@Trokey66 There's a very big difference between mirroring and indisputably rewriting history for the sake of pandering which was exactly what DICE/EA were doing.
As far as accuracy of tracking each 64 people on a battlefield that occurred before the concept of a computer existed as it exactly happened in history is simply impossible. You couldn't ask for that level of accuracy for people walking into the very theater to watch Saving Private Ryan during opening release. It doesn't mean that you can go off the rails and "be just close enough" (i.e. people did a thing somewhere at some point) and sell it the way DICE/EA did. Soderlund literally said his daughter was the reason why that character existed...
The fact that a German can hold a gold Thompson and Brita a Gold STG only serves to prove my point. So what's exactly is yours?
I'll agree that an authentic thing can be used in somewhat inaccurate ways/settings but not to the sheer extent that DICE/EA did and how they sold it.
