“Enlisted is a WWII themed multiplayer shooter, with a (((STRONG FOCUS ON HISTORICAL AUTHENTICITY.)))”
It is in the first line of the sponsor, it is one of the MAIN selling points.

enlisted ads are very far-fetched
you own a squad and make them go somewhere? boom tactical
you have SERVERS? boom MMO 
and so on.

All Games these days are complete lies when it comes to advertising.
Heck this game still calls itself an MMO as well and in the vaguest sense it barely is.
So also in that vague sense yes these guns and tanks did exist so boom “historical accuracy” now applies in a vague yet still true way.
But really other then vague truths what are they gonna advertise? I doubt the tagline “come pay2play a Nazi!” somehow I doubt those ads would sell well… though given how this games playerbase has shaken out… maybe.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
authenticity != realism, accuracy, although realism and accuracy do add to authenticity
authenticity in this sense relates to the feel of something. do the guns and vehicles feel right? do they behave as you’d expect without you needing to suspend your disbelief too much? on the most part, yes, with some notable exceptions (ahem… sherman stabilisers, g41/johnson reloads)
this is why they no longer advertise the game as being realistic and historically accurate. too many walking sim nerds came and complained it wasn’t hll

I never said a thing about realism or accuracy in this thread, that is a strawman.

Oh thanks Sseth so that’s why yesterday i saw huge influx of useless pumas and stuarts for me to kill them in single shot, and also why most matches on Normandy are unplayable since newbies try to play call of duty instead rushing the objective. I guess i just got a little tease what about to come with Steam launch, this game def need some kind of tutorial since newbies will think that going for only kills and not building spawn beacons is a normality.
One thing That probably proposed MM will try to correct. Atleast said pumas will only face equal tanks… And users have a way to learn the game
It’s something impossible to fix tho, the player is always volatile.
If only his advertisement would boost Moscow population since i just played first match with newly unlocked T28 and expected to get few kills and get instantly nuked by Panzers and yet i was playing against bots in a tutorial like match with zero deaths and bot only once shown explosive at me. That poor console player in the enemy team he was doing worse than actual bots.
you didn’t say much about anything
and i’m not saying you did say anything about realism or accuracy. what you did was strongly imply this game isn’t authentic, when i’d say that it is.
i’d say they do. guns are reasonably accurate (though they have not been in the past) and so are the vehicle specs. tanks should be a bit faster but they still feel like tanks. it’s not like battlefield where tigers have rotation speeds rivalling modern mbts (although AAA in this game still does, lol). point is it gets more right than it gets wrong by a pretty large margin
Historical gear =/= game settings
Apart from that reason is stupid as fuck, Keofox stated that the game was never supposed to be ha. So the wrong advertisment makes even less sense unless devs intentionally made wrong advertisment (after all it was in the OBT trailer iirc).
And they still advertise with ha…

yes, that’s literally what i was talking about. i wasn’t actually talking about historical gear when i mentioned ‘walking sim nerds’, i was talking about the people who want this to be a slow paced sim shooter where people sit behind cover, so stop reading too hard into shit and making yourself cry
People still conflate the two. So that’s why he made the reply. Especially the part where he provides all the evidence of them advertising it to people who enjoy HA. I’m also curious to know how authenticity isn’t a synonym for accuracy? Due to one of the definitions for authentic being: “based on facts; accurate or reliable.” If someone gave you fool’s gold saying it was authentic gold, would you be mad?

thought some genius would bring that up
it is, and in certain ways the game is accurate. in other ways it is not. it’s not the same as accuracy, because something can be authentic without being 100% accurate.
like i said
this isn’t a good comparison
Provide examples? From what I know, it’s the other way around, things can be accurate without being 100% authentic. For example, certain things can be accurate to the facts in their depiction of them, though if everything is not accurate, it is not an authentic representation of the time period. Most people want things to be accurate enough to provide both an immersive atmosphere and suspend disbelief of any of the minor errors. Which is why people who want HA enjoy accuracy to encourage an immersive experience. We don’t mind minor inaccuracies like squad setups, prototypes/designed equipment being rare but present, and certain game mechanics. This doesn’t make it an authentic experience, but it provides an immersive one that can make the player feel like he’s actually playing a WW2 game and not a game with just WW2 weapons in it.
How? You can’t make an unsubstantiated claim and just assume everyone would agree that you are right. Fool’s Gold is not authentic Gold, in fact, it is not gold at all.

Nice bait.

Literally 99% of comments I’ve seen or made about “accuracy/realism/immersion, etc” are about not turning the game into bfv/vanguard/another generic ww2 shooter where you either crouch slide across Norwegian mountains as a Japanese girl with post-war French weapons or drive around Stalingrad in your King Tiger shooting guys with RPD and AS-44.
