It's interesting to see games deviate from being historically accurate. I know CoD: WWII received criticism for featuring minorities that weren't in the theater of war and removing Nazi iconography. Generally done with inclusiveness in mind.
Well they've done the same here in BF4. Since when were females in the frontline? Or am I just completely wrong.
To offer a female perspective:
In games, I generally prefer to play as a female, even in fighting games. It's not because I feel discriminated against, or that I feel left out and excluded. I just like female characters.
However, in a game based on history... I have NO issues with there being no female character to play.
What would actually be more interesting, was if there were some broader roles explored. If you want to include females in your game based on WWII, why don't you include them in the real roles they would have done? For example, the ATS (Army), WAAF (Air Force) and WRNS (Navy) in Britain. Even Winston Churchill's daughter served. Actually, screw those. Even more interesting were the secret, experimental units made up of women in the USA, who were chosen from the WAACs, then were trained to use the anti-aircraft gun batteries.
