Elites in real life - Battlefield 1 

Yeah.. scary both in the game and in real life. The most realistic Elite class too!

+AKA-ART i was surprised that both the armor and armaments was accurate as well. good on dice there

My favorite class it's so cool looking

During WW1 they actually wouldnt recruit married men or men with children for trench raiding or stormtroopers because the officers knew they had such a high mortality rate that they couldnt stomach the idea of making so many orphans and widows.

so trench raiders were homeless men

Ałex, thanks, and it was actually the Germans who used them first, and I think they were introduced in 1915? Not sure on when but in the later years of the war they were so faired by the Brits, French and other allied nations that they where prime targets for snipers and they where always accompanied by normal soldiers to give them covering fire while getting closer to the enemy trenches.

Kyle h they were introduced in verdun after the artillery bombardment a in 1916 when the Germans pushed into the small village

The Wise Bread, you truly are wise, but seriously thanks, I knew it was either 1915 or 1916

Kyle h "you truly are wise" you both are far lost. You only remember what you google for 2 months. Just pick up a book. History is important.

ARintheseatSESH I read 2 books about world war 1 took like three classes online for it and googled a ton I also know almost certainly that flamethrowers were first used in verdun by the german empire

Ammar Khan and to verify another myth concerning the Sappenpanzer armor is that flamethrower Pioneers never wore these while operating flamethrowers due to the sheer weight of the equipment. You’d be carrying 70lbs (Kleif) or 55lbs (Wex) on your back, plus an additional 35lbs over your chest and stomach. That’s way too much weight to move in and it would’ve been too hard to operate the flamethrower as well. I comment this because there has been misconception over the years about these men wearing armor while using liquid fire. Perhaps defensively, but I’ve never seen any photos to prove that either.

You can see the sniper mask in campaign, in “Through Mud and Blood” the snipers have a metal mask and can survive a headshot to the head by a normal rifle in the game

Yes it was👍

@@theprodigy6713 good catch

The American always wanted to try that so the British used as well either armed them with a Lewis or Maxim MG like the Americans did with B.A.R or the Maxim the French did and bever armed their men with Machine Gun instead a Chaulchat they will use the Hotchkiss M1909 or Automatic Carbine

Kamuro104 Facts, I respect those soldiers who fought in ww1

On both sides

I've been interested in World War 1 long before Battlefield 1 came out

@@mustardorb8867 Well besides belgium, the central powers werent really in the wrong nor were they in the right, austria declared war on a country which suported their dukee murderers. Too many people try to push this statement that the germans were evil in ww1 like they were nazis.

Me: *sees ur name* *quốc ca việt nam playing*

True true and flame troopers deal a ton of damage to human irl that u will die under 30 seconds

You became the very thing you swore to destroy!

This was because firefighters had more experience dealing with fire and were less scared of it than normal soldiers. (Got that from simple history you should go subscribe they make good content)

Well well...how the turntables

The Big Boi I think everyone does

That's insane. I'm a smaller dude and even firing a 12 gage isn't very comfortable for me. Would hate to find out what would happen if I fired one of those things. 🤪

Thats bullshit.

It would break their shoulders only if it was held in the wrong fashion

That was part in fact to the terrible grip, it was practically a pistol grip put on one of the highest caliber rifles of the time, not a good combo

@@SufferToResist no, its true

Modest Pelican Gaming you here? :D Yeah i hope for elite classes in bf 2018

Modest Pelican Gaming I love you daddy pelican

Daddy peli

Cheers dude. Your videos set the standards high so trying to up my game xD

You think they would have good armour especially since if you were seen everyone would shoot at you

It’s Fortie mathematics ?! HANS !!!

Hans Hol den Flammenwerfer ;)

Fortie The man himself This bad boi can werf so much flammen

It werfers flammen

HANZ BRING MY SHOULDER.

I imagine DICE had the idea, then they thought it might be too OP, and people would hate it because of 'nade spam.

awesomeC928 It would be perfect for the DLC Apocalypse.

Paired with a flame trooper that would be totally broken.

@@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798 I think no. The flame trooper is a big target with a great power in hands. The gas trooper have a grande power. But, your time in battle is little. ;)

Or the Sergeant of Fusiliers of the Line Platoon.

In the same way: - Tankhunter is a buff Assault - Sentry and Vela-Perossa soldiers are buff Support - Infiltrator is a buff Scout

Yeah, a few people have mentioned that. I should have researched that point a little bit more.

Technically speaking they can explode if the bullet causes sparks upon contact against the tank its just extremely unlikely because the sparks would be flying away from the tank so its possible just unlikely

+G1r4ff35 i dont think it would catch fire even with sparks. Most fuels like diesel dont catch fire, even if you hold a match over it, you need to make it into a mist first. So given that they wouldnt use the most flammable fuel, and pressurize it with an inert gas like C02, i dont think you could make it explode in that sense even if you tried. Of course depending on the pressurization of it, which i beleive you need to propel the fuel, you would get something explosion like if you managed to destroy the tanks and let the pressure out.

PP22 oh I thought they use normal gass

G1r4ff35 4r3 C001 They used an interesting mixture to ensure the liquid fire sticks to it's target and burns. They were mainly used for clearing out bunkers and steal the oxygen from the building, drawing out the enemy.

(These results arent accurate because the amount of votes were fairly low, so take this poll with a grain of salt)

you should probably use a online straw pol instead easier to count ;D

Yeah, thanks for the tip

i am an apache, wolololo

The mg sentry is absolut shit, the smg sentry is a fucking killing machine

david fletcher I'm only speculating but propably to signal your position to your Ally troops by making huge glare. At least that's what I always thought. The mirror is tilted in 45 degree angle so it catches sun rays from above and projects them to your comrades in at distance in direction that you point the mirror. Thus being a spawns beacon in game. Just speculating :)

It was used for signaling. Morse code with light essentially.

Our testicles

It’s a teleporter duh.

david fletcher it was a signaling sign that used the Sun. It was made in India

In reality it didn't work

​@vojtacze1181 it would if you threw a grenade (or launched explosive round at them)

Use the mark 4 tank with the anti tank setup. you have the same than ;-)

Airplanes too

Or even a trench raider. Swinging a blade, impaling a person, seeing the death you caused.

Many kills form flamethrowers came form when the men came running out of a trench because of a flamethrower and were shot in the back

HYPE

AKA-ART are you hoping for ww2 modern or don't care

i bet it will be ww2 they will be able to reuse alot of assets plus be able to "continue" from the first world war

Knew since the announcement of the title it would be the Second World War. I don't need Westie's poll to confirm that lol

G1r4ff35 4r3 C001 I’m so disappointed its a korean war game

it was a real life gun supposed to be on a italian aircraft weapon big enough to be on a airplane but in BF1 they just shrunk it down and slapped a pistol grip on it

@@dachad9507 the real life Villar Perosa was essentially a miniaturized MG, it was designed to be bipod mounted and had a butterfly trigger typical with mounted machine guns The reason for this was because the mountainous regions made it difficult for soldiers to lug around a proper full sized MG, so they made a miniaturized one instead. Then they realized it would be a great shock troop weapon so they experimented with different stocks for the Villar and eventually settled on using a modified carcano stock and also gave it a more traditional trigger design, this is how the Beretta M1918 (which the game calls the "automatico") was born The Villar Perosa held by the elite is based off a movie prop, but the idea of an experimental infantry-centric stock, receiver and trigger for the double mag VP model was not unprecedented, and since BF1 was really the first mainstream game to approach the subject I think we can forgive them for the inaccuracy, because now games like Izonzo exist and are able to provide us a more accurate depiction of funky ww1 tech

I guess it just made you a big target. That's why more flamthrowers died. Not because the tank exploded.

I can't tell if you're trolling. U think flame troopers died more than who? Rifleman? Flame trooper was a dangerous job cuz u were often within 10-20 meters of your enemy, would have to expose your entire body to shoot, and your exposure time was between 1-4 seconds. As opposed to a millisecond exposure time for a rifleman. But the tank on their back was pressurized and separated into 2 compartments, propellant and fuel. In order for the pack to explode an enemy bullet woukd have to do the same thing as 2 nozzles on the front end of the hose. Which was so rare it's almost a non issue. A bullet would render the tank useless. But it wouldn't kill the operator.

I think if its shot it should start leaking, the flame trooper should have to stop and patch up the leak leaving him vulnerable or lose all fuel :)

+Curt Wiltzius Actually that is somewhat untrue... During WW1 incendiary ammunition was used which would ignite the pack. What people dont get is that it's like a propane tank and that shooting it alone wont cause it to explode, there has to be a flame or heavy enough sparking to ignite the fuel source and that would easily cause it. But even in WW2 there are SEVERAL WW2 documentary films that show flame troopers packs bursting when being shot as often the mild steel cores of many of the bullets used would be plenty sufficient to cause sparking that would ignite the fuel tanks. Usually it wouldnt explode and be like a grenade blast... I think people exaggerate that aspect in games and movies, but much like if a car explodes it pretty much only does damage to the user and often it did not kill them outright but rather they burned to death. Flame troopers were known to have fairly short lives on the battlefield due to the nature of their job being so close. But in general, yes the flame tanks exploding was far less common than myth and lore would have you believe however it likely happened with enough frequency to have it reported as is the norm with a lot of battlefield reporting.

Incendiary ammo, sure. That makes sense. And u basically said the same as me with regards to regular bullets. They can cause sparks. And that could ignite it. But it was rare....also, u don't see people like swapping out mags in the movies before the blow up a flame trooper. They portray regular bullets just blowing up packs left right and center.
