they actually thought they got cheated out of their victory during the Great War. They layed down their arms thinking they would get a good deal but their military was near collapse, their population starving and the Spanish Flu killing even more. If France would have been smart they wouldn't have stopped until they secured the whole Rhine, it might have prevented the Germans from blowing French coals mines in their way out as well.

The treaty of Versailles was just used as a propaganda tool by the Nazies. It was harsh but not any more than the conditions forced unpon the French after their capitulation in 1870. Furthermore unlike the French fifty years before, Germans did not pay what they owed France, actually they broke the terms as soon as they signed the treaty.

That whole Versailles created Nazi germany needs to die... There is a whole lot more to it.

It proves my pet hypothesis that this game was inspired by a graphic novel read by a cuck with no prior knowledge or interest in WWI, and was intended to be Battlefield: Harlem Hellfighters and was only walked back to be BF1 after pressure from some unknown entity within the corporate structure.

I'm so tired of this BS...

The treaty was humiliating for the Germans but only because somehow they believed they could have won the war and only did us a favor and thought the Entente would forgive them for the amount of death, suffering, destruction the Germans caused.

The whole mechanism for the war reparations they owed was on a pay what you can basis, and it wasn't ever enforced. So they didn't pay shit.

They weren't allowed to have a standing army anymore, just a glorified armed police. Big fucking deal. They broke that promise too.

They lost 10% of their land mass, big fucking deal. The regions they lost were barely populated by Germans, had no industry and no ressources. Except for Alsace Lorraine which were French to begin with, they got off easy as France really wanted the Rhineland if only to protect itself from a future invasion.

France was given control of some German coal mines for a time but only because the Germans didn't pull out of France without blowing up all the French mines in the area.

Compared to that in the Treaty of Frankfurt after the Franco Prussian war, which was a far less bloody conflict. France had to pay five billion francs within five years which they did, lost two of their wealthiest regions in the east 1,447,000 hectares of land, 1,597,000 inhabitants and 20% of its mining and steel potential.

The Treaty of Versailles was fucking nothing except in Hitler's twisted mind so shut the fuck up about it.

France and Germany didn't exist at the time so talking about Charlemagne as being related to those nations like this is retarded.
However, at his death, his empire was cut in 3, with the western part becoming Francia, and the eastern part becoming the core of the HRE.

So Charlemagne is important and related to the history of both countries but claiming a retarded right to call him german but not french... Jesus
