On both Iwo Jima and Pacific Storm, there are 6-8 Iowa Class Battleships on each map. Only 4 Iowa Battleships were made throughout history.

The british-on-american-plane-on-german-air-assault thing bothered me most

Obscure error: Americans invading Wake Island with MG42s and baseball bats

On the topic of gasmasks, what the hell is with the Dead Mans Hand/AKA gas mask? It’s a MF 2008 Chinese mask, one used by the Chinese engineer from BF4

Here are also some inaccuracies: - Little to no British gear for the British faction - German uniforms have their colours wrong and too washed out, they also miss iconic details such as the eagle or the collar tabs - The deluxe edition set, the Fallschirmjager, bears no resemblance whatsoever to what Fallschirmjager actually wear - Scope for the M1 Garand is placed wrongly - BAR has a wrong RoF (max RoF was 650) - Wake Island has the U.S attacking instead of the Japanese - Tons of modern gear available aside from the GP-5 gas mask , such as the M65 jacket (The Weatherman), MF-22 gas mask (AKA), 1980s raincoat (The Wolf), modern ballistic vest (Crewman), various modern BDU trousers, modern camouflages, - Nachtigall set and its variants make the soldier's arms female even if they are male - Model of the Archer TD is wrong, the engine part looks totally different than the real counterpart - StuG IV starts with the short 75mm gun which it didn't have historically - Staghound and Panzer 38t have access to 20mm autocannons which they didn't have, though I guess that it is for gameplay purpose (could have used the Sd.kfz 234 Puma instead though) - Sherman has access to HEAT shells with the 76mm gun, however that gun didn't use HEAT shells irl

One error is releasing 5.2, and not doing a full revert.

I just wish the cosmetics were a bit more realistic overall. Like maybe a ghillie sort of thing for snipers that will change colour depending on the map. I really hope that they bring tank and half track customization soon because that's just a joke now

There’s also the issue of British gas masks being that of a modern type issued from the 1980’s onwards

Don't get why they haven't changed the C47 for the JU52. Poor.

On Wake Island there’s a grassy bunker that you get on, well there’s an invisible wall that you can’t shoot through unless you are standing all the way up and you usually get mowed when that happens

You can't use the flip up sight on the bar or the Browning 1919 A6

The hole airborne issue has annoyed me the most

OH GOD I was waiting for someone to show some missed details in the game cause there are a lot of them! For example (I don't know if it's in the video) the Breda Battered skin shows the gun's mechanism but the bullet in the chamber only appears when you're reloading, otherwise it's not there so you're basically shooting air lol

"wE hAvE sPeNt aLoT oF TiMe iNtO rEaSearChiNg hIstOrY" Also how did you accuire so many different cosmetics?

I’ll tell you what bugs me the most... “Report not found”

Obscure error: Allowing the pc version to be flooded by hackers without even giving us a votekick option even though it existed 8 years ago in bf4

When reloading the m1 garand mid clip, one live round should be ejected along with the remaining rounds in the clip. This is because the m1 garand fires from a closed bolt but you need to pull the bolt back to reload a new clip in. For example, if you shoot once and reload, 1 live round is ejected and 6 are in the clip. So if you shoot 7 times and reload, 1 live round is ejected and an empty clip is ejected.

That moment when they renamed the ka bar to combat knife

I have to give you props for youre pronounciation on the german words. Really not bad :D

Fallschirmjäger parachutes didn't allow them to control where they went either. Kind of glad they didn't add this, would make jumping out of the transports really obnoxious.

Error Number 1: This game's existance

Ilse's pickaxe can clearly be seen on her belt, but in the cutscene she is also holding it in her hand

Thank you for speaking about the stock of the Sturmgewehr 44! (And everything else!)

One more obscure error: incorrect installation of the optical sight on the M1 Garand. The optical sight was never mounted on a sniper version of a rifle in this way.

7:31 - Hans, give me the flammenwerfer!

I wish we could see a wake island rail easter egg or just one hiding from the war

After my dad watched me play grand operations my dad whom severed with airborne rangers told me that is a combat jump they would throw you out at 500 ft because when troopers would jump at the usual 1200 ft germans would shoot paratroopers out of the air it was developed in ww2 and is a tactic still used to day

German paratroopers only jumped with pistols and grenades and had to find their weapons in a container which was dropped separately.

The most egregious screw up without a doubt is the lack of a single actual British Uniform. 50% of the base game was based around the British Faction , which for some reason are _all_ kitted out in American gear. Aside from a few variations later in the war, the standard British battle dress was _Brown_ not a greyish-green like in game. DICE seems to think the only visual difference between British and American forces was a Brodie helmet instead of an M1 which just isn’t true at all. The closest we can get is the Sandman variant because of the P37 we gear pouches which came standard, however it is an American army shirt. The desert camouflage makes it similar to the correct brown but is still far too light. Sure it’s understandable that dice would want to pool British and American gear for customisation; but aside from the we gear and pouches on the Sandman: there isn’t even one actual British uniform.

I'd LOVE to see more of this. Here's another big one: The M1 Garand Scope is completely wrong. It's mounted on the wood of the rifle, where it was mounted I believe in line with the gun, mounted directly in front of the iron sights. The scope to me has a distinct look, being it so close to the gun itself. I also think the Sturmtiger's aiming milidots/range indicators are not accurate, at least in terms of the game. I.e. 300 meters on the tank sight does not equal 300 in the game. However, I'm probably using it wrong. I could never get German sights.

Great video. I liked all these little nitpicking details you found. Also the M1 Garand reload doesn’t need to have the hand push the thing forward. I can’t quite explain it probably 😬 but when the clip presses down it automatically launches that receiver thingy forward. You may have already covered this.

“if you’re not interested in petty mistakes, this video isn’t for you” Lmao seems like that’s all people ever want to talk about. Rare that you see positive comments, at least in my experience.

Don't forget the Union Jack skin, where it says God save the Queen on the back, she didn't assend to the throne until well after the second world war.

None of this is nitpicky, if they're gonna make a game about a historical point in time they better do their goddamn research!

Battlefield biggest error. Changing the TTK

Veramente grazie, I love that you noted that this is the Bersaglieri helmet and not an Alpini One.

Are we gonna forget that DICE thinks every little hole in a tank is a machine gun port? The optics on the sides of the Pz.38. The aiming port for the Archer's gun, along with the port the driver looks out of. Because apparently you can fit machine guns there.

oh i know, i have another unrealastic thing in the game,it is: the game

Love it, dude, it's always those little details you won't let us miss.

The StG one drove me nuts! Keep at ‘em, Flak!

Nice vid as always! I even learned a thing or two lol. Hope they fix these issues..but I realized that I have never payed enough attention to even notice these major things hahaha

Love your vids Flakfire

Love your videos. How are you such a boss with all this awesome-yet-obscure military history detail????

Ilse is time traveler confirmed :)

Obscure error: Battlefield 5

Cool vid, that's why I'm subbed to you Flakfire!

I also noticed in the jump sequence that the captain for that germans was wearing an American ammo belt and field bottle. They have a lot to fix in this game

I didn’t notice the stahlhelm rivet, but now that you pointed it out it makes me so pissed

Folding stock on a StG44 wasn't tried by the Wehrmacht, but someone actually did that. German company Sport-Systeme Dittrich offered semi-auto StG44 copies with a MP40 folding stock and a "modernized" G36 skeleton stock. Another one was made by someone as a garage job.

That ripcord pull after hooking the static line has driven me nuts since launch.

I hope we get a grand operations involving the Pacific front

"when u hate bf5 but u dont know what bugs are the most important to mention..."

Hi flak. The gas mask on the British side is an S.10. Respirator. Used by myself in the 1990,s during infantry training.

The mask ilse uses is extremely similar to the sm-1 mask , issued earlier in the war. Quite similar to the gp5 except the 'exhaust valve' is slightly slanted

7:31 "Hans get ze flammewerfer"

7:34 Hans, get ze flammenwerfer

My largest pet peeve is how there was a tiger 1 in the opening introduction when that was set as 1940 even though it started production in 1942

All I want changed here is the british cosmetics and german cosmetics. Especially the German helmet.

I didn't notice the missing firing pin thank you for bringing that up

Thank you for your comment about DICEs historical error

I noticed that the model for the P08 Carbine has the incorrect magazine. DICE's model uses an MP18i magazine, which is in itself a modified P08 mag, but with an additional part designed to prevent it from being "over-inserted" into the submachine gun. The luger has a much deeper magazine well, so the MP18 mag would never feed into the P08. It's a weird slip up considering they got it right in BF1.

Does the end of round score board not appearing at all count as an error? Since the last patch I've only gotten "error: 2838485001o496619485y020595" as my scoreboard

Remember the letstalk battlefield podcast? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I thought the folding stock looked odd, thanks for ironing that out for me

Also, most of the landing crafts were driven with the Browning M1919s facing forward with the ramp to the rear of the beach. And because I like some historical accuracy I usually drive in reverse towards the beach when driving. One more detail that would be nice would be to add a vertical foregrip option and M1A1 iron sights as an option to the M1928A1. I mean, it's a Chicago Typewriter, I need my vertical grip if I am gonna use a drum. And if I'm a Marine I want my proper M1A1 Thompson with a side ejecting port. Not to mention the Nydar Reflex Sight was specifically manufactured for the Remington Model 11 which is a patent use of the Browning Auto 5. Yet, there is no Nydar Reflex option for the gun in game.

When you said etcetera at the end, Siri came up and said “I’m listening “, peculiar.... Nice content btw.

One of the inaccuracies in the pacific maps is the troop transport trucks are opel blitz‘s (German transport truck) and not a Japanese transport truck.

How do you get the Wild Eagle helmet and or Uniform?

How did you get all those clothing costumization options?

I've been waiting for this a long time. Thanks Flak you have a clear knowledge of military history, unlike other content creators or game developers.

What uniform were you using while taking about the airborne mistakes

Don't forget the M40 and M42 were used alongside the M35 Stahlhelm, though very similar, the M42 has a sharp, non rolled edge, while the M35 and M40 used a rolled edge that took longer to make and used more metal.

Great video Flak Fire and there is a big problem with the Tiger tank. The Tiger in bfv can be seen with the early model turret with early commander cupola and early model mantlet but has the late steel road wheels. There were a number of tigers like this but we're used as training tanks but did see action in 1945 as a final stand one was knocked out by a British comet tank in 1945. DICE need to get a grip and change the road wheels to rubber rim wheels. If DICE go to Bovington tank museum they can see Tiger 131 the most famous Tiger tank of all and see the correct details. The Tiger did use steel wheels later in the war but had a different turret and a much more different commanders cupola and mantlet. It's annoying playing the Tiger in the desert with the wrong road wheels.

What skin are you using in the video?

How did you get the Bersaglieri helmet?

7:33 Hans, bring ze Flammenwerfer!

Hey Flak, one error someone else pointed out was the LVT stock configuration. Apparently the hull and the turret belong to different variants and were never together. The turret belongs to the A1 variant while the hull is that of an A4. I need to do more research tho to confirm this.

were do you get all these helmets from ??

How do you get all of those hats?

Awesome... the C-47 Airborne mistake bugged me enormously from day 1, definitely made the game feel rushed! Wasn't aware of the Stalhelm being wrong, wow, that's a big one! Most egregious error for me is the "Slay for the Queen" coat for the British faction - how could they not notice that???

Can someone tell me why there is no report at the end of my games. How to fix this problem?

Whats with the 3 arms when reloading the flare gun? (5:12)

-All the faction squad leaders use the same radio -The japanese are using 6 pounder british ATs -US invading wake island? -Opel trucks in wake island? -The Japanese use type 97 as HMG instead of The hochkiss design HMG most type 97 were used in tanks .. These are also some mistakes by dice

Another thing they fixed was the stahlhelm's color. They darkened the default helm later on to better match the proper color.

What bugs me most is that the ships in the background of Narvik and in the campaign mode are the Iron Duke class from BF1, which makes no sense as the irl Iron Duke was relegated to a training ship before WWII. It would make far more sense for it to be a ship like the Warspite, which is famous for her service at Narvik and in other theaters.

I just learned about that guy at 7:56 yesterday on Reddit. Happy that I now know about him instead of seeing him as just a random German soldier.

The static line one bothers me the most, I don’t know why

Still to this day I haven't witnessed the Garand thumb first hand.

I’m not sure if this is on purpose. But on the island Hopper appearance, isn’t the flag suppose to be backwards when it’s on the right shoulder?

Hello FlakFire Keep Up The Good Work

Thing that bother me about the Pacific update is that Dice give us the Able helmet for the Japanese instead of the metal one. The metal helmet mostly used by the Japanese soldier during the war especially on Iwo Jima. Other than that, I thought America was supposed to defend the Wake Island.

take a look at the tiger 1 with the war story skin.. its a mix of early, midt and late models of tiger tanks :)

What version of the battlefield theme is that??

My history teacher would be very happy and proud of you

Regarding the paratrooper helmet, there was a parachute regiment operates in PTO.

Actually ilse's mask is an shm 41, if you look at the valve assembly you can see that it is infact an shm41

The american airplanes do not feature the star emblem on the R/H top and L/H bottom side of the wing. This was done pre-war but the symbol then was also different

I absolutely agree about the airborne drop sequence!

I wish he would focus s bit more of bigger things like oh his helmet misses on little bit of metal and oh they made a tank useable

the flare gun has a firing pin imbedded in the hammer.
