"Battlefield 1 is definitely rooted in history. There's no alternate mix of anything else. All the stuff you see is equipment that was available. All the vehicles you see were available at this time."
- A direct quote from Daniel Berlin, Dices lead game designer.

PLEASE NOTE: As mentioned at 56:55, These videos are entirely just for Educational and Entertainment purposes. We completely understand the limitations of video games but put them aside to use the games content as a tool to educate in a unique and intriguing fashion in addition to perhaps providing the research groundwork for the creation of remasters or historical rework mods like we have done in the past. We do not have anything against the otherwise fantastic developers, gameplay, atmosphere and story of this game.

____ Corrections/Clarifications ____
00:02:32: These pouches were actually not made for the MAS 36 at the moment of its adoption in the french army in 1936 as stated in the video. They are actually Cartouchières Modèle 1945. These were issued when the MAS 36 was still in use in Indochina and North Africa with the MAS 49 and later MAS 49/56, which makes them about 30 years off for the WW1 setting, even more anachronistic than originally stated.
00:06:29: The picture shown here is actually that of a M1907-15 M16, a post war 5 round capacity modification of the rifle. It should have been a picture of a WW1 era M1907-15 with the original 3 round flush fit magazine.
01:19:52:  The picture shown on screen here is of a U.S. Bayonet M1917, not the M1903. The bayonet in the game is still the US 1903 bayonet, but the handle matches closer to the British P07, and it's solid wood instead of having a metal cap at the bottom, So it's actually not even correct in its own right.

And yes, the inaccuracy counter sound was changed because the M1 Garand ping would be anachronistic for WW1.

Its crazy how dice completely ignores history in what everyone sees (uniforms, weapons, gear, etc.) and then goes and adds historicly accurate cigarette box in the trenches

Battlefield 1 is the perfect example that, although your " writing"and "Historical accuracy" when referring to "real life events" are not the most accurate and some are even wrong.

You can offset all these aspects with a brilliant use of the atmosphere. thus capturing the most characteristic and recognizable aspects of what the fear and epicness of a war refers to.

Battlefield 1 is the least historically accurate WW1 game ever but i still love it so much. So happy people are still making videos dissecting this game in the year of our lord 2024

1:49:09  As a Turkish born in Istanbul even I don't speak turkish that clean.

Even though it took a ton of liberties, this was the peak of battlefield, and DICE has failed to make a game as good since. I still play BF1 to this day

Battlefield's addition of the Hellrigel pained the captions guy so much he just passed away...he didn't even make it to the half-point.

8:20 I like how the Germans are trying to kill him in the game and he’s just examining they’re uniforms and weapons

1:00:00 I think i read somewhere once that some of the Red Baron's squadmates would also paint their planes with the same red color scheme, in order to prevent the real Richtofen from receiving focused enemy fire. But even then, that would be like a dozen, at most, not hundreds of Red Barons, as shown in game.

I noticed many irregularities in the depiction of the Ottoman army on my first playthrough. I was shocked by how organized and well armed the soldiers were when in fact the Ottoman army didn't even have half of the stuff depicted there. They fought with what the Germans were able to donate and with what the local factories had produced which wasn't a lot since, as mentioned in the video, the Ottoman empire wasn't industrialized or had standards in manufacturing. Also the Ottoman army did use captured and as well as outdated equipment from different fronts they were engaged in. Also you would see variations in uniforms as well since Ottoman supply lines are a disaster, especially when it comes to the Caucasus front, Mesopotamia front, the Sinai and Hijaz front. Still for being that ill equipped for the first modern war in human history the Ottomans fought through valiantly.

In Türkiye we say, "Almanya yenilince bizde yenilmiş sayıldık". (When Germany was defeated, we were defeated.)

This is way more than I thought. I was sure this game would be way more accurate than Battlefield V

This is video is more than two hours long of saying inaccuracies with battlefield one, you have some insane dedication to make these videos.

Battlefield used to know that as unrealistic and as inaccurate as you could be, if you nailed how authentic the game can look and feel, people will love the game for years

2:32 As a french collector myself I can tell that these pouches are actually not made for the MAS 36 at the moment of its adoption in the french army in 1936. They are actually Cartouchières Modèle 1945. These were issued when the MAS 36 was still in use but saw Indochina and North Africa combats until the early 1980's with the MAS 49 and later MAS 49/56, which makes them about 30 years off.

Fun Fact:
In germany we call something to be ''0815'' when we refer to it beeing cheap, basic or unoriginally:
This is because of the MG0815, becuase it was the first heavy mass produced gun that wasnt produced in one factory, rather all the parts were manufactured by different companys and it would be assambled in another.

Also The ''DIN'' Deutsches Institut für Normung (German institute for Norms) also produced the first ever DIN wich is the norm, that describes how the firering pin is supposed to be Tolerated.

I'd like to think that every inaccuracy in these video games, is just the result of the player character having a terrible memory lol. That's my head canon

11:36 It looks like how fire fighters use their hoses. I guess in this instance they are also firefighters, but instead of fighting fire, they use fire to fight.

Absolutely love how he mentions Germany saying shotguns violate the Hague Conventions while also showing German soldiers using flamethrowers lol. Another great video! Didn't know there was this many inaccuracies in this game, but still had gun with this game... then Battlefield 5 was born

I had an argument in the comment section in the Battlefield 5 video with a guy saying that there wouldnt be enough historical innacuracies to make a video on bf1, and here we are today with a 2 hour video with just that
