France used far more white troops than Britain did overall (for roughly the same amount of soldiers in total)

>>2477840
Obviously, because nearly the entire Western Front was on French soil.

>>2477840
What I don't understand about those figures is why were the Indian casualties comparatively so low? Did they not see my much front line action?

Most of the indian forces would have been in the middle east campaigning against the ottomans which apart from Gallipoli was a pretty tame theatre of a war as far as the western allied forces were concerned.

Not that there weren't indian forces on the western front though.

>>2477265
Good to see revisionism is still alive and well.

>>2477921
I don't get this, at the time most people would have been horrifically racist, why wouldn't Britain just conscript a few million non whites from their colonies and use them as cannon fodder once they realised how bloody the fighting was? They could have easily gotten 10 million Indians if they wanted and overwhelmed Germany by sheer numbers.

>>2477967
It's not as easy as you would think to convince people to die for you.

If they surrender, or just run away then what?

>>2477967
They didn't want to provoke a rebellion. Even in ww2 India was an all volunteer army. In addition, many indians (with the exception of "martial races") were seen as effeminate and weak and could not withstand European warfare.

I admit I'm ignorant of the British empire but most Indians (I assume) were poor as fuck and there were over 200 million of them, Britain could have offered them a British soldier's wage to fight which could have attract them, once they knew the war was basically a war of attrition it just seems insane that Britain didn't use it's massive asset of it's non white colonies more.

>>2477967
>I don't get this, at the time most people would have been horrifically racist, why wouldn't Britain just conscript a few million non whites from their colonies and use them as cannon fodder once they realised how bloody the fighting was?

Because part of that racism was not trusting 'inferior' races to be good soldiers, and not trusting them with the power granted by giving millions of them guns. You see the same shit in the American army, where black soldiers disproportionately got non-combat roles. And most extremely in the Ottoman Army, where Christians were literally allowed no combat roles at all.

Also, no, they couldn't have just drowned Germans in Indians. You still need to transport, equip, and feed these men. The Brits were having enough problems just supplying sufficient artillery (and medicine) to British troops.

>>2477967
because even horrifically racist people aren't monsters

You are just going to wind up with the Iraqi army. First sign of trouble they will either surrender or run. If you want people to fight and die for you they have to be morally or ethically motivated. Money is never worth more than your life. Your respect, honor, homeland and principals are all worth dying for in many cultures.

>>2478004
Yes they are.

>>2477960

>>2478019
Half French classes are black, and two are arabs (despite the fact non-whites made less than 10% of French forces in WW1)

It's hilarious, that whole game is a disgrace to the people who actually fought. I'd say most video games fail to portray historical warfare in a respectable manner though. Can't expect much from a AAA title I guess.

>>2477705

It actually makes sense in this case, since BF1 is basically WW1 Spec-Ops (like based Stormtroopers) battling it out and many of those derived from light/skirmishing infantry.

>>2479880
Well then don't seek to play ww1 vidiyas or stop bitching about them not being realistic enough.

if I were French I would probably still be extremely butthurt about being edged out by nigs and Ottomans and not even bother with it

this was basically France's war

Britain was as much if not more relevant than France in WW1, perhaps not in manpower but in ideas and inventions and politics. Do you think the USA, with its huge German popular would have joined if it was just France fighting Germany and not Britain?

>>2480518
>I dont mind though, they had a lot of north african and arabic soldiers, and blacks. The French are the only ones who should have ethnic fighters other than the sikh medic on the UK team

Germany was already beat by the time the US joined by getting their men killed by Britain and having half a million of their civilians starved to death by Britain and having their Ottoman allies shattered by Britain, America's dough boys were irrelevant.

>>2480536
>France had much less non-whites than Britain
Theirs fought on the western front more though. It's not just a numbers thing.

That's what I was getting at. The Ottomans are a faction while France isn't, France was easily the 2nd most relevant factor of WW1 after Germany.

It proves DiCE truly had no fucking idea what they were doing handling a WW1 game.

>>2480569

But having French maps, French tanks and no French faction is just laughable

>>2480490

Yeah sure.

>>2480593
I don't agree with it but it is just business, despite the US being irrelevant they need to be in because their market is huge and most Americans have a fondness to Brits and Aussies so you include the British Empire and you secure a massive English speaking market. France is irrelevant and their aren't massive wealthy French speaking diasporas around the world to pander to.

>>2477684
I recently realised while playing that the Turkish tankers are actually black, so there's that

>>2480546
This. France and England carried the war.

>>2480608
>and most Americans have a fondness to Brits and Aussies so you include the British Empire and you secure a massive English speaking market.

Are you kidding me? British ww2 operations are literally rewritten with Americans in film because they can't stand not seeing themselves

>>2480642

That doesn't invalidate what he's saying. BF1 looks like an American/British buddy comedy on the Western Front.

>>2480556
He looks white to me. Hard to know because of that retarded face mask though.

>>2480642
Yes they prefer Americans but if they can't get Americans they like to see Brits or Aussies.

>>2480642
Include both Brits, Aussies and Americans and you have secured a market of like 400 million wealthy English speakers to potentially buy the game because of nationality. If Russia wasn't poor as fuck and pirated everything there would be loads of Russian focused games.

Allow me to explain vidya in terms of a mass medium. Believe it or not, EA is focused on making as much money as humanly possible; this is the objective of any single business, so speaketh the shareholders.

A mass media is a form of entertainment marketed to ensure the maximum possible profits, each medium having their own marketing strategy. TVs rely on ad-space in the form of commercials and PSAs, movies rely on those once-a-year box office hits, vidya relies on one thing: sheer numbers of individual purchases.

By meeting as many demographics as possible, a piece of vidya's potential success is ensured. Fail to ensure an established market, and the game maybe fun - but nobody will have noticed it. Sure, Battlefield's got an easily established audience - but why not grab a few more buyers?

It's more than a reference they are literally quoting it

Btw, what's up with the "Apocalypse" DLC?
Description says it will be about the "worst battles of the war", but the worst one is by far Verdun and it's already in the first DLC

Will the eternal Anglo once again rewrite history and try to make Passchendaele or the Somme seem more horrific than Verdun?
This game truly hates France

You know it's going to be Passchendaele.

The game is made by swedish people you dumb fuck. i like how you seem to think any game that portrays England in a positive light is 'le anglos'

>>2486277
Wouldnt be an issue if your (and other) children werent going to take 90% of their knowledge about WW1 from that game

>>2486281
It's an EA game, aka directed from the US
Why do you think it overrates Brits so much?

>>2486288
Take it up with the education system that spends more time telling children about da holocaust rather than WW1 and WW2

>>2486296
In what way does it overrate Brits? the fact they're in the game?

>>2486302
Have you looked at the campaign?
Shit is 100% centered around Brits, when it could have had German PoV, Russians, French...but nope, gotta give all the spotlight to Britain (which includes Canada and Australia)

>>2486318
Appeals more to English speaking audiences

>>2486318
Have you played the campaign?

1 is about a British tank crew
1 is about an American pilot
1 is about an italian machine gunner
1 is about an Australian runner
1 is about a Muslim Guerilla

That's 2 where you play as a member of the commonwealth.

There is no Russia as the game is set in 1918, and france are going to be available in 2 weeks. Stop whining, little bitch. You're looking for problems in everything and obsessed with being a victim. It's pathetic and you should stop!

>>2486327
That's what I said
Americans love Britain so every American game that can't focus on American (because of the era it takes place in) has to focus on Britain, even if in the context it means overrating it and downplaying other countries importance

>>2486330
>1 is about a British tank crew
British
>1 is about an American pilot
Flying in the fucking British airforce (when in real life US pilots mostly fought in the French one until they had their own)
>1 is about an Australian runner
British
>1 is about a Muslim Guerilla
Lead by the British
British leadership (muh Lawrence) is the only reason this ridicously irrelevant micro-battle of like 2,000 men was even mentioned

So, out of 5 war stories we have 4 revolving around Brits
Zero about the Germans
Zero about the Russians
Zero about the French
Zero about the Balkans (when fucking Bedouins are there)
All that so the British Empire could get the spotlight

>>2486318
>Shit is 100% centered around Brits
You mean other than the American, Italian and Australian campaigns?

>>2486363
That's because most of WW1 revolved around the Brits in some way or form so you just proved yourself wrong hahaha

>>2486363
>Flying in the fucking British airforce (when in real life US pilots mostly fought in the French one until they had their own)

Because they wanted to add a level where they defend London. You seem to be acting a bit pissy for the slightest thing, here.

>British
Tell that to some Australians I know. They're commonwealth but have their own identity. The entire level fucking lampoons brits anyway, what more do you want nigga?

>Lead by the British

Nigger you're literally looking for anything and everything to be upset about. You keep moving the goalposts, you seem to think that if the UK is involved in anything here it doesn't count, even if just to carry the plot. Why so bitter?

>>2486211
I think it might actually be proper trench maps like passendale and ypres

They will do it last because theyre too scared to make trench maps incase people hate it and their player base drops.
Which is retarded because everyone loves what trench sections we have now, and some maps are already much worse killing fields than any trench maps, like fucking Fao fortress with its gigantic cliff overlooking the entire fucking map which 4000 snipers sit on taking out anything that moves.

>>2486382
It really didnt
Proof is that in order to have Brits get all the spotlight, they had to leave huge chunks of the war out and even to rewrite history for some aspects (like the American pilot fighting in the Royal airforce)

>>2483901
Care to elaborate?

>>2486390
>Because they wanted to add a level where they defend London
Too what end?
To fit in the ebin London aerial warfare meme that steams from WW2 movies?
It's fucking WW1, defending Paris or Berlin would have made much more sense

>Tell that to some Australians I know. They're commonwealth but have their own identity. The entire level fucking lampoons brits anyway, what more do you want nigga?
Blahblahblah
Still having another story focus on the British Empire forces on a barely relevant theater was dumb when Britain had already been covered while the four other major nations of the war hadnt

>Nigger you're literally looking for anything and everything to be upset about. You keep moving the goalposts, you seem to think that if the UK is involved in anything here it doesn't count, even if just to carry the plot. Why so bitter?
If you don't see the issue about having the Bedouins just because "muh T. E. Lawrence fought there" when huge and millions times more relevant aspects of the war are left out, then I can't help you

>>2486418
>Too what end?

>Still having another story focus on the British Empire forces on a barely relevant theater was dumb when Britain had already been covered while the four other major nations of the war hadnt
You realise the gallipoli campaign was a joint anglo-french operation and came close to knocking the turks from the war?

>If you don't see the issue about having the Bedouins just because "muh T. E. Lawrence fought there" when huge and millions times more relevant aspects of the war are left out, then I can't help you
The muslims are in the game not because of TE Lawrence but because of Muslims

>>2486424
>Who cares nigga
Epic argument

>You realise the gallipoli campaign was a joint anglo-french operation and came close to knocking the turks from the war?
Then why have the Brits once again (when they had already been covered) rather than the French? Or even Turks?

>The muslims are in the game not because of TE Lawrence but because of Muslims
Muslims could have been represented by the much more relevant Ottomans
The only reason the game choose to have us play as irrelevant Bedouins who did irrelevant shit was because of muh T E Lawrence (so much for depicting the "unknown" aspects of the war)

>>2486447
>Epic argument
I sayu it because literally no one but you cares.

>Then why have the Brits once again (when they had already been covered) rather than the French? Or even Turks?

Because Australia suffered the most due to its small population. Whole villages were wiped out.

>Muslims could have been represented by the much more relevant Ottomans
No one wants to play as the turks. Except in multiplayer where its necessary

>>2486466
>Because Australia suffered the most due to its small population. Whole villages were wiped out.

Cool story
Germans and French are those who suffered the most on the Western Front, yet the war story for that theater is in British PoV

>>2486481
>Germans and French are those who suffered the most on the Western Front, yet the war story for that theater is in British PoV

Because it's an American audience, and British soldiers are more iconic

I'm not the guy(s?) you were debating with, but this game does indeed overrate Britain, probably to please the American audience as Americans hate French and Russians

No idea why they didnt include a German pov story though, as Americans fucking love Germany

I'm Australian and can confirm that Gallipoli is a massive part of our national identity, one of the few actual pieces of history that still gets regularly taught in schools.

Reminder that the French inflicted twice as many casulties to the Germans as Britain did

>>2486998

During the entire war we suffered from poor British leadership although we had the best soldiers in the entire Commonwealth
Even emus would have lead us better than Brits did

>>2487064

You know Brits died there too?


I'm all for remembering gallipoli but its childish to act as if England didn't suffer also.

>>2487080
They used us as fucking cannon fodder

>>2487101
As they used the British. drop the victim complex. For every Australian killed, 6.5 Brits were killed.

The death toll was around the same as the population ratio. 1:6. Yet you don't see Brits whining.

>>2487101
Like everyone one in the war then dickhead?

At least Brits invented the fucking tank and pioneered planes to beat the stalemate.

>>2487146
>At least Brits invented the fucking tank
Which barely mattered

>and pioneered planes to beat the stalemate.
French and Germans were the ones doing that, not Brits
People wrongly apply the WW2 meme of the iconic British pilot to WW1, but in WW1 British aviation was far behind French and German ones

>>2487216
>Which barely mattered

Holy shit the delusion

The mass deployment of tanks broke the stalemate in 1918.

>>2487146
>>2487262
The Brits inventing the tank isn't all that relevant because the French were inventing tanks in a seperate project at that same time, they produced the most, by far and created arguably the best tank of the war (Renault FT-17) the offensive of 1918 could have still happened even without the Brits having created their initial failed tank only a few months before the French finished their first tank.

>>2486167

My sides
Cant wait for the moment this board will inevitably get flags

>>2477294
Nope. They prioritize the late war, since it means you can drive around with tanks and shoot semi-automatic rifles without it being *too* ahistorical, at least compared to doing the same in the previous years.
They might branch out if folks really take to the rifle-only matches, but ehhhhh nah that ain't happening

>>2489547
Do people really give a shit about that stuff in an online shooter? I would be annoyed if you had black French soldiers in tanks fighting in a story mode at the battle of the frontiers but when it is online people are mostly playing for simple fun with a good aesthetic.

>>2489555
What, not being able to run around with a gun that acts like an assault rifle in every other big budget shooter?
I mean, yeah, they do. There's a reason more people play BF1 than Verdun.

>>2489561
I don't even know what you mean.

>>2489566
If they put the war in years other than 1918 or late 1917, they wouldn't be able to throw around all the obscure late war weapons that they do, those late war weapons being there to mimic or modern weapons in game functionality.
You know, so they can have submachine guns and LMG's the work more like assault rifles and nobody using a bolt action except as a sniper rifle. And tanks, don't forget those. That's why they won't do a battle like the somme.

>>2489578
My point is they could have a accurate story mode and just say "Fuck it" for online because most people will not care in the slightest as long as it has the aesthetic feel.

>>2489547
>They prioritize the late war,

They made a fucking Verdun DLC and had Gallipoli in the base game
The truth is they give zero shit about any kind of historical accuracy, nothing to do with an early or late war focus

>>2489602
Gallipoli can be explained away by the relative obscurity of the battle in comparison to those of the western front proper.
But as for Verdun dlc coming up, ehh, you've got me a bind. Alright, you're right, they truthfully don't give a shit.

>>2489593
Because a realistic story mode would involve a lot more slowness and a lot less automatic weaponry.
And in any case, the story mode is basically an extended tutorial for online. It's a second thought.

>>2489628
I haven't played any Battlefield game so i don't know how they work but there are loads of ways you could do a good WW1 single player even without automatic guns, I used to prefer using the single shot guns in WWII games because I love the satisfying feeling of getting a good shot and the reload animation desu. For online let people do whatever they want just keep the aesthetic there..

>>2489672
As mentioned in this thread, there's Verdun, a WW1 game that does the whole trench warfare shtick with mostly bolt actions and pistols, with only certain players getting the big or fancy guns, and with their advantage not being *too* great.
I like it, I like how they do trench warfare, and the christmas truce event round the end of the year is always welcome. You should check it out, it'd be great to have more folks in the matches.

Besides what others have mentioned the logistics of putting 10 million more men on the front would also be an issue and it might just plainly be a waste of materials. Sheer numbers alone don't work against machine guns and artillery (and it hasn't really worked that well earlier in history either), people aren't robots who will keep advancing when sent to certain death.
