This game is going to feature DLC that has one of our most beloved founders and known to be one of the most humble men ever (George Washington) as an evil king...

"Historically inaccurate?" Well, it's a video game!

Get over it, people. There is much else that goes on in video games that people could be legitimately offended over, and this, isn't one of those cases.

I don't know you, I don't know your sense of humour, and there was literally no indication in any of your prior posts that this was a sarcastic post, so your schoolyard dig asking that I better not be British for realising this is pathetic.

As for looking at wiki, I can assure you I didn't, not that it matters because all you did was expand on what I wrote.

Ps. Thanks for the grammar lesson, I'll try to pay even less attention next time.

I was thinking cold war maybe

I will say yes to the cold war. So they have only saved the world once. WW1, WW2 America was part of an allied force. So its 1 save and 2 asists.

I would still call 1 a save.  Paris was ready to fall with Russia out of it and we swooped in at the last second.  Sure it was only at the very end but without us Germany still wins.  2 may be a different matter.  Russia was doing well even before we seriously fought the Germans, but there's no telling what the Japs would've done if we hadn't taken their focus away.  Maybe they would've come up behind Russia...and FUCKED THEM IN THEIR ASSES!

Well, the German tanks were designed to fight other tanks, not to mention the Germans were radio equipped allowing them to coordinate battles more easily.  The main battle tank at the outset of the war for Germany was the Panzer III which utilized a 50MM compared to a 47MM of the French Char B1 or the 37MM gun of the R35.  French tanks were largely defensive weapons, or technically outdated.  

I don't understand how on one hand you say they're prepared, when everything they prepared for was to fight WWI.  Granted, hindsight is 20/20, but the fact remains that German aspirations, just like those of Japanese were pretty evident.  It's one thing to say the British should have known, they aren't land locked to Germany, but the French were right there.   They witnessed Germany's capability with the Spanish Civil War, yet the weapons they developed to fight "the next war" were only incremental to what was available in WWI.

I agree that tactically, the Germans were light years ahead of anyone else.  They listened to experts in the US and Britain about the importance of air power, were as neither the US nor Great Britain heeded that same advice.  Not to mention they saw before any other European power did of the time, the importance of the tank in battle rather than simply in a support role.

As for the Maginot Line, there's nothing like building a wall with a way to walk around it.  It took the Germans 6 weeks to overrun France.  Militarily the French were ineffective.  The French haven't had a capable general since Napoleon.  Why France was even restored to a nation state after WWII is beyond me.  At least the British fought in WWII, not to mention WWI.  The French idea of fighting is "Oh look, a bullet, let me stop it with my body!"  There isn't a military technical innovation that the French have been able to do anything with decisively since the trébuchet.  

Sorry, I don't think highly of the French militarily.  Yes, the US would not exist if it were not for the French, but it's important to note that was all before the Napoleon era and largely due to our tactic of fighting during the American Revolutionary War.  I think the 100 Years War, then the French Revolution, and finally Napoleonic Wars just took the fight out of the French.  They're great for fighting weaker powers, but put a gun into one man's hands and he could conquer France, in my opinion.

ITT: America, fuck yeah.

Also. To the French. Agincourt.

I didn't feel bad at all when I had to whack virtual Italian-American mobsters in Mafia II.

Which ironically was direct result of the heavy casualties the USSR suffered in both world wars.

Actually, most of German PzIII tanks in that period where armed with 37mm gun - there is common misconception that superiority of German tanks won Battle of France, when it was their superior tactics, leaderships and communications, and proper use of air superiority.
