@Trokey66Defend the multi-billion dollar corporation all ya want bud, they still sold the game incorrectly. The fact that these aspects existed in the era (women, prosthetics, and missions involving nations in conflict) doesn't mean that it is authentic.
Definition of authentic
1a: worthy of acceptance or belief as conforming to or based on fact
paints an authentic picture of our society
----There is nothing that makes me believe that two people can take out a Nazi heavy water plant, there is nothing to make me believe that prosthetic wearing women were on the battlefront wielding cricket bats. If they really cared about being authentic, they would have done a mission that reflected the experiences of Lyudmila Pavlichenko...but then again this "authentic" WW2 game didn't even have the Russians iirc.
b: conforming to an original so as to reproduce essential features
an authentic reproduction of a colonial farmhouse
---There is nothing in BFV other than "it's a world war ii setting" that reproduces essential feeling of what it was to fight in that era. Just because they put a M1 Garande in there with some enemies wearing a Nazi uniform doesn't make it an authentic experience. It's about as authentic as Tropic Thunder's depiction of the Vietnam War.
c: made or done the same way as an original
authentic Mexican fare
---This definition doesn't really apply, but if you can argue that BFV was made the same way as BF1942, knock yourself out.
Also, throwing in "sensible people" as an insult tells me more than enough. Video games are more than "just entertainment" (or at least could be) as it is a medium by which people can interact directly (moreso than a book or documentary). Brothers In Arms proved this to an extent along with Verdun and Medal of Honor as well as multiple other non-FPS games.
Lastly...not sure how you're lumping Saving Private Ryan in with the likes of BFV. The accuracy and authenticity of that movie was so great that it actually caused distress to those who survived the beaches of Normandy.
