This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
There were no women in WWI except for voluntary medical assets and civilian signals corps.

Brotip: Germany actually had the world's most progressive army with the introduction of the WH Helferin in the 1930's.
Radfems eat a dick. Hooray for the nazis.

The video mentioned women were in WW1 (duh) in Russia and America in the Navy.

But I suppose if they took one look at the game, and the wars and fights (front lines), they'd know they didn't send in women as first infantry. So they claimed the "authenticity" argument was on shaky ground.

But ya know, when was research ever important when supporting claims?

Okay, the Russian front did rely on swarm tactics and began scraping the bottom of the barrel in 1917, especially after Hungarian involvement in Transylvania and the horrible failed offenses of 1916.

The real "famous" examples of voluntary Russian female service weren't until WWII though, and even then they're not well known. Raskova's 588th Night Bomber Regiment of the Russian Air Force is probably the best known example and almost nobody actually knows of them.

it wouldnt hurt to add women into multiplayer just for the sake of customization. as long as the models are proportional when it comes to hitboxes and all that good stuff, i dont care.

Yeah it wouldn't, but also getting offended over it is just retarded.

I don't really think there's a right or wrong solution to this. It's kinda whatever.

The authenticity argument makes sense, though. I buy it.

It's just one of these, there's no right or wrong, as Verb said.


It wouldn't hurt to add them in, but its also silly to get angry at it

I don't see why it matters. It's an early 20th century game, female soldiers were very rare. I'm pretty sure the few that served in russia before russia pulled out had to dress up and act like men anyway.

65 million men served in WW1

5,000 or something like that women in the Russian army


I'm just way picky about shit when game devs try to make a realistic game, and this would stick out quite a lot to me.

I hope there's an option to turn off that female's voice that says "We lost Objective A" cause it sounds so out of place

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

He should be made white IMO.

The only place where Africans fought for the German Empire was in colonial Africa.

authenticity or not, another game where you control another boring, cliche group of gruff male soldiers sounds painfully bland to play

It's fucking WW1 dude. And I'd say the difference nationalities (and thus languages and uniforms) keep it from being generic gruff soldiers.

Its historically accurate. And facts are sexist and racist. Therefore BF1 is sexist.
