Re: WW2 girls

I love that there were women whom had huge impacts across the multiple continents.

But lets be clear- women were not main front line soldiers excepting in the Russian battalions- and even then not as front line soldiers- more often as support soldiers or as identified here attached to specialist units like the snipers and recon brigades. Also in engineering brigades. 

IN the same light there were Chinese women fighting the Japanese, Korean's also, as well as militia's with women in Italy, Spain, France, most of the Baltic states and through out North Africa. 

This however- due to a whole lot of reasons they were the minority in combat- and certainly exceptionally rare in front line units.

The issue as I see is not so much about sexism (as no-one decried the women in BF1, BF4 BF3 and so on) but rather that there seemed to be some strange effort to warp a game that has previously based itself on some level of historical accuracy. When gamers responded they didn't like this- EA's response was pretty poor.

I am sure if the trailer had focused on a RUSSIAN WOMEN without a prosthetic in an Eastern European combat scene that maybe the issue wouldn't have escalalted as unnecessarily as it did.
