Hi all!

Have you guys noticed that there are some really bad mistakes in the historical accuracy of the game? For example the Garand cannot be reloaded in the midle of a clip the way it can be in the game. But the worst is, that the German soldiers are not equipped with Kar98k rifles, but with G33/40 which was a rifle for the German mountain troops, and actually one of the rarest Mauser versions ever made. I really respect Col. John Antal, but someone who makes these kind of mistakes shouldn't call himself a WW2 military historian. Apart from this, the game is great!

Contrary to popular belief it is neither difficult nor time consuming to eject a partial enbloc from an M1 and insert another.

Simply pull the op-rod to the rear. Place your left hand over the receiver. Press the clip release latch found on the left hand side of every M1 ever built with your thumb. Presto! The enbloc and remaining rounds will eject into the palm of your hand. With the enbloc ejected the op rod will now stay to the rear, ready for the insertion of a new clip.
It takes much longer to read the above description than it does to perform the actual action.

The above procedure for clearing an M1 of ammo can be found in the WWII Basic G.I. Field Manual and in the G.I. Infantry Drill Manual. This procedure known as "unload" was taught to every G.I. in basic training as part of the basic manual of arms.

Yes, you're right, but in the game Baker only uses his right hand, pulls back the operating rod, and the clip jumps out in his hand. In real life, you need to hold the oprod in the rear position with one of your hands, while pressing the release button with the other.
How about the Mausers? Thats a far worse mistake in my opinion.
Oh, one more. When reloading the M1A1 carbine, Baker uses the oprod every time, even when a bullet is already chambered, but never pulls the slide on the 1911A1, even if all 7 rounds are fired ( after the last round is fired, the slide should stay back, but in the game it doesn't ). Really good game, but could have used a better ( real ) historian.

who cares itts still good

Of course its good. I just hate when the makers of a historical game doesn't care about accuracy. On more thing I noticed: In real the MP40 fires from an open bolt position, unlike in the game.
Everybody says MOHPA is ****, but its completely historically correct, and that is why I tend to like it a little more than BIA.

Did anyone notice that the BAR in the EIB video differed from the one in BIA: RTH30? Or am I seeing things that do not excist ?

Yeah, its different. Hope they improve the other guns also.

Why didnt they take in the German G43 semiautomatic rifle?Sure Ï know for sure that the germans haved the G43 in France.

Actually the game says it is the K98k, but the rifle modeled in the game is the G33/40. Easily distinguishable by the fact, that there is the upper handguard around the rear sight, a feature that the K98k does not have. Apart from this, it could be another rifle than the G33/40, for example a G24t or some other, foreign variaton, but at the timeframe the game is set in, only the K98k, and the G33/40 were in service with the German army.

It could also be a Kar 98a with the full length front handguard

Wasn't the 98a production stopped before WWII? and the 98a has a stacking rod hanging down underneath the muzzle?

WE_STAND_ALONE is right. The Kar98a production was stopped long before the war started.

At the end of the first brothers in arms they say that they jump into Arnhem, this is untrue it was the british airborne. seeing as they done so much research why do they say this it is just disrespectful to the men who died for my country.

The 101st did participate in Operation "market Garden".......the main objective was to clear the way for britisch armor along with the 82nd

I find it strange that in Earned in Blood all the panzergrenadiers have sg44's. This is not very realistic because it was a very rare weapon until the battle for the bulge and holland

I understand that, but the 82nd/101st were around the hindhoven and nijmegen. so it is still a problem. Also yes it is strange how the panzergrenadier have stg44 guns, they did come around in bigger quantities in late 44 early 45.

I think that the grease gun is the best sub machine gun in the game, ive fired one and it sounds exactly like the 1 in the game, looks the same too, man that is a fine gun....mmmmmmmm guns

nope you're not losing your mind. they do differ, but for the better, the one in eib looks better and is more powerful, although personally the m3 grease gun is my fave

Paddock...welcome to the forums. One rule we have here is "prove it"

You say you have fired an M3?

I see you have a birthyear of 1990 in your profile.That of course makes you 14 or 15yo if true.

In all good humor..I call BS

Post a pic of you doing it or actually a video with you saying your screenname! LOL

besides..I want to see a video of one firing..
