Listing Every Historical Inaccuracy in Call Of Duty Vanguard

PLEASE NOTE At 2:35 the Inaccuracy counter skips from 13 to 15. This was because I was originally mislead by an unreality source which caused me to make a factually incorrect point here. I have since used the YouTube snipping tool to remove it from the video to prevent any spreading of incorrect information. ___ Corrections ___ 5:54: The Knights Cross of the Iron Cross was worn around the neck. Richter actually only has a Iron Cross 2nd class here, but still is a "combat medal" 8:23: These are not 20mm cannons, but 37mm cannons. 11:16: There actually was an altitude reader back there, the gunner could read it while the pilot focused on the target 20:54: It was fairly common practice for soldiers to only loud 5 rounds into the Lee-Enfield to prevent spring failures 21:00: The Panzer 4 F2 had a 75mm cannon, not a 76mm 23:33: These are not "Modern plate carriers". They are Italian ‘Samurai’ vests. still very misplaced for the German forces however. My apologies for these errors. This was my first ever Historical inaccuracy video and I have learned a lot since the publishing of this video years ago. I strive to create more factual, detailed and reliable sourced back information for all future content.

Imagine being so good as a soldier that you get a medal for a battle that hasn’t happened yet

My man did more research to make this 26 minute video than the entire Call of Duty team did making CoD Vanguard.

The worse thing about this game isnt the inaccurate weapons, its the disrespect they give to so many heros and good people in the war to the point they just make up lies about them to cast them in a bad light.

The best thing about Vanguard is that it makes playing World at War so much better

I like how Activision, trying not to look racist or sexist since all the leaks & whistleblowers & employee walkouts happened, tried to be more inclusive in this game while forgetting all the real inclusive heroes & soldiers during WW2.

Activision: “we want diversity!” Also Activision: Proceeds to ignore all the different possibilities for real diversity in favor of downright criminal levels of historical inaccuracy

Being an Italian, I feel bad for the constant lack of representation of Italian troops in almost every game presenting the Nort Africa front. This does not only occur in Cod Vanguard, but also in other games such as Battlefield V. Medal of Honor Airborne was probably one of the few games to do this, which I gave them props for.

Another fun fact: Almost every detail in the older CoD titles were more realistic with better attention paid to detail. Edit: I have over 7.5k likes on this comment and I'm not going to add "Mom,..." get the camera or "I'm famous." Bc that's not cool😎 Edit 2: Bruh, I'm not saying the older CoD titles were realistic, just more so in comparison. Pls stop with the hate

The absolute best were the Germans charging downhill, the Japanese soldier speaking perfect English, and the V2 rocket suddenly becoming pilotable

13:30 There was a parachuting us pilot in WWII Owen John Baggett actually is believed to have hit and possibly wounded a zero pilot with his service pistol, its better than not trying anything

Makes Return to Castle Wolfenstein look like a documentary.

COD Vanguard expectations in Stalingrad: Brutal house-to-house, urban combat COD Vanguard Stalingrad in reality: Assassin's Creed and Sniper Elite knock-off

The fact that the dev's put the stg44 in Japan AND before it was made is incredible. Like, did the dev's not question what the 44 in the rifles name ment?

There's a lot you've missed in Stalingrad, a lot of things in Sniper's apartment, for example the fact that Papasha has both Soviet and Imperial awards, or also there's some more inconsistencies with magical t-34-85 from future, for example it has white stripes on turret used for allied aviation identification. Also german soldiers are using stg-44s during battle of Stalingrad somehow.

16:40 blud thinks he's in warthunder fun fact: 10 December 1943, there was this Tiger Tank gunner (Kramer) that got angry about the sound of Russian fighter bullets bouncing off the tank. So his commander, Carius, let him shoot at them. On the second shot he got lucky and hit one in the wing, bringing it down.

The devs of this game were so obsessed on adding racial, national and gender diversity that they ended up ridiculing every group they were trying to appeal to with such cartoonish inaccuracies. Not to mention the total disregard for every other form of historical accuracy.

Hey there! I worked as a QA tester at Activision during the course of Vanguard's development and I can wholeheartedly say that I submitted a lot of these historical inaccuracies (specifically anachronistic/unrealistic weapon placements, weapon details, and smaller nitpicks like the "Bugger that RPG" line) to the developers via impressions surveys and bug reports. They all fell on deaf ears. You were just as frustrated as I was and I worked on the damn thing.

The one about the scared soldier turning from a real human to another ai was the best

After playing through Vanguard, I’m honestly surprised this video isn’t 5 times longer.
