Its nice to see that they are adding a very famous Canadian soldier in time for Canada Day, but he is being listed as a USA soldier with a generic USA face, when he was very notably aboriginal.
This is not a USA vs Canada thread, I am Canadian but I like Americans and I don’t like how many Canadians jump on the anti-USA bandwagon as of late, so this thread is not about anti-Americanism.
But Tommy Price is one of the most decorated WW2 Canadian soldiers. He was one of the few non-Americans to be awarded the US silver star decoration, but he served with Canada in WW2 and in Korea. He served in the joint USA/Canada special forces “Devils Brigade”.
Adding him as a generic USA soldier would be like adding a famous Ukrainian soldier as a generic Soviet.
We even have TV commercials (heritage minutes) in Canada to commemorate him. He is a highly respected aboriginal Canadian war hero that is praised by both aboriginals and not aboriginals alike:
Canadian TV heritage minute on Tommy Price:
Here is a short animated infographic video about Prince’s WW2 exploits:
Here is a 43 minute documentary film about him if anyone is interested:
And he should be a level IV rifleman if there are level 4 riflemen in the game. Maybe give him the face of one of the USA aboriginal paratroopers.
I hope they fix the premium Turner SMLE squad too at some point, modification of a British/Canadian made weapon, firing British Ammunition, developed for Canada, marketed specificly for Canada. The only thing American about it is the inventor of the modification, but that means very little as most Commonwealth weapons have foreign inventors.
Yet… the Radio squad it comes with is US. Make it make sense.
poor choice of example with Ukraine USSR given current history, second yeah making a native into a typical European is bad, also the paratroopers with face paint
only one was native or aboriginal
Filthy Thirteen member Clarence Ware applies war paint to Charles Plauda, June 5, 1944. The idea was McNiece’s, to honor his Native American heritage and to energize the men for the danger ahead.
isn’t it ironic how they keep messing up with nations and such?
legit, some tanks and airplanes were given to the US despite being british.
the bren carrier came with 2 british soldiers and 2 american speaking soldiers dressed up with british uniforms.
they had to changed the upcoming british suppressed thompson squads because they were part of the norwegian commandos but spoke perfect english. yet they are still wearing the " free norwegian " badge.
they also initially stated that the racmke was supposed to be italians, and then changed that one as well.
sure. it is not “much” at the end of the day.
but how can you get small stuff wrong most of the time
