Why? Because Normandy was almost six months before the Jumbo even reached Europe.

Yes - it has been discussed on here ad nauseum right from when it first arrived.
But it is only the first and possibly most famous of Enlisted completed “historical accuracy” SNAFU’s - there are many more… some are even more egregious - like the Charleton LMG in Tunisia - they were made in New Zealand and Australia as emergency backup weapons for the home guard, but never issued to troops and stayed in a warehouse until that burned down post war!
And of course all the various prototype weapons that never left factories/testing grounds…

German having G43 is fanasty since the production numbers of that is less than a 1 million, everyone having FG42 is also fantasy because not enough was to produced to equip even equip the fallschrimjagers, all german aircraft being able to do CAP and CAS roles is fantasy since they would have been jumped by american fighters before they got to the front line, The tiger and panther are also fantasy since they have nothing wrong with them including their armor being made from high quality steel and not the actual steel used at this time (hint you would be BTFOed by 75MM HE) as well as being on the beaches. hell German Tanks being on the beaches is fantasy. finally the German Fallschrimjagers doing paradrops is fantasy since they pretty much stopped that after Crete along with not having the control the skies for a safe paradrop.
so do you really want to go down this path of fantasy equipment in this game
P.S jumbo was in europe in September which is 3 months after D-day and around 1 month after Operation overlord of which D-day is apart of, not the 6 months you claimed

Operation Overlord - Normandy campaign - is “officially” finished 30 August, and Eisenhower took direct command of all allied armies in France on 1 September.
The first 128 Jumbo’s arrived on 22 September - so really only a 3 week gap!

The American forces facing a Tiger in normandy is also a fantasy. It was instead the Commonwealth forces in Caen

Wow, nobody ever mentioned it before you.
It’s quite interesting this type of guys will only mention one deliberate fact, and then create completely pointless topic about. Jumbo is in game for so long, yet they always think they’re the special ones, the smartest ones. And then tell us something that literally majority of playerbase is aware of for months.
So annoying.
want to know something funny, he got the timeframe wrong 
I really don’t care, you can find it on google in seconds. It’s not like it’s super secret hardcore information known only by history professors. He was probably just lazy to waste 10 secs of his life for this meaningless topic (which is pretty understandable). It’s pretty irrelevant.
This game is not, never has been, and never will be close to a real historical approximation. And if it were it would be a horrible experience to play.

Exactly, people should finally deal with one peculiar fact. If it would be historical/realistic, it would be completely uninteresting and researchable content would be depleted in one year. Plus explosions would be 1000% more annoying than nowadays.
But it’s so easy to cry about how games are unrealistic, jerks acting like they are some kind of elite who knows everything better than we, casual gamer plebs.
Does it matter? No.
Campaigns are soon nothing but a memory anyways.
Soon you maybe will fight in Tunisia with a Tiger.

Yeah but not one that has its winter or Normandy cammo.
They will most likely fix camo-options for different campaigns!

Lets hope so.
Mkb 42s in Moscow being one of the biggest time traveling offenders.

They had multiple commando operations though, which is a lot closer to what is represented in-game.

All you have to do is wait for the merge, which means ±2 months.
There’s also plenty of weapons that never saw combat in some campaigns. When the campaigns merge it’ll be even worse, we’ll have Moroccan volunteers fighting in the Pacific for some reason amongst many other things. Also stuff like German paratroopers dropping on the beaches of Normandy?
A historian could probably find something wrong with half, or more, of the content in this game.
I still like it from a historic standpoint. Enlisted prompted me to read up on a lot of things and I found out the Johnson rifle was actually used by my countrymen against the Japanese or the the Americans used a lot more M50’s than I would’ve initially thought or that the A-20 is built in similar numbers as the B-25 but for some reason isn’t as iconic!
I understand your frustration though but Enlisted is a far cry from historically accurate…more like “historically inspired” is how I see it. Hope you can enjoy it more in that light

This is the most erroneous statement “anti-history” crowd uses.
No, not addding fantasy weapons doesn’t make the experience horrible.
The game would not fall apart if Berlin’s AS-44 and RPD, Moscow’s MKB-42 or Normandy’s M2 carbine were never added and instead other historical weapons would be balanced for both sides.
