    "It's not historically accurate, but it's historically AUTHENTIC"
    Truer words have never been spoken.
    A game needs to take certain liberties to be enjoable, but if the setting makes you immersed in the time period and area it's supposed to portray - then it's done the job, whether historically accurate or not.
    P.S.
    The reason there are trashed Tigers II's in Stalingrad is because they only modeled two types of wrecked german tanks that come from later in the game (where you actually fought them in previous video). So to save time and money they re-used it in Stalingrad so they don't have to create Pz IV's that were only going to be used for one scene because in no other part of the game you see/face Pz IV's and their subsequent wreckage, but you have entire 2 missions where you fight and wreck numerous Tigers and Panthers . A lot of assets work that way. It's not necessarily because they weren't aware that they don't belong there, they very much did. But it's because they had to cut as much time as they could without sacrificing too much. Remember this is already in the era of Annual Releases.

WaW is definitely a certified classic, personally it’s the very best WW2 themed FPS to this day despite not being the most historically accurate. Despite how hot CoD4 was doing and Treyarch was one again making another WW2 game…they still made a true passion project from head to toe. However this game’s potential wasn’t fully taken advantage of due to the annual release bs. I guarantee you that if WaW had an extra year of development time, we most likely would’ve gotten the British Commandos for the campaign and multiplayer as well as the Italians. Probably the ANZAC too.

    Just by looking at the models of tanks and such in this mission, you can tell the developers could only model so many unique vehicles. The rest of the soviet missions take place in the later war so it makes sense that if they didn't have time to model 1942 vehicles that they would just reuse models from the late war missions. The reuse of the M2 flamethrower from the pacific missions in this mission also displays that.

    If I’m remembering right, the only model of flamethrower in World at War was the M2 from the American campaign. The German troopers here in Vendetta, Heart of the Reich and Downfall all use M2s. For whatever reason, they either didn’t bother to find, or couldn’t source a Flammenwerfer 35 or 41 to model one. Just like how the Americans (or more curiously, the Japanese, considering where you find them) are using M9A1 Bazookas despite them only being in production for a couple months by that point.

      That’s what was throwing me off. It’s the same chevron from appearances and distance. I’m like, he is a Wehrmacht General. So that can’t be an SS chevron. But you’re right. But he arrives in a Wehrmacht staff car not an SS one (which they usually have their own, the image I showed has an SS numberplate). This mission is really the only seriously inaccurate one of the Russian missions. Besides Blood and Iron. But gratuitous tank battle to the Oder river is worth it.

    The Fw200 condor actually did serve in the battle of stalingrad, so this scene is spot on.
    One thing that pisses me off to no end with most WW II games (this one included) is the improper mag pouches for the weapons they are carrying. (at the start of the level the german riding on the back of the panzer IV in the cutscene was using a kar 98k but had Stg 44 mag pouches for example)

      Not as a bomber. KG40 was shipped in after they were encircled as emergency reinforcements for transporting supplies. Which as a former airliner the Fw200 is suited for. There were also only 276 built. I see about 80-100 in the opening scene. As a bomber it was exclusively Maritime operations, minelaying, anti-shipping. It was also Hitlers personal plane.

Much more grounded into the culture, bar the cringy para-russian tokenism and fuckfest with everything else in the game. WAW, while being period correct in the uniforms and guns(mostly, PTRS had no optics installed on it, only iron sights, optical mount for it was considered by Kochetov, but not implemented in Stalingrad timeline. Zaitsev wrote something about mounting PU on it for the sake of it, but nothing more), fails to deliver the SOUL of Stalingrad. Soul of the soviet union.

    So the Flamethrower is an amalgamation of the American M-2 flamethrower, and an experimental conversion kit for the American tanks. That was copied by the Germans for their M-35 Light Flamethrower.
    The M-35 had several short comings as after American M-2 flame throwers where captured in 1943. The Germans began making similar designs for theirs. Swapping out the old Oxygen systems for a more stable nitrogen and later helium.
    The reason those tanks explode is cuz the Germans never switched out of Oxygen as an accelerator. But the Flamethrowers should not be out in the open. They would be near tanks or armored cars, the tank would also not be worn unless assaulting. It should be on a truck or in its storage crate

    The flamethrower the Germans are using is an American M2. My guess is that much like the late war German tanks, the devs didn't want to waste disk space on modeling the correct FmW 35/41 since it was an asset that would be seldom used and not really visible to the player up close so they just gave recycled the existing flamethrowers from the Pacific campaign where they were going to be prominently featured.

    The flamethrowers that the Germans were using are on this mission is the M2 Flamethrower.
