The cap is definitely historically accurate. The slash peak whoever was only ever acceptable for senior nco's

As an Irishman I’m surprised that we’re not taught about any of this, most Irish history that happened under British history is usually swept under the rug

Its not realistic but it definetly feels authentic.

Battlefield 1 is better than vanguard battle of empires for PC depicts gallipoli accurately with the Australians in the British campaign.

I think one of the main reasons they might have mentioned the ANZACs first is becausr of how the Gallipoli Campaign is considered an enormous part of Australian cultural heritage. Regarding how Australians and Kiwis see each other, we're almost like siblings in the sense that Australia gives NZ shit and vice versa but we are still incredibly close Allies.

Any Historian can get mad at tiny details but looking back Battlefield 1 was the most historically accurate video game ever and since BF2042 nobody can complain

Hey mate, just some things to point out! 2:00 - firstly, in the five campaigns you play, three of which are heavily focused on the British and American side, any other member of the allies is pretty much non-existent up until the Italian and Gallipoli campaigns. 3:14 I believe he’s wearing a ground sheet/poncho, I have no idea why he’s wearing it like a cape. 3:40 even though conscription wasn’t a thing, a lot of boys still lied about their age. The youngest is believed to be Jim Martin who died at Gallipoli at 14 due to typhoid fever. I believe this is just an error in the wording. 19:04 basically like brothers who have their feuds. The closet thing I can compare it to is probably Canada and USA 23:09 I’ve seen one source say that there could have been 50 Australian Aboriginal soldiers at Gallipoli, at the time Australia had the “White Australia Policy” barring anyone who wasn’t white from Australia, this also came into the military when non-white servicemen weren’t allowed. I remember seeing a medical discharge paper for an aboriginal soldier at an exhibition, it was really quite horrible and sad. I think if they wanted to diversify they could’ve added the famous Australian sniper Billy Sing, whose father was Chinese. He was officially the best sniper at Gallipoli, with around 150 confirmed kills and an estimated total of around 200 confirmed kills. He apparently had a “sniper duel” with a Turkish sniper named Abdul the Terrible (name Korkunç Abdül). He died alone as an alcoholic after the war. 25:13 lastly, it’s common because there definitely was a big divide between the two groups. The British saw the Australians and New Zealanders as nothing more than sons of a penal colony, this was only perpetuated when the Australian got in a lot of trouble for stealing company rum, playing impractical jokes on the British etc. the British officers definitely treated their local combat groups much better than the commonwealth soldiers, even Australian general John Monash would complain in a letter about the lack of recognition for the Australian sacrifice by the British public. The story in that game is that the old dude has to go and rescue around a platoons worth of wounded who are stuck, it would make sense that the British would fire artillery to cover their retreat. Edits- spelling mistakes

The East African front is something that I think everyone forgets and I would love to see more about it

4:38 They actually did that photo in the MP map called “Cape Heles” Also the uniforms are Well-made to the multiplayer again, but that came in a DLC

"Lied about his age to get past conscription..." So he lied... to become a conscript? He was voluntarily a conscript?

As an Australian the runner mission really stuck out to me, it was so weird to play so many shooters but only have Australia in one of them

That first image of the fort you showed was actually what the galipoli multiplayer map is like where the Australians vs Ottomans in operations mode

Another great analysis, I was so happy when they announced BF1 was having a Gallipoli group of missions. I think they captured some details quite well but like you say they missed an opportunity to show the Irish contribution from the River Clyde. They could have done a mission each for the Irish, Anzac and British Landing really and not mixed everything together. My great grandfather landed as part of the suvla bay attack in August. He was in 6th royal Munster fusiliers as part of a Lewis gun team. He then fought in Greece, Yugoslavia, Gaza/Jerusalem and then finished the war in France. Lucky to be alive I guess, wish I knew him, have his service medal and from that could find a few things out about his units service during the war.

I must say your reactions to historical movies, and games are some of the best I've seen. I don't know if I asked you but I was wondering if you could do a reaction to The Thin Red Line because that was a pretty realistic World War II movie depicting the Pacific pretty well👍

I learned more history from this guy than my entire school career of history classes.

i don't understand all this hate against bf1 for some inaccuracies, i mean, all the stuff that we see in bf1 really existed, prototypes included, Dice made an awesome job, they made a lot of research, some gears are innacurate for the year and stuff like this, but they didn't put fake stuff in the game. they never said that this was supposed to be a simulative game, the whole ww1 atmosphere is in the game, jeez.. i'm a guy who study ww1/2 history, but damn, i don't see all this need to cover with shit the game. Is the game set in ww1? yes did they made research? yes does it feel ww1? obviously so, there's no need to say that bf1 is trash just beacuse ''the cap here was no used until 1916, we are in 1915, this game is trash'' look at all the positive things that the game have.. but these videos that make this man are so amazing because can actually make people who don't know history nicely, get more informed .

nice timing for the video, today is the anniversary of the Naval Battle for the Gallipoli One of my grandparents died during Gallipoli campaign, and I am living in Çanakkale; the city which gallipoli is located at. I would say geography is okay for the game but real terrain is far more different than the one in-game. Also ottoman troops didn't use flamethrowers or fancy weapons like those in the game. For the record, ottoman army only had less than 1 million rifles for the army, and half of them were Martini-Henry rifles. Only 300k of them were 1893 turkish mauser which mostly saw service at gallipoli; because it was closer to Constantinople, hence it was easy to deliver the supplies nevertheless I think it was an okay mission, not the best when it comes to historic accuracy though

Sheesh, you don't miss a thing! Great video, very informative.

Looks like I'm learning something more from you. You corrected various details I never knew the game had or I think I know.

Love to see new vids

I do love it when somebody applies accurate historical knowledge to these fantasy epics masquerading as actual history. Side note - always hated (once got seriously threatened in Australia) for simply pointing out Gallipoli was not just an Australian tragedy. Australia's 8,709 dead is horrific. But I can't forget my mum's uncle Dick - who landed with the Lancashire Fusilier's and came home shot through the mouth and stomach - one of the 78,520 wounded, along with 34,072 dead the UK suffered. But Gallipoli seems to now be just an Australian, or ANZAC event.

I definitely want to see more about this game. I love this game and still play it to this day, didn't know a lot about how historically inaccurate so it would be interesting to see the other campaigns

They got the ship in the foreground, for the bombardment. At first thought it would be a HMS Queen Elizabeth, which was present during the battle. However, closer inspection I realized that's not a Queen Elizabeth class; it's an Iron Duke class. However, NONE of the Iron Dukes were present; they were all in the Grand Fleet up at Scapa Flow. You can see it has 10 guns not 8, which the Queen Elizabeth had 8 guns. I also thought it might've been an Orion class, since that had a similar Armament to the Iron Duke. However, the ship in the foreground has a tripod mast which would indicate an Iron Duke. In short, no, it's not correct. That ship is an Iron Duke class bit NONE of the Iron Dukes were present during the battle. If they wanted a Dreadnought battleship, then they really should've gone for HMS Queen Elizabeth, since it was present during the battle. Otherwise they would've had to use a Pre-dreadnought battleship. Most of the allied capital ships comprised of Pre-dreadnoughts during the battle.

Great video! Totally agree with you, we british seem to get a bad wrap when it comes to ww1 and ww2 for some reason. Also, I don't understand why they don't invest in hiring a team of historians to work with them on historical games or even a couple of historians just to sign off the game and give it the green light. I guess it comes down to money but still I think it should be prioritised as you say this is how the youth learn of past events and the Gurkas are very impressive soldiers like the Canadians when it comes to war.

Dude! Your humor only keeps getting better 😂😂

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!

As a limy Brit I want to ask if you think there's an anti british sentiment around popular media right now? We all know that the British empire was tyrannical and there were atrocities committed, but it was the same for all western European countries like France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands yet they seem to get away with it. Whenever I see historical media I get the feeling they try to down play the UK contribution or in some cases, portray them as villains with them being stuck up, arrogant and cowardly. Im fascinated by history so I want these nations and people to be portrayed as they actually were. Like all empires before the British and European empires weren't all good but at the same time weren't all bad. When I see people claiming the British today want to colonise everything is the same as people claiming all Germans are Nazis's. PS: And as someone of Irish descent, i'd love more content about the Irish in WW1.

What’s funny is that for the multiple player mode the Turks have correct uniforms but the British still dint

Great work.

Oh god when you mentioned the possibility of the “time to go” line being a possible foreshadowing, it reminded me of the Gallipoli movie and now I’m sad

Love those videos. Please make one with every world war battlefield campaign

I am interested in the multiple strokes, mental breakdowns and aneurysms if you reacted to some of the Battlefield V missions

Could you react to the Italian mission too ? I guess you will produce a fine video as well 🤣 P.s. You are doing an amazing job 🤙🏻

I really wish this game was more like the old cods. I think you should do a small series on cod 2, or even just the last american mission. It really make you feel like those last american hold outs

Love this Dude👍

Great analysis! One minor thing though. When referring to front part of a ship bow is pronounced like bou. I don't blame you for that mistake since we sailors have a long history of pronouncing things differently from everyone else.

If you're looking for a good ww1 Gallipoli show (it is pretty historically accurate) it's on Netflix it's called Gallipoli. It's good you should watch it

Really good in-depth exploration of the details. Wasn't there a unit badge on the Australian hats?!

More bro these are fun to watch

this mission always annoyed me the fact that the aussies are on V beach in cape helles and not Gaba Tepe AKA ANZAC cove and that they show them on the River Clyde Rather than the men of the 2nd Battalion Hampshire Regiment and 1st Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers and 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers. these men were cut down as they left the collier but fought on they should be remembered. The Hampshire's especially get forgotten thanks to things like Wikipedia and other sources. The actual Name plate of the River Clyde is in there Regimental museum. I've had to edit Wiki myself to correct the wrongs. it brings alot of anger as ive met some of the guys who were there from the battalion and who saw the carnage.

In regards to the “human with high melanin” near the end of the video, that would be a representation of an Indigenous Australian soldier who served in Gallipoli. 70 Indigenous Australians served in Gallipoli but I’m not sure if they would have been present for that advance

I feel inaccuracies are kinda overshadowed by the story the meaning behind, and in almost all stories they don't try to dehumaniz each side. But that's just my opinion

If i not mistaken, they hired indy neidell as a freelancer to do the information at the beginning and end of the mission.

Hey, love your analysis, when will the next update on Ukraine will come? I am eager to watch your analysis of current situation

Nice video

I don't know if you did it on purpose or not but today is the anniversary of this war. So, kudos either way. I really liked your analysis and takeaways. I really appreciate the effort you put into this. I understand its frustrating most of the time. And if this angered you this much, don't watch the Arabian theatre mission, you'd go mental (actually please watch it, i'd pay top dollar to see that). Also i like your channel a lot, I discovered through a friend who sent me your first Russian-Ukrainian war analysis. Subscribed since then.

Honestly even though I'm younger generation I usually don't believe the games, and I usually do own research and stuff and read books about it

15:40 Actually the germans didnt make them. They just sent regular helmets, which later were made custom in the Ankara Arms Factory.

I mean they made it as accurate as they could back then, it actually let people start to focus Ww1 again which a lot more Ww1 related games came out, so it's a w I guess (I'm also pretty sure this dude is playing in the easiest difficulty, it could explain why there is only so much Turkish soldiers during the entire campaign missions for this side of the war)

I really like your reactions to historical games to and movies. I can recommend you to make a reaction to call of duty world at war which is probably one of the best depictions of the second world war that video games has to offer.

OMG THANKS YOU!! PLS AN OTHER WITH BATTLEFIELD 5 Last tiger cutscene.

If he took a look at the multiplayer maps I think he would like them much better. As they have less of the fantasy trenches however they are not as closely based on real location.

Just a correction. Australian troops WERE brought down to cape helles. It was actually relatively easily to move up and down that beach line and many units did so. The Australians basically made their reputation during the second battle of krithia when after a day of fruitless attacks by British and French forces, which gained no territory, the Australians advanced at the end of the day in the face of ferocious fire (some Australians, famously, advanced using shovels as ‘umbrellas’ against bullets) and made the only gain of the day - can’t remember how deep that attack penetrated but it was a lot by the standards of Gallipoli. It was the last meaningful gain of ground of the campaign. The Australian advance at second krithia featured in many British correspondence and reports of the battle. That said, there were no Australians outside of Anzac cove on 25 April 1915. Also, there is a fantastic Australian tv series - Gallipoli - released in 2015 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the campaign. As an ex Australian infantryman with a deep interest in the Gallipoli campaign I can confirm it’s quite accurate, although it focuses on a very small part of the campaign. There were actually Germans at Gallipoli. One of the positions at Anzac cove was known as German Officers Trench. That said, the stahl helm was never used at Gallipoli. Australians went into action in the British cap on 25 April but became so dismissive of British forces that they quickly switched to the Australian slouch hat - the khaki fur felt (it was also more practical in the heat). There were a number of Australians in their 50s at Gallipoli, mostly officers. The commander of the 3rd light horse brigade was in his 50s and that appears to have had a significant effect in his performance during the disaster at the Nek on 7 August. Australians and New Zealanders have great respect for each other. Australians and New Zealanders can take the piss out of each other - tease each other - but if you attack one, you attack both. I don’t think Canadians and Americans are like that. The Mel Gibson movie Gallipoli inaccurately portrays the situation of the runners during the battle at the nek. In fact the confusion in communications on the day was due to the brigadier in command of the 3rd light horse brigade not being where he was supposed to be, and the other colonel in command of the 10th light horse getting out of touch while trying to find him. That miscommunication had nothing to do with runners - it was the officers (who incidentally all hated each other) who were the problem. The commander and 2ic of the 3rd light brigade were both sent back to Australia after the battle of the Nek, along with the 10th light horse commander. The ghurkas served at Anzac cove. Lord slim, who later commanded the Chindits in Burma and was for a time the Governor General of Australia after ww2 (a position he requested due to his admiration for Australians he served with at Anzac) , was one of their officers. Sadly the ghurkas were largely destroyed at Anzac during the August offensive when mistakenly bombarded by British naval fire (which seriously wounded slim). One of their senior NCOs was left in charge and won a VC - largely because he didn’t speak English and didn’t understand the order for the ghurkas to withdraw.

Amazing video, absolutely love this content. However, cylindrical grenade that looks very similar to a Mills bomb? a) Where are the improvised jam jars and b) Mills bombs weren't available until just before the evacuation in December.

I feel like you will have a heart attack if you watch the nordlys war story in battlefield 5

Very interesting!. It’s a long shot but do you know much about what the royal marine light infantry, Portsmouth division did?. My Ancestor was part of it and was wounded by a bullet to the face. I did read that they landed after the initial landings

The thing with the Brody helmets in 1915 is mainly because dice was too lazy to change up the models instead of making new modified Irish models for One campaign they use the same stock British army that’s in the rest of the game

Still more realistic and accurate than BFV's war story mission that takes place in Norway.

I will never be able to play a game like this again

little side note on the uniform shenanigans they get them right little bit in the Turning Tides DLC

On max difficulty the defense is much more realistic, machine guns are constantly on your steps and almost every soldier approaching the beach dies. Also in the tranches there are more soldiers.

A small detail i picked up on is on the ship he said "level your GUN" atleast for Britain you call it a RIFLE A GUN HAS WHEELS!

They legit used the German outfit on ottomans but changed the color to white

The Gun that the player is using is a Lee Enfield, the standard issue rifle of the british army, but the sights however are very historically inaccurate. He is also using a shotgun which weren’t used until the americans arrived in Europe in summer of 1918. The weapon besides the turkish soldier is a german Gewehr 98 the standard issue rifle of Germany.

Please, if you can, review the Brothers in Arms trilogy, I remember those being great tactical games

I feel bad for you man. Plus, seeing a historian mad, my type of video. But having a history class in 8th grade, I feel you.

We need something New, a game without money people, we need people who want to make games that are fun and historical accurate. It sucks for the today Generation, because the schools arent learning history right, they font even care for history then

It may not be THAT historically accurate but the graphics and the atmosphere is good enough for I think almost all of us

Bro got me questioning this game now

medal of honor european assaults desert bunker mission was always a cool interesting one

You're pretty much on point, just have it stuck in my head that the broddie helmet style looks pretty authentic to pictures, statues and most museum mannequin wear it with the high chin strap directly below the bottom lip and the brim tipped forward, again think your right in the fact they aren't wearing it correctly but I think it's just a case of a craftsman and his tools adapting to their needs , fashion wise or practicality based.

U should make it to where the audio of the videos come through the same video loudly

im glad they mentioned the irish in there, people tend to forget that the Irish fought in the british army

The cape is to put over your nose and mouth when there’s gas being used kind of like a gas mask

"Assassin's Creed Gallipoli?!" LMAO

Fun fact, not these subtitles, but the ones you see during loading screens, were written by ‘The Great War’ KZfaq channel

I think the multiplayer version of Gallipoli in bf1 has a much more accurate map design than in the campaign. I may be wrong tho

But Boucher picked up his rifle again 52 years after the conflict's end, when, at age 72, he became one of the oldest-possibly the very oldest-men to serve on the battlefield during World War I. Boucher was born in Ontario, Canada, in December 1844, when Canada was still a British colony

Unlike Britain and France , this was to be Australia and New Zealand's first big engagement into the war thinking they would be sent to the western front , remembering the war has been going on for a year ? In Australia and New Zealand ANZAC DAY is a very important event, its part of our culture, to remember our men who went there and fought for the first time together for the British Empire. Even though it ended in failure, it didn't break our resolve and we continued fighting in the war. Also, both Australian and New Zealand took part in small actions in the second boar war , this would be our baptism in a real major war. Most other nations don't really remember this campaign, Australia and New Zealand and Turkey get together once a year at Gallipoli to honour all the fallen , every year the 25th April both Australia and New Zealand its a public Holiday where many take part in Anzac day dawn parades to remember those that died and who returned, including current service personnel overseas.

14:39 daki fotoğrafı nerden buldun link verirmisin ve googleden bulduysan ne yazdın da buldun yani ne arattın google de de bu fotoğrafı buldun ?

Nice vid, can you do Enemy Lines (2020)? That movie has some particularly egregious historical errors.

The Frederick Bishop you referenced did fight at Gallipoli, just didn’t die there.

Well I have to agree on the uniforms in the mission, but on such I think they copied and pasted that from their multiplayer area of the game. And as well that weird scope design on the SMLE rifle that you start with, was the telescopic sight, which were used in late 1914 discontinued in mid 1915. But I don't think they were used in Gallipoli, seeing that there are only accounts of them being used in the Western Front. And these were used to have better accuracy at a better distance, but in such the sights only caused minor blindness for the shooter, mainly in sunny skies. Or worse revealed the shooters position to artillery or enemy snipers.

He on fire more than some CoD Vanguard I can't imagine how much mistake on that lol

I really would love to see a reaction to avanti savoia

Please do a reaction to the woman that did the Norwegian raid with her daughter in Battlefield 5 It might be historically inaccurate, like I don't know if it was her daughter or not but I'm sure that's not too big a deal, it's badass historically speaking though.

I like playing video games but historical accuracy is important and I hope there is a game that is accurate so it can be fun and accurate also can you react to the show Gallipoli

There are plenty of ww1 movies about Gallipoli but not well known one being Gallipoli with Mel Gibson and mark lee but there is a docudrama made in 2015 that tells both sides stories by multiple sources be prepared to cry as the men tell their story up to their fates.

I think that a game should be made that is a mix of FLS and strategy where you command an army in WW1 and in combat you spawn in as a officer, would be nice in my opinion, not to mention different types of infantry like militia, askaris, light infantry, heavy infantry, and Maxim Gunners, and there is also a colonization game mode, sure this is kinda off topic but I just thought it was something worth typing.

My guy just needs to react to a CoD WaW mission so he can actually have a somewhat fun time.

Man, I wish they would get things right. Anzac, are still important to New Zealand and Australia. Anzac, means Australia New Zealand Army Corp. Well, as a New Zealander. There are many jokes between the two countries. New Zealand is known as the little brother of Australia. After the campaign, then it came out the name of ANZAC.

A lot of people are complaining about this guy criticizing what they call “little things” and saying that they’re not that big of a deal. My question is, “If they were such minor details, then why are you getting so bent out of shape about what some guy on KZfaq says about it”?

They had gas masks. They expected the Ottomans to use gas because they knew Germany delivered the weapon. Ottomans didn’t use gas weapons but used firebomvs that were legal to use so after 1 month, the allied soldiers removed the masks because they felt gas threat was over. You can read such stuff from memoires of Anzac soldiers published 1915 issue Australian and New Zealender newspapee. Check the Otago Times and The Age they have internet archives

17:18 epaulette- the shoulder thing

I thought battlefield 1 would put up well

I think that a game should be made that is a mix of FPS and strategy where you command an army in WW1 and in combat you spawn in as a officer, would be nice in my opinion, not to mention different types of infantry like militia, askaris, light infantry, heavy infantry, and Maxim Gunners, and there is also a colonization game mode, sure this is kinda off topic but I just thought it was something worth typing.

idk if you told us about it but fredrich bishop was on the river clide but he didnt die in gallipoli he died in the battle of the somme

17:22 The white uniform on the Ottomans is actually their dress uniform which was used for ceremonious occasions like a parade much like the black dress uniform of the SS.

I really want to see "getting mad" at Brothers in Arms Trilogy (especially "Hell's Highway").
