Call of Duty WW2 was hyped up before its release to be an extremely ”researched”, ”scanned” and ”historically authentic” video game. So today we put that to the test by analyzing and listing every historical inaccuracy that I was able to find in Call Of Duty WWII. There are likely more inaccuracies than what I mentioned in the video so please comment if you have any more or any corrections.

Cod WW2 and Vanguard were insults
It was probably really rare 2:40.
Fact: you read this before finishing the video
Maybe SledgeHammer did research but mixed it all up. Into something not historically accurate.
Face reveal at 200k?
Cry more lmao, go play Arma or something if you want a realistic accurate game, this is COD for gods sake

Your not in control of a 76mm Sherman. Instead your given control of the only 75mm Sherman in the game. Also it’s the only American tank model in this game that’s not a British Firefly.
This is why I hate cod ww2
I was playing Hill 493 and I saw a German soldier WITH AN AMERICAN M2 FLAMETHROWER
Wait until you see Vanguards inaccuracies
Just 2 small things about the M1 Garand: the sights on the M1 generally have a bit larger aperture than the photo you posted (that is a Post-WWII sight, and might be a national match sight, which had a smaller aperture), and when looking down the sight, as in aiming to shoot, the aperture on a standard sight looks pretty accurate to how the game portrays, just alot closer to your face.
As for the "Sledgehammer" engraved in the receiver, that was likely done for both copyright and serial number reasons. Not all of the companies that made M1s are still in business, but companies like Winchester and International Harvester still are (or at least the rights are owned by someone else), and Sledgehammer likely didn't want to pay the royalties to use them.
Who cares
Honestly better than vanguard
I like how you violate the guns by nicknaming them "BB Guns" 🤣
2:39 Thats a diff gun. I cant recall which one but I remember getting it and seeing how similar they were. You know more than I do so I could be wrong 😂
That music slaps tho
FINALY SOMEONE HAS REALIZED
It's a game
Really COD Black ops cold war is more history inaccurate than COD WW2 ?
Some would call this man a nerd but what he actually is is a genius who has a life and puts hard work and research into his content
Not to be that guy, but I think the Sherman had a 75 based on the characteristics you described for it, and penetration tables don’t really accurately provide a good basis for the penetration of a tank shell due to the array of things you can do to armor to make it stronger besides thickening it. Still, that shot should’ve gone clean through.
another inaccuracy with the stuka in the freeze frame was that its wheels were shown rotated 90 degrees in their fairings
I never thought I would get sick of the M1 Garand ping, yet here we are. Shameful display by Sledgehammer Games 😔
The French resistance member, and the papers and liberation will probably just them reusing assets
Do have to say the 76mm gun on the Sherman actually has around 140mm of penetration the 75 mm had around 90mm of penetration
The M97 combat shotgun was also only used in ww2 by the MARINES! Troops in Europe should have model 12s or model 37s. The M1941 LMG was also only used in Europe by the Canadians…
4:24 Yes thats True but i mean they couldn't now make that Part hours long
