Which is a bad move considering the game has almost nothing to do with IRL events and stuff. Well at least the story of british guy was fun and had BF feeling to it because of being silly and over the top.

Sure thing. For me games are for fun purposes. If I want to know more about real side of WW2 events, I’d rather watch some documentary. Games should never go full serious mode as it ruins fun and enjoyment. That’s why games like Wolfenstein series are good but BFV SP is mediocre at best.  
And honestly, BFV overall is mediocre because Dice tried too hard to please everyone and in the end pleased nobody.
