Sounds like a good idea.
There are people who haven't realized that they take some gigantic liberties with the story for the sake of entertainment. This isn't World War Simulator.

For the same reason things like crash landing on top of a zeppelin and walking on top of it had it's own cutscenes and story written for it in Battlefield 1.
Because they've always taken big liberties with the the events that the stories are based around. Some times they don't even care if the story is unrealistic, let alone based on reality. Entertainment is the primary focus.

The major plot points are going to revolve around true events, as per usual. Anything in between that cannot be expected to follow that trend.
The fact that this is what people get riled up about, but not all the other bogus stuff that happens in BF's campaigns, is pretty concerning to me when it comes to people's priorities.

I totally get it if someone says "I don't like this because I prefer playing as a male", but don't give me this argument about immersion and realism in the story.

go watch the full reveal. the devs flat out said IMMERSION is what they are aiming for. so putting a female character in that context, with a prosthetic arm none the less is flat out immersion breaking and goes against what the devs have said they want to do. 

 

and an unrealistic event is different from an unrealistic aspect of world building. the setting here is WW2, the devs said they want to explore that and explore the stories that WW2 had to tell. while the stories arent real they are clearly aiming to set the setting as a realisitic WW2 setting. this isnt a fantasy game nor do Dice want to make a fantasy game based on WW2, they flat out said this is a WW2 game. so when people complain about an wrong aspect of WW2 world building they do have a point and it has nothing to do with their view about gender equality.

the reality of the situation is that the female solider in the trailer, with a prosthetic arm (i mean seriously?) is clearly there to help push a political agenda and has nothing or little to do with proper world building and story telling. and THATS whats got people riled up. its not because the character in question is a female and they hate females. 

 

they can tell WW2 stories with awesome female characters involved and they can do it in a realistic way that doesnt seem ridiculous or makes one pause and say "umm what?", they dont need to add "badass female character number 9473" to represent women in the game. a prime example would be RDR2, it clearly wasnt a realistic story but they had amazing female characters like bonnie in the story, with actions that represented that time era accurately, its called good story telling and world building. 

If they really wanted realistic immersion there would be perma death, and you would not be able to randomly spawn into planes etc.
